“Sometimes the journey itself becomes the ibadah - every mile travelled a quiet zikr of gratitude...”
On the Road with the Qur’an and Terawih
(01 - 10 March 2026)
The first ten days of Ramadhan slipped by quietly, filled with the rhythm of verses and shared intention. I joined Masjid At-Taiyibbin tadarus circle - just four of us in my group, gathering each day to recite the Qur’an together. There is something deeply comforting about reading in unison, correcting and encouraging one another softly, without much words.
By the tenth day, we had completed 25 juzuk. A collective effort, a shared amanah.
Today is the 11th of Ramadhan, my final day with the group. They will continue with the remaining five juzuk without me. I leave them with gratitude in my heart, thankful for the companionship, striving for the same divine reward in the hereafter.
As in previous years, dear hubby and I will soon set off on our annual Kembara Ramadhan - ten days on the road with our trusty four-wheeler. This journey has quietly become a tradition for us. A moving sanctuary of sorts.
This year, our plan is simple yet ambitious, to perform our terawih prayers in mosques across the states of West Malaysia, with the exception of Negeri Sembilan, Penang and Perlis. Along the way, we hope to stop at several other mosques - some grand and well-known, others modest and tucked away in small towns, each with its own story, its own congregation, its own warmth.
Ramadhan feels different when you experience it on the road. Every night brings a new imam, a new recitation, a new community standing shoulder to shoulder. Yet the purpose remains the same - seeking His mercy, His forgiveness, His nearness.
As we prepare to depart, I carry with me the echoes of the Qur’an from our tadarus circle, hoping they will accompany us through every state, every mosque, every sujud.
Ramadhan Mubarak - wherever the road may lead us.
