Optimize The Third Asharah of Ramadhan

Now we have been in the last 10 day of Ramadhan. The last 10 day of Ramadhan or the third asharah is usually called The Days of freedom From The Hellfire. Allah is so fond toward humans because He divided 10 days of Ramadhan with its each advantages. This is a notice that Allah gave "gifts" to anyone who truly understand and perform the essence of Ramadhan. If it is a gift, so who does not want to?

For several days, I am fasting in Banda Aceh. I habitually do shalat tarawih at Masjid Al-Makmur Masjid or commonly called Masjid Oman. There is a "feel" when shalat in that masjid. Not only because of the beautiful architecture style of masjid, but also the atmosphere when we do pray. It was very soothing! Imam who was directly brought from  Arab read the letters of AlQur-an softly. I felt more peaceful  and calm when heard it.

Along with my dearest, after tarawih prayers, we usually read AlQur-an despite of only just about 30 minutes. I had planned about ODOJ (One Day One Juz), but it is still very far behind the reading target. The "natural" period of woman turns to leave my Reading AlQur-an habitual. But I'm sure, where there is will, there must be a way. Even if my target during Ramadan is far from the fact, but I still do it as I can. The target has to stay awake.

Sharing is Caring

Of course we’ve all known about The Third Asharah of Ramadan’s virtue. It is to be a gift of Allah which have to be fought because not all of us can survive it.

Phenomena in society seen that closer to Eid time, the more they enjoy shopping center. They are being busy with mode and prestige. Masjid is becoming forgotten by them. How poor..

While gifts Allah has clear meaning, many people do not pay it attention. Actually time keeps rolling all the time. Time constantly keeps running without being able to go back again. This is what I feel in Ramadan this year. I wasted Ramadan last year. That is why I want to maximize my fast and hope in Allah ridha.

Charity For Palestine

Caring with Palestine will be useless if we do nothing for it. Many people think that helping Palestine is very hard because in reality they have to be a volunteer to fight againt Israel’s attacks. So, what are your contributions to support people over there? Have you been ready to fight them? I absolutely sure some of you have not been ready yet! Piteous and horrible pictures which shared via social media extremerely built your fear. But you only just update Palestine’s info from media then broadcast it on bbm, share it on facebook, twitter, and give more attention through instagram. Unfortunately, some of you share it without read it’s caption. Our feeling is just “pitiful”, and “anger”. We just do nothing!

Okay, sharing information about Palestine’s is good idea to make other people care with, but it will be better if we can do the real action even though it is not a significant action for helping. That is charity.

The best attention for them that we can give is charity. Yap, solidarity by fund raising. I think it is just the easiest thing we can do for them. I did it along with friends at Simpang Lima the day after yesterday (July 15^th 2014). That was my fascinating experience I have ever done. Truly, it was my second experience walking on and accrossing the road at traffic light! We did it! Haha. I did not why I took that risk. Everybody might be shy standing on the road while holding a box for asking “Rupiah”. Yet I just enjoyed it! I really did not care with anyone who had stopped at traffic light. I did not care to dust or crowded situation on that afternoon. Occasionally I had to keep smile if a driver teased me. Huwoo! >.<
