A Brief Encounter with the Angkasawan Dato' Dr.Sheikh Muszaphar@An-Nur Mosque Sibu Sarawak 29Aug'2008

Day 2 in Sibu during the Audit visit. Friday 29 Aug'2008.

I was taken by the Pusat GiatMARA manager Mr.Mat J*** to perform the Friday prayers at the An-Nur Mosque in Sibu.Before the start of the Friday sermon, in came 2 men from the main entrance to the front saf to perform the solat sunat.

It was the Angkasawan, Dato' Dr.Sheikh Muszaphar! The Dr. had flew in from Semenanjong to become the guest of honour of several functions organized by the mosque, school and associations.

After he had finished performing the solat sunat (I was too) and as he walks towards the entrance, I approached him, introduced myself "Assalamualaikum Doc, I'm ***lan from Putrajaya", the friendly Dr. replied my salam, shook hands, he said something and took picture.

After the Friday prayers the congregation (jemaah) gathered around him to shake hands (bersalam).Alhamdullilllah, it didn't occurred to me that I had to fly all the way from Putrajaya to Sibu to get the chance to meet him.:-)

All the way Doc & May Allah Bless You!
