Quality time with you guys

Salam boys,
Had a great day just the 3 of us yesterday. Asian civilization museum followed by lunch at Hajah Maimunah and an unexpected but awesome free trial lesson at the Tuffanah madrasah at Guthrie building near Joo Chiat.
One star: glad that both of you enjoyed the learning journey and for me to be able to spend quality time with you boys! Really hope that there will be a place for weekend madrasah classes for the both of you, Insya'allah! Let's go down again this Saturday to find out.
One wish: I need to put in a fixed budget and no-taxi travel restriction the next time we hang out. And need to practice more patience when dealing with you Zaki. I realize that most times, you do the things you do just simply coz you want my attention. I will make a mental note to my self to check my anger response to you. I love you so much!

Goodbye to a fellow friend.

Salam boys, Change is the only constant on life. I am having Iftar with Ms Faridah, my school TA, who is leaving the school for greener pastures to better provide for her family. May Allah bless her with bountiful rezeki and good health. Insha'allah!

The last lap

I was on my way to marking PSLE scripts @ Toa Payoh. in a crowded mrt train but chillin' with hari raya tunes on my ipod. sepasang kurung biru...such sweet melancholy...thankfully my malay is still good enough to really appreciate the words. sighh... feels good. though eid celebrations have become low key for the past few years, i've stepped it up a notch a bit this year by hanging twinkling lights! energy-effecient LEDs, for the record. : ) wait..there's an unfamiliar raya song being played. Anyways, probably with my sons Hari raya might take on a different meaning in years to come. For me the takbir-my memories of my grandparents it rekindles & the old school, evergreen Raya songs will always be my version of a sweet & tranquil Eid celebrations. one more shout-out to my beloved pupils- all the best for your year-end exams. Your best is yet to come. Insha'allah!

Kuliah Subuh

Bismillah and Salam boys, Just finished Fajr prayers at Assyafaah mosque and am now listening to the mini-sermon, if I can call it that. These are the excerpts. Reciting al-Fatiha not accurately not following right tajweed makes solat invalid, imam nawawi. (Lahan: 2 types a) bad grammar b) change in meaning As long as meaning not changed-solat is valid. Eg: (1) Na an am tah - changed to Na an am ti(etc) (2) rab bil al lamin - rab bal al lamin : no change in meaning just like poor arabic grammar (3) wa lad dhooooor liiiiiin - wa lad zoooor liiiiin : mostly Pakistanis and Indian Muslims from India mispronounce this - solat not valid as meaning is changed (4) if one cannot recite al-Fatiha especially a mualaf, just recite one of the 7 ayats of al-Fatiha - dzikir. One can even simply stand for the right duration for the recitation of al-Fatiha when solat and follow the sequential movements (5) al-Fatiha cannot be recited in any other languages except for in Arabic (6) jemaah praye...
