MS after came back from Eid prayer..he is getting taller every time!
AS after Eid prayer, want to keep with his Malaysian traditional clothes.
Eating after came back from Eid prayer. This is nearly 12 midday. The boys friend A came by and J not at home. Without the soup and gravy they eat, usually A will join us eating with hand even rice! We don't used dining table at home to enable us to sit practising the sunnah way and gain rewards. It is hard to regain the sunnah now a days because people will usually make mockery of people who try to revive the sunnah even among muslim themselves especially.
Insya Allah the sunnah is the only way that will bring us successful in this duniya and hereafter. It's hard to say, follow the quran and sunnah, but in reality it was very hard. It's not easy to throw away things and habit we used to and follow the simple things as using miswak most of the time. But, Masya Allah the barakah and blessing in reviving the sunnah can only be feel if we try hard to bring the sunnah into our life, practice it and try to be steadfast with it. Once we get used to it, Insya Allah it will become a habit. I used to with sitting on the floor since age 12 after my family move out from my grandmother house to their rented house. Since than I get used to sit on the floor more than on dining table. actually even the feeling is different. The humbleness and down to earth as a servant of Allah. It make our heart and mind change inside just by reviving the sunnah by eating on the floor. In other word, to help us to learn in practical to bring taqwa. Taqwa is not just by doing amal, praying, reading quran, fasting, but in our day to day an daily life.
Imagine, how much time we spend in our day to day life in eating, sleeping, going into toilet and all other action that every human being had to do. By doing all this according to the sunnah, than all this day to day living will become and amal.
For example, if we sleep 5 hours a day and our life span is 50 years, our sleeping time is 91250 hours! If we bring the sunnah into our sleeping time, our sleep will become ibadah. If we die during our sleep time, we will die in ibadaah. This is it is important to bring the sunnah practise in our daily life.
Sunnah is what make a different between muslim and non muslim. Because everybody had to sleep, eat, going to toilet. This three things which definitely everybody had to do. By doing all this according to sunnah, than rewards is waiting for us. What a mercy that Allah had give to us, the ummah of the Prophet Muhammad saw. Imagine, one who going to toilet according to sunnah, it will become ibadah. Everything that we do, if we follow the sunnah, we will be in the condition of remembering Allah swt and in following the commandment of Allah swt and live according to the live of the Prophet Muhammad swt , our live Insya Allah will become success.
This is what the sahabah did. They follow the commandment of Allah swt and they follow every detail of what the Prophet saw done. The Sahabah life story if not just a story for us to know, to read, to learn, but to bring it into practise. To make what they did as the habit into our day to day life.
For me, one of the important subject for my kids to learn, less from theory but more into practical. Non verbal learning. But we the parents the one who need to do this and try to practise this in regular basis. Me and hub still lack in many aspect of sunnah, but we try our best to bring it into the habit and into our daily life in practise and by verbally talk and chat with kids. For me, it is a part of learning session which important to bring it into practise than in writing and learning academically as my aim is for this to become a habit. To make it a habit, we need constantly doing it by practise. Knowing it didn't mean doing it, that's for me. Knowing it will get reward of learning, but practise it will bring reward every time we practise it.
