Abu Hurairah (r.a.) reported Allah’s Messenger (s.a.w.s.) as saying: “Charity does not in any way decrease the wealth and the servant who forgives, Allah adds to his respect; and the one who shows humility, Allah elevates him in the estimation (of the people).” (Muslim)
"Can you tell me why do i have to do this one more time?, with a small sign of regret in his face, the man with the tie at his right gave a giggle, "Danial, this is a rehearsal for the wedding party, & as a host selected by the groom himself, you should be honored. It's not easy to see your best friend getting married". Without thinking, he grabbed the microphone & babbling about some of the darkest secrets they kept for each other. The audience let the groom running for his life with their laughters, catching the culprit who's holding the microphone. Danial ran out the hall, trying to find a better hiding spot, suddenly, "Salam, Danial. Looks like you've been busy especially being one of you're favorite role, the man with the mic", "Amirah, good you're here, the flower arrangements are unsupervised. See to it that it is attended, thanks for your help", he walked pass her as if nothing happen.
After solat A'sar, he went out with the group of waiters to finish the last touchings for the decorations. While the long walk down the corridor, he remembered the last conversation with her which was with Kamal also. "Salam, both of you. Thank you for everything Danial, because of your presence which we're destined to meet before this by Allah, i'm what i'm now. Thanks Kamal for the knowledge, maybe i will get through this test smoothly, InsyaAllah. See you both next time if Allah made it as our future. Salam....", he reminiscing the words which really gave some motivation to make his change, his hijrah a successful one. "Ok, now let's now gather our attention to the bride & groom which had just arrived with the recitation of selawat....", "Great, thats a good posture & tone of voice, just give a little deeper version of it, so that you get their full focus...", tips from the mother of the groom, Shafiq, made the host a temporary star.
The day where it all began, everyone made preparations for the arrival of the guests, especially for the 'very important person', setting the tables by the reasonable-fee hired caterers, the PA systems by the hotel itself, & the host for the day. With the music which themed by classic malay songs, & some Islamic based rhythms, the hall was lively set up & the decorations made a great aura of malay culture. Everyone wore nice clothes, which none of them made any offensive appearance, while the the band which was brought in also insisted wearing a full suit of the malay traditional outfit. "Salam, wow. You look dashing, wearing the that outfit, i kinda like the image you brought out with the keris at your waist, really traditional. Actually, who's party this is for?", "Salam, nice joke Amirah, well as the host, the green & the suit were requested by the couple themselves. So, do not criticize that much", smiles made a happy welcome for both of them.
"Doing this as charity? It's too much, you said you're going to give a little", "Come on, Shafiq, it's a gift because i didn't came for your recitation of your nikah, please take it, sincerely from my parents & i", with a smirk, he put the cheque into his hand. "Alright, but i will help you out for yours, ok, Kamal?", "Sure, buddy". The jubah clothing man moved across the hall to the given table where he sat himself with the groups of friends which were school-related people with the groom. "What do you know about the bride?", "Well she's also a medical student who he met on his journey there in egypt", "Wow, that's great, both doctors, sure lead a busy life", they talked their way through the boredom & took some pictures for making a chain of unforgettable memories. "Now, let's move our attention to the bride & groom........
