What is Ramadan

| Friday, August 5, 2011 | 0 comments

STUDY ISLAM - This is an introduction to a Ramadan, the Holy month of Muslim's society all over the world, and the month of fasting. During the blessed month of Ramadan, Muslims all over the world abstain from food, drink, and other physical needs during the daylight hours. As a time to purify the soul, refocus attention on God, and practice self-sacrifice, Ramadan is much more than just not eating and drinking. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars of the religion of Islam and one of the highest forms of Islamic worship. Abstinence from earthly pleasures and curbing evil intentions and desires is regarded as an act of obedience and submission to God as well as an atonement for sins, errors, and mistakes.

Muslims fast as an act of faith and worship towards Allah, seeking to suppress their desires and increase their spiritual piety. Therefore, the command to fast is addressed only to those who believe, as Allah says in surah Al-Baqarah 2:183 :

O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you As it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint, [QS. Al-Baqarah 2:183]
Someone who does not have faith, will not be called by this verse. Without any faith, a Muslim may not be able to fast.

| Thursday, August 4, 2011 | 0 comments

SUDY ISLAM - To improve the quality of the fasting month of Ramadan, and to achieve devotion in every human being who believe, there are things that should be done in this glorious month.

1. Avoid all the body of all sorts of behaviors that are forbidden. Including our heart. Because if the heart has begun to turn to sinners, then its influence would penetrate into the entire body.
The Prophet said: "Fasting is a shield, then the fasting person should not say rafats (dirty words) and not being stupid. If there are people who fight and scream at him, he should say 'actually I'm fasting' two times." [HR. Bukhari, Muslim]
"Whosoever does not leaving the false speech and bad deeds, then God does not need (to fast) in his leaving the eat and drink."
[narrated by Bukhari]

2. Increasing generosity. Within of this glorious months, encouraged to multiply infaq, loves the weak, connecting ties and be gentle with the family.

3. Gives Iftar to someone fasting, although only a grain of dates and a sip of water. Prophet said: "Whoever gives Iftar to someone fasting, then he will get a reward like that obtained by the fasting person, without reducing the reward of the fasting person." [narrated by Tirmidhi]

4. Sahoor, Sahoor is sunnah even though only a sip of water, because in every meal there is a blessing from Allah SWT. Our beloved prophet says: do sahoor, because there is a blessing in it.[HR. Bukhari, Muslim]

5. Preferred to end the meal (in sahoor) until near dawn. If the meal was worried about the coming of dawn, then the more important for him to leave the meal.

6. Immediately break the fast. If you are sure that the sun has set, then it is advisable breaking the fast immediately.

7. Breaking the fast by eating fresh dates (ruthab), and if not there, with dried dates. if not there is also, then just a few sips of water.
As has been done by the prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Anas ibn Malik reported: "Allah's Apostle often break the fast with fresh dates (ruthab), if no ruthab, then he is breaking the fast with dried dates (tamar), if there were no tamar then he drank a gulp of water." [narrated by Ahmad and Abu Dawud]

8. Prayed in times of iftar, with the prayer taught by the prophet Muhammad (pbuh), He said: "There are 3 people who will not be denied his prayers: a fair leader, the fasting person until break their fast, and the prayers of the oppressed." [narrated by Ibnu Majah]

9. Passed the time by seeking knowledge, reading Al Qur'an and dhikr. because the Qur'an was revealed during the month of Ramadan.

10. I'tikaf. the silence in the mosque. These good deeds can be done anytime, but better if done in the month of Ramadan. and even better if done in the last 10 days of Ramadan.

If those things we can implement, then our fasting would be perfect, so it gets the reward and kept away from the fire of hell, ameen.

Study Islam About Fasting

| Tuesday, August 2, 2011 | 0 comments

STUDY ISLAM - Fasting is a pure worship of Allah Almighty God, and not associated with others. Therefore, in a Hadith Qudsi mentioned that, Allah Almighty God himself would later give reward to those who perform the fasting.

In a form of worship, others people can be a witness. Unlike fasting, no one can ascertain whether someone does fasting or not. This is so special about fasting, can not physically known. Compare with shalah (prayers), everyone can see when one's shalah, as well as the Hajj, all neighbors know if someone perform the Hajj. While fasting? even the closest neighbors were may not be aware if someone is doing fasting.

Fasting is really a test for every person who run it, the extent of one's faith in Allah Almighty, the extent of one's sincerity to do worship to Allah Almighty God. Because fasting should be based on the faith, and also must have the feeling that there is a Supreme Essence Oversees who always pay attention to our every movement. So is the consequence, if the ethics of fasting that is holding all break the fast is violated without udzur/reason justified by the Shari'ah, then he himself will suffer the consequences.
