Family Togetherness

Monday, March 9, 2009

Today is the 12th Rabiul Awal 1430 of the Islamic Calendar.

Malaysia, one of the Islamic countries on this planet earth, is declared as a Public Holiday. Offices, schools, banks, organisations factories are close. Last night, most mosques and suraus held special congregation by reciting the verses of the Berzanzi after Maghrib Prayer. Light cookies and drinks were soon served .

Alhamdulillah, all members of my family are home, the last being Mohammad Asshad, who was back from Manila at around 1.00 am this morning. I started my day by performing Solat Subuh in Surau AlNasirin and I recited Yassin upon reaching home. Then when I was busy banging the keyboard, my brilliant grand daughter, Maryam, came and disturbed my chores. As usual she wanted to play around with ABC. Hey where are my beloved twins? Abang, the elder, and Anan, the younger, are still sleeping and they would be awake any time now.

So what will be my itinenery today? The Muar Mosque will be conducting a talk on Prophet Muhammad (saw) at around 0830 hrs. Well, I might as well be there because I am given leave for this great day.

Salam.
