Months waiting for his arrival by all the Muslims. 
Moon that before the arrival of the Prophet. pray to God: "O God Our berkahilah in the month of Rajab and Sha'ban and Convey us to the month of Ramadan. "Month in which people and the generation of pious salaf that they prayed to God Ramadan delivered to six months before his arrival, Mualla bin al-Fadl said: "They (the Salaf) for six months pray to God that delivered to the month of Ramadan, and pray the next six months so that their deeds in the month Ramadan received. "Why are they so earnestly ask God to be delivered to the month of Ramadan? Let we listen to the words of the Prophet. when he gave the news his companions, with the advent of Ramadan: "When it comes The first night of Ramadan, all devils are chained up, and the genie bound. All the gates of Hell are closed, no one the door was open. All doors open until there is no heaven one closed door. Then each night there came a call out: "O people who come here looking for good; O 2 Get up, get people looking for ugliness. Only God who could save from the fires of hell ". (HRTirmidzi). Rasulullah Saw. He also said: "It has come to you Ramadan, the month blessed. God has therein require fasting. In God opened the door of the sky, closed the door of hell, and imprison demons. In it Allah has a night Better than a thousand months. Whoever is forbidden good night then he really has forbidden (from kebaiakan). "(Narrated by Nisaa'i and Baihaki). Imam Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali comment on this hadith with his words: "This hadith is and basic postulate congratulated by the Muslims to other Muslims in the coming months Ramadan, how a believer is not happy with opening the doors of heaven? How can a believer not rejoice the closing of the gates of Hell? How can someone who understands not happy with the time when the devils are chained up? "Let the we also follow the example of the Salaf by continuing to pray to God to be submitted to the month of Ramadan that is filled with various kinds of blessings and virtues are. Ramadan is a special guest. Is an obligation for we as hosts to welcome he comes with joy and honor. If there is a president or a high-ranking countries will be visiting our house for sure we will be troubled with a variety of preparations to welcome him. We will definitely organize and beautify our homes, prepare special food and others. Ramadan is more than just a president or an official or whatever other high only. Ramadan is the grace of God extraordinary. Ramadan is an opportunity to prepare the ahead of us in the world and the Hereafter and thus we must 3 prepare its presence with a complete preparation for we can succeed and have self-restraint holds the promise of God that is Forgiveness and freedom from hellfire. What are the things that must be prepared before the arrival of the guest? 1) Intention truly When Ramadan ahead of many people in droves go to the markets and supermarkets in preparation for fasting. They also prepare and plan for budget budget expenditure for that month. But little of prepare their hearts and intentions for Ramadan. Dozens of times over to a Muslim Ramadan without leave a positive influence on him as if he would worship Just a mere ritual of Ramadan, ssekedar arena for abort obligations without living up to and penetrate The essence of worship, if Ramadan passed he returned to original condition. Tancapkanlah intention to make this Ramadan and hereinafter as the season to produce various kinds of goodness and reap the reward as much as possible. Think of Ramadan this time as the last Ramadan we've been through since we can not guarantee that we will meet Ramadan in the following years. Embed this determination accompanied with sincerity to be consistent in good works and worship in this Ramadan. Remember the words of the Prophet Saw.: "Whoever fasts Ramadan because of faith and sincere then Allah will forgive his sins of the past. " 2)-sunguh earnestly repent. 4 "Every man is a sinner and the sinner is the best who repent "the words of the Prophet. as Ahmad and Ibn Majah preached. Among the gift of God is always repeating presence of good moments. There are moments that repeated every week, month, year and others. Ramadan is one one of those moments that always come every year. When a servant drowned in negligence because the property objects, my wife and kids, and other jewelry that make him the world forgot to his Lord, anesthetized with Satan, and fell into the various forms of sinners coming months Ramadan to remind him of negligence, return it to his Lord, and ask again taubatnya renew. Ramadan is a month which is very eligible to renew repentance; because in it multiplied the good, and forgiven of sin removed, and appointed degrees. If a servant is always required for repent every time, then repent in Ramadhan this more is demanded again, because Ramadan is the month of precious time where Mercy Mercy of God coming down to earth. Where sinners? Where the people are transgressors? What those who always engage in immoral to God day and night? Where people who returned the favor of Allah with the sinners, wage war against Allah in His earth, and opposes the His power? Immediately repent! Because none of we are clean from sin and sinners are free from. The door of repentance always open and God was pleased and delighted with the repentance servant. Genuine repentance or repentance Nasuha is to leave the sinners are made, regrets 5 what has been done, and promised not to return repeat these sinners, and if he does sin concerned with the rights of others should apologize and willingness of the person. 