A Beautiful Night – A Poem By Ahmad Ali Karim

Illustrated by Ahmad Ali Karim

A beautiful night,
With a full moon,
Round and shinning,
Like a big, bright balloon.

A beautiful night,
Quiet and peaceful,
Looking at the moonlight,
Makes me so cheerful.

A beautiful night,
With gleam of moonlight,
Now it’s time to sleep,
So, I’ll say, “Good night”.

Light In The Night

We are searching for a light,

In the night,

But somebody saw a star,

From the car.

Last Saturday night we had dinner at ‘Ayam Penyet’ Restaurant in Wangsa Walk with Aunty Selina.

On the way home we were looking at the full moon.

Suddenly I got an idea to write this poem 🙂

I told Uncle Awang Goneng about this when he came for tea at my house 😉

Tahlil At Jiddah’s House

Last night was the last tahlil at Jiddah’s house.

Jiddah is my father’s mother.

Her name is Wan Rahimah bt Wan Ngah.

Jiddah passed away 3 days ago.

We had tahlil for 3 nights.

There were lots of people at the tahlil.

At the tahlil I sat with my father.

The tahlil started after Isyak.

I read Al- Fatihah, Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas, Al- Fatihah, Al- Baqarah, La illaha illah (100 times), doa and doa again.

Next I ate nasi minyak and some kuih.

The tahlil ended late at night.
