Hari Raya at
Tronoh |
|
|
|
|
|
My father passed away on 5th July,
1999 and was buried at Kampung Kurnia in Tronoh, Perak. That was
the last time that I visited the place until
this year when I decided to go there to visit my brothers,
sisters and relatives living there. We left Kota Damansara at 9.30
am on Sunday, 14th October 2007, which was the second day of Hari
Raya Puasa. I brought along four of my nine children
- Johan, Amin, Anita and Anuar. The other five children
of mine could not be with me this year due to the following
reasons: - |
|
|
|
|
|
(1) Zorzini and Zorlinda - they decided to
celebrate the Hari Raya outstation this year. |
|
|
(2) Josef is studying medicine in Moscow, Russia |
|
|
(3) Sureen Nita is studying Electrical Engieering in New
York, USA |
|
|
(4) Jowin decided to go back to Masai in Johor to study for his exams, which are
due after the Hari Raya. He said he couldn't concentrate on his preparation
for the exams whilst celebrating Hari Raya at
the same time. |

I was
glad that
I could see all my relatives there, except for younger sister
Laila and her family. I was informed that her husband
had a serious case of diabetes and couldn't drive to Tronoh
this year. |
|
|
A picture paints a thousand words. So, I'm not going
to write much here except to paste some of the photos that I
had taken that day to show you. |

It was a day trip to Tronoh and we left
Kampung Kurnia at about 4.00 pm. It was unfortunate that my
other five (5) children couldn't make it this time, but
we intend to make it at least an annual affair to visit them.
It is the duty of every good Muslim to "eratkan silaturrahim" amongst ourselves, especially with
our own flesh and blood. |
|
|
"...Dan bertaqwalah kepada Allah yang kamu selalu meminta
dengan menyebut-yebut namaNya, serta peliharalah
hubungan (silaturrahim) kaum kerabat; kerana
sesungguhnya Allah sentiasa memerhati (mengawas) kamu...."
(Surah An-Nisaa' Ayat 1) |

The following day we visited my elder brother,
Shariff and other relatives at Sg.Rengit in Johor. To read
