Syukur Alhamdullillah.
Our Iftar Ramadhan 2023 – Santuni Mualaf 2.0’s guest of honor was Sheikh Dr Usamah Mohamad Iqbal, our Al Quran Master at Surau An Nur. 50 Mualaf / Saudara Kita and no less than 60 residents came to this event.
Sheikh gives us a Tazkirah combining both the Reflections of Al Quran and Embracing The Spirit of Ramadhan. Focusing on the importance of Do’s and Dont’s during fasting and how to fully seize all opportunities open up by Allah SWT during the holy month and capture the Ramadhan advantages. Reading Al Quran the best way we can, remembrance of the Ramadhan objectives and self reflections. Being together as Jemaah, Ummah and doing it wholeheartedly as an individual.
Sheikh then recite a Dua for all of us and after breaking fast, Maghrib and Isyak, Sheikh leads us to a 8 + 3 Terawih. Masya Allah, the 40 minutes experience standing behind Sheikh as Makmum was mesmerizing, both emotionally & physically. It was as if we were in Mecca , carrying out Terawih to a different level where Sheikh’s recitation, word by word, tone by tone, accuracy and breathing techniques were just truly amazing. Thank you Allah SWT.
Jazakallahukhair Sheikh for this wonderful experience. May Allah SWT grant us all barakah, accepts all our sincere repentance of sins and accepts all our good deeds. In Sha Allah.
