First 'Eidul-Fitr at the Land Below the Wind

Alhamdulillah, muslims of the world once again completed the Ramadhan fasting for this year, congratulations to all the successful Muslims!! Hopefully we will be able to meet Ramadhan next year... Happy 'Eidul-Fitr to all, may we celebrate our success moderately and full of repentance and gratefulness towards Allah SWT.

This time my family and I celebrated hari raya in Sabah. We went to Solat 'Eidu-Fitr at Masjid Bandaraya. Masya Allah, a lot of people, some of them came on foot, buses, cars, pick-ups, lorries even trailer..amazing yeaah; the spirit to perform sunat 'Eidul-Fitr made them came as early as 6.00 in the morning. We arrived there at about 10 minutes before 7.00 and the masjid was already full. The solat (and khutbah) started at 7.45a.m. and ended at about 9.00a.m.

After solat, we went straight home and visited our neighbours and vice versa.There are only 3 Muslim families living near my home. In the afternoon we went to Datu Royniesham's house at Kuala Menggatal, unfortunately I forgot to bring the camera...

However, wherever we spend 'Eidul-Fitr we still happy to be together but undoubtedly, we always remember our family, relatives and friends back home...and not to forget, our friends in Perth and Oman (Hawari's family)...Selamat Hari Raya semua, maaf zahir dan batin...."kullu `aam wa antum bilkhair".



The neighbours..
