The Diary Game - Making the Most of Your Holidays at Home
Hello, good afternoon and happy greetings to all Steemians, wherever you are. How are you today? I hope you are all in good health and always under the protection of Allah SWT, allowing you to carry out all your activities well. Alhamdulillah, I am back to share various activities on this happy day.
As usual, Thursday morning, a special day for Muslims, I woke up to the sound of the call to prayer from the loudspeaker of the Babul Huda Panggoi Mosque. It was a call for sane Muslims to immediately wake up and perform the obligatory morning prayer in congregation. The Prophet Muhammad's (peace be upon him) recommendation to pray the morning prayer in congregation is very powerful, promising protection from Allah SWT, protection from hell, a reward equivalent to the Hajj or Umrah (if followed by remembrance of Allah), and the presence of angels, with a reward up to twenty-seven times greater than praying alone at home.
This emphasizes its virtue, given the difficulty and hardship it presents for many. Shortly after performing ablution, I performed the two-rak'ah sunnah prayer at home. This pre-dawn prayer has its own special significance. Moments later, when I heard the iqamah (call to prayer) signaling the start of the congregational dawn prayer, I hurried out of the house and headed for the mosque. It wasn't long before I arrived at the mosque courtyard and joined the other dawn worshippers. After dawn, I took a moment to meditate and recite dhikr. A few moments later, I left the mosque courtyard for a light walk along the national road surrounding my residential complex.
Thank God, this sunny Thursday is a national holiday, so I didn't have to go to work. I was able to accompany Raffa to play to his heart's content at home. I briefly left the house to one of my favorite coffee shops in the Meunasah Mosque area of Cunda. I enjoyed a cup of black coffee while relaxing. I updated myself online with the latest news happening around the world. The ease of accessing information means we must be smart in selecting and sorting each piece of news wisely. Not all information comes from reliable sources, and therefore may not be factual. It's possible the news we received was untrue and just a hoax. After heading home, I just did my activities around the house while playing with dek Raffa.
That concludes my activities on this happy day, and thank you for the continued support of all my Steemit friends everywhere.
Regards,
