In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful
Assalamualaikum
Title: Ketenangan, Peace.
At a solemn time like this, there is only one place that I'd like to be at, and that would be none other than the masjid. I don't know why but each time I enter the masjid, I feel calm instantly. I feel peace and I feel at ease. The masjid is kinda like surrounded with one kind of a calm atmosphere. And speaking of which, my favourite masjid would definitely be the one located at Yung An Road; Masjid Assyakirin. I fell in love with the mosque eversince I first laid my eyes on it. It's so beautiful and amazingly clean and when I first stepped into the mosque, I went whoa. You could even sleep in the toilet because it is just so clean! The building itself is about 4 storey high and the best part is that the mosque is painted in maroon; my favourite color! Masjid Assyakirin is like my second home to me. Many personal memories were made within the grounds of Masjid Assyakirin itself. I think I lost count to how many times I have sat down in the female musollah area, doing my doa', crying to Allah as I confide into Him about the problems I have.
Coming from the North, I reside in Woodlands and the only mosque that is the closest to my residence, would be Masjid An-Nur. I hardly go to Masjid An-Nur because it is so old and worn down already. I mean, I don't feel comfortable and khusyu' whenever I do my prayers there. I'm a clean freak and I am very particular whenever it comes the part about cleaniness. Alhamdulilah finally, Masjid An-Nur is undergoing a mega renovation and perhaps, after the whole renovation is complete, I could 'beribadah' at Masjid An-Nur everyday with no worries already!
Back to Masjid Assyakirin, thankfully, because of Pergas's SPI(Sijil Pengajian Islam) lessons that is conducted at the mosque twice weekly; I get to indulge in the luxury of the calmness found in the mosque for at least two times a week. And as I type this post, I keep on crying and crying and crying over my past sins and thinking about how childish, immature, and arrogant I had been all these while towards Allah, adds even more sorrow to my pain. I am feeling so down right now, I really do. Laa Tahzan ya Suhaidah. For indeed, Allah is with us.
Be strong Susu.
Do you have a favourite Masjid? Don't wait until you die, to be brought to the Masjid.
