THE FIRST IFTAR OUTSIDE FOR THIS YEAR 1447H

   27TH FEBRUARY 2026    ~ It was time for the annual Iftar [breaking fast] with Mr. Syazwan Shavarein and his family for this year. I have been invited every year since he was still in school [i.e. SMK Taman Universiti] many years ago. The venue this time was Impiana Hotel in Senai.

I was among the first to be in the dining hall as I wanted to avoid the traffic jam during after work rush hour. I saw someone familiar who was there much earlier, Miss Norzilah, another ex-student of the same school. She was with her company Iftar event.

As usual, too much food, too many choices and too little time, and limited space in the tummy for extra consumption. I had to excuse myself earlier as I wanted to go to the nearest mosque for the Terawikh prayers.

Thanks again to Mr. Syazwan and his family for another Iftar gathering. Only Allah may repay their kind and generous deed in the month of Ramadhan.
