MY COZY SPOT (space-order paragraph)


In my hometown, when I felt bored, I usually went to the public library, which is comfortable and has complete facilities. The public library is located in the center of the town. Across the library there is a Catholic Church. After we enter the library gate, we will look at a big tree that looks very shady. Beside the tree there is a notice board. Then on the left of the board is the library's door. In the hall we can find kindly staffs who always be ready to help us. On the right side of the hall we will find locker where we can save our things safely. Behind the locker there is a bookcase that displays new books on the left side. And on the right side is a multimedia room where we can access the internet freely. Behind the multimedia room is the library itself where we can find books. The library room is divided into three parts;there are a large room that contains so many bookcases, a reference room, and entertainment room where we can watch TV or movie. Beside that, we can find a cafetaria and musholla in the back yard of the library. In short, library is the most comfortable place when I feel bored.

 In Islam we know that there are five basic things called the five pillars of Islam. The first is Syahadat. Syahadat is declaration that we believe in only one God, Allah SWT, and Muhammad is the last messenger of Allah SWT. The second is sholat. We are obliged to do sholat five times a day; they are Subuh, Dhuhur, Ashar, Maghrib, and Isya'. The next pillar of Islam is fasting. The compulsory fasting that we must do is Ramadhan fasting. The fourth pillar is zakat. Zakat is something that must be paid to eight classes of people who are mentioned in holy Qur'an. The last pillar of Islam is hajj for who can afford it. Hajj is pilgrimage to Mecca. In conclusion, all the five pillars of Islam must be done by all muslims.
