masjid kampung
every eid, my family and i, will always go to kampung pasiran for our eid prayers. the atmosphere there has always been a wonderful one. almost everybody knows everybody there. it wasnt a big masjid to begin with. and everybody who went there, most of them had lived at kampung pasiran before. well, if you are wondering where is kampung pasiran situated at, it's just behind the Revenue House at Novena. i, for sure remembered that place very well. been following my parents there since i was abt 5yrs old. and will always refuse if my parents suggested to go to another masjid for eid prayers.
the masjid planned to have a refurbishment to accommodate more jemaahs, but in the earlier stage, the funds was never enough. the whole plan was postphoned for abt a few years. then finally, aidiladha 2002 was finally the last day the masjid opened its door to jemaah before it was closed for refurbishment. the whole thing was supposed to be completed in 2 years or so they said.
to my family, eid prayers somewhere else other than masjid pasiran is just different. yeah, i know, kalau nak beribadat, kat mana-mana pon boleh. but, this particular masjid definitely has been close to our hearts. too closed indeed.
and today, i was reading the berita harian and i believed its the news that my family had been waiting for. masjid pasiran is ready to meet the jemaah once again, insya-allah. the article is something i look forward to. alhamdulillah.
