Fell in love in Jakarta! <3



I just realized I haven't written anything during this break.. I've been so busy, I went to college almost everyday though it's holiday because I'm the only one with different academic calendar among SRC.

Alhamdulillah my last post was this year. I am delighted by the amount of duty assigned from Him. Since last year, I have been paranoid to think that I'm going to end up my youth life just flipping through those textbooks. I used to be scared of listening to my inner voice because it usually come true, but recently I read an article about our instinct is something we observe unintentionally. So I guess I'm just extra ordinary? (Yeah right, haha).

1. Arabic Islamic Inst. in Tokyo2. Tokyo Camii Mosque
3. Assalaam Mosque (Okachimachi Mosque)

東京モスク巡り〜！

1. アラブ・イスラーム学院
2. 東京ジャーミー・モスク
3. アッサラーム・モスク（御徒町モスク）

正直言って、イスラーム学院に行ったのはコーラン目当てで、モスクは次の２カ所です。

ちなみに、コーランは本当に貰いました！行ってきな！⊂( ･∀･) 彡

色んな人に会いたいなら、金曜日の昼頃だね。金曜日の礼拝って事でモスクには外国人が集まってる。イスラム教徒の日本人も結構いるよ〜　英語も日本語もあまり話せない人もいた！話すの凄い面白かった。⁽⁽٩(๑˃̶͈̀ ᗨ ˂̶͈́)۶⁾⁾

ジャーミーだったらトルコ伝統の昼ごはんを出してくれるし、女の子だったら（イスラム風で謙虚な）真っ黒いロングドレスを着れる。こう🌀回ったらディズニープリンセスみたいになる様な。(´͈ ૢᐜ `͈ૢ) もちろん無料！笑

ここに来たのは初めてで、解らない事ばかり。それなりに何倍もたくさん新しい事を学びました！もし間違ってたり、正確じゃない詳細をみつけたら、怒らず優しい言葉で私に教えて下さい。(´･ε･̥ˋ๑)　このビデオから何か疑惑を感じる事があっても、是非教えて下さい！頑張ってはっきりとした答えをみつけます。୧(๑ ⁼̴̀ᐜ⁼̴́๑)૭

例えば、トイレにシャワー！？ (04:42) って驚いたら、いいえ、トイレでシャワーを浴びません。ムスリムは綺麗好き〜（って言ったらなんか変な印象。笑）色々ついてると礼拝はできないってなっていて、トイレを使った後は水で洗う事が習慣になっている。日本ではウォシュレット、海外ではこうしたシャワー（モスクにあるのよりもっと小さめ）を使ってきれいに洗います。ずっと前からお尻や陰部を清潔にしていたんだって。

Hello and assalamualaikum everyone!

This video is about my journey of KLIA - NRT - HND. I'm going to briefly introduce the facilities in Japan airlines/airports (Narita & Haneda), which covers :

Halal meal provided by All Nippon Airways : During my flight from KLIA, there was no official Halal (what is "Halal"? Ask me!) label but during my returning flight, all the labels and menus were proper and accurate! How things can improve in weeks. ;)

Transportation from NRT to HND :
1. I used Limousine Airport Bus because I had a huge luggage with me and I was alone (3100 Yen)
2. Train station is "attached" in the airport itself (1610 Yen - Keisei Line)

Both are safe and convenient insyaAllah. You don't have to leave the airport to find the station etc. Personally I'd prefer the train, because it's much cheaper.. Haha

Prayer Rooms
Honestly I was too fascinated (jakun to be accurate hahahah) to find this. Could've just prayed anywhere but since the facility is there, Why not? That little girl inside me was too curious and excited to find this!!

I got a weird look when I ask for Prayer Room, but 礼拝室 (reihaishitsu) is a more familiar word I think. I was too lazy to squeeze my brain and speak in Japanese in the first few hours of arriving, pardon me.. :P

I think other than prayers, I might use it if I had to separate from Mom, leaving me alone here. (All the cry baby out there, put your hands up! ) The tranquil surrounding is perfect to calm youself. But make sure you don't make any noise.

Byee I hope this entertain you a bit at least, if not - go watch Telletubbies or Upin Ipin!

This is the third day of our trip, once in a while it's not wrong to watch instead of read, right? Haha. Hope you like it. :)

Gonna miss the solo train trip!

The semester break from year 1 to year 2 has lasted for almost a month, and alhamdulillah I get the chance to return to my hometown after years. I never liked to tell where is my hometown but I guess it's all unfolded now.

