It Turns Out That The Mothers Who Were Slashed At The Sunday Market Wanted To Pray Tahajud At The Mosque When The Time For Sahur Arrived

JAKARTA - A mother named, Khamidah (51) was stabbed by an unknown person (OTK) when she wanted to perform the tajahud prayer at the Jalan Harsono RM mosque, Ragunan, Pasar Minggu, Thursday, April 7, at 03.20 WIB.

Khamidah said that the incident began when she left home to go to the Al-Hukama Mosque in the area of the Indonesian Attorney's Education and Training Agency, South Jakarta. Khamidah said at that time she wanted to pray tahajjud, then continued with the morning prayer in congregation.

"When I was about to go for tahajjud, I said to the children, 'I want to go for tahajjud first'. Then the kids said "yes, ma'am" I immediately started walking. Suddenly there was a loud motorbike, I didn't answer, uh suddenly he took it out bent knife (celurit)," said Khamidah tearfully, Thursday, April 7, night.

Khamidah realized there was a man passing in front of her, then turned towards her. At first he didn't think he would be hurt or stabbed. Khamida only thought that the perpetrator just wanted to ask for the address.

"He (the perpetrator) approached me, I was on the sidewalk, I was walking, I thought he wanted to ask for the address," said Khamidah.

"Then I covered the right side of the neck but my finger was already hit, uh, he moved instead, stabbed the left, then continued to the temple," he continued.

After slashing himself, the perpetrator fled to Ragunan, South Jakarta. According to Khamidah's vision, the perpetrator was alone and using a motorcycle.

He also shouted for help and immediately rushed to the warteg across the street.

"I immediately screamed for help, I saw someone else at dawn at the warteg. There were about 8 to 9 people. He stabbed really hard," he explained.

The victim's son, Ibnu Fajar (21), admitted that he was surprised by the current situation of society. Because his mother became a victim of stabbing by OTK.

But before the incident, Ibnu had a strange feeling for his mother. Because Khamidah used to go to the mosque at 04.30 WIB. This is actually earlier at 03.20 WIB when people are eating sahur. According to Ibnu, it was the first time that his mother had permission to perform the tahajjud prayer at the mosque.

"Yes, this is the first time my mother has allowed me to pray Tahajud, when I heard the screams, I immediately rushed out of the house to see what was happening," he said.
