HOW MUSLIM LIVE IN THE MONTH OF RAMADAN
The fast month of Ramadan for this year 1438 H. [2017/ ] has passed by, and the result of the fast as good Muslim still with us forever. To see how a Muslim live his everyday life in the Ramadan month we take the opportunity to translate and condense Dr. H. Muhammad Th’s article for our reader to read and enjoy it.
He wrote:
“As a
Muslim he woke up about at 3.00 a.m. Although he felt sleepy and very tired, encourage
by his strong faith and sincerity he weak up from the bed and walked to bath
room to clean his mouth, washed his face or take ablution. He may straight away
took his Sahur what is available, than
prayed Midnight Prayer [Tahajud] and
continue to read or learn Al-Quran while waiting for time for Morning Prayer [Solat
Subuh].
Or he may
firstly Pray Tahajud, than took his Sahur what is available while waiting for
the time for Morning Prayer [Solat Subuh], meanwhile he read or learn Quran. He
do all that with the willingly heart
and high spirit because he believe what he has done is like by Allah and done
by his Prophet Muhammad SAW.
After that he
goes to the mosque to pray Morning Prayer congregation with other people or
pray at home with his family. After finished Morning Prayer and zikrillah [utterance
the name of Allah fully], the Muslim may play aerobic, or learn the new
knowledge, or again read or learn to understand the verses of the Quran or may
lay and rest for a while.
At about
7.00 pm he was ready to continue his duty for the day, to learn new knowledge,
work to earn his living in permissible way or do another activity. In all he did
all the things with purposely in the frame to devotion to Allah and to look for
His resigned [redha].
He left the
house with one question what he can do the other people, his society and his
state. He did not hope other people or society to give him something for
himself. He left the house with provision of affection love to his friends and
surrounding his life. He left the house with full of hope to Allah to face the
reality of life and with hard intention to do something to correct the
environment and he did not felt frustrated or lament about it.
As a Muslim
who has intention in his heart to fast with full of faith and sincerely for
Allah, he went out from the house that day, or stay in his house, he do all his
human duty with firm, wide, sincere,
clear and patient provision of spirit and mental.
Surely when
his left house he took with him the excellent and praises of provision of
mental because he has pray midnight humbly
last night. In the silent night he has drunk the vitamin and medicine for
strong and good nutrient food for his soul that is read Quran.
His praying
and reading Quran has given him with calm and stable soul.
On his way back
that day he will face many atmosphere and problems but he could answer all of
them with positive respond that will bring good for all. He did his work with
high dedication, orderly and clean. He did all with tenacious and honest.
Although successful
he did not egoistic, on the contrary became more near to Allah and thankful to
Him. On the contrary failure did not make him lost hope and frustrated for long
times, but make him know how to correct himself and to higher his connection
with Allah and always beg\ for help from Him.
If someone
broke his heart or heat his personality, he will stop his furious, be sincere
and thoroughly be friendly with the man as usual for Allah. If someone needed
his help, he will help him with sincere and with full heart. If someone in
difficulty, he will find the way to less it as far as he can do it.
On his way
home that day, he endure his hungry and thirsty with patience. If he saw
someone weakly on the edge of the road, he will give some money to the man fumbled
from his pocket.
For such
Muslim there is no indifferent and egoistic in his dictionary of life. He has
felt the fang of hunger and thirsty from
morning to evening. The poor had to felt more hunger and thirsty, and may me
added with the cool or hot of the day and did not know when he will free from
that uncomfortable environment and when he will break his fast.
He always carefully
kept his heart so that his heart is always open, wide and clean. As a fasting
man he always remembered Allah and uttered His name, and remembered Allah The
Almighty, and His bounty, His Guide, although he always busy and with his
various activity. He did all that only for Allah and what is done by the
Prophet SAW.
When he
arrived at his home there was a refrigerator
that was fill with drinks, fresh fruits, and foods, though he never seduced by
it. It is very easy for him to control himself and his lust, because he is
fasting only for Allah. He always remembered Allah. Allah always sees him.
Allah always led him and always rated
him.
He waited
the time to break his fast in a good way. He thank Allah and break his fasting He fell that no drink more enjoyable than the
drink he break fasting and no food that so bounty than the food he eat during
the breaking of his fasting. He took his
food
moderately and did not full his belly with food and in that way his body become
more firmly and his mental is more efficient. After Maghrib Prayer, if he did
not have anything to do, he will reread Quran, and learn its meaning and ponder
about its wisdom while waiting for the time for night prayer [Isyak].
He gave
life to the night of Ramadan with Tarawih Prayer, read Quran or did charity
work.
After that
he went to sleep with the strong intention to wake up at midnight, about 3.00
am to continue, and redo what his had done every night during the month of
Ramadan.
That is
more or less to show, day by day how a Muslim took his path in the month of
Ramadan. It show that fasting is not a type of body suffering but it is a mean
to practice how to control oneself to
make his minds to be the BOSS and his desire to be his SLAVE, not otherwise
his mind become the SLAVE while his
desire become the BOSS.
We thank
you for read the above writing and we hoped
that you will get some benefit from it.
