kambing montel!
21 Zulhijjah 1428H

bismillah
allahumma solli ‘ala sayyidina Muhammad wa ‘ala alihi wa sohbihi..

Alhamdulillah, my first ‘Eidul Adha in Syam went very well. We watched the qurban taking place –no, not at the jami’- but at the suuq (market)! Wherever there’s a meat shop, there are sheeps to be found nearby. Kambing2 dia montel2. hee~

Alhamdulillah, again, for giving my friends and me the chance to visit maqam Nabi Ayyub ‘alaihis salam n his son, maqam Imam Nawawi, maqam Sa’ad bin ‘Ubadah, one of the great companions of the Prophet ‘alaihi solatu wassalam, n maqam Abu Yazid Al-Busthani, one of the great Sufi masters, radhiyallahu ‘anhum ajma’in. We went to Nawa n Busra by bus last Saturday, a journey of abt 2 hours from Dimasyq. Busra, the very city that Rasulullah passed by with his uncle Abu Talib, where the rahib Buhaira met him and told Abu Talib about the prophetic signs he noticed in Rasulullah… the place was awesome!!! MaasyaAllah, cantik nah sgt tak puas nak pandang. It was sunset when we arrived at the place… n my friends n me were speechless by its beauty. Ustaz kat kuliyyah kata, kalau nampak benda yg cantik, cakap: “Bismillahi maasyaAllah, wa laa haula wa laa quwwata illa billah”. :)

Oh yes, another experience not to be forgotten was when Hafizah n me rode a horse carriage! Ala, mcm princess-princess dulu… hehe. laju! Best! Thrilling! All that for less than S$0.60. hoho… (tapi bau najis dia tak best. huu~)

Before I end, I would like to share something that we learnt during a Fiqh lesson (conducted by an Indonesian Ustaz on every Saturday):

The companions of the Prophet regard things that are sunnah as things that Rasulullah performed and thus they always try to practice and follow them as much as possible. but what about us? Most of us these days see things that are sunnah as supplementary and thus are not compulsory. “ala. Sunnat je pe. Bukannye wajib. Kalau tak buat pun takpe, tak dosa…”

Renungkan dan fikir-fikirkanlah..

:)
