Mcm Mcm teRawikH..

Up until now, I only do 8 rakaat for terawikh prayers. I never did more than that, I don't know why. But I do make sure that I never miss the prayer every night. We only get to do terawikh once a year. But of course I do miss once in awhile as I do need to travel back and forth to KL. Ok, back to my 1st point. After 8 rakaat, I would get up hurriedly so that others who want to continue their terawikh can pray in the proper saf. There are others who are moving out towards the doors also. So, this one night, as we were moving in a crowd towards the door, one makcik suddenly stopped and stood in the middle of the stairs to take off her kain sembahyang. Why on earth do you want to do that there?!! Can't you wait for some place with less people? Or can't you stand near the wall instead of at the middle of the way to do that? You know what I did?! Saya dengan busuk hatinya telah melanggar makcik itu. But not until she fell or anything. It was just like I bumped into her. She was okey. Don't worry. I'm not that mean. So anyway, after that, I looked for my slippers to go back home. The floor is always wet because the entrance is near the wudhu' place. Allah Maha Kaya terus bayar cash kepada saya. I nearly slipped because of the wet floor. But of course I didn't fall la. Kalau x, malu laa I. Iskk. There were a lot of people you know.

2nd point. I don't understand these people who want to pray together, jemaah, but always leave empty spaces in between the saf. I can conclude that they are aiming for the fan. Tempat x kena kipas, x laku laa alamatnyer. There will be a few makciks who will membebel supaya penuhkan saf. Then only they move. But still it seems like they don't learn about this. Takkan laa x belajar zaman sekolah dulu. If we are to fill in the saf, we have to move to our right. Bukannyer ke kiri. Like this one kakak on my left today. She asked me to move towards her. I said to her, "Kena gerak ke kanan laa". She chose to ignore my teguran and let the gap be there. For the person behind us to come forward is impossible because the gap wasn't big enough. But you can still see the gap clearly. The reason she doesn't want to move to her right was because she doesn't want to leave her sejadah. If she moved, she will sujud di antara 2 sejadah. I felt like giving her a piece of my mind, " Orang lain sujud atas pasir xder hal pun".

3rd point is similar to point 2. The gap or empty spaces between saf. As I remember I learnt at school, you can move 3 times in your prayers. So, when we have started our prayers, and we need to move to rapatkan saf, it's okey. you can do that. Worst comes to worst, stop praying and move to rapatkan saf. Then angkat takbir again to start praying. X berdosa pun. Of course we can kejar the imam. But the people here don't do that. I don't understand why they keep on praying with the gap. After finishing the pray, after salam, then only they move towards their right to fill in the saf. Lebih rela kekal solat daripada bergerak rapatkan saf. I don't get it at all.

Even I'm a bit angry, I still have a photo. >.<

This is the mosque where I do my terawikh. But this photo was taken during different occasion.
