Masjid Negara (the national mosque)

Assalamualaikum. Hujung minggu lalu, saya tergerak untuk singgah bersolat di Masjid Negara. Ini ceritanya...
Peace be upon you all. Last weekend, I felt like stopping by the national mosque to do my prayers. This is the story...

Asalnya saya tidak mahu mengambil apa-apa gambar. Walaupun hujung minggu itu saya sempat berjalan ke beberapa tempat menarik lain terutama di sekitar Hulu Langat, saya melarang diri saya sendiri daripada mengambil gambar dengan alasan mahu menikmati segala pemandangan tanpa perlu 'dikacau' dengan kamera. Sebaliknya sampai di bahagian masjid ini, terasa rugi pula tidak mengambil gambar...

Originally I didn't want to take any pictures. Although over the weekend I also had the time to visit some interesting places especially around the area of Hulu Langat, I prohibited myself from taking pictures for the reason that I wanted to enjoy all the available sight and views without being 'disturbed' by the camera. Instead when I arrived at this part of the mosque, I felt like it's a big loss if I didn't take pictures...


Maka saya pun mula mengambil beberapa gambar. Lagipun kali terakhir saya singgah bersolat di Masjid Negara adalah mungkin lebih 10 tahun lalu!

And so I began to take a few pictures. Furthermore the last time I stopped by to do my prayers at the national mosque was probably more than 10 years ago!
