Blessing of Ramadan (fasting)

Began Thursday, June 18, 2015 is Muslims worldwide began to welcome the beginning of Ramadan (fasting month), which is the word of God is a blessed month.

Because the words of the Prophet Muhammad, in this decline in the verses of the Koran, and in this whole fasting person sins forgiven by God, and in God also ordained downs Lailatulqadar night.

God in his word in Sura Al-Qadr: 1). Indeed we have lowered (Koran) on the night of glory. 2). And you know that glory night. 3). Night of Power is better than 1000 months 4). On that night down the angels and the angel Gabriel with his Lord permits to regulate all affairs 5) That night (full) well-being until dawn.

In order to obtain the grace and Hidayah man of God in order to go to heaven, God established three destiny:

The first destiny, common destiny of God written in the book:

"Lawh Mahfuz".

Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam said: "Allaah has set all the destiny of all creatures from fifty thousand years before God created the heavens and the earth". (HR. Muslim no. 2653).

"Nothing a calamity befalls on the earth and (nor) in yourselves but it is inscribed in the Book (Lawh Mahfuz) before We bring it. Verily it is easy for Allah ". (QS. Al-Hadid: 22).

 In this book all the fate of the creatures of God, including the leaves are falling from the branches have been established by God, including when a man dies, exposed to the test in the form of misfortune pain, suffering and the form of the exam given abundant sustenance.

Then God determines the fate of a lifetime, written by angels since exhaled spirit of God at the age of human fetal age of 4 months and ten days.

Then Allah establishes annual destiny called Laylat al Qadr night.

Some hadith (Sunnah / al-wisdom) of the Prophet Muhammad are narrated by Buchori-Muslim mentions that Tatyana Qadr night it happened at night, the last ten days of Ramadan (fasting).

On this night how God shows man that God only gives grace to humans.

Just imagine if we pray at night that God will give reward as 1000 months (82 years), whereas the age of the nation of Muhammad until now average there are rarely more than 80 years.

At the time of the ummah of Prophet Noah when night Laylat al Qadr has not been revealed, but the age of the prophet nuh can reach thousands of years.

That grace and a great gift of God to the ummah of Prophet Muhammad, even though the average age of the ummah of Prophet Muhammad is much shorter (no more than an average of 80 years) but the grace of God given broad and large.

Of course, so that we obtain the grace of God in order to meet the night Laylat al Qadr, we continue to pray that God met that night, consistently carry out the commands of Allah through the Quran and Hadith pillars of Islam.

After vowing to say; Laillahailaulah Muhammad Rasul Allah (There is no god that must be worshiped except Allah, and Muhammad Rasul Allah), we carry out our duty to pray five times a day, paying zakat, fasting during Ramadan, Hajj / Umrah when able.

If all that we run, and after each prayer we do dhikr morning and evening, in addition to istighfar we also read surah al-Ikhlas 10 times.

Prophet Muhammad dala zikirnya his saying he was in prayer after reading Istighfar least 100 times a day.

While remembrance is always spoken of remembrance: Subhan Allah (Glory to God), God bless (Praise be to God), Laillahaillaulah (There is no god that must be worshiped except Allah), Allahu Akbar (God is great), Walakhauwalakauwataillabillah (There is no force other than Allah who can helping humans).

Istighfar (Astagfirullahi allazim) (Ya Allah forgives all sins servants lah).

Also recommended reading salawat Prophet Muhammad: Muhammad Allahsoliala Waalaalisyaidina Muhammad.

In a Hadith explained, Even if the sentence Laillahaillaulah (There is no god that must be worshiped except Allah) when we put on a pair of scales on the right, and the entire contents of the seven heavens and seven layers of earth placed on the scales to the left, then the right of the weight scales far exceeding weighing scales to the left.

In valid Hadith also described Laillahaillaulah sentence is the key to unlock the gates of heaven.

However, such locks in general, each serration lock requires that the gates of heaven can be opened easily.

The key serration is we carry out the commands of Allah as contained in the Qur'an and Sunnah, as practiced by the Prophet Muhammad, as described hadith, the words of the prophet Muhammad were valid.

God's commands such as executing the pillars of Islam, and branches that many good deeds described Allah and His Messenger.

May we include God's servant who received guidance and grace, which is always grateful when tested God with an abundance of sustenance Allah, and be patient when God tested with various calamities (suffering poverty, illness, and other disasters).

Because the word of God, God is with those who are patient, and will reward without limit to those who wait, when God tested with Disaster sick.

Otherwise Allah will love people when God tested with the provision of God (such treasures. Enjoyment other) with gratitude to God, to release all their wealth in Allah (my wife and kids for a living, to pay zakat, sadakoh orphan and widow, build mosques, schools, hospitals, and sympathize both parents, and brothers again undergo the test in the form of misfortune poverty, illness and other disasters).

