Ramadhan Kareem | Best Things To Do

Ramadhan Kareem

It started from Thursday, 23 April 2020 until Saturday, 23 May 2020

What is Ramadhan?

If you ask me what the meaning of Ramadhan, for me Ramadhan is an Islamic Month ( we used a moon calendar) that in whole month we all or islam umah all over the world do fasting. Fasting mean not eat and drink any food from fajr till maghrib (whole day). But not just that, we also must hold our desire, especially our lust of doing something bad. We do not say bad things, lie, even steal other people stuff. Because, Ramadhan is a great month to erase our sins. This time, Allah give us so many opportunity.

There also a Lailatul Qadr. The night which is better than thaousand moon. When the angel comes down to the earth, when all plants and animals giving their Dzikr to the almighty god for asking forgiveness. You may see, there also many people recite al-Quran from the begining till the last of the book. We called it Tadarus.

What the best things to do in Ramadhan?

1. Tahajjud, a midnight prayer. Better do between 3-4 o'clock. The border is when entering Subuh prayer. This is a special prayer that Allah love the most. Because people at that time busy sleeping, we wake up to do His command.
2. Fasting. Of course, for whole month. But is you sick or your period come, you can replace your fasting in other day outside ramadhan.
3. Taddarus. Reciting Qur'an. Make it Khattam. But also remember, we recite al quran not only to make it finish till the end of the book but, we also have to understand what it says and practices it in our daily life.
4. Sleep. This is the most easiest thing to do! We think that, rather than awake and do something useless even if make sin from it, we better going to sleep.
5. Tarawih, prayer for a long rakaa'h. This is a prayer that we do after Isya' prayer. The more rakaa'h you take the more better. Tarawih also counted as sillaturahm. We can keep relation by gathered with siblings, family, friends and other.
6. Tahfizul Qur'an. If you want to make your time in life priceless, do this. Memorize ayah, surah, or even all of it. There's a lot of people do this but not much. In Qur'an written, if someone able to memorize al-qur'an, Allah will giving a noble cloak for his parent. Masya'Allah.
7. Sharing with others. The main purpose of fasting is to feel what other people feel when the are lack of food. So, you already know how it feels, it can grow your emphaty to others. We can do shadaqah by giving food to others or some treasure we have. Even a single smile means shadaqah.

There are so many moral virtue we can get in Ramadhan. Most of people welcoming this month full with cheerfulness. The final day of Ramadhan is Ied Fitr. Day when we gathering with all of familly, friend, and society to celebrate victory. Why we call it victory? I think because we already carry out our obligations for doing fasting which is the one of the pillars of faith.

I hope we can meet Ramadhan again next year. Stay healthy and patience in this quarantine. Even if we can not have a chance in this year to meet our family, we can still pray to ask for God's protection. If there anywords that you might not agree, i aplogoze because these are based on my experiences while living it. Thankyou. May Allah safe us.
