This year's Eid ( Hari Raya Idilfitri ) was a quiet , simple and modest one .On the eve of Hari Raya I and and my wife visited my late father's grave at Seksyen 21, Shah Alam . How ever I was a bit disappointed when I saw there was no sign of any other visitors to the grave despite of me sending smss to all my brothers and sisters reminding them to do so . I thought to myself how easy they had forgotten the sacrifices of our late father .Probably they were not as grateful as I am for what our late father had done for us . Ironically they are the one who are enjoying the fruits from my late father's estate .
Hari Raya was on a Friday and as such there would be two sermons to be heard in the Mosque . Some believed it was not a good omen . I skipped the Ididlfitri prayers not because I believed in the that belief but because I was not well in the morning . There was a satisfactory flow of visitors to my house from my old friends who still maintain close contact with me . At about 1.00 pm I had to excuse myself in order for me to go the Mosque to attend the Friday prayer .
I did not have the opportunity to visit my relatives like I did the previous years . That was because we were quite busy with preparation for us to perform our Haj in November . The following week we had to go the Johor Bahru to send our daughter to her campus in Skudai. Johor . I was a bit happy because this year I had the opportunity to visit the grave of my late father in law in Muar and my late mother in law in Johor Bahru . I prayed -they would be accepted by Allah among faithfulls in Heaven .
