post Ramadhan..(3rd entry)

The holy month of Ramadhan had just end. Now,a month which had been long-awaited by all Muslims all around the region has arrived. Syawal,the ninth month in the Islamic calendar brings a thousand meaning for all Muslims. Not just it marks the victory of us in abstaining ourselves from various world desire,but it is a month where love is celebrated in the form of forgiveness. Yes,there is no denying that once the "Takbir",the holy chant to mark the beginning of Syawal, is performed in all mosques all around the region,every Muslims will be over the moon due to the realization that they have succesfully overcome their inner demon for the whole month. What wisdom is there within us ,if we are to live based on the feeling of our hearts? However,what is more important for me is what should we do and realize among ourselves. We speak of fighting to resist this world,but do we realize the battle which is happening among ourselves? My point here is in this month,the spirit of forgivesness shoul be spread. In Malaysia,it is a practice where in this month,family members will return to their respective hometowns,a tradition more recognized as "balik kampung". By this gathering,my family and I will first ask the forgiveness from each other, I couldn't stop my eyes from crying since all of us are sincerely admit what we are commit wrong and hoping that we can stay happily after this. After that, all of us visited to the relatives house, I felt so happy since it had been such along time I last saw them. We are all enjoying our Raya meals very well, although the rendang is quite spicy but I just couldn't stop myself from eating much. The whole day we filled with visiting our relatives and friends, such a happy day. Time move so fast when we are enjoying it, I have not realize that seven days already passed. Now I am back to UKM and continue my study and not forget to prepare for my conferencing.
