SeLaMat BerPuaSa..

"Time is not money or gold; it is life itself and is limited . You must begin to appreciate every moment of your life and always strive to make the best use of it".

Alhamdulillah, tomorrow is the beginning of Ramadan, means all Muslim will start fasting. Now, is my third time fasting in Muadzam. There is a lot of funny and knowledge i gain from my experience here. Rarely to eat delicious food like mak always cook in Muadzam. hehehe, but that not the point. I've learn and continue learning about life. Fasting month is not about eating those food but it is about how we developed ourself as a Muslim and to know that human are all same.

We've been taught that life is not that easy. I have to learn how to save and use money properly. I hope for this Ramadan i will learn more and be more matured. Ya Allah, thanx for this blessing Ramadan. Here, some quick checklist that you can do for Ramadan and SELAMAT MENJALANI IBADAH PUASA~

1. Make a resolve to win the maximum favor of Allah by performing extra Voluntary prayers (Nawafils), making frequent Dua and increased remembrance (Dhikr).

2. Try to recite some Holy Quran after every Prayer.

3. Study the Tafseer (commentary) .

4. Invite a person you are not very close with or your relatives to your home for Iftaar.

5. Bring life to your family! Everyday, try to conclude the fast with your family and spend some quality time together to understand each other better.

6. Give gifts on Eid to at least 5 people: 2 to your family members, 2 to your good friends, and 1 to a person whom you love purely for the sake of Allah. This is in addition to normal 'Iddiya' to children.

7. Where applicable, make commitment to join Islamic study circles to learn more about Islam and improve your own life.

8. Donate generously to the mosque, Islamic organizations and any where people are in need or oppressed.

9. Share month of Ramadan and its teachings of peace and patience with your colleagues at work, neighbors and relatives.

10. Sleep little, eat little! Make sure you do not defeat the purpose of fasting by over-indulging in food and being lazy.

11. Seek the rare and oft-neglected rewards of the night better than 1000 months ( Laylatul-Qadr ).

12. Weep in private for the forgiveness of your sins.

13. Learn to control your tongue and lower your gaze.

14. Encourage others to enjoin and love goodness, and to abandon everything that Allah dislikes. Play the role of a Da'ee (one who invites to Allah) with zeal, passion, and sympathy.

15. Experience the joy of Tahajjud prayers late at night and devote yourself purely and fully to Allah in the Itikaf retreat during Ramadan.

16. For extra concerted effort, try to be off work for few last days of Ramadhan for maximum Ibada.

17. Make an effort to reconcile with the people you are not on good terms with. Forgive everyone and keep your heart clean.

18. In all your dhikr, do not forget your parents, your neighbors', relatives, dead people and other muslims.
