This was a last minute decision I made as I had to finish 60 report books by this Saturday. (1/3 done!)
I messaged the fam saying how nervous it was to iftar alone in a mosque. Abah replied, telling me not to be mama drama sangat. :’)
So I went there and the awesome coordinator helped to print the comments for me to paste in the books. Efficient sangat~
Well I had to cut the comments as it was printed on an A4 paper. But thank God for the paper cutter!
Planned to leave the office at 6.45pm to join iftar. Then, the rest of the staff invited me along. Little did I know…terus jadi official volunteer for the day, bagi2 makan all. Was even invited to sit with the other staffs at the staff corner. So meriah~ They did pot luck and were very friendly which made me feel at home. A P6 girl befriended me who I initially thought was an olevel candidate because she sounded so matured! MashaAllah.
Allah gave me a reminder as I was faced with 2 kinds of makciks with opposite characters. I was already dreading how a certain makcik (A) was handling the situation. But He sent Makcik (B) who gave me hope and made me whisper inside, “Ya Allah, I want to grow old as gracefully as her.” ❤
Anyway to cut the story short, it was only natural to feel nervous as it was my first iftar in a mosque for 2019, alone. But as I immersed myself in the vibes of eating, praying and helping in jamaah, it felt like home.
Alhamdulillah for ukhuwwah islamiyyah ❤
p.s: while calling people up today, I received a call. This time, I went outside. Yelah, mana tahu nak negotiate lagi haha. Rupanya a call from an NGO informing me of an interview for a job I applied. Syukuuuur. I will do my best and leave the decision to Allah. Nak yang terbaik in both worlds! Aameen.
Adduaa biddua friends ❤
Ayat of The Day:
First encounter which made me fell in love with the ayat was in 2010 where we had to read the verse as it was in our textbook. Ustaz (Baba) Salaam read it so well and explained it so earnestly that it struck me. May Allah bless him. And may this verse be a constant reminder for the self.
