Happy Eid Mubarak or better said here "SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI" :)
I know its rather late for the good wishes but I'm holding back because I have just completed my six (6) days fasting in the month of Syawal and today is my Hari Raya again. The prophet Muhamad SAW have once said any muslim who completed fasting in the holy month of Ramadhan followed by six (6) days in Syawal month, as if he/she have been fasting for the whole year :)
Hari Raya is the time of the year, a celeberation that will be waited by most muslim here . As for me I do feel the athmosphere by doing shopping preparing for the festival. Got a couple of new coth for me and my love ones...a good bargin too :)
This year since my love ones are not able to be with me for the first four days, I decided to follows my aunties and cousin back to my grand dad home town in Negeri Sembilan, Gemenche to be precise. It has been more than 30 years ago since my last visit. Modernisation do take place but the old wodden house still strongly stand. Families and distance relatives where there and some I don't ever know have gathered in the small wooden house for a small kenduri tahlil (blessing ritual for Allah SWT , prophet Muhamad SAW and for the elders who has passed).
Ramdhan month for me...well, I need to make true confession that I do not peformed to my best during the holy month. I have missed out the Tarawih in the mosque by performing alone at home, do not do the "wakaf" in the mosque for the last 10 days ...all of these was due to unaccepted excuses. That shows how incompetent and ungreatful muslim I have been :(
We all pray for a better Ramadhan next year...hoping Allah SWT granted us the age, insyallah.
Coincidently, this year Hari Raya falls the same month for our IndependentDay and Malaysia Day celebration together. Taking this opportunity, wishing all Malaysian happy Independent Day & Malaysia Day...and value the freedom we have achieved from our warriors/soldiers in past...May god bless them, insyallah
Wassalam and warmest regards...to my fellow readers
