Last holiday, I went to Pangandaran Beach with my family except my sister. she is very busy with his activities at the campus. So my best friend  named Ajeng joined me on holiday with my family to replace my sister. We went to Pangandaran because my father got an invitation from his workplace to vacation with all his colleagues. We leave Friday at 11 pm by bus and We arrived at 3 pm.

Boscha Observatory

Haiiii people!!! Me and my friend, Raisa, have a recommended place to visit. It's Boscha Observatory. Curious? Go check out the video on:

Kaʿbah also spelled Kaaba is a small shrine located near the center of the Great Mosque in Mecca and considered by Muslims everywhere to be the most sacred spot on Earth. The foundation of Ka’bah is made from marble. The thickness of marble is 25 cm at least. Kaaba is the first building on the earth which is used as a qiblat in Moslem prayer piety so that Kaaba become a center building in Masjidil Haram. Then, Kaaba is the most sacred site in Islam and all of Moslem around the world face the Kaaba during prayer, no matter where they are. Muslims orient themselves toward this shrine during the five daily prayers, bury their dead facing its meridian, and cherish the ambition of visiting it on pilgrimage, or hajj, in accord with the command set out in the Qurʾān.

The cube-shaped structure is roughly. Constructed of gray stone and marble, it is oriented so that its corners roughly correspond to the points of the compass. The interior contains nothing but the three pillars supporting the roof and a number of suspended silver and gold lamps. 

Kaaba has a shutter wall, it is kiswah. 
Kiswah is made from gold thread and is adorned with Al-Qur’an calligraphy. During most of the year, the Kaʿbah is covered with an enormous cloth of black brocade, the kiswah. Every wall corner of Kaaba has a name. The north side is Rukun Iraqi (Irak), the south side is Rukun Yamani (Yaman), the west side is Rukun Syami (Suriah) and the east side is Rukun Aswad (Hajar Aswad)

Located in the eastern corner of the Kaʿbah is the Black Stone of Mecca, whose now-broken pieces are surrounded by a ring of stone and held together by a heavy silver band. According to tradition, this stone was given to Adam on his expulsion from paradise in order to obtain forgiveness of his sins. Legend has it that the stone was originally white but has become black by absorbing the sins of the countless thousands of pilgrims who have kissed and touched it.

one of part from Kaaba is Hijr Ismail. Hijr Ismail is located in the north side of Ka’bah. It is covered by a short wall (Al-Hatim) and it is circle shape. Hijr Ismail is the foundation of Ibrahim’s family. In this place, many people who do Hajj or umrah piety do sunnah prayer directly because Hijr Ismail is a good place to pray.

All of Moslem who do Hajj or umrah have to around the Ka’bah seven times, it is called tawaf, during which he kisses and touches the Black Stone. When the month of pilgrimages (Dhuʾl-Hajj) is over, a ceremonial washing of the Kaʿbah takes place; religious officials, as well as pilgrims, take part.

During Muhammad’s early ministry, the Kaʿbah was the qiblah, or direction of prayer, for the Muslim community. After the Muslim migration or Hijrah, to Medinah, the qiblah briefly switched to Jerusalem before returning to the Kaʿbah. When Muhammad’s forces conquered Mecca in 630, he ordered the destruction of the pagan idols housed in the shrine and ordered it cleansed of all signs of polytheism. The Kaʿbah has since been the focal point of Muslim piety.

Yasmin: Hi Raisa! My holiday plan is to keep learning about lessons and live the day as usual. But sometimes maybe I will play with my two best friends.
Raisa: How diligent you are.

Raisa: Wow! how far it is. My grandma's house is on Cilengkrang, I can get there by motorcycle. Hey, sorry but I have to go, see you later!

A Gratefull Moment

I've experienced something to be grateful for. I am so grateful to have a mother who always takes care of me, and loves me wholeheartedly. Although she has many problems, she always puts me first and sacrifices a lot for me. Once one night I stayed up for work, my mother looked worried and told me to wear a jacket or blanket. But I refused her advice, because I was lazy to get my jacket. At first my mother kept quiet while watching me occasionally. Then suddenly my mother held out my jacket. There I am very grateful that I have a mother who still cares about me even though she is often busy. I was so moved that I wanted to cry. But I held back my tears and thanked my mother. As long as I wear a jacket, I keep thinking about my mother's love for me. Thank you mom, no words can symbolize how grateful I am to God for having you become my mother.

I also feel grateful to have a father who always spoil me, and sacrifice many things for me. During my life until now, I hardly ever see his tears. He is patient, joking, and never mad at me. He also always sacrifices his feelings or desires for others. One day he was almost late for work, but he still took the time to take me to school. I was deeply touched by the fact that my father was more concerned with me and accepted the risk that he would be scolded by his boss if he was late. My father is my hero, I love him!
