We did five times a day.


It’s compulsory for muslim to pray five times a day. It is a good therapy where we would find peace and clear our mind to focus on nothing else than Allah.

We must khusyu’ (focus) on doing it.

OK. I CAN do this. I CAN focus. Easy-peasy

Simply a matter of letting my higher self take-over for less than ten minutes. Becoming radiant and achieving enlightenment.

No problem. I’m doing this everyday for more than 10 years.

Surreptitiously I adjust myself on the prayer mat, facing the kiblat, and lift up my hand . Reciting a few surah.

I turn my head to the person beside me. She’s on the Mecca image praying mat sitting crossed leg with her right legs on top of her thigh with eyes closed.

Suddenly, Owh.. that boy in my class.. Sitting few raw in front of me. He turn his head and smile. I think he’s cute.

“Clear your mind, Aishah, clear your mind”

“Allahhuakbar” says the Iman.
Obediently, I place my right hand on top of my left.

OK. Clear mind. Focus..

Clear image of Vogue magazine cross my mind. I love their new limited edition make-up palette from M.A.C. Brown eyeshades!! That color suits with any dress. God, Yes! I could even buy the new foundation and that shimmery eye-liner.

Allahhuakbar” he is saying

Right, Breath in.. breath out… Inhale. Exhale..

God, why do they abundant their babies? People had lost their sense of humanity, do they? Where’s the love people? Where’s the love?

Allahhuakbar” he is saying

Why on earth the price of petrol increase? Does the government take any action towards it?

During the Sujud

Opps! I left my hand phone at home. Yasmin should text me by now and Cent must have reply my previous comment on her Facebook status. They are hilarious! (smiling)

The imam reciting the Syahadah
Can’t wait to meet them back in Kl.


“Asssalamualikumwarrahmatullah” turn my head to the right
I want to eat the fried banana right after this

“Assalamualaikumwarrahmatullah” turn my head to the left
And yes! My mom’s chicken rice is tasty. Can’t wait!!!!!

~End of Solat~

Speak to myself ”Oh my God! Why focusing on Solat is hard to achieve???? I committed loads of sin didn’t I? I should repent more”

Psssttt.. Any tips to share??

  1. I agree, praying gives you peace of mind.

    We're only humans, we're not perfect. So not being able to 'focus' on prayers is OK as long as we put in as MUCH effort to focus. So Allah knows that we tried.

    Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said to focus on ur solat, focus when u take wudhu. =) So clear ur mind when u take wudhu and InsyaAllah, u will focus in ur prayers as well.

  13. hahaha..how come u want to eat fried banana with chicken rice? tat syaitan has distract u terribly.=p
    in my opinion, i think u should mean every single surah tat u read. only then, u will focus on ur solat. *act me, too. tak leh fokus sgt kdg2 dlm solat..asek dok pk. "eh aku tak buat assignment lagi". hahaha