3) Determine matters relating to fasting and Another Ramadan worship. "Demand sciences compulsory on every Muslim" (Narrated by Ibn Majah). Science that of the Prophet. meant in this hadith is the science associated with the conduct of worship which God enjoined to each slave. Every Muslim shall study science it, because legitimate or not worship does depending on such knowledge. A person who want to perform the compulsory prayers knowing the terms or the pillars or the things that cancel prayers and lainlainya, to prayer in accordance with the demands of religion. So also in this month of Ramadan Allah obliges to every Muslim who is able to fast. Then it is becomes the duty of every Muslim to equip themselves with matters relating to the terms and rukunrukun fasting, the things that broke the fast, the things dimakruhkan and allowed in fasting, the things broke the fast and other so fast that done in accordance with Islamic guidelines and actions not in vain. In addition to knowledge pertaining to fasting, other insights relating to Ramadan also need such suggestions, priorities charitable thing to do in Ramadan, and others in order every Muslim can optimize this month as possible. 4) Physical and physical. 6 Refrained from eating and drinking all day month-long course that does not require physical strength little, not to mention the strength needed for turn on the nights of Ramadan with prayers tarawih and other sunnah prayers, plus the power to emphasis on reading the Qur'an and beri'tikaf during ten days at the end of Ramadan. All this requires us always in prime condition so that it can utilize Ramadan with the optimum and maximum. Fasting sunnah in before Ramadan is one way to train themselves to prepare and familiarize themselves facing Ramadhan. Hence the Prophet. exemplifies to his people how he reproduce fasting sunnah of the month Sha'ban, as preached Aisha: "I never saw the Prophet. fast during the whole month except during Ramadan and I never seen him fasting (sunna) more than month of Sha'ban. "(Muttafaq Alaih) These are among the things that must be prepared to welcome This patience coming months. Practice-practice traditions during Ramadan: Apart from that God enjoined fasting during Ramadan there are various disunahkan deeds which this month include: 1. Mengkhatamkan Al-Quran Ramadan is the month of Al-Quran. In this month the Al- Quran was first down from the sky world lauhul mahfuz sekaliagus. Allah says: 7 Ramadan, the month in which the derived (early) Al Quran as a guidance for mankind and the explanations about the clues and distinction (between right and falsehood) (al-Baqarah: 185) Ibn Abbas RA said: "The Prophet (Muhammad SAW) is a person The most generous among humans. Generosity increased when the angel Gabriel to him every night the end of Ramadan, then the Prophet recite Al-Quran before Gabriel. At that time exceeds the generosity of the Prophet wind that blows. " These hadith recommends that every Muslim to bertadarus al-Quran, and gathered in the majlis al-Quran in the month of Ramadan. Reading and studying the Koran can performed in front of more people who understand or more memorized the Koran. Also recommended to augment reading al-Quran at night. In the above hadith, the Prophet Muhammad mudarosah and the Angel Gabriel occurs at night, because tonight is not disturbed by the daily chores. At night, someone's heart is also more easily absorbed and pondered deeds and worship are done. 2. Prayers tarawih Prophet. He said: "Those who turn night of Ramadan because of faith and hope for reward from God, his sins will be forgiven the past. "Prayers Ramadan or praying qiyaam tarawih no limitations. Partly people thought tarawih prayers be not less than 20 cycles, others think should not be greater than 11 or 13 cycles. This is a mistaken opinion that violates the theorem. Hadeeth 8 shows that prayer night is a matter of broad, there is no limit that should not be violated. There are even history which clearly says that the Prophet SAW. ever pray 11 cycles, sometimes 13 cycles or less. When Asked about the night prayer he said: "Two cycles of two cycles, if one of you worried that incoming time Let dawn prayers one witir cycles. " 3. Multiply prayer People who break their fast when one person whose prayers are efficacious. Therefore pray perbanyaklah while it is even more so when breaking fast. Pray for the good of ourselves, families, nations, and brothers our fellow Muslims around the world. 4. Giving iftar (tafthir shaim) Should strive to always provide ifthar (fast) for those who fasted even though only a sip of water or a korma as word of the Prophet which reads: "He who gives ifthar (for breaking) the people who fasted will get his reward, such as those reduced fasting without the slightest ". (Bukhari, Muslim) 5. Give alms Prophet. He said: "The best charity is charity during Ramadan "(Narrated by Tirmidhi). Ibn Abbas RA said: "The Prophet (Muhammad SAW) is a person The most generous among humans. Generosity increased when the angel Gabriel to him every night the end of Ramadan, then the Prophet recite Al-Quran before Gabriel. At that time exceeds the generosity of the Prophet wind that blows. " 9 And at the end of Ramadan, God requires that to every Muslim to issue as a tithe falsifies fasting does. 6. I'tikaf I'tikaf is silence in the mosque for worship God. I'tikaf disunahkan for men and women; because Prophet. always beri'tikaf especially at ten at night last and the wife also joined I'tikaf with him. And should multiply the person who performs I'tikaf zikr, istigfar, reading the Qur'an, praying, praying sunnah and others. 7. Umra Ramadan is the best time to perform Umrah, umra during Ramadan because it has a reward like reward of Hajj pilgrims even rewarded with the Prophet. He He said: "Umroh like pilgrims during Ramadan with me. " 8. Emphasis on doing good Ramadan is a golden opportunity for every Muslim to add 'account' for reward from Allah. In the hadith narrated by Ibn Khuzaimah and Baihaki said that sunnah practice during Ramadan as valuable practice mandatory and compulsory practice worth 70 out required practice Ramadhan. Grab every opportunity for doing good no matter how small even for a 'mere' smiles in front of others. Create creations and innovations in the act kindness to our good balance continues to grow. "And for the way it should be people racing." 10 May we include people who could use Ramadan momentum to realize ourselves and piety predicate can achieve "freedom from hell." Amen!
