Pernahkah pemandu teksi bertazkirah kepada anda,bak Imam Muda Asyraf?
Pesan Seorang
Saya:Sesak jalan malam ni ye pakcik.
Pakcik:Ada kemalangan kat situ dik(sambil sebuah bas RapidKL terperangkap di situ)
Saya:Malam minggu pun pakcik,ramai orang keluar.
Pakcik:Jangan ikut orang sangat dik.Yang penting ke mana-mana kita pergi jaga solat...
Simple,tetapi mendalam.Itulah pesan orang tua yang dipandang sebelah mata oleh si muda.Itulah amanat yang saya terima daripada bapa,dan ijazah yang saya perolehi dari Uncle di Gunung Stong.Pasca program BeReS (Bengkel Remaja Super),ia merupakan satu tazkirah penyegar jiwa saya yang sering alpa.Betapa dalam kemeriahan pengkisahan keajaiban Israk Mikraj di bulan Rejab ini,sudahkan kita menilai KPI solat kita?
