Friday Night

18 December 2008
Some Muslims read Surah Yaasin once a week
It's the Friday night routine throughout Malaysia

Yaasin is said to be the heart of Al-Qur'an
Some of us understand its significance, as well as its translation

Some of us really utilize the chapter
Some other rarely read it

Some of us speak of it, much or less
Some words on something, but

Do we justify holy verses for our reasonings or
Do we justify our reasonings for holy verses?