In the month of Ramadan we encouraged many perform a variety of worship, because the worship during Ramadan Allah folding double reward, such as worship when performed Umrah in Ramadan equivalent reward Hajj, when prayer in the Haram reward equivalent to 100,000 times more than prayer in tempain on a normal day, then multiplied during Ramadan, as well as the reward of reading the Quran, on the day when the usual reward of reading the Quran can only stammer two rewards by one letter, if the current (understand its meaning) Angel with the people who read it, then in the month of Ramadan doubled its reward.

Take good care of your fasting, multiply the worship, stay away from sinner who can break the fast and large sin. Enforce the pillars of Islam, such as prayer five times a day, the prayer is obligatory, the reward equivalent of 50 cycles a day (remember the prayer command in the event of Isra Mirad)

RAMADAN MONTH greatest ANUGRAH

By

Shaikh Abdurrazaq bin Abdulmuhsin hafizhahumallâh

Allah Almighty has given to His servants favors very much and are not counted. Allah Almighty says:

وإن تعدوا نعمت الله لا تحصوها

And if you count the favors of Allah, you will not be able to count them [Ibrahim / 14: 34]

Favors that there is absolute and some are muqayyad (tied); there are religious and some are mundane. Allah Almighty shows his servants to the pleasures of the past Allah Almighty also guide them to achieve the enjoyment. Allah Almighty also called the servants to enter into Daris Salam (heaven). Allah Almighty says:

والله يدعو إلى دار السلام ويهدي من يشاء إلى صراط مستقيم

Allah calls (men) to Darus Salam (heaven), and leadeth man who wills to a straight path (Islam). [Yunus / 10: 25]

Allah Almighty bestows health and physical sense to them, provide halal sustenance, subjecting to them what is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth. All of this gift from Allah Almighty granted to His servants so that they are grateful to Him, to worship only him and not menyekutukannya. By doing it all, they will win the pleasure of Allah Almighty and be safe from His punishment.

One example of the great favors that Allah Almighty gave to His servants who believe that they make disyari'atkannya fasting the blessed month is Ramadan. Allah Almighty make this fasting as one of the pillars of Islam. Therefore fasting is a glorious favors that Allah Almighty gave to his servants, then Allah Almighty closing paragraph containing the command to fast the month of Ramadan with his word:

ولعلكم تشكرون

That ye may be grateful [al-Baqarah / 2: 185]

Because grateful is the purpose of the creation of a variety of creatures and giving pleasure.

The essence of gratitude is to recognize these favors come from Allah Almighty coupled with submission to Him, humble yourself and love Him.

Whoever does not know a favor then he can not be grateful.

Whoever knows a pleasure but he did not know the Giver then he will not be grateful.

Whoever knows the pleasure and know the Giver but he deny the pleasure then it means he has Kufr against such favors.

Whoever knows the pleasure and know the Giver and he also recognizes the enjoyment, only he did not submit to him, did not obey Him, and do not love the Giver, and is not pleased with him, then he is not considered to be grateful.

Whoever knows the pleasure and knowing the giver and he is subject to Him, love Permberi favors, for his good pleasure and use them in favor of things that loved him and in order to obey Him, then he is the one who is said to be grateful to an easement ,

From this description, it seems clear that gratitude was awakened at five rules:

• Submission of people who give thanks to Allah

• His Love,

• Acknowledge favor of Allah Almighty bestowed to him,

• Praising Him because He has given favor to him,

• Using these favors in order mentaat him,

These five things are the foundation of gratitude. When one of the five foundation is missing or does not exist, then gratitude is not considered or its value decreases. And everyone who speaks of gratitude and understanding, then his word will never go out of five of the above [2].

In an effort to realize this gratitude, humans or the servants of Allah Almighty is divided into different levels depending on the extent to which they know the Almighty Creator, Giver of glory favor. Among them are some who understand the name and nature of Allah Almighty in detail, to understand how great His creation and His perbutatan, knowing how beautiful creation of Allah. People like this heart will be filled with the love of Allah, will be filled with verbal praise, his limbs will always do things that are blessed by Allah. He admitted all the favors given to him, and used it on things that are loved and blessed by Allah Almighty. Among humans there is also immersed in the negligence and ignorance about Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. People who like this will be far from Allah Almighty to cause a denial that he did against a favor of Allah, or he did not deny it but he did not want to subject and obedient to the commands and Shari'ah of Allah Almighty.

The blessed month of Ramadan is a divine grace to all the servants, so that those who believe their faith increases, while those who exceeded the limit (which perform various violations-red) as well as underestimating the shari'ah can repent to Allah Almighty. Allah Almighty privileging this month with various specificities and privileges that no one in the other.

