on selawat ke atas Junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad

Balik dari sekolah on Monday, Lydia told us that there were a lot of wild monkeys near the daycare centre. The nite before, memang ada keluar kat news, under segment 'Aduan Rakyat', yang lately banyak sangat monyet2 liar berkeliaran kat area2 Sementa, Klang. Apparently those monkeys demanded more than bananas. Monyet2 ni berani bertindak sampai memasuki rumah penduduk, and they were not scared of people since diorang lebih ramai.

I was quite worried. So was Lydia. So dia bagitau pasal tu, dia kata semua orang dok je dalam rumah and just watched the monkeys from far. then she continued,

"Lydia diam je masa tgk monyet2 tu. dalam hati, Lydia baca selawat.."

"kenapa?" aku tanya balik

"sebab Lydia takut, teringat dalam tv. pastu, lydia baca la selawat, mak kan kata, bila kita takut, baca je selawat banyak2.."

uummm.. yup I did told her that. I told her when i was small, our house was hit by twister (i hv an entry about this), since then i was afraid every time its raining, so my mom selalu suh berselawat utk tenangkan hati yang resah gelisah tu .. so even until now.. am still scared and even worse now after series of natural disaster.

so ok, fair lah dia takut kat monyet2 yg ganas, dia baca selawat, kan?

now i need to send another messge to her, baca selawat bukan cuma masa takut sahaja, tapi amalan yg baik bila2 masa sahaja, sebagai zikir .. (ok, reminder to self)

I dont know if she can take it, tapi no harm to do, right?
