Major Sin

the key point from Ustaz Syed Amru Almarzak’s message today that I want to emphasize is the importance of prayer... there was a moment when a servant of Allah SWT came to Prophet Musa AS, confessing that he had committed adultery and murder... overwhelmed with anger at the severity of these sins, Prophet Musa AS drove him away... then, Jibril descended and informed him that the gravest sin of all is deliberately abandoning one’s prayer... Allahu Akbar! no wonder prayer is the determinant of everything - its weight is truly immense... ya Allah, forgive our sins, ya Allah... all this time we have been careless and neglectful in our prayers... forgive us, ya Allah... ya Allah, strengthen our iman and make us among those who constantly safeguard our prayer, ya Allah...

Durian Batang Kali

at Ibrahim and KJu’s house, I went for a little drive to look for durian - and I finally found some... the seller offered us a wholesale price of RM80 for a whole pile, freshly picked from his orchard in Batang Kali...

Bowling Tournament 2019: URAC and Zakat Selangor

Lets Jawi

right now you’re trying to use Jawi writing... but you all shouldn’t rely on automatic translations... those translations can go completely off track - like they drift 100 meters away from the actual meaning! it’s not your fault; it’s just that Google is still confused about how to properly understand old Malay Jawi writing...
