Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri

After cleansing mind, body and soul during fasting period in the month of Ramadan come the festive day of Eid. One of the most awaited festivals of Muslims community. The literal meaning of Eid itself is "to break the fast".

Muslims families wake up early in the morning and get ready with their brand new traditional clothes for offering prayers to Allah. Men visit the nearby mosque and womenfolk perform the prayer rituals right at their home. After the prayers are over all take one another into a warm embrace and greet each other by saying "Eid Mubarak".

Eid is celebrated with great passion and enthusiasm among Muslims and symbolizes virtuousness. The prayers are followed by a sermon, where forgiveness, peace, brotherhood and a sense of fellowship is preached. All praises be to Allah SWT for his nikmah to us.

10 Hari Lagi

20 Ramadhan 1430 H.

Hari ini, genap 20 hari umat Islam berpuasa. Ini bermakna tinggal 10 hari lagi Syawal bakal menjengah tiba. Ramai yang gembira kerana tidak perlu lagi berlapar dan dahaga. Namun bagi segelintir umat yang beriman dan bertaqwa, ini juga bermakna tinggal hanya 10 hari lagi untuk melipatgandakan pahala dan amalan mereka.

Kita di golongan yang mana?

Setelah biasa-biasa kita ke masjid atau surau sepanjang tahun, terasa gembiranya mengisi kekosongan ruang dan menjadi orang yang mengimarahkan rumah Allah. Tiba-tiba, masuknya bulan Ramadan, Subhanallah, penuh! Terutamanya solat tarawikh. Bila fikir-fikir balik, sejak bila solat tarawikh menjadi solat yang paling penting? Mana perginya semua jemaah ini sepanjang tahun? Kejap ada kejap tak ada, macam ‘chips more’ pula ya.
