e 1St leTter.....

Dear GoodOldLovedBuddy,
I’m writing to u from a foreign land…
a land where many prophets of the past lived,came,sat and prayed to Allah…
a land where it is said the first murder in the history of mankind occurred.
a land where Prophet Ibrahim is said to have prayed.
a land where Our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) traveled to for business.
a land where many Sahabis came to,died + were buried.
a land which became the centre of Islamic civilization during the Omayyad period.
a land which was said by the Prophet(s.a.w) to be ‘Ardh Barakah’,together with Yemen.
So,Have u guessed where I am yet???
That’s right,!!!
I’m now in Damascus,Syria…..a.k.a Bumi Syam Al-Mubarakah.

My address??
منطقة الصالحية الشرقية, الشارع التغالبية, بناء عربي, طابق أرضي, دمشق, سوريا
((panjang,kan???))
Here,the addresses of the houses are actually descriptions of where the houses are situated…for example,if a person’s house is directly opposite a mosque,the address will say,’muqaabil(opposite) mosque so & so..’…style,kan??
Oh,ya,forgot to tell u-do not..i repeat DO NOT send me anything thru this add,as it will never ever ever reach me…=>

Anyway,my house is a bina’ ‘arabi(as the add says..:).
As the name suggests,it’s a house built arab style….
It houses 10 people-9 S’porean girls & 1 Yugoslavian…
It’s @ the foot of Jabal Qasyun…(look it up on the internet if u have the time,k…)
Its big,not lavishly decorated @ all,but comfortably sederhana.…
Most importantly,it has a roof,food,drinks,a toilet,clothes,Quran---all I need to live…hehe….alhamdulillaah….I LIKE my HOUSE hErE!!!!

Ok,dear GoodOld LovedBuddy…
will report to u more from this strange barakah land soon ,biiznillaah…
Lots more I wanna say…
But gotta go…
As me beloved Mum & Dad said:
“it’s now Ramdhan…Do not waste ur precious time on the Internet!!”
hehe…pikir2,btol jugak…24hours X 30 days= 720hours
I only have that number of hours in Ramadhan 1428Hijrah!!!(klu ramadhan 29days,lagi sikit---720hours – 24hours = 696hours!!!
Jangan suke waste2 time,mardhiyah!!!!Sendiri yang RUGI nanti!!!!!
Oops!!!Pardon me,dear,for my self-talking!!hahahakz…

Btw,since the start of ramadhan is determined by ru’ya(moon sighting) here, we had to wait for a gun shot to know if it was ramadhan yet.…style,kan???
So,on the night of 29th sya’baan,we waited and waited(til one of my friends jadi nervous-nervous..hehe…u noe who u are!!)
However,the shot didn’t come,so we completed 30days in sya’ban…
We were so happy when we heard gun shots aft ‘asar on 30th Sya’ban…
DapAt jugak jumpe Ramadan…alhamdu wasy-syukru kulluhuu lillaah!!!!

RAMADHAN MUBARAK!!!!
KULLU ‘AAM WA ANTUM BIKHAIR!!!!!=>
Moga setiap dari kita dapat menjalankan ‘ibadah puasa dengan sebaik mungkin..
اللهم أعنا علي الصلاة و الصوم و غض البصر و حفظ اللسان...امين!!!!!!!!!

Fii amaanillah,dear GoodOldLovedBuddy!!!

salam....
