Mata ne, Okasan!

"Jumpa lagi, Bonda!"
After I sent my mother off from Shinjuku-station, was I all alone - again. Koki invited me to join the cram school's bowling event in Sagamihara and the 35minutes train ride feels like forever. It was the first time in weeks that I did not speak for a straight half-an-hour (except when I'm sleeping~"^-^). I lived, to tell the tale.. that it is 全然 OK to live without the Internet and Facebook for a month-! *IF you have your mother by your side. =))) hehe.. Lucky that Aime wanted to spend the night at my house right after the bowling game. I cooked, and did the laundry the next day and went to Shimo to get some fresh cold-raining air. When I arrived at home, it was still raining and I didn't want to get inside my room. So, I stayed outside. Wet-and-cold. Dah alang-alang basah, I took the kitchen sponge and started scrubbing the front part of the house. Then the stairs, and the balcony, and the washing machine area until late night. I woke up the next day not being able to move my left arm-my back-and my hip. Ouch! Dang- I miss my mother. I miss her words of wisdom for every-single-thing that happened to me. I miss having her by my side. I miss my best friend.

Who is 'he'?

Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: 'When a man dies and his relatives are busy in funeral, there stands an extremely handsome man by his head. When the dead body is shrouded, that man gets in between the shroud and the chest of the deceased. Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) bersabda : 'Bila seseorang lelaki itu mati dan saudaranya sibuk dengan pengebumiannya, berdiri lelaki yang betul-betul kacak di bahagian kepalanya. Bila mayatnya dikapan, lelaki itu berada di antara kain kapan dan si mati. Selepas pengebumian, semua orang pulang ke rumah, 2 malaikat Mungkar dan Nakir, datang dalam kubur dan cuba memisahkan lelaki kacak ini supaya mereka boleh menyoal lelaki yang telah meninggal itu seorang diri mengenai ketaatannya kepada Allah. Tapi lelaki kacak itu berkata, Dia adalah temanku, dia adalah kawanku. Aku takkan meninggalkannya seorang diri walau apa pun. Jika kamu ditetapkan untuk menyoal, lakukanlah tugasmu. Aku tidak boleh meninggalkannya sehingga aku dapati dia dimasukkan ke dalam Syurga.' Thereafter he turns to his dead companion and says, 'I am the Qur'an, which you used to read, sometimes in a loud voice and sometimes in a low voice. Do not worry. After the interrogation of Munkar and Naker, you will have no grief.' Selepas itu dia berpaling pada temannya yang meninggal dan berkata,'Aku adalah Al-Quran, yang mana kamu membacanya, kadang-kadang dengan suara yang nyaring dan kadang-kadang dengan suara yang perlahan. Jangan bimbang. Selepas soal siasat dari Mungkar dan Nakir, kamu tidak akan bersedih.' When the interrogation is over, the handsome man arranges for him from Al-Mala'ul A'laa (the angels in Heaven) silk bedding filled with musk. Selepas soal siasat selesai, lelaki kacak mengatur untuknya daripada Al-Mala'ul A'laa (malaikat dalam Syurga) tempat tidur dari sutera yang dipenuhi bauan kesturi Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said: 'On the Day of Judgement, before Allah, no other Intercessor will have a greater status than the Qur'an, neither a Prophet nor an angel.' Rasulullah (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) bersabda :'Di hari pengadilan, di hadapan Allah, tiada syafaat yang lebih baik darjatnya daripada Quran, mahupun dari nabi atau malaikat.'
