2 Most Common Surah!

Friends of Nazry

Recently I went for a break fast at one of my closes friends house in HCMC. After that, we had our solat Magrib berjamaah. My dear friend recited 2 very common surahs:-
1) Al-Alaq
2) An-Nas

After the solat, a memory strike me. It was a story by my ex-bank manager of UMBC. He is a very kind man, and whenever he got time.. he would perform solat berjamaah with his kids. But according to him, he only recites the two surah mentioned above.

So, one day... one of his kids asked him, "Father, why did you only recite only the 2 surahs?. Can you recite other surahs?"

This ex-bank manager boss of mine felt like he was hit by a lighthing. To be really honest, he never remembers any other surahs except the two. Luckily he got an idea

"Son, I only recite the 2 surah because it is simple and you also remembers that. If I recite other surahs like As-Sajadah or Al-Baqarah ... if I make mistake, then you will not be able to correct me. Right son?", answered my friend.

Well, kids says what they thinks. And they are sincere.

After that incident, my friend gets to memorize other surahs. Good for them!!

Selamat Berpuasa

Friends of Nazry

Today is the first day of puasa in Vietnam. Muslims in Malaysia already started to fast yesterday.

For some, they cant wait for Ramadhan to come ...
For some others, they dread going into Ramadhan ...

Put religions aside, fasting is good for health. It is supposed to detox your body, cleans the chemicals, give the stomach the proper rest, etc etc.

As for human side, fasting allows you to experience the hunger and the thirst... think about the Haitians who had earthequake, think about the Pakistani who had major flood, think about the Chinese who had also had flood - all of them hardly eat decent food and drink clean water. Secondly, fasting also makes you a mellow person. Mellow here means that you become more sensitive to others needs. But for me, this morning I just gave on of my staff, my piece of mind. She didnt come to work for 2 days and didnt inform me. Mellow or not, i regard this as my responsibility to show her how to be a disipline staff

Eat moderately after fasting!
Muhasabah ownself more!
Have a good fasting month ahead!