I always wanted to go but the time wasn't right. Father won't let me go on my own, obviously. So having to match the holiday with every family members wasn't a piece of cake, it was almost impossible. 

And alhamdulillah, finally. How beautiful Allah's plan is! I gotta tell you, I'm rather stubborn, when I say no then it is no. I do wanted to go to Japan at first when I heard that the destination for this year's trip is there, ONLY IF my friends go. At first they were so excited but after awhile it diminished just like that, so I kinda forgot about it.. It doesn't excite me that much anyway, Japan isn't an amusing holiday destination to me.

Until few months back, when the participants asked for my help as some of them know I can communicate in Japanese. I had a thought of going to Japan alone. Since my close friends aren't going, I might as well just have an adventure and travel alone! I have no problems about the language anyway. I contacted my friends, assure that I had a place to stay, etc, but unsurprisingly, I got a no from my father.

Since the holiday is quite long, I thought I might use the trip as chance for me to travel without my family, so I proposed to my father about my plan to join. He didn't say anything. So I assumed it was a no. I don't really get the chance to go on my own, so, I was okay. Hahaa

One day while I was talking about writing a letter in Japanese, talked on the phone, he casually said if I wanna go, I can use his credit card to buy the ticket! I was so happy, I cheked the lowest fare available, it was All Nippon Airways. It's not a low cost company (or carrier?), so a bonus for me! I got the ticket for RM 1457, not really a deal, but averagely lower. The Halal meal was nice anyway.

But since I'm getting on different flight with my friends, I had to travel alone to the airport! It's not a "had", it's rather a "get" I think! I always wanted to know how it feels like. Hahahah. Besides that, other than 3 days of University programme, I get to travel on my own to meet old friends and see Islam in Japan!! 

I will talk about it in detail later for my own reference as well. It was such a priceless experience for me. I went to Japan but I didn't go to Tokyo tower, Sky Tree, Shinjuku, Harajuku, Odaiba, Disney parks, no. I only got on the train, and walked just to see the world and to find myself. :)

Arrival at King Abdulaziz Airport

As we stepped out of the shuttle and the coldness strike towards your bone, I know I'm now standing at Madinah. This is the land that has been walked by Rasulullah and many of his sahabat. It feels really amazing, and makes you think of how much Rasulullah loves us.

Our day start as early as 4 in the morning, we went to Masjid Nabawi. I was really eager to hear my first azan in Madinah, I waited for it and yessss got it recorded! Subhanallah.

Brief history about Masjid Nabawi :

 "What is between my house and my mimbar is one of the meadows of the Garden, and my mimbar is on my watering-place (al-Hawd)."

The area between is now called "Raudhah" and you may grab the opportunity to pray over there!
     

Good morning from Madinah! :)

If I'm not mistaken there are two kubah in Masjid Nabawi, and there is only one kubah with dark green covering as seen in this photo.

Beneath the green kubah is where our Prophet Muhammad SAW's maqam is located. :') I heard that we used to be allowed to visit inside, but it's prohibited now BUT, you can still see from ar-Raudhah, the outside of Rasulullah's maqam, Sayyidina Abu Bakr's, and Sayyidina Umar al-Khattab's.

Masya Allah.. I can still feel goosebumps just reminiscing the memory of being there..

(This is my experience of performing Umrah during winter from 24th December 2013 - 5th January 2014. You can find other posts by going to the posts labelled MakkahMadinah which can be found at the right side of my blog. Thank you.)

Nabawi = Nabi (refers to propher Muhammad SAW). The mimbar he used to stand at is located here, nearby his house. His actual house isn't there anymore but according to one hadith, 

Photo from Google Map

Here's the route from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (Malaysia) to King Abdulaziz International Airport (Jeddah), according to Google the distance is around 11000 km and it takes 140 hours to drive (?).

By plane, it took around 9 hours. We used Malaysia Airline (MAS) and alhamdulillah we didn't have to transit to anywhere. The time in Saudi Arabia is 5 hours before Malaysia.

(You may skip here if you don't wanna read about my personal life.)
Mak Ngah stopped by at our house cause she couldn't go to the airport. From our house, Nenek, Ucu and Ayah Cu sent us so they will take care of our car and stuffs. Over there, we met Acik and family. One of the officer of our travel agent, Barakah Umhaj Travel was there to give some last explanation and to gather us, only two families since our flight was actually being forward earlier, which was an advantage for us yeay!

Our flight left at 3.45 PM and reached KAIA at around 10 PM (SA clock). The whether was nice, but to be compared with Malaysia, yes it was rather chill.

My first impression : Dusty.
