Tilawahton 2008

Tilawahton 2008 was a commendable achievement for NYPMS Network. It was another spiritual event organized by our own members. Motivated by the success of the Tilawah segment featured in our Iftar 2008, Tilawahton 2008 was born to instill and foster the habit of Quran reading and appreciate the beauty of the Quran.

Conducted on 13th Dec 2008, it was gratifying to spend Saturday morning together at Al Khair Mosque in remembrance of Allah SWT. We started promptly at 10am with the short opening speech followed by the Tilawah segment. It was especially momentous that we are able to recite the Quran verses and sing Qasidah together.

We had a reflection session led by Bro Asyraf and Bro Syaheer. It brought most of us to tears as we recollect and regret on our past actions and gratitude towards Allah SWT. The lights were turned off, instilling a greater sense of remorse and repentance. After the tilawah, we had fun Ice Breaker games followed by Zuhur prayers.

A sumptuous lunch prepared us for the tazkirah shared by Sis Huda and Bro Azmi. Bro Azmi spoke about “Achieving Concentration during Prayers” while Sis Huda shared with us “Evils of the Heart”. The session initiated favourable responses from the participants whom shared their knowledge and experience relating to the subject in hand. Due to time constraint, we were unable to prolong the discussion further. We then played ball games. After Asar prayers, we closed the event. Alhamdulillah, the event was a success.

We would like to thank the participants for spending your time with us. It was great to have our fellow compatriots from the other Muslim Societies joining us in such a memorable event. We hope you had benefited from our event and increased the ukhwah among the brothers and sisters. Do support us in our future events, Insyallah. =)
