The holidays are here again. One month of bliss. One month of non-chauffering duties. I welcome thee with open arms. No more early scream wars with the girls. I could not ask for more. Shall catch up on sleep. ZZzzzzzzz
We welcome the month of Rejab of the Islamic Calendar today. I am proud to be fasting. They say Rejab is one of the 4 sacred months. The other 3 are Zulkaedah,Zulhijjah and Muharram. Fighting and committing sins are most forbidden during this period.
I quote from a source..
Riwayat Al-Thabrani dari Said Bin Rasyid : “Barangsiapa berpuasa sehari di bulan Rejab, maka ia laksana berpuasa setahun, bila puasa 7 hari maka ditutuplah untuknya pintu pintu nereka jahanam, bila puasa 8 hari dibukakan untuknya 8 pintu syurga, bila puasa 10 hari. ALLAH akan mengabulkan semua permintaannya.” Barangsiapa mengingatkan orang lain tentang ini seakan ibadah 80 tahun .InsyaAllah
In brief, whoever fasts for a day it’s like fasting for a year. And if he fasts for 7 days the gates of hell would be closed for him. And if he fasts for 8 days the 8 gates of heaven would be opened for him. And if he fasts for 10 days, ALLAH would grant anything that he wished for. And if he reminds another of this, it’s like granting him 80 years of worship to ALLAH.
Thus my fellow sisters and brothers, let us all welcome this month of Rejab with open arms. InsyaAllah we will be rewarded.
The smell of minyak telon (malay traditional baby oil) fills the air welcoming a new addition to the Muhammad Noor household. My nephew Luq Maquil Muhammad Erwin was born on the 11th of May after a nearly 48 hour battle. It was well worth the wait as he is the most cutest and sweetest baby I’ve seen by far (other than my own kids) that is. Weighing at 2.8kg, he has brought much joy till this day to his first time parents.
Congratulations Huda and Erwin once again for bringing a much blessed lil one to this world.
It definately lives up to its name and the designer behind it. The famous Victoria Beckham.
