Demi Allah, tak pantas kita hidup bermewah-mewahan... tak pantas kita hidup berlebih-lebihan... dan tak pantas kita hidup dengan pemborosan...Artikel ini mengingatkan, betapa diluar sana masih banyak orang2 yang sebenarnya lebih pantas untuk memiliki sebagian harta kita Mudah-mudahan sama-sama bisa diambil ibroh-nya...

Ramadhan Mubarak - Time For Reflection

In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

O Believers, fasting is decreed for you as it was decreed for those before you, so that you may learn to restrain yourselves.
(Al Quran 2:183)

The Prophet (SAW) said:'Allah has said: "Every action of the son of Adam is for him except fasting, for that is solely for Me, and I shall reward it (in a special way).....A person who dasts experience two joys, he is joyful when he breaks his fast and he is joyful when he meets his Lord."
(Bukhari Muslim)

The Prophet (SAW) said: "Whoever fasts during Ramadhan with faith, seeking reward from Allah, will have his past sins forgiven. And whoever spends the Night of Power (Laylat ul Qadr) in prayer, with faith, seeking his reward from Allah, will have his past sins forgiven."
(Bukhari Muslim)

The Prophet (SAW) said: "Whoever prays during the nights of Ramadhan with faith, seeking his reward from Allah, will have his past sins forgiven."
(Bukhari Muslim)

The Prophet (SAW) said: "If a person does not give up accusations and bad behaviour while fasting, Allah has no need of his giving up food or drink."
(Bukhari Mullim)

The Prophet (SAW) said: "There are those who get nothing from their fast but hunger and thirst, and there are those who pray at night and get nothing from it but loss of sleep."
(Ahmad)

Purify your intentions, seek reward from Allah and fulfill your duties and increase your ibadaa for the sake of Allah alone. The true reward is yet to come Insya Allah.

May Ramadhan user upon us peace, happiness and prosperity.
