Beading Project in Ramadhan

This year, baju raya kami dah settled waaaaay before the Ramadhan month... sangat2 advance! :) I bought them during my previous Bandung trip. Baju Melayu for beloved hubby and son were tailored by hubby's favourite taylor who happened to be a dear friend's eldest sis. And mama and daughter's baju kurung were tailored by my favourite tailor - Kak EsDilla, Medan Mara :) Izzaty requested me to sew some beads on her baju kurung raya. But mama has been so busy.. lots of work at office and at the same time trying my very best to do the recommended acts in Ramadhan. The only free time for me to do beading is on weekends. Baju mama and daughter tahun ni sama ajer.... in term of materials and design... boria la gitu :) So, since I have 2 pasang baju to bead... I decided to make it very, very simple... and Ta-Daaa!!!

Simple ajer kan?

Using teknik 'lingkaran' yang simple kat lengan baju

'Double lingkaran' or also known as 'Lingkaran Kasih' at leher baju

Simple and sweet I hope... :) Tak sabar nak raya!! huhu! But an ustaz said during a kuliah Dhuha at Surau Al Insaf, Menara Maybank "Jangan dok sibuk buat preparation nak sambut Raya aje. Sesungguhnya menyambut Ramadhan itu lebih afdal.... rebutlah peluang berbuat kebaikan di bulan Ramadhan yang mulia ini.. "

Ubadah Bin Somit ra. meriwayatkan bahawa Rasulullah SAW bersabda pada suatu hari ketika Ramadhan hampir menjelang: "Telah datang kepadamu bulan Ramadhan, di mana Allah melimpah ruahkan di dalamnya dengan keberkatan, menurunkan rahmat, mengampuni dosa-dosa kamu, memakbulkan doa-doa kamu, melihat di atas perlumbaan kamu untuk memperolehi kebaikan yang besar dan berbangga mengenaimu di hadapan malaikat-malaikat. Maka tunjukkanlah kepada Allah Taala kebaikan dari kamu. Sesungguhnya orang yang bernasib malang ialah dia yang dinafikan daripada rahmat Allah pada bulan ini."

Semoga kita tidak terlalu leka dengan urusan duniawi di bulan yang mulia ini. May Allah give us the strength, the patience, commitment and determination to multiply our efforts to improve our amalan and ibadah in this holy month of Ramadhan... Ameen.
