The Diary Game - Friday, January 16, 2026: Holiday to Welcome Isra Mi'raj

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Hello Steemit friends, good afternoon, and best wishes for happiness and prosperity to all Steemians everywhere. May we all remain in good health and always under the protection of Allah SWT, enabling us to carry out our various activities well. Thank God, I'm back to share various activities on this auspicious day.

This blessed Friday is a national holiday as designated by the government. Therefore, on the sixth day of the Islamic calendar, there will be no activities in offices or schools. This national holiday was established to commemorate Isra Mi'raj, one of the historic events for Muslims throughout the world. Isra Mi'raj is a miraculous event in Islamic history in which the Prophet Muhammad SAW made a night journey from the Grand Mosque (Mekkah) to the Al-Aqsa Mosque (Jerusalem) – the Isra. Then, he ascended to the seventh heaven until Sidratul Muntaha (Mi'raj) overnight, receiving the command to pray five times a day directly from Allah SWT. This is a miracle and a reminder of His greatness.

The commemoration of Isra Mi'raj is an important momentum for Muslims to increase their faith, worship, and exemplary behavior. Because it was a holiday, this blessed morning I didn't go to school as usual. After performing the morning prayer in congregation at the Babul Huda Panggoi Mosque, after a short period of self-isolation, I immediately went home. When I got home, I made the most of the break by simply lying in bed with Raffa, who was still asleep. For the past few nights, my son had been sleeping quite late, often waking up late. Before I knew it, I fell back asleep and woke up just as the sun was already shining brightly.

A moment later, my son woke up too, and I got out of bed and went to the bathroom. After a simple breakfast, I accompanied Raffa to play around the house. Then, I left the house for a moment to do something. On my way home, I stopped at one of my favorite coffee shops in the Cunda area, Lom Kupi. I relaxed while enjoying a cup of black coffee or half a glass of coffee. I also used my time at Lom Kupi to post a game diary on one of the Steemit communities. It was almost noon, after paying my bill, when I left the coffee shop. I went straight home to prepare to go to the mosque.

When the clock showed 12 o'clock, I left the house to go to the mosque. I planned to perform Friday prayers at the Baiturrahman Mosque in Lhokseumawe. As soon as I arrived at the mosque courtyard, I performed ablution and entered the mosque to pray two rakaat of tahiyatul mesjid sunat. Dr. Tgk H Damanhur Abbas, Lc, MA, who acted as the preacher, discussed the journey of the Prophet Muhammad SAW during the Isra Mi'raj event. After returning from Friday prayers, I stopped for a moment at Hawalom Kupi, which was not far from the mosque. I returned to relax at the coffee shop which was quite busy with visitors. After that, I went home and accompanied Raffa to play until he fell asleep. That night, as usual, I just did various routine activities at home.

That concludes my activities on this happy day, and thank you for the continued support of all my Steemit friends everywhere.
