Ramadan Mubarak. Ramadan this year has been going on for several days. We have prepared ourselves, long before Ramadan comes. In the Islamic Moon that precedes Ramazan until the 8th month of the
Islamic calendar, the month of Sha'ban, we pray to meet with the fasting
month.
Ramadan is one of the most important days of fasting in Islam. The importance of fasting in Islam, among others: improving the
quality (faith), remove mistakes, control lust, increase alms, complete
obedience, increase gratitude, and prevent themselves from misconduct.
How long does Ramadan fast?In the month of Ramadan Muslims are required to fast for a whole month. About 29-30 days we perform fasting sequentially or not intermittently.
Why do we fast in the month of Ramadan?In
addition to having been commanded by Allah swt in QS Al-Baqarah verse
183: "O ye who believe, are obliged upon you fasting as has been obliged
upon the people before you, so you are cautious.", Ramadan fast also
turns out to wonders extraordinary for the health of our body. When
we fast a constant number of days, it provides an opportunity for the
digestive apparatus to rest, free the body from toxins, debris, and
waste that damage health. Ramadan fasting is also blocking food for bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells so that the germs can not survive. It also increases the number of white blood cells and increases endurance.
Hadith about Fasting:"Narrated from Abu Said al-Khudri r.a he said: The Messenger of Allah
sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam said: Every servant who fasts in the way of
Allah, Allah will keep him from the Fire of Hell as far as the journey
of seventy years" [Bukhari-Muslim]"It
is narrated from Sahl ibn Saad that he said: The Messenger of Allah
sallallahu 'alayhi wa salam said: Surely in Heaven there is a door
called Ar-Rayyan. The one who fasts will enter through the door on the Last Day. Can not enter anyone except them. Later there will be an announcement: Where is the fasting person? They then flocked through the door. After the last of them had entered, the door was closed again. No one else will enter it "[Bukhari-Muslim]
