INTRODUCTION
The holy month of Ramadan in 2013 will end soon arrived, and religious nuances of worship and celebration of the feast of Eid al-Fitr Muslims began to be felt. Spirit of worship and purity of heart which always develops in the holy month slowly but surely began to be felt in the midst of society. Naturally when, one after another of the various terms associated with both starting lively discussion.

The enthusiasm was so great that the Muslims towards the arrival of the holy month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr feast day is reasonable. Imagine, this month has thousands of privileges and blessings bring millions.

إذا كان أول ليلة من رمضان صفدت الشياطين ومردة الجن, وغلقت أبواب النار فلم يفتح منها باب, وفتحت أبواب الجنان فلم يغلق منها باب ونادى مناد: ياباغي الخير أقبل, وياباغي الشر أقصر, والله عتقاء من النار وذلك كل ليلة

"When the first night of Ramadan has arrived, all the devils and jinn haunting in shackles. All the doors of Hell are closed, no one pintupun is still open. Instead, all the doors of Paradise are opened, and no one pintupun closed. More than that, there is a caller said. 'O seeker of goodness hurry and O seeker of evil give it up. And on every night God freed his slaves in part from the threat of hellfire "[HR, at-Tirmidhi and others]

Eid al-Fitr celebrations as though you do every year, but still able to bring happiness that can never be redeemed with any. Therefore, you always look forward to this opportunity, and willing to sacrifice anything for the sake of feeling the beauty in the midst of the family. Costs, away trips and tired face road congestion, in an instant it all disappear when you managed to feel the warmth of Eid al-Fitr in the midst of the people you love.

The big day has never subsided rekindle your inner longing for peace hometown and chatting with family. Eid al Fitr is so special in your life, because it proved able to deliver you to the memories of your life during a small family, but in a different setting and circumstances. Imagine, once you've managed to achieve most of the ideals and feel the beauty of success in the business world, beautiful memories of childhood come back up. Such conditions certainly feels special, so you are willing to sacrifice anything to get by.

BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES BY SACRIFICE Eid Fitri
The beautiful shades of Eid in the midst of his beloved companion taulan at home, already mastered your feelings. As a result you never Questioning whatever you have to bear the cost and no matter how you have to fight through.

This condition is not only happening to you a, but also occurs on all Muslims, including the author. However should not Eid al-Fitr celebrations beauty make us neglect and forget the mainland.

True Islam bless you to have fun and enjoy the fruits of your labor for one year.

عن عائشة قالت دخل على أبو بكر وعندى جاريتان من جوارى الأنصار تغنيان بما تقاولت به الأنصار يوم بعاث قالت وليستا بمغنيتين فقال أبوبكر أبمزمور الشيطان في بيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وذلك فى يوم عيد فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ((يا أبا بكر إن لكل قوم عيدا وهذا عيدنا))

"Aisha radi anhuma described: At a feast, my father Abu Bakr radi 'anhu came to my house, whereas now there are two small female child of the Ansar daughters hum slogans (yells) Ansar at war Bu'ats , but both are not a trained singer. Watched them, my father Abu Bakr radi anhu immediately rebuked and said, 'no flute-flute Eligible devil in the house of the Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam? Hear my father's rebuke, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "O Abu Bakr, every people must have a true day of celebration, and today is a day of celebration we" [Agreed alaih]

However, Islam does not mean you go beyond the boundaries thus justify the celebration of Eid al-Fitr you loose control and without measure.

One day I read a news that Eid al-Fitr celebrations to welcome the year 1432H, BI set up a cash fund of Rp 61.36 trillion. But in fact, it is not appropriate BI predictions, even far from the reality on the ground. In a period of about 4 weeks, it turns cash absorbed by society, especially Muslims reached fantastic. Do you know how much is absorbed by the Muslims in such a very short time?

Money Circulation BI Deputy Director, Mr. Adnan Juanda explain that to H-5 Muslims demand for coins has reached Rp. 77 trillion. This figure far exceeds the demand of Muslims in the previous period reached 54.78 trillion. Thus the demand for small denominations which reflects the value of shopping Muslims increased by 12%

However, are you aware that many of these funds are not flowing into the pockets of Muslims, but flows into the pockets of other people. Please you look at the shopping centers of the most overrun by Muslims during Ramadan, undoubtedly you get most of them belong to other people.

But you try to observe the days of other people, is there any of the Muslims who attend the celebration of their blessing?

If so, why all this time as if Muslims do not care about this fact?

