Tour of My Existence

Is this gonna work?

Now, we are coming towards the end of holy month of Ramadhan. Then, we’ll celebrate Raya, the peak of fasting month, in accordance to the successful of patiently facing the month of Ramadhan. Soon after that, we'll proceed with our life routine, work and having fun with no boundaries. The world will once again face the reality of human nature, our nature of living with no law and restrictions; bound to no one. I guess I’ll have to wait for another year for Ramadhan to come, to be able to see the true calmness flow-of-the-world with no worries. I wonder if I still have the time to do it next year. Insya' Allah.


This year, it is kind of special to me, because I haven’t had fast break with my family for 5 years, since my first year in college, in not-so-rural-area, Skudai, Johor. And the last time I had my Raya Celebration was three years ago, that was only because my father mistakenly had booked a flight ticket for me.

Fasting and celebrating Raya at home and college is a big difference, because;

Fasting month is almost over. We are now one week away for Hari Raya Celebration. Can't wait since my last Raya with my family was three years ago. So, I kinda excited and looking forward to this upcoming Raya.

By the way, how was your fasting month so far? I'm sure it’s been great, with all that Bazaar Ramadhan, Solat Tarawih and also because of the excitement towards preparation on Raya. Whatever it is, I just want to ask this simple question. I know its kinda late and irrelevant at this point of time to ask this but do you know the RIGHT and CORRECT way on how to fast? Are you sure that you got the pahala for your efforts in fasting, the third pillars of Islam, which is fasting on the month of Ramadhan?

Fasting as you all know, in simple words, it’s about to hinder yourself eating and drinking from dawn till dusk with intentions (niat). However in detail, "to a Muslim, Ramadhan fasting is not just refraining from eating and drinking but carries the added significance of worship, psychological comfort, morality and legislation. It is neither the irrational motionless 'Imsak' of pre-Islamic Arabs nor the mere abstaining from eating and drinking, but is, in fact, the building of one's character, control over desires, and an inspiration towards social and scientific creativity"(taken from here). To elaborate, fasting is not as simple as it seems, it's much more than we could imagine;

This is the basic idea of fasting. The idea is to let you learn the hardships faced by poor, mishap or unlucky people, where they can't eat as they pleased.

Which one is the correct answer???

It was a lovely afternoon, when suddenly a guy from Bumiputera Entrepreneur Development Unit (UPUB) came to our office and asked whether some of our Muslims CBGs would like to go for  a video recording session at Islamic Information Centre(IIC). At first, I thought it was just a voice recording session but after I signed the participation forms(its just a plain white paper actually), I was soon to find out that its a video recording session. So, I guess I just have to deal with it since I had no other plans to do.

Assalamualaikum(peace upon you),

This is just the beginning.

Hope everything is doing great wherever you are. and yeah, Happy Fasting Month to all Muslim. Hope everything is going according to plan until syawal arrives...:) Talking about plan, believe it or not, I did not plan to have this blog. When I was reading some of my friends' blogs last nite, something occurred inside me saying, "Why don't I start a blog? Maybe I could use this as a platform to learn something new. " After all, life is a journey and throughout the journey, we have to learn in order to create a better path of life in the future.

Actually, I used to write blogs years ago, when I was studying in university. After a while, I stopped. Maybe because there is not much time to write blog or perhaps the internet speed connection at the time was too slow. Now, I'm back with a new blog and a new objective even though at this moment, I'm still not sure what is the objective of this blog. Well, that is what I'm going to find out. Hopefully, this Tour of My Existence(TOME) will be able to find out the reasons why I'm here and create a path for my future.
