puasa/ sembahyang terawih

after a day of puasa, sembahyang terawih is a powerful antidote, although it's tiring, i am beginning to enjoy the nightly sembahyang terawih and feel letdown when i didn't do it last night. it is a substitute for the early morning teh tarik at the warong. sembahyang ishak, terawih and then witir, it makes you feel good at the end of it just wish that allah had gerakkan my heart to practise this before, alas it's not too late, am determined to continue doing it from tonight till the end of ramadan.i of course rely on my good friend from this kamping, sidek, to ferry me to and from the surau where the terawih is only 8 rakaat compared to the 20 at the mosque.the best part is the quran recitation and the salallah handshaking at the end, it makes you feel that you are part of the community, much better than doing the ritual at home on your own.
i have been trying to memorise surah al-ala and whenever it's recited during terawih , i feel a tingle of excitement following the recital, almost cracked it now, moving on to surah addhuha next.
