Updatin' my weekend in the midst of exams in sumthang that has not crossed my mind till of today. Yea, even if I replied tags and what's not, the urge of not updatin' still lingers within. May be because I was pretty worn out from Saturday and Sunday event. In the Holy Month of Ramadan, I vowed to do my terawih in Assyakirin and Masjid Sultan. I guessed, HE listened to my prayers and he answered it on Saturday. I did my Terawih over in Masjid Sultan. However, HE gave me more then just the ability to do my Terawih. He gave me the oppotunity to do my Qiyamulai and Tahajus in the early mornin'. I could never feel so blessful. I really am blessful. Alhamdulilah.
Even if none of my fren could make it for Qiyamulai over in Masjid Sultan, I picked up the courage to go there alone. I made my way in with smiles across my face and warmth welcome from the Youth. My golden opportunity was to do my Terawih and Qiyamulai. Never in my life did I once went through the Qiyam. I could never miss it for the world !The Youth organisation, called Saturday, The Night of Power. Why so ? Lailatul Qadar could happened in anytime durin' the last ten days of fastin'. Hence, the Youth has organise The Night of Power in conjuction of Lailatul Qadar.
The activies for that day were,
1) Breakin' our fast together as a Youth
2)Briefin' from Assyakirin President for the Youth
3)Magrib, Ishyak and Terawih as a Youth
4) Night Treasure Hunt
- We were given tasked to find
a) Masjid Malabar
b) Masjid Sultan
c)Jalan Besar Stadium
d)Aljunined Religious School
e)Alsagof Religious school
f)Masjid Hajjah Fatimah
g) Itu Ini
h)Ustaz Kubur
i) Masjid AlGafoor
We were supposed to find the history of the places and took a picture of the location to prove that we were there. And draw logos of the Mosque
5)Sleep and wake up at 4.30 to Perform Solat Tahajud.
6) Sahur , Solat Subuh and Tahajus.
7) Presentation of Lailatul Qadar and Home sweet home.
Those were activities that I went through. I found myself not been so bored nor sleepy. I was fresh and alert throughout the whole two days. I've made frens and I've learn how to perform my Solat Tahajud pretty well. Couple of my new frens taught me the doa and method on how to do different kind of solat. I shared my knowledge, and they shared their's. When I performed my Solat alongside with 'em, I felt at much ease. Hence, I vowed, this will be my new fresh start.
Through Treasure huntin', I've learnt alot more then I expected. Different history and different people that have built that mosque here in Sinagpore. Some was opened by our first President, Mr Yusof Ishak. Some was then renovated or taken care of by our neighbourin' Sultans. Even if the 8 of the youth in group 3 was runnin' around searchin' high and low for the located location ( We were given an hour and we were suppose to be walkin' mind you ! ) in the middle of the night, I gained lots of knowledge. Be it from the history of the mosque and performin' my Solat.
Comin' from a non-Religious school, I was outcasted needless to say. However, my group and my small number of gals for that night made me feel like home. We did almost everythang together. From the first moments of breakin' fast to our small little space for us to grabbed couple of hours rest before Qiyam. From Shikin to Atikah to Rilla ( She finally came after Terawih ! ) , these gals have been my supporters for this fruitful journey. Even if our contact was just for two days. They've left their personal touch in my heart. In one way or another. All of us gals could never felt nearer to HIM other then this night.
This is again, a new fresh start for me.
I know, the journey is never easy. I am ready to walk through the journey with families and frens on sides. Just like Liverpool said it, '' You will never walk alone.''
I shall not brag too much now. Cause the business is between me and HIM. And to HIM only I shall answer and to HIM only will I prove how true I am in makin' a 360* change in myself. Insyah allah.
Let make the best out of the days left.
Tak terkata , bertanpa syukur dan syahdunyer malam tu. Betapa besarnya KuasaMu untuk kabulkan doa-doaku.Syukur Alhamduliah...
... cause this is one of my life mission
