A little sharing - sutrah

The Prophet (peace be upon him) says: 
"If a person who passes in front of a praying person could realise the gravity of the sin, it would have been better for him to wait for forty rather than pass in front of the praying person. 
The narrator was not sure whether the Prophet (peace be upon him) said forty days or forty months or forty years" 

(Reported by Imam Bukhari)

Advice: Before commencing your prayer, put a 'sutra' (object) in front of you which acts as a boundary between you and passersby.

Wallahualam~

Kuala Kangsar.

Yesterday, I was bored. My roomate was out, and so were many of my other housemates. Everyone was homesick so they went home. 
Lucky them.


Fortunately, Aida invited me to go to Kuala Kangsar. Around 45min-1hr drive from UTP. Knowing me, I was excited. A new place to visit!


Thus, at around 10am, after Dan picked us up at V5 and Efa at V4, off we went! It felt like it has been such a long time since I enjoyed myself. Of course, it was not possible since every single day was packed with classes, assignments, quizzes and not to forget, events. But, I don't whine. This is what students have to go through right =)


The first place we visited was near Sungai Kangsar. I don't know what it's called but the place was like a pasar malam, except that it was all under one huge dome. Since we had not had our lunch, nor breakfast, we stopped by one of the food arena. I had 'pasembo' (rojak) as well as cendol! Though the serving was small, it was nice to be eating something that was not university food. Teringat Abah~

Later, we walked around randomly and after less than 1/2 an hour of walking, and after buying 2 fried wantans and sosej (tamak punye budak!) , the four of us sat in the hut near the river. The day was very VERY sunny and hot. By this time, yours truly were already 10 shades darker. Is that even possible? tsk.


After barbequing ourselves, we went to perform our Zuhur prayer at the Ubudiah mosque. Actually, throughout the whole day, we kept going back to the Masjid for prayers since the 'royal city' was quite small. The masjid was beautiful, MashaAllah and it reminded me of the story of Aladdin.

Oh, here's the best part. After so many detours...we finally arrived at Ulu Kenas recreational park! And~~we got to mandi sungai! It has been ages since I last saw a stream, let alone enter it. The funny thing is, it was an impromptu situation. Thank Allah both me and Aida brought along spare clothes. Dan and Efa on the other hand did not. While Dan went to buy some clothes for himself, us girls went in, with jeans, shirt and all into the water. Apa punya anak-anak dara ni~~ tsk.tsk 

the very COLD stream

Us Girls <3

After a few hours of dipping our feet in the water, falling so many times (okay, that's just me, unfortunately~) we went back to our first destination. To do what? To makan2 of course! We had sotong tepung, telur bungkus, ikan siakap tiga rasa, sayur kailan ikan masin and not to forget tomyam! No wonder I was so bloated and cannot breathe properly afterwards. Oh, no pictures for this since we were busy munching our way through the food. 


I thought we would be back around evening but we actually arrived back to UTP around 9pm~ 
All in all, it was an awesome one day getaway from studies and assignments.