The following will mention some of the perks of this month with the hope that we can understand how great favors this Ramadan so that we are increasingly motivated to give thanks to the worship of Allah Almighty with truth.

a. The month of Ramadan especially with al-Qur'ân, because in this month the Qur'an was revealed as guidance for mankind. Allah Almighty says:

شهر رمضان الذي أنزل فيه القرآن هدى للناس وبينات من الهدى والفرقان

Ramadan, the month in which the derived al-Qur'ân as a guidance for mankind and the explanations of the clues and the difference (between the right and falsehood) [al-Baqarah / 2: 185]

In this verse, Allah Almighty praised Ramadan among other months, by selecting it as a revelation of the Koran, even mentioned in a hadith that the month of Ramadan is a time of lowered seluruk books Almighty Allah to prophets , In the Musnad of Imam Ahmad and Mu'jamul Kabir of Imam Thabrani of shahabat Wâtsilah bin 'Asqa', the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

أنزلت صحف إبراهيم في أول ليلة من شهر رمضان, وأنزلت التوراة لست مضين من رمضان, والإنجيل لثلاث عشرة خلت من رمضان, وأنزل القرآن لأربع وعشرين خلت من رمضان

Shuhuf Abraham descended on the first night of Ramadan, and the Law on the sixth day of Ramadan, while the Gospel on the thirteenth day of the month of Ramadan, while al-Qur'ân was revealed at the twenty-fourth day of Ramadan [3].

This hadith shows that the books samawiyah revealed to the apostles in the month of Ramadan, it's just that the books were lowered at the same time (not staged), while al-Qur'ân since its glory and grandeur, he is revealed at once to Baitil Izzah in the sky World's (first) and it occurs when Tatyana Qadr in Ramadan, as the word of Allah Almighty:

إنا أنزلناه في ليلة القدر

Indeed, We have it down (al-Qur'ân) on the night of glory [al-Qadr / 97: 1]

And His words:

إنا أنزلناه في ليلة مباركة إنا كنا منذرين

Surely We have revealed it on a blessed night and We-who gave the warning. [Ad-Dukhan / 44: 3]

Then after that, revealed to the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam gradually. It shows the privilege of Ramadan. And this month to be special with the cause of al-Qur'ân, which this month mendapakan mankind the great virtue of Allah, which is the revelation of Allah Almighty who brought guidance for mankind, for the good of them in the world and in the hereafter. Qur'an is also a difference between guidance and misguidance, distinguishing between the haq and the falsehood, between light and darkness.

b. The month of Ramadan is special because there lailatul him Qadr that Allah Almighty mentioned in his words:

وما أدراك ما ليلة القدر )2( ليلة القدر خير من ألف شهر

And do you know whether lailatul Qadr (Night of Power) is it? Night of Power is better than a thousand months. [Al-Qadr / 97: 2-3]

The point is that deeds done when Tatyana Qadr is better than a thousand deeds are done in a month other than Ramadan.

c. The month of Ramadan to be special as well because there is fasting. Fasting in this month could be the cause of elimination of sin. In a hadith issued by Imam al-Bukhari and Muslim from Abu Hurayrah radi anhu, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

من صام رمضان إيمانا واحتسابا غفر له ما تقدم من ذنبه

Whoever fasted the month of Ramadan with the full faith and hope, then his sins will be forgiven the past [4]

What is meant by the full faith is full of faith to Allah Almighty with expecting reward and reward from Him, no hate against the obligation of fasting and do not hesitate to reward that will be acquired. People like this, will be forgiven all sins past by Allah Almighty. Mentioned in Saheeh Muslim from Abu Hurairah Companions radi anhu, the Prophet sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam said:

الصلوات الخمس, والجمعة إلى الجمعة, ورمضان إلى رمضان مكفرات لما بينهن إذا اجتنبت الكبائر

Praying five times, between Friday the one with the other, and between Ramadan with each other, among all the sins will be forgiven by Allah Almighty, if great sins have shunned [5]

This month is also the devils chained, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and Allah Almighty on every night of Ramadan frees many people from the fire of hell.

d. This month also Allah Almighty win Muslims over their enemies in the battle of Badr, when the number of enemies at the time tripling of the number of Muslims. At this month, Allah Almighty to conquer the city of Mecca through the hands of the Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam, purify Mecca of dirt idols, and there are three hundred and sixty statue that was in the Kaaba and its surroundings. Prophet destroy the statues as he read:

وقل جاء الحق وزهق الباطل إن الباطل كان زهوقا

And say, "Truth has come and falsehood has vanished". Verily falsehood it is definitely something disappear. [Al-Isra '/ 17: 81]

(By this all), then the month of Ramadan is the month for earnest and months to do good, the month of worship and jihad in the path of Allah.

By virtue possessed by this month as well as a variety of grace that Allah Almighty gave to His servants who believe in this, then it is proper servants glorify this month and make this month as a moment for prayer and increase provisions hereafter.

Ya Allah Almighty make us among those who understand the status and honor of the month of Ramadan! Give taufiq to us to do the deeds thy good pleasure coming! Truly you are almighty prayer Hearing
