I have been fasting in Ramadhan since I was a kid which was 10 years old. I have fast before that but doesn't count coz its only for half day, in the evening I will break the fast without my mom knowing it. ...hahhahaha =p
Why do I fast?? When I was a kid, I fast because its my mom's order and no one can disobey that. During teenager, I fast because all of my friends fast. Now, I am wondering why I fast??
Hmm.....mayb, because what a muslim should do and that wat has Quran said.
During Ramadhan, we not only fast but we also controls our manners and heart. We should avoid ourselves from backbitting, gossipping, reading unrelevant material. Try to help those who is poor, give them food during breaking fast, doesn't matter wether that person is muslim or not muslim. To be a good muslim we need to be good to evryone around us. Treat everyone equally.
Control your three main senses which are eyes, tounge and ears and also your finger( in this technology era we can gosipping using finger). Use it wisely. This reminder not only for all of you, but also for myself. Lets try to change ourselves during this Ramadhan and hopefully this changes continue.
Surah Al Baqarah 2:185
"Ramadhaan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur`aan as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgement (between right and wrong) ...."
Surah Al-Baqarah 2:183
"O you who believe! Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those who were before you that you may have piety.”
What famous during Ramadhan in Malaysia....Bazaar Ramadhan of course!!!! There will be a lot of stall selling various of food. You will be stunned by all the delicious food. But, do control yourself in Bazaar Ramadhan. I'm sure during fast, you will feel like you want to eat a lot of thing, but believeme , you dun want follow your desire/lust as you will regret it. Buy only what is needed in SMALL amount.
Here are some photos of Baazar Ramadhan
Happy fasting everyone and salam ramadhan..... :)
