On Friday Prayer

Picture is courtesy of penacindaipelangi.blogspot.com


I was at Masjid Pakistan, in Chow Kit area, KL, one Friday umpteen years ago.. there was an Ustaz who gave tazkirah in Urdu and a man translating all that was said to Bahasa Malaysia and I still remembered clearly the story that was being translated.

Moses (pbuh), in his tour to propagate Allah's religion, came to a group of people praying, remembering Allah and reading Torah etceteras.

He asked someone in the group “who are you ?”

“Oh..we are people of Moses” came the reply.

“How long have you all been here doing these good deeds in this place”

“We have been here for about seventy years”

Moses was very pleased to know those people has been following his teaching and has been performing good deeds for seventy years.

Then Allah (In His mercy) sent down an angel to tell Moses that there will be an Ummah, they will perform one deed and will be rewarded equivalent to what his people performed in seventy years.

Moses asked the angle who is the Ummah and what is the deed that is so amply rewarded.

On hearing that the Ummah is people (follower)of Muhammad and that one deed is Friday Prayer.. Moses asks the Angle to seek Allah’s permission to allow him to be a follower of Muhammad for 2 Fridays (8 days ?!).

The Angle came back and informed Moses that his wish/request was not granted as he was supposed to lead a group of people himself and Moses will be the first among his people to enter the Paradise…

Allah knows best (Wallahua'lam).


I relate this story to a friend who seldom go for Friday prayer.

His immediate respond was“Oh good !.. Now all I have to do .. is to go to Friday prayer twice.. then I will be receiving a reward equivalent to 140 years …”

The Trengganu phrase “Doh nok wat guane? (what can I/we do ?) ” immediately came to my mind then.


Have a good day.

IdilFitri Tahun ini

Ayoh Wang's family

Me and my family have a busy Eid day with Solat Eid in Sungai Udang Mosque and have family breakfast in Kuala Dungun.

Breakfast anyone?

10 a.m. saw us in Seberang Baroh visiting my mum, my sister and her big clan. It was followed by the normal Eid's visit to uncles, aunties and even cousins. By 4 p.m.we were rushing back to Dungun to visit Mok Wang's relatives.

Just like last year's Hari Raya festival, we have an open air family lunch at my late MIL house in Sungai Udang, Kuala Dungun on the second raya day(you can read it here).

Now where is that Rendang Tok?

Anyone for syrup Bandung?


Enjoying the family lunch

I guessed the memory shared with my late MIL, somehow dampened the normally joyous mood.

All the same, Ayoh Wang and family would like to wish joyous hari Raya to my blog's kind readers.
