Exam question

Dear Dani,

Thanks for your letter and it was lovely to receive your letter. Well, my favourite day of the week is
Friday, which is a glorious day in Islam.

The reasons I like Friday is because according to the hadith there are so many virtues of Friday. The best
day for the sun to appear is Friday. On Friday Adam was created, on that day Adam was put into heaven,
and there is no end of the world except on Friday. Friday is also the time for us to get a lot of reward
with dhikr, sholawat, and prayers.

On Fridays, my family and I usually set aside a little money for charity because Friday is a special day for
charity. The pleasure I feel on Friday is not about worldly matters but about the hereafter. Besides that I
also like to clean myself like cutting my nails on Friday because that is the sunnah Rasul. On Friday, I also
prayed more prayers and forgiveness from Allah swt. For me, my favorite day is not a day to relax but a
day where we and others can feel happy and feel blessed.

That’s all my reasons for my favourite day. Please write back soon. Take care.

Love,

Sakhila
