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.

Picture taken infront of old school building (now demolished), Parit Jamil Muar in 1967. List of names written at the back of the photo. Me and Saabana goes back a long time from Std. One 1965! (43 years), Halimah in Risda and still working in Muar, Jawahir a teacher, Yusof in USM (Phd), Rahman(classmate until Univ days) still in Kampong, Md Khir Maskan, a Contractor in Bangi. The rest I have lost contact.

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.

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.

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.
