  • Bangladeshi Foreign Workers Steadfast Observing Ramadan Despite Gruelling Schedules

    Bangladeshi Foreign Workers Steadfast Observing Ramadan Despite Gruelling Schedules

    On the last night of Terawih Prayers before Ramadan comes to an end for our Muslim friends, I had the privilege to witness and photograph how the men who built our houses practise their faith.

    Many of the construction workers in Singapore are Bangladeshi, and many Bangladeshi are Muslim, so I’ve always wondered how they continued to be faithful during the Holy Month despite their punishing and gruelling working lives here in Singapore.

    Last night (4th July 2016) I photographed these Muslim workers saying their Terawih Prayers outside their dormitory in Tuas, where space is so limited within the dorms that they have had to bring their faith out onto the roadside.

  • Orang Sibuk Berterawih, Pasangan InI Ditangkap Basah

    Orang Sibuk Berterawih, Pasangan InI Ditangkap Basah

    INDONESIA: Sedang umat Islam sibuk menunaikan ibadah terawih di masjid setelah seharian berpuasa, sepasang kekasih juga sibuk memadu asmara di sebuah rumah sewa di Jawa Barat.

    Pasangan itu, Ahan 35 tahun dan Lis Hermawati 29 tahun, bagaimanapun ditangkap penduduk kampung semalam (19 Jun) semasa orang lain sedang bersolat terawih di masjid.

    Serbuan ke atas mereka itu dibuat hasil daripada rasa curiga pemilik rumah sewa tersebut yang sering melihat Ahan masuk ke rumah itu semasa suami Lis tidak ada.

    Semasa serbuan dijalankan, pasangan yang pada ketika itu hampir tidak memakai seurat benang pun, cuba untuk mengelak ditangkap basah dengan bersembunyi di dalam sebuah almari.

    “Semasa serbuan dibuat rumah itu seperti tidak ada sesiapa, tetapi apabila saya memeriksa di dalam, mereka sedang bersembunyi di dalam almari,” menurut Soleh pemilik rumah tersebut.

    Pasangan itu kemudian dipaksa keluar dan hanya dengan berpakaian dalam, mereka diarak keliling kampung sebelum dihantar ke balai polis.

    Pasangan itu masing-masing sudah berkahwin bahkan semasa di balai polis, isteri Ahan dan suami Lis turut hadir.

    Ustaz Irwan Hadi: Having Young Children Join Terawih Is Blessing, Not A Curse

    Praying our terawih in congregation and the fact that we cannot sometimes maybe focus fully becoz there are children crying are but to nurture in us empathy and compassion..One of the wisdom in my view of jemaah or congregational prayers is for us to learn to live cohesively. Although I admit it starts first with tolerance then it turns hopefully into empathy n compassion. Wouldnt we rather our children be acquainted to the mosque..Wouldnt we rather hear their laughter cries and chatter in the house of God or would we rather them stray away n be far from Him?

    Remember Prophet’s ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings be upon him) empathy for mothers in the masjid, that was narrated by Anas bin Malik:

    “The Messenger of Allah ṣallallāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said: ‘I start prayer and I want to make it long, but then I hear an infant crying, so I make my prayer short, because I know the distress caused to the mother by his crying.’” [Ibn Majah]

    Havent we always heard about how the Prophet as an Imam extended his prostration (sujud) in a congregational prayer just becoz his grandchild was climbing on him?
    ‪#‎DoGoodBeGood‬‪#‎40HadithOnRahmah‬

    (QUALIFIER: Even when I lead the prayers, the laughter and cries of children in the mosque during my prayers are more beloved to me then not hearing them:) at least I feel assured the next generations of believers are getting acquainted to God:) my posting is really for those who thinks children are nuisance in the mosques:))
