Kuala Terengganu beach & “island”
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Alhamdulillaah, I was able to take some pictures on the beach near our home here in Kuala Terengganu (KT).

Back home in Kuala Terengganu
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Alhamdulillaah, I’ve returned “home” to Kuala Terengganu (KT), which is my wife’s hometown, and I’ve taken it to be my home-away-from home. It’s a beautiful place, especially because we actually live in a kampung, or village, not to far away from the main part of KT. Additionally, compared to Kuala Lumpur (KL), the air here is so much cleaner, fresher, and easier to breathe, alhamdulillaah.
I haven’t gone anywhere notably picture-worthy yet, but I hope I will get a chance to soon, in shaaʾ Allaah. The weather today (after a fierce storm last night) is outstanding, and made me want to shoot some photos with a crystal-clear blue sky background. Maybe another time…;)
If you want to see some photos of KT, just view the Malaysia category and there are plenty in previous posts.
Panorama shots of Kuala Lumpur downtown
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Alhamdulilllaah, there are some outstanding opportunities for views of the downtown Kuala Lumpur skyline from the roof of our apartment here. Some of the shots are clearer than others due to the conditions at the time I took theme. These are my first attempts, as well, so keep that in mind. Click the link to see them!
Back in Malaysia
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Alhamdulillaah, I am back in Malaysia, which means I am also back with
my wife. Words cannot express how much joy the two of us are experiencing being together once again. More than six months have passed since we’d been together the last time. In case it is not obvious, the reason we are not yet able to live together permanently is due to the fact that the U. S. Citizenship & Immigration Services has not yet approved the petition for my wife’s immigration visa, and thus, I cannot legally bring her into the country. Therefore, until such a time as the petition is approved (and the NVC approves the visa, and my wife passes the interview) in shaaʾ Allaah, we will face challenges to living together permanently.
Back from Malaysia
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Alhamdulillaah, I’ve returned safely back from my outstanding and wonderful trip to Malaysia. In all truth, I did not really want to, and I miss my wife terribly. However, Allaah knows better what’s best for us, fa sabrun jameel.
Floating Masjid of Kuala Terengganu

One of the beautiful sites in the city of Kuala Terengganu, the hometown of my wife, is the Floating Masjid, pictured below:
We prayed `asr here a few days back, and naturally, having my camera with me, I snapped a few pictures. Click on the image above to go to the gallery and see more pictures of the masjid.
Malaysia - Part Deux
Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem
Alhamdulillaah, I’ve arrived safely in Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia. The reason for being here, obviously, is to visit my wife as we have yet to receive the green light regarding her immigration. Right now I’m in KLIA, just relaxing and waiting for my next flight, which will take me to Kuala Terengganu, where I will finally be reunited with my wife, in shaa Allaah. Just as an FYI, my wife & I have been physically separated since I left Malaysia on May 19th, after spending only two weeks together after we got married. I’m sure you can imagine how much both of us have been waiting for this time together, walhamdulillaah.
As a refresher, you can see some pictures from my first visit to this beautiful country in my media gallery.
