Salam Aidiladha

Today, the muslims worldwide are celebrating Eid al adha (Raya Korban / Festival of sacrifice), to commemorate the willingness of Nabi Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his own son, Nabi Ismail as an act of his obedience to Allah, which Allah has substituted Nabi Ismail with a sheep. At the same time, almost 3 Mils of Hajj pilgrims are performing their stoning ritual in Mina, which symbolizes stoning the devil.

2. Wave of pilgrims marching towards the jamrats for stoning ritual

This year, we are celebrating Eid al-Adha in Doha. Other than during my study, this is my first time celebrating Eid in a foreign country. Yesterday we made a small scale of our favorite meal for Eid celebration, just enough for our small family and neighbor. It was actually on trial basis as the cooking was mostly referred to googled recipes & with limited resources... 'Nasi impit' was cooked based on my instinct though ;p Alhamdulillah, the food turned out just great, according to my Johorian hubby based on his expectation & benchmarking ;)

Fadhilat puasa di hari Arafah

Esok adalah bersamaan 9 Zulhijjah dimana para jemaah haji akan wukuf di Padang Arafah. Bagi umat Islam yang tidak mengerjakan haji, kita digalakkan berpuasa pada hari tersebut. Insyallah, ini adalah untuk peringatan untuk diri sendiri jugak.

Ketika Rasulullah SAW ditanya
tentang puasa di hari Arafah,
maka baginda bersabda:
"Ia Dapat Menghapuskan Dosa
Setahun Yang Lalu Dan
Setahun Yang Akan Datang"

Hadith Riwayat Imam Muslim

It's my Birthday :)

Happy Birthday to me ;)

Alhamdulillah, I'm thankful to Allah for giving me the opportunity to live my wonderful life and granting all the 'nikmah' & good health to me and my family. I always pray for HIS love & blessing and for the happiness in our life and in hereafter, ameen.



Akid seemed to be in a joyful mood when he reached home from school. He excitedly told me that his class teacher, Miss Jenette (J) is sharing the same birthday with me. No wonder, he was happy because Miss J has thrown a small party in his class ;)

In the afternoon, we got an appointment with Miss J to discuss on Akid's school progress. That was the first time we met her as she's new in the school replacing the previous class teacher who had left to other school. Well, she's a very nice lady and accommodating to both parents & students :)
