PAFA

Perkara Asas Fardhu Ain - PAFA

Yup...the very same that will be tested on UPSR candidates = Opi!!

Thank God for the beauty of internet, I managed to have a "book" on what will be tested, which ones will be done on amali basis and what to memorise. But as a parent, I am still risau with all these examination's requirement. So he has PAFA....he also has PEKA, ntha apa maksud the acronym la but someting gotta do with some Science projects. This part I tak worry sangat cause (from what I googled), the 'projects' will be given some time to prepare at home. Which directly translated to ..... Mummy will be doing the test/experiment/project. But then again, we cannot be too sure about all these....

Coming back to PAFA...I looked through all the 13 Kod...very basic, the very fundamentals of Islamic knowledge like mengucap, rukun Islam, rukun Iman, sembahyang and so on. Semua orang Islam patut tau, betul tak?

Apparently not.

Case in point - we went to KLCC on Friday 9th January 2009 as Hubby wanted to buy himself a pair of working shoes. His requirement very simple - basic and comfy....nothing fancy, nothing grand. So we went around to a few shops and at around 8:15pm, we stepped into Z*ra for Men kat lower ground floor.

Baru masuk, tengah dok belek2 some stuff, tetiba Hubby came and grabbed my arms "jom, let's get out". Aku pun blur2 lah and then Hubby turned around to one (melayu) male SA and told him off....

"Hey...kenapa letak the sign to say pig's lining tu kat belakang kasut?! You all should letak kat depan so muslims do not have to tersalah pegang"

The SA just smirked, shrugged off and turned around as if nothing happened.

Hah...tu dia...that set off my pissed-off mode lah...aku pun apa lagi, terus pusing balik to the SA and said, "you jangan turn your face away, show some respect to my husband. He's talking to you and oh...stop pulling faces at me!"

I stormed off to the counter, demanding to talk to the manager who conveniently was not around. Don't they all??

The female cashier (also a melayu) listened to my story and tried her damnest to explain.

"Akak pegang dalam ke luar kasut sebab yg pig's lining tu kat dalam aje, kalau pegang luar...takpe...tak salah.."

I was stumped for words.

Are you trying to get technical with me???

Kulit babi hukumnye HARAM. Period.

Peduli apa aku kat luar or kat dalam.

The point is - you guys put the sign at the back. Why??

I give up.

There is a very good reason why PAFA is mandatory..............
