عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَة َ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

 اِذَا مَاتَ الانْسَانُ اِنْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ

 اِلا مِنْ ثَلاثَةٍ اِلا مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ

أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُولَهُ

Dari Abu Hurairah r.a. katanya :

Bersabda Rasulullah s.a.w. :

"Apabila seseorang telah meninggal dunia putuslah segala amalannya

kecuali tiga, sedekah jariah,

atau ilmu yang dimanfaatkan atau anak soleh yang mendoakannya

Hadis sahih riwayat Muslim

“If a human dies, then his good deeds stop except for three: a Sadaqa Jariah (continuous charity), a beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.” 

Dream Big...In sha Allah

The Architect's impression...

This is an impression from the person designing the Surau ... ignore the landscape view as we don't have the luxury of the space. To be exact, imagine the above , into the pic below.




In all honesty, personally , it looks like a huge dream to us...

ربي يسر ولا تعسر ,ربي تمم بالخي
rabbi yassir wa la tu’assir ,rabbi tammim bil khayr ,aameen.

Everything starts somewhere...just like us, in life.At age of 3, probably , we would have seen fasting in the whole of Ramadhan as far fetch... we started to do few hours, half a day and there you go...full day..in no time , full month  with terawih , tahajjud and the list of goes on , In sya Allah...

An opportunity.....

                           

Bandingan (derma) orang yang membelanjakan hartanya pada jalan Allah, ialah sama seperti sebiji benih yang yang tumbuh menerbitkan tujuh tangkai tiap-tiap tangkai itu pula mengandungi seratus biji. Dan (ingatlah) Allah akan melipat gandakan pahala bagi sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya, dan Allah Maha Luas (rahmat) kurniaNya lagi Meliputi ilmu pengetahuanNya.

The parable of those who spend their substance in the way of Allah is that of a grain of corn: it groweth seven ears, and each ear Hath a hundred grains. Allah giveth manifold increase to whom He pleaseth: And Allah careth for all and He knoweth all things.

Surau Haji Ali

Dear Friends,

The attached pictures are the pictures of Surau Haji Ali. A Surau situated along Jalan Losong Haji Su in Kuala Terengganu, the location with it’s very famous Keropok Lekor.

Some History…

The original Surau was built by a Kelantanese called Haji Ali,  who migrated from Kelantan to Terengganu in the early 1800. The base of the Surau has been there for more than 150 years. During the Japanese occupation the Surau was completely destroyed due to bombing. There is still an indication of a hole underneath the surau.

Hj Ali , the founder of the surau has Wakaf the land for this surau, hence there should not be any issue for us to rebuilt it. The caretaker is a relative to him and is fully aware of the wakaf.

Current…

As the surau is located along the main road, the surau is still alive. At times, busloads of tourist stop by to perform their prayers or to refresh as they visited one of the Terengganus’s tourist attraction – Keropok Lekor Losong. Daily prayers are being observed by a voluntary imam.

On a weekly basis two classes are being conducted here ( Quran and Hadith), again on a voluntary basis by local scholars. Average 20 to 25 women attend the classes consistently.

When I visited the place, I was very sad with the state of its washrooms and cleanliness.

I gathered few friends and try to get some assistance to clean up the area and do some repairs to the place, however, this is what we saw ,

1. The two toilets need a complete re do

2. The Surau’s wall is being infested by termites

3. Some of the floors are spoilt or almost rotten

4. Few of the wooden beams underneath the Surau are being infested by termites

5. I was told by one makcik that possibly the kayu thats holding the roof are being infested by termites.

I tested the firmness of the floor and I could feel it is not stable.

Looking at the state of the Surau  and the frequency of utilization,  I discussed with few friends and we are proposing to completely re built the Surau. I personally spoke to the caretaker and both of them agreed if we want to rebuilt it. In fact , there were teary eyes of happiness to this proposal. She ( a 70 year old widower) is not well to do, but has been taking care of the Surau throughout her life.

She is aware of the termites and was very sad if the Surau find its way down.

The Surau is now located on a 30feet x 50 feet land fully fenced.

I told her if we rebuild this it may take about 2 months , hence classes are to be postpone for a while. She said that’s ok and she will inform the Ustaz and the jemaah.

I have managed to get a contractor that agrees to do it and I am now seeking a help from a draughtsman to do the necessary design and layout

The details of the new intended Surau will be as follow. This is not final. It will depend on the amount of money we can raise;

1. Size of the prayer hall 20x30

2. 2 toilets and 1 shower room

3. Ablution for Men and Women

4. Area for babies – ie changing diapers etc

5. A proper drainage and trash bins

6. A basic PA system for azan

7. Basic electrical items like fans n lighting

At the same time I have managed to get a proper caretaker of the Surau to ensure cleanliness.

The estimated costing of the Surau will be around RM 60k to 70k

If we have some extra we will use it to maintain the Surau. 

There is no luxury but the Surau will be very well maintained and serve as a good example of a clean yet practical place.

I am taking this opportunity to appeal to my friends who wants to contribute in rebuilding Surau Haji Ali. A hope from its caretaker, a hope for us to balance our life, a hope that the Surau will be a place that allows our brothers and sisters to perform their obligations..

Life is too short in accumulating good deeds. I believe all of us can do this together...

The next round all of you in Terengganu buying Keropok Lekor, please find our very own Surau Haji Ali.

May Allah bless all of us in this small contribution for the people.

All contributions can be channeled to my account ( I have zerorised this account) or write to me (taufeko@gmail.com) for if anybody wants more details

The construction shall start by mid of sept.