WHERE THE MONEY FLOW OF MUSLIMS?
A reading above, maybe you never imagined before, but that's the reality. And at the same time, you may get amazed over the fact that this is forgotten by many people. Ability to spend money is so big and so within a short time, is proof that true Muslims rich

How not rich, ahead of the Rp 77 trillion is just rough numbers, as it is formally limited to money disbursed by the central bank. The data to be exact, which includes money that the community is kept under the pillow, or personal vault, and no one knows the other number.

If so the funds are being invested in productive projects, can certainly create great jobs. And if Muslims set aside some funds to spend on Eid al-Fitr celebrations, the poor in order to sympathize certainly a lot that can terentaskan of poverty.

Try to think of it, if the funds of 77.000.000.000.000 (77 trillion) were distributed to the poor who are mostly Muslim majority undoubtedly they terentaskan of poverty.

According to data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the number of poor people in Indonesia in March 2011 was 30.02 million. Thus if the sum of 77 billion distributed to them so each can get at least 2.4 million dollars. Of this much money for the poor is very significant and can even be venture capital in order to make a living for their families.

But in reality the funds are spent on the needs of consumer goods, so it does not much give a positive value for the welfare of the people. Only a handful of people, the traders who can enjoy the swift flow of funds people.

Try to recall what you did yesterday when celebrating Eid al-Fitr. How many pairs do you buy new clothes, shoes or sandals, and what kind of food you prepare. At the time it seemed to impress you wear decent clothes shortage, and as Eid al-Fitr is invalid if it is not provided a diverse and cakes.

Not whether you remember the words of our Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam following.

كلوا واشربوا والبسوا وتصدقوا, فى غير إسراف ولا مخيلة

"Eat and drink, dress and give charity, without any extravagant attitude and arrogance" [Reported by al-Bukhari]

Even more ironic, the celebration of Eid al-Fitr has been converted from a nuanced celebration of worship and thanksgiving for favors implementation of fasting, a showcase. Showing off new clothes, cakes, jewelery, new vehicles and so forth.

Naturally, when the values ​​of faith and thanksgiving to Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala during the festival from year to year more and more faded. Moreover, awareness of the values ​​ubudiyah to God Almighty. Ubudiyah value that glows on your adherence to refrain from eating and drinking for a full month, then the feast you are prohibited from fasting. Your compliance is manifested in a month refrain from eating and drinking, and at the feast sebalikya, you worship with eating and drinking.

Ubudiyah Allah Almighty is not in amaliyah birth per se, but rather on your obedience to all the commandments and prohibitions, regardless of its form. Ubudiyah could be eating and drinking, as can be realized in the refrain of both.

However, what if it turns out virtually Muslims more emphasis on the appearance of birth, Eid al-Fitr as if just having fun with new clothes and delicious dishes.

Brother! Ponder narrative Umm 'Athiyah, hopefully you can compare Eid al-Fitr celebrations Prophet sallallaahu' alaihi wa sallam and the Shabat with your celebration.

قالت يارسول الله على إحدانا بأس إذا لم يكن لها جلباب أن لاتخرج? فقال لتلبسها صا حبتها من جلبابها فليشهدن الخير ودعوة المؤمنين

"I asked: O Messenger of Allah, if we pray when we do not have a veil so as not attended the Eid al-Fitr prayer? Then he answered: Should lend her hijab to her, so she took part to get covered by the kindness and prayers of Muslims "[Reported by al-Bukhari]

Thus, they celebrate Eid al-Fitr, more religious values ​​they emphasize, rather than appearance. Feast day has arrived, but there is still a Companion of the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam who do not have a scarf that can be used to close his private parts when out of the house.

While not having the veil, they are not desperate to participate enrich the Eid al-Fitr prayer in an effort to get blessings of obedience to Allah Almighty.

If Muslims today re-emphasized on religious values ​​than appearance, undoubtedly potential and their wealth is not wasted as it is today.

Brother! Remember the following Arab proverb:

ليس العيد لمن لبس الجديد إنما العيد لمن طاعاته تزيد

"It is not 'ied it belonged to someone who dressed new, but ied is owned by the piety roaring ahead nan".

CLOSING
Hopefully this simple explanation inspire your faith, so you do not waste your hard-earned money on things that are less valuable. Hopefully this article to remind you that the results of running this sweat over how beautiful you are when you are dropped off in the sight of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. How many doors of heaven are open around you, but how little you managed to achieve with your wealth.

Allaah ta'ala knows best bisshawab
