‘Syukur Alhamdullillah,’I’ve been blessed by Allah with a good family and quality life. And, I am proud of that.
At this age (66yrs old) what more can I say, except ‘syukur alhamdullillah’ for a good life granted by Allah the Almighty, and that my daily ‘doa’ (prayer) answered.
With all the 8 grandchildren hugging you, kissing your cheeks or fore head, or bowing low with their head down while shaking your hands and kissing them, is a moment of life fulfillment: self contentment, satisfaction, happiness and joy any granddad or a grandma would long for. In short it is an accomplishment, of one’s lifelong dream of a perfect family.
We all have diligently prayed to Allah for contentment and good essence of life: healthy and quality siblings, affectionate family circles and also a good and prosperous living…haven’t we?
Of course we all have.
The morning on the first day, July 2007: THE KENDURI KESYUKURAN event at my daughter’s Hazleen & hubby Nizam’s place aptly befitting a worthy cause. As usual I am always thrilled for such an occasion, for I always believe that KENDURI KESYUKURAN as a day of restitution; a renewal of esprit de core among family members and friends. A social event blended with a religious tidings as this, has always been a statement of good fate, as well a social and spiritual obligation for truthful Muslim.
The morning was cheerful. The ambience cordial. I could see my 8 grandchildren full of enthusiasm and good spirit. Some had moved into Hazleen’s house as of yesterday. This morning more cousins and friends are on the way. There are spread of good food for everyone on the table. Together we then read Yassin and later the Ustaz recites the doa. The spirit of worthiness, the feeling of being blessed prevails.
In such a gathering as this, I always behold my pride and self esteem. I cherish the presence of my entire loved one around me. More so when I found out on the very morning that my ‘besan’ Haji Rahmat & wife, with his siblings (plus menantus) and their grand children arrived for the occasion, on the wee hour of the morning all the way from Johore Bahru. My other 2 ‘besan’ Haji Ismett & wife and Haji Jamaluddin & wife are other early arrivals.
We acknowledged each other's present. We exchanged greetings. We joked, and teased at each other. We had a good laugh. That’s the way it was and that the way it should be. The aura aptly befitting a worthy family reunion.
The occasion was also blessed by the present of Dato’Nik Farid & Tok Puan Faridah; also members of “Keluarga 7” and their children & grandchildren.
It was a good turnout from Hazleen’s family members too. Her brother Mohd Nazli & wife, her sister Hazlina & husband, also their children, aunties, uncles and cousins from around Lembah Klang came in full force.
Kudos. A very good hand, to the organizer please!!??
My doa for Hazleen & Nizam.

Terima kasih kerana doa anda untuk kita semua.
