Story 2

Assalamu'alaikum.

This is another 'entry santai'. Enjoy reading!

Yesterday, after Juma'at Prayer at the university masjid, I walked back to my college. I didn't wait and chatting/reciting Al-Quran as usual as I have bundles of assignments to be done.

On my way back,I have to use a route which there is a storm drain in the middle of the route and the drain does not being covered. So,people need to jump/langkah besar to cross it.

I noticed there was a guy walking behind me from the masjid,and he was on the same way with me i.e. using the same route. He was on the phone while walking and it wasn't my interest at all to listen to the his conversation.But his voice was quite loud and I can barely listened to his words.

When I came to the storm drain I jumped across it and keeps on walking.Suddenly,something attracted me,as I couldn't hear that guy conversation who was walking behind me.I turned around and saw he was inside the storm drain! Ya Allah!(it's a storm drain and you should expect the depth of the drain.Approximately up to human chest or head)

I was standing about 10 meters from the drain and confused whether I need to help him or not.But that guy still on the phone and acting calmly and relax as if 'he is not inside the drain'.So, I keep on walking and at the same time I'll turning back after few steps to ensure he is ok.And Alhamdulillah he managed to climb out from the drain and continue chatting using his phone.

I learned something from him.If only we can take things seriously,then we will do it,no matter of any problems and obstacles.If we think solat is important,then in any situation we will not give any excuses not to perform it.In that guy's situation,calling and chatting in the phone is important enough.Although he was stumbled inside the drain,he didn't hang up the call.(very impressive on him)
(tiba-tiba teringat iklan TM Malaysia di masjid-masjid 'Tiada panggilan yang lebih penting selain panggilan Ilahi)

*I just realized that the guy was wearing 'jubah'/robe and I think it is the asbab/reason he fall inside the drain.(Tak leh nak langkah besar).(lepas ni tak mau pakai jubah dah la.Pakai kurta cukup.hehe)
