Let us do better in Ramadhan..

When Ramadhan comes again, people are suddenly extremely conscious about time. Some people who might rarely know the exact prayer time of Maghrib, Isya' and Subuh, now becoming so passionate and alert about it in Ramadhan. In one aspect, it is a sign of Muslim to always concern of performing prayer in early time but in the other side of view,it is not what is really to be meant or happened. Break fasting is one of the example. Of course, break fasting shouldn't be delayed but it also must not be delayed too in performing Maghrib prayer. Same goes to 'sahur' where delaying it is become a matter to be encouraged in Islam but not in performing Subuh prayer. Of course, it's easy to talk rather than to do it, but let's we struggle for it. The successful Muslim is the one who be able to control his lust. Let's we include ourselves in that group! This is also become a good reminder for me. What a nice moment if we all together struggling for it and translating it into practicality.

Huge number of Muslim...Ramadhan Karim!

When Ramadhan comes again, Muslims all over the world perform their obligation of fasting and at night, they all gathering at mosques to perform prayer esp. tarawih prayer. What a blessed month! Huge number of Muslims performing tarawih prayer together with their family can be seen everywhere. For certain place, it's become more interesting esp in middle east countries. This is a time for them to increase ibadah and other deeds encouraged by Islam such donating, sadaqah and feeding poor people. Break fasting during Maghrib is like a festive where many people preparing meals, gathering and meeting to each other. In a couple of hours, they forgot jobs and works just to enjoy themselves in doing ibadah and socializing with others. All these events express greater significant to Muslim's life. This month really makes Muslims closer to Allah (for those whose take it as an opportunity!). When they are gathering at mosque, we know the number of Muslims is so big. I talk to myself, it's good to see like this in other month where Muslims could become and remain stronger through unity! This is so nice..
