stumbled on MASJID PUTRA NILAI, NS on way back after Chess Competition, JAMMA' TAKHIR



( Signage at Mosque Entrance )

( Beside Putra Nilai Mosque Dome & Minaret, view from side Parking Lot )


Faiz and I went to a chess competition for the first time at Nilai University, NS. It was also an opportunity to check-out the venue which is being used for fencing training. The prize-giving ceremony ended around 8pm and Faiz received RM50 - the prize for 20th place out of more than 160 players. We were very hungry by then and wanted to immediately go for dinner at the nearby Nilai town.

( 20th in U12 )

On the way to dinner though, Faiz stumbled or saw the minaret of a mosque behind some shoplots we were passing by and requested that we go to the mosque first since we've not performed our prayers. There were no signage going to the mosque (most probably we did not see one because it was dark) and ended up going in a different direction before making a u-turn.

I was quite pleasantly surprised to discover a 'vibrant' mosque with many people going in and out, a presumably new year's ceramah taking place coupled with a wedding preparations taking place in one of the mosque's room/hall. After prayers, we decided to distribute our Islamic Estate Planning flyers to the jemaah. Hopefully, we have a new client for Qiblah Consulting's Islamic Advisory business.

BERBUKA @Islamic Kitchen - Bangi, Selangor DE.


Our FIRST FRIDAY Prayers at Masjid DR. MOHAMMAD HJ. EUSOFF TEH - Pedas, NS



( Khutbah about to Start )


( After Friday Prayers )




( Masjid Dr. Hj. Mohammad Eusoff Teh, Pedas - Negeri Sembilan )



On the way to Melaka we decided to exit the Pedas-Linggi exit in search of a mosque for Friday prayers as we were running late for our intended destination near the Simpang Ampat exit.

Earlier, OP Zaidi had already WA me to inform that I can either turn left or right after exiting the toll house as there should be a mosque within distance. Upon checking with the female toll operator at the toll booth as to whether to turn left or right for the nearest mosque she suggested turning left, which led us to the mosque for the first time.

An Errand @Masjid AL-HIDAYAH, Kg.Sg.Penchala - KL



After having Beef Nachos @Gringos Food Truck, we had an errand to perform at nearby Sg.Penchala and decided to pay a visit to the MASJID AL-HIDAYAH, Kampung Sungai Penchala - KL. The mosque was almost empty save for a team trying to put up a canopy within its compounds.

We only knew about this mosque when we met one of the mosque's benefactors during Umrah 2013.

Nachos @Gringos FoodTruck - TTDI

 ( Nachos for RM13 )


There are 2 or 3 Food Trucks in TTDI offering Nachos. Thus far, the Nachos at Gringos is the best we've tasted. Ask for extra cheese and fried onions and eat with mustard.

Subuh at AL ALAMI Mosque - MELAKA


( After Subuh Prayers on Monday Morning )

Despite passing by the Al Alami mosque numerous times, only today i.e. 15 Ramadhan 1437H did we manage to perform Subuh prayers at the mosque. The audible Azan heard from the room in nearby Kobemas Hotel made it imperative that we go there for Subuh Berjemaah. There were 2 and a quarter saf in attendance.
