Selfless

Bismillah..

Alhamdulillah, didn't expect that~ :")

tired, yes...but the heart becomes light enough that the weariness seeps away by every recollections, every remembrance.

Most heartfelt Syawal I've ever had so far, MasyaAllah~

Tomorrow would be the last day of Syawal, so it's a REALLY good closure.

Just had a Majlis 3 Serangkai (Teacher's Day, Hari Raya celebration and Islamic Poetry combined)...not exactly what you called perfect.

Yet, it's our first, and I'm very proud of them kids.

Love the interaction with parents, and them amongst themselves. Like a familiarity of brotherhood in Islam. Just that. All have the best interest for their children at heart, to take a chance to trust their kids to us, in learning Islamic values over solely academic achievements. To trust these very very young teachers, in their trials and errors, and us (both parents and educators) learning from each other.

Can't.be.described.

when the children (6-8 years old) were asked to reflect on that song (Ayah dan Ibu), suddenly, they are choking in tears. MasyaAllah, they are playful, mischievous but their heart..so easily moved. Even the play is simple, yet still manage to wrought out tears from audience. Not perfect but heartfelt. Truly heartfelt.

  when two parents stood by each other, who have their kids as classmates since KG 1 (now KG3), actually 'conversing' with each other...the other heavily pregnant. I don't know...contentment, perhaps. I sense contentment, in being so familiar, rather than formal. This type of relationship..is maybe something I could relate to being in a real community. Caring, loving, helping each other out, all those feeling under one roof tonight.

maybe it's being delusional, but I'd like that. To have my whole community (my country) to bond over like that, too. Despite the many faults: agreed to work together, to have a bit of patience, to make way for others in those cramped hallway, to willingly try new things...

*laugh* it's like am seeing them in a new light....rather than it's all about their kids...some parents are pretty defensive at that front.

but tonight is about them, really. The father. The mother. just us together, laughing at the stacks of food, pampering the kids and *ehem* ourselves.

Please bless us all, O Allah~
Alight our hearts with Your hidayah, and may we learn the peace, the tranquility of being under Your roof~ The nikmat of syahadah. To be selfless infront of You. 

This (ukhuwwah) is sweet. ^^
