Salam dari bumi Anbiya 22/9/08

Ketika ini pukul 3.35 pm hari Isnin 22/9/08 di Kota Madinah.

Saya ketika ini berada diKota Madinah dan sedang bersedia untuk bertolak ke Mekah melaksanakan ibadah Umrah. Tiga malam di Madinah sangat menyeronokkan kerana dapat melaksanakan ibadat puasa bersama sama jemaah dari seluruh dunia. Begitu ramai jemaah di Masjid Nabi, terutamanya mereka yang beriqtikaf. Selama 10 hari mereka akan 'mengurungkan diri' didalam mesjid untuk mengerjakan amal ibadat, selaras dengan sunnah Rasulullah.
Mengerjakan umrah sangat berlainan semasa dibulan Ramadan Karim ini. Semua jemaah berlumba lumba untuk mengerjakan ibadah walaupun didalam keadaan berpuasa. Iftar dimesjid Nabi adalah satu pengalaman yang baru kerana terdapat ramai dermawan yang menyediakan makanan berbuka puasa, dan mereka berebut rebut menarik jemaah untuk beriftar bersama mereka. Makanan Iftar di mesjid adalah sangat sederhana iaitu tamar, roti, yogurt dan air zam zam.
Walaupun cuaca panas terik yang mencapai sehingga 50 darjah celcius, dan hawa bahang saperti tinggal didalam sauna, ibadah berpuasa tidaklah terasa berat saperti yang dianggap ramai. Yang penting, kita kena sentiasa berteduh dan tidak terlalu lama berada dibawah sinar matahari. Air pula perlu diminum banyak ketika iftar dan sahur.
Insyaallah, kalau berpeluang, saya akan menulis lagi pengalaman berumrah dibulan Ramadan al Karim.

Briani Gam Batu Pahat






Maaf terlebih dahulu kerana menguji anda semua didalam bulan Ramadhan dengan gambar briani gam Batu Pahat. Kalau di Batu Pahat, biasanya Briani Power yang bersebelahan Hospital Besar adalah lebih terkenal.

Ramai yang tidak mengenali Shah Briani Gam tetapi ia tidak kurang hebatnya (mungkin lebih lazat lagi). Kepada mereka yang akan balik kampong ke Johor melalui Jalan Muar-Batu Pahat, jangan lupa singgah di gerai Shah Briani Gam, sebelah kiri jalan 100m sebelum menyeberangi jambatan Batu Pahat.

Cuba jangan tak cuba. Harga pun berpatutan.

More pictures selepas saya pulang dari Umrah nanti.


Found an album of more Smsj photos from Kampong recently, so I'll update the photos in this blog after Raya insyaallah, kalau umur panjang.

Maaf Zahir dan Bathin kepada semua pengunjung Blog ini, sehingga kita bertemu lagi di Blogosphere, insyaallah.

Names missing. Second from right Murtaza Musa

Most of us were from kampong schools around Muar, 'bundled' up and forced to study form one 'special class' at High School Muar. In form one and form two we were in the 'All-Malay' class but in form three we joined up with clever chinese boys to compete with them. Murtaza Musa, Tahir Othman, Syed Salleh, Iqbal Husain and myself were then together in SMSJ after LCE.

Welcome Iqbal Husain, Regina University Canada

Gambar terkini pembesaran Masjidil Haram


Tower Crane berselirat bersebelahan safa-marwa. Saya difahamkan Tempat Sai akan diperbesarkan kepada 6 tingkat.

Kawasan didalam linkungan merah akan diruntuhkan untuk pembinaan hotel hotel saperti di Madinah.

Ilustrasi tower dikeliling Hilton Hotel apabila siap kelak.


Bangunan yang hampir siap.

Some great answers!

Man: Haven't I seen you someplace before?
Woman: Yes, that's why I don't go there anymore.

Man: Is this seat empty?
Woman: Yes, and this one will be if you sit down.

Man: Your place or mine?
Woman: Both. You go to yours, and I'll go to mine.

Man: So, what do you do for a living?
Woman: I'm a female impersonator.

Man: Hey baby, what's your sign?
Woman: Do not enter.

Man: How do you like your eggs in the morning?
Woman: Unfertilized

Man: Your body is like a temple.
Woman: Sorry, there are no services today.

Man: I would go to the end of the world for you.
Woman: But would you stay there?

Man: If I could see you naked, I'd die happy.
Woman: If I saw you naked, I'd probably die laughing.

Gambar diambil dihadapan rumah ketua warden membelakangkan hostel. Apa kona jang si Azman dan Tahir pegang bunga tu. Hehe.
