Jaulah Tarbawiyyah to KOMTAQ

 

Assalamualaikum. 

On 25th Jan, I joined a jaulah to Kompleks Tahfiz Al-Quran Al-Qaradhawi (KOMTAQ) in Temerloh, Pahang. 'Twas on Thursday, public holiday for Thaipusam and since we are very close to the kuil, we were reminded beforehand to plan the route to avoid heavy traffic to the gathering point, PKG. 

So, around 7.15 am i departed from home and was surprised to see the traffic was okay. Good. The bus started off from gombak as planned, at 8 a.m and the committee distributed our breakfast on the bus (bihun goreng sedap+karipap+kuih2 sampingan). Haha there was a lot of food. 

We arrived at 10 am and were escorted to the auditorium. I was amazed and jakun kejap sebab dia punya audi tu adalah for sitting. Nice.

 

We were welcomed with nyanyian nasyid from the students (Banat), welcoming speech from the mudir - YB Ust Kamal (Ahli Parlimen Kuala Krau) 

The speech was touching - Ustaz shared many things on various topics including his experience so far as a member of the parliament. 

Dalam perjuangan, paling penting adalah keikhlasan. Bila duduk dalam jemaah, wajib akur arahan pimpinan. 

Di negara kita, masih ramai orang yang sangat susah sehinggakan guna kain perca (bukan napkin) sebagai kain lampin anak.  

Nak jadi kaya, jangan masuk politik (Almarhum TGNA) 

Close to 12 noon, we wrapped up and took some photos and headed for jalan-jalan sekitar kompleks and lunch. 

I was asked to snap some pics, so i did. 

Off we went to lunch ikan patin (yum yum) 

Lauk ikan patin is something I like and mom used to cook it at home too, patin tempoyak but i have never had pais patin before so this is the time to try it. 

Verdict? Emm, sorry but i dont like the taste so i'll stick with my patin tempoyak but of course i finished it tak baik membazir. 

Full alhamdulillah. 

Next agenda is Jamak Zohor Asar at the mosque and slot with Ustazah Nafisah @ K. Icah. She was our Naqibah in Gombak before she moved here for good, developing and managing this kompleks. 

We dispersed at about 3 pm i think and took last snap of photos. These might be similar pose but different shots haha so i just upload a bunch altogether 

Actually, at the kompleks - there are also pondok moden, the elderly people who stayed there in the individual small houses (pondok) free of charge. They only have to pay for the electrical bills. This kompleks also did not charge any amount to all the students in the early days when it opened but some ppl just took advantage of it - after covid or maybe during the covid, students have to pay fees. 

KOMTAQ is dedicated to produce students who are not only al hafiz and al hafizah but Syahadah Tahfiz Al Quran. They have no academic syllabus except for BM and BI and the youngest student is 10 years old. Those who wanna sit for SPM, they'll have teachers coming to the kompleks to teach. Any disciplinary issues like mencuri, student will be taken to the balai polis and sent home without warning (already mentioned upon registration). 

Last but not least..

I was trying to take a photo with the word komtaq behind but only managed to get the letter Q sebab ramai tengah bergambar okay la

With Wassem, he was a small boy then, following along K Icah to usrah 

5pm bertolak dari kedai borong (forgot the name) and headed back to Gombak. Alhamdulillah safely arrived at 7pm. Traffic was fine and i stopped by at Baker's Cottage and Zus to grab my dinner. 

Iced Shaken Double Espresso less sugar my fav

That's all for now. Bye.
