THE OBLIGATION OF FASTING

Allah says in the Quran:

"O uou who have faith! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you - so that hopefully you will have taqwa." - Al Baqarah(2):183

Meaning that hopefuly you can safeguard yourselves from the Fire through Fasting; fasting is a means to the forgiveness of sins, and sins lead one to the fire.

The two sahihs record the hadith in which the prophet (pbuh) said:

"Islam is built upon five: that you worship Allah and reject the worship of anything else, to establish the prayer, the giving of Zakat, performing pilgrimage to the house and Fasting the month of Ramadan." [This is the wording of Muslim, Bukhari has the first sentence as 'that you testify none has the right to be worshipped save Allah'].

THE VIRTUES OF FASTING

Fasting carries with it a number of benefits, amongst which are: the elevation to ones rank, the expiation of sins, the breaking of ones desire and lusts, the increase of charity, the multiplication of actions of obedience to Allah, giving thanks to the one who knows the hidden matters, and preventing oneself from even contemplating the commiting of sin.


THE ELEVATION OF RANK

With regards to the elevation of rank, the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said:

"When Ramadan comes, the gates of Paardise are opened, the gates of Hellfire are locked and devils are chained." [Bukhari]

He (pbuh) also said, relating from his lord Mighty and Magnificient,

"All of the actions of the son of Adam are for him except the fast for that is for me and I will reward it. Fasting is protecting sheild, so when it is the day when one of you are fasting, let him not behave or speak indecently; if someone tries to abuse him or fight him, let him say, 'I am fasting'. By the one in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the smell emanating from the mouth of the one fasting is better with Allah then the smell of musk. The one fasting has tewo time of joy, when he breaks his fast he is happy and when he meets his lord he will rejoice at his fasting." [Bukhari and Muslim]

The prophet (pbuh) also said:

"Every action that the son of Adam does, [its reward] will be multiplied, a good deed will be increased tenfold. Allah Mighty and Magnificient says, 'except for the fast, for that is for Me and I will reward it for he left his desires and food for My sake'" [Muslim]

The prophet (pbuh) also said:

"In paradise there is a gate which is called ar-Rayyan through which the people who fasted will enter on the day of Judgement, and no one else shall enter along-side them. It will be asked, 'where are those who fasted?' and they will walk through it, and upon the entry of the last of them, it will be locked, and no one else will walk through it." [Bukhari and Muslim]

With regards the 'opening of the gates of paradise', this is a phrase that points to the increase of actions of obedience that in turn lead to the opening of the gates of Paradise. 'Locking the gates of Fire' is a phrase that points to the decrease, and lack of therewith, of sins which in turn leads to the locking of the gates of the Fire. 'The chaining of the devils' is a phrase that points to the termination of their whisperings, and temptations, to those who are fasting because they give up hope of receiving a favorable response.

His saying, "All of the actions of the son of Adam are for him except the fast for that is for me, and I will reward it," fasting has been specifically adjoined to him in the order of Honour it because the hidden nature of fasting prevents ostentation entering it, and moreover, hunger and thirst are not used as means to draew closer to any king of this world nor any idol.

QURAN

Ramadan is the month in which the Quran was revealed with clear guidance and differentiation (Between Good and Bad) Whoever of you is a witness of this month, should fast. But if anyone is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put you in any difficulties. 2:185 And eat and drink, until the white thread of dawn appears to you distinct from it’s black thread; then complete your fast till the night appears. 2:187

HADITH

Whoever fasts Ramadan with faith and seeking the pleasure of Allah, his past errors are forgiven. (Ahmed) Islam is based on the five pillars, the oneness of Allah, establishing prayers, paying Zakat (Charity) fasting in Ramadan and pilgrimage to Makkah. Fast when you see the new moon of Ramadan, and finish fasting when you see the new moon of Shawal, and if you cannot see the new moon then calculate thirty days of Shaban.

RAMADAN

The month of Ramadan comes once each year giving every fasting Muslim a spiritual and physical improvement which lasts until the following year.

CHARITY

To be homeless without a place to live and to loose your family or the home you were born in or to loose your spouse or children is a terrible thought. Yet this is what many Muslim brothers and sisters face each winter. We see this happening daily on TV or in the newspapers. "Every little bit helps", whatever you donate this Ramadan, it will give someone a chance to live or hope for a better future.

ZAKAT-A-FITR

This is a charity that must be paid at the end of Ramadan and only then is your fasts accepted.

ZAKAT-AL-MAL

This is a charitable tax which must be paid every year based upon your wealth. To do this during Ramadan is more rewarding.

merdeka!! merdeka!!

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahiim..

before i start, lets have the starter first.. :)


definition taken by WIKEPEDIA..

Hari Merdeka (Independence Day) is a national day of Malaysia commemorating the independence of the Federation of Malaya from British colonial rule. In a wider context, it is to celebrate the formation of Malaysia


The effort for independence was spearheaded by Tunku Abdul Rahman Putra Al-Haj, the first Prime Minister of Malaysia, who led a delegation of ministers and political leaders of Malaya in negotiations with the British in London for Merdeka, or independence along with the first president of the Malayan Chinese Association (MCA) Tun Dato Sir Tan Cheng Lock and fifth President of Malaysian Indian Congress Tun V.T. Sambanthan. Once it became increasingly clear that the Communist threat posed during the Malayan Emergency was petering out, agreement was reached on February 8, 1956, for Malaya to gain independence from the British Empire. However, for a number of logistical and administrative reasons, it was decided that the official proclamation of independence would only be made the next year, on August 31, 1957, at Stadium Merdeka (Independence Stadium), in Kuala Lumpur.

