Magical
Dear Sufiyah,
It's the third day of Ramadhan. I just read an article - Children in the Masjid - Making Space for Our Future. I must say the past three nights that we were in Masjid, I was worried if any of the ladies would bluntly say it to my face that you shouldn't be standing beside me - instead to go play with other kids outside the Masjid. Alhamdulillah I have not encountered such episode yet. But I have receive some uncomfortable gestures but I'm getting more smiles from the ladies :) My objective is to make you feel closer to the House of Allah. I can bring you to cinema and try to comfort you in the dark for 2 hours...so why shouldn't I bring you Masjid? Alhamdulillah Sufi memang dengar nasihat Mama.
Last year, when one of our extended family member tahu yang Sufi ikut pergi solat terawih, terus dia jadi defensive. Dia tak solat terawih di masjid sebab tak nak bawa anak2 ke masjid sebab nanti menganggu jemaah yang lain. I just smiled. Memang solat terawih di rumah pun boleh. I have nothing against that. Solat terawih di rumah pun bagus..in some situations, boleh elakkan diri daripada perasaan nak menunjuk2 bila beribadah (I questioned myself on this last year). But my objective sangat ikhlas Sufi. Mama nak anak Mama selalu ke masjid. Mama nak Sufi rasa seronok ke masjid. Alhamdulillah, this year...Sufi selalu ajak Mama singgah Maghrib di masjid on Wednesdays.. Tak selalu Mama bawa...ada 2-3 kali je. Semoga Allah buka kan hati kita sekeluarga untuk selalu ke masjid :)
So last night, Sufi solat Isya' beside me. Ada 3 kids kat saf belakang. Mama diorang solat sebelah Mama. Bila terawih about to start, Mama tanya Sufi..Sufi solat dengan kawan2 kat belakang nak? Laju Sufi kata nak. Sejak dari tazkirah lagi Sufi dok pandang2 one of the siblings yang nampak lebih kurang sebaya Sufi. Selesai every 2 rakaat, I'll check on you.. Baik je terduduk in between those girls. Asal Mama pandang je, Sufi senyum. Cair ok. Biarpun rambut depan Sufi terkeluar dah basah kuyup and muka melekat-lekat bulu-bulu carpet. Comot tapi comel :)
Mama suruh lipat telekung Sufi masa Mama witir. Bersungguh-sungguh kamu bentang elok-elok telekung bagi lurus before melipat, sampai makcik sebelah yang nak sujud terpaksa gerak ke kiri 2 langkah nak sujud. Selesai witir, Mama dok pandang kat taman masjid cari Papa..terkejut tengok arini Papa dah tunggu kat luar corridor main door. Papa main nyorok2 ngan Sufi yang tengah cari kasut. The night before Papa nyorok kat belakang pokok dalam gelap sampai Sufi tak jupe! Mama terus ajak Sufi minum air sirap kat perkarangan masjid. Cawan dah habis, so isi dalam botol Barney Sufi. Papa kata bersungguh la Mama kamu ni nak minum air sirap masjid. Hello..air sirap masjid rasa lai.. lagi sedap! Hehe.. dahagakan!
Nenek pesan beli minyak cap kapak..so kita jalan pergi 7-11. Macam-macam pulak kita shopping air.. Mama belikan Sufi strawberry Rocky. Mama yang teringin actually. On the way balik ke rumah tu.. beriya-iya kita dok makan Rocky di bawah lampu-lampu jalan tu. Papa tukang pegang Rocky, Sufi jalan in between us. Habis sebatang, Papa bagi lagi. Enjoy betul Mama tengok Sufi. I feel so blessed because that simple moment felt so magical to me. Mama hirup udara malam tu dalam-dalam :)
Love,
Mama
