Jalan Jalan cari Mesjid - Part 1 : Fujeirah

Beautiful pictures as captured by Sdr ZBA - Here.

The 'summer bachelor' decided to fill up his free time with spiritual activities. He wants this summer to be marked with a Hijrah into the second inning, on a winning streak. One reason is because he is afraid of himself. A close friend once said to him, "We have to protect you....not from enemies....but from yourself!" So true. To protect myself from myself, I shared with my friends a plan to spend Fridays in July to 'Jalan-jalan UAE membina mencari Mesjid!'

Two 'summer bachelor' friends and two 'friends with limited visit visa from their wives' joined my son Ad and I today - exploring Fujeirah. Our target today was to stop at seven Mosques and offer prayers at each one. We did just that, including a stop at the 562 year old Al-Bidyah Mosque.

Below is KP in prayer at our second stop over. Most mosques in UAE do not normally have names.

Above, At the fifth Mosque - Hasnol was seen taking a break from Fujeirah's melting temperature to check for latest news from Malaysia's political melting pots. Below, the beautiful Mosque on the Corniche where we performed Jumaat Prayer.

Above, at the Friday market on Dhaid road. We can go bananas with so many fresh fruits on offer at low prices. I bought some Rambutans, and the fruits were as fresh as any found along Malaysian's highways.

Below, captured moments of rejoicing at the end of the trip - at Nik's abode. We were treated to delicious fried Macaroni and ever so refreshing 'Iced cold Longan drink'. Thank you NiK for being so gracious with your hospitality.

While enjoying the food, we were already talking with excitement and anticipation about next week's trip. We may go into top gear next week - if an idea suggested by KP is to materialize. Next week, we may go Al Ain and Abu Dhabi! If there are others who are keen to join this expedition, please let anyone of us know.
On the trip were: Mr ZBA, Hasnol, Adie = click their names to go to their blogs, and also Imran dan KP ( both have no blogs ).
