The Diary Game - Friday Activities Full of Blessings and Grace
Hello, good afternoon and happy greetings to all my Steemian friends. How are you today? I hope you are all in good health and always under the protection of Allah SWT, so that you can carry out all your activities well. Alhamdulillah, I am back to share my activities on this happy day.
Alhamdulillah, always grateful that Allah SWT has allowed His servants to reunite with this blessed and merciful Friday. Friday is one of the most special days for Muslims. Friday is also called "Sayyidul Ayyam," or the leader of all days. Friday is full of blessings and virtues, especially good deeds such as congregational Friday prayers, reading Surah Al-Kahf, increasing charity, dhikr, istighfar, and salawat. All these deeds, where rewards are multiplied and prayers are more easily answered, make it a special moment to draw closer to Allah SWT.
As dawn approached, the sound of the call to prayer, signaling the arrival of dawn, roused me from my sleep. The call to prayer is a call for Muslims to immediately perform the obligatory prayer (fardhu). This obligation serves as an expression of gratitude for the health and opportunity that Allah still grants each of His servants. Not wanting to be late for one of the main obligations, the congregational dawn prayer, I immediately got out of bed. After performing ablution, I drank a glass of water, which has become a routine every morning. It's a simple habit, but it has many health benefits.
Besides rehydrating the body after a night of not drinking water, morning water can also help flush toxins and boost metabolism. It also improves digestion and bowel movements, supports healthy skin, and can increase focus and energy. The habit of drinking water upon waking also helps the body function optimally and prepares it for the day's activities. Before leaving the house for the mosque, I first performed the sunnah prayer (sunnah) of dawn, which carries immense rewards.
When I heard the iqamah call, signaling the start of congregational prayer, I left the house in the cold weather and headed to the Babul Huda Mosque to perform the morning prayer in congregation. Afterward, I briefly engaged in prayer with the other worshippers. Then, as usual, I used the time before returning home to do some light exercise, a few minutes' walk around the residential complex. Around seven o'clock, after breakfast, I left my beloved yard and headed to my assigned school.
However, before arriving at the office, as usual, I stopped briefly at my favorite coffee shop, Lom Kupi, for a cup of black coffee. Having the additional task of coordinating the shift every Friday meant I had to get to school promptly. Moreover, every Friday before class, there was a routine group recitation of verses from the Quran in the schoolyard. After ringing the bell, I headed to the field to direct the students to assemble. At the end of the school day, I left the beloved schoolyard. On my way home, I picked up Raffa from the daycare and went straight home. Upon arrival, I immediately prepared myself for Friday prayers and rested until evening.
That's my series of activities today and thank you always for the support of all my Steemit friends wherever they are.
