this week is surely cheerful with the celebration of syawal 1430h..being an imam foer eid prayer reminds me about my best ambition..during secondary 2, i've insisted to be a primary imam in masjidilharamain..do you know what is masjidil haramain? it refers to masjidil haram and masjid an-nabawi, 2 mosques that i always hoping to reach it..as for now, it seems like that beautiful ambition will surely not becomes reality..=(
but, come to think about it, the existing imams is extremely a knowledgable and respected person. their characters such as humble, intelligent, careful and calm is what we should aim to practise..