Sensational Bolt wins gold in world record

(CNN) -- Usain Bolt smashed his own world record in winning the Olympic 100 meters title in Beijing with one of the most remarkable performances in the history of track and field.

Bolt (right) crosses the line ahead of Thompson (center) and Dix to win 100m gold.

The 21-year-old Jamaican clocked 9.69 seconds to win from Trinidad and Tobago's Richard Thompson (9.89 seconds) and America's Walter Dix (9.91 seconds).

But it was the manner of his victory that was truly astonishing as he started his celebrations before crossing the line, showboating with his arms out wide before slapping his chest in triumph.

He was still comfortably inside his own world mark of 9.72 seconds set in New York in May when he came to worldwide prominence as a gold medal contender.

Bolt's great Jamaican rival and former world record holder Asafa Powell finished a disappointing fifth while America's world champion Tyson Gay failed to make the final as he finished fifth in the earlier semifinal round.

Bolt, who will now be hot favorite to complete the 100-200 double, told BBC Sport that he expected to break his own record.

Don't Miss

Special report: Beijing 2008

"I felt the world record might go as it's a new track and very quick," he said.

"I came here just to win and I did just that. I didn't even know I'd broken the world record until I did my victory lap.

"Now I'm just concentrating on my two races coming up. I came here prepared and I'm going to try and do it the (100 and 200m double)."

The race had been one of the most eagerly anticipated in sprint history, as record six of the eight finalists dipped below the magic 10 seconds barrier in the 91,000-capacity National Stadium.

Powell, who again flattered to deceive on the big stage, was generous in his verdict on compatriot Bolt's performance.

"Usain was spectacular," Powell told Associated Press.

"He was definitely untouchable tonight. He could have gone a lot faster if he had run straight through the line."

kawan BUKAN sahabat

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahiim

ingat kebaikan orang pada kita .. lupa kebaikan kita pada orang..

ingat keburukan kita pada orang.. lupa keburukan orang pada kita..

renung-renungkan lah wahai sahabat-sahabat ku di luar sana..

mak ayah selalu pesan..
bila berbaik dengan orang sekeliling..
jangan bagi 100%..
90% pun jangan..
80% pun jangan..
70% pun jangan..
60% pun jangan..
50% sedang elok..
tapi, biar bagi dalam at least 40%..
apabila kesedihan..
tidaklah berasa sangat..
ada sedikit halwa untuk diri sendiri..

kadang-kadang terabai pesanan mak ayah..
sehingga memakan diri sendiri..
apabila buat baik berlebihan sangat..
orang lupa kebaikan kita dan kemudian ambil tidak endah..
nak kata pijak kepala bukan lah, tetapi seolah kosong..
tiada pengisian..
apabila kesusahan, mula mencari sekeliling..
diri yang punya jiwa sebegitu sejak azali, tidak mampu menahan untuk ditolak..
pertolongan tetap pertolongan..
tak pernah tidak layan..
tidak pernah minta balasan..
dalam wang ringgit yang sering dikeluarkan mahu pun tenaga yang semakin lama kehabisan..
tapi, alangkan elok jika dikenang kebaikan itu..
diambil kira dalam kehidupan sehari-harian kebaikan itu..
untung-untung apabila dalam kesusahan, boleh digunakan..
tetapi..
tidak..
abaikan sahaja..!!

tapi, tak megapalah..
untung ada ibu bapa yang memahami..
kawan biar seribu, petik senang je dapat..
bila kesusahan atau kesedihan mahupun kebingungan, lari dan tanpa response..
tapi, sahabat sejati, payah untuk dicari..
hingga akhir hayat pun,masih sukar..

alangkah baik jika dapat sahabat sejati seperti ABU BAKAR AS-SIDDIQ untuk RASULULLAH SAW tersayang..

berangan dahulu..
mungkin tidak sekarang..
masa hadapan,insyaALLAH..

berterima kasih dan meminta maaf itu lebih baik daripada tidak membuat apa-apa

p/s-untung diri senang bergaul dengan siapa-siapa saja.. cuit-cuit sikit ye..

kadang-kadang lupa diri ini sering pentingkan orang lain dahulu daripada pentingkan orang lain.. akhirnya? tak apa.. tawakkal...

ya ALLAH ya TUHANKU

bismillah ar-rahman ar-rahiim

Duhai HATI..

hati ini sudah lama tidak berperasaan..

kering.. kemarau..

mungkin berhabuk..

yang ada sudah pergi..

yang tiada makin menghilang..

yang disisi belum tentu memahami..

yang memahami belum tentu mendengar..

yang mendengar belum tentu merasai..

DIRI yang merasai..

segalanya perlu ditelan..

biar pahit.. biar keras..

namun amat berguna..

agar menjadi lebih kuat..

kadang-kadang kita perlu meluahkan..

kerana kebisuan sukar ditafsir..

pandangan sukar dimengertikan..

SOMEHOW..

UNPREDICTABLE..

jazakallahu khair..

p/s- ive no idea the actual reason i did this.. but, it hurts me the most..
