RAMADHAN IS THE MONTH OF GIVING - PART 2


The courier man came knocking on my door yesterday afternoon, delivering the Eid parcel. It was from a dear friend of UPM TESL Class of 1993, Puan Zarinamahnum Hj. Alias, who regularly provides me with Eid cookies every year.




I have to thank Puan Zarinamahnum for the Eid gift. May Allah repay her kindness in many folds in this holy month of Ramadhan.

RAMADHAN IS THE MONTH OF GIVING



My Ramadhan gift for this year arrived today. Thanks to Dr. Fauziah Abd. Rahim, a friend of the UPM TESL Class of 1993, for the Eid cookies. Even though she is residing up north in Jitra, Kedah, it is not impossible to get anything delivered to the down south part of the country.

May Allah repay your kindness in many folds in this holy month of Ramadhan.

A SHORT STOP AT MASJID RAYA AL-JABBAR IN BANDUNG


   24th FEBRUARY 2025    ~ We were on our way to the train station in Bandung to get back to Jakarta. We decided to make a short stop at Masjid Raya Al-Jabbar [the Grand Mosque] as it was near the train station.



It was a majestic structure with modern and distinct architecture . Beautiful, and simply mind-blowing.






























We did not get into the building. We had a train to catch and this mosque was not in the itinerary list. [This was a free and easy kind of holiday, and there was no fixed itinerary list by the way]. Now I have another reason to go back to Bandung one more time.
