HAPPY 1430 HIJRAH
28 DECEMBER 2008
The Kelab Sukan dan Rekreasi of the Embassy of Malaysia through its Biro Agama had nobly organised a special prayer session to welcome the arrival of Muharram, the first month in the Islamic calendar for the year 1430 Hijrah. The prayer session was held at the musolla of the Embassy at the 12th floor of the HBS Apartments.
2. The session which began at approximately 1730 hours and ended after the conclusion of Isya’ prayer was graced with the presence of TYT Dato’ Husni Zai Yaacob and Datin Norshiha Hasbullah. Approximately, more than 30 Muslim HBS attended the session. Those who attended the session had generously brought some food and drinks for some light refreshments after the prayer session. Traditionally, Muslims would celebrate Awal Muharram by reciting do’a at the end and beginning of the year followed with yasin recital and tahlil. In this regard, the Embassy of Malaysia was no exception.
3. The session officially ended at 2100 hours. The gathering accorded fantastic opportunity for those present to enhance their brotherhood and mingle with each other. It was obvious from the happy faces that not only they were happy to serve and worship Allah the Almighty by participating in the prayer session, but beyond that, they were also able to meet each other and exchange stories within the evidently spirit of brotherhood. Given the success of the session, the Biro Agama would plan for another session comes March 2009 to mark the birthday of Prophet Muhammad S.A.W.
