Fasting In Islam

Fasting In Islam
Fasting during ramdhan is one the five pillars of islam. This is because the prophet (peace be upon him) said islam is upheld by five pillars: first, to bear witness that there is no other god but allah and that muhammad is his messenger. The second is to pray regulary. Third, to pay zakat to the poor. Fourth, to fast during the month of ramadhan. Fifth, to visit the house of god in mecca once in a lifetime, for those who are able to make the journey.
Fasting can be defined as abstaining from eating, drinking, smoking and having sexual intercourse from dawn to sunset. Fasting for the month of ramadhan waas prescribed during the second year of the hijra. Fasting was an ancient from worship prescribed by god from the beginning of time. The aim of ordering people to fast is that they should learn how to be patient, to have good morals, to purify their hearts, to ennoble their character and to be gentle in dealing with people. One should feel the sufferings of hunger and thirst in order to be quick to help those who are suffering when seeing them. One must always learn to feel the fear of god and his mercy. Fasting in islam has been prescribed by the qur’an and the sayings of the prophet. The qur’an says : “O, you who believe, fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that you may learn self-restraint”.
The reward of the accepted fasting is paradise. God the almighty gives great reward for fasting as much or more than we can realized. This is because fasting is secret between man and his god, therefore, it is the only aspect of worship that has been attributed to god. It has come down to us in the traditions of the prophet when he said: “Any kind of good action done by the children of adam will be rewarded ten times to seven hundred times and may be more, according to the wiil of god”. God said : “except fasting for it is an attribute of me and I will reward it, because one who fasts is giving up his desires and his food for my sake”. Fasting is a protection. When one is fasting he should not utter bad words, he should not raise his voice. If someone insults him, or fight him, he should remind himself that he is fasting by saying: “ I am fasting, I swear by god, who has muhammad’s soul in his hand that the smell of mouth of the one who fast is better than perfume in the sight of god”.



Puasa Dalam Islam
Puasa selama Ramdhan adalah salah salah satu rukun islam. Hal ini karena Nabi (saw) mengatakan bahwa dalam islam ditegakkan oleh lima pilar: pertama, untuk bersaksi bahwa tidak ada Tuhan selain Allah dan bahwa Muhammad adalah utusan-Nya. Yang kedua adalah untuk sholat. Ketiga, untuk membayar zakat kepada orang miskin. Keempat, untuk berpuasa selama bulan ramadhan. Kelima, untuk mengunjungi rumah Allah di Mekkah sekali dalam seumur hidup, bagi mereka yang mampu untuk melakukan perjalanan.
Puasa dapat didefinisikan sebagai berpantang atau menahan dari makan, minum, merokok dan melakukan hubungan seksual dari fajar hingga matahari terbenam. Puasa untuk bulan ramadhan dilakukan selama tahun kedua hijrah. Puasa adalah ibadah dari ketentuan tuhan yang diterapkan mulai pada zaman kuno. Tujuan memerintahkan orang untuk berpuasa adalah bahwa mereka harus belajar bagaimana untuk bersabar, memiliki moral yang baik, untuk memurnikan hati mereka, untuk memuliakan karakter mereka dan menjadi lembut dalam berurusan dengan orang. Karena itu mereka harus merasakan penderitaan lapar dan haus agar mereka maumembantu mereka yang menderita ketika melihat mereka. Dan selanjutnya harus selalu belajar untuk merasa takut Tuhan dan rahmat-Nya. Puasa di dalam islam telah diterangkan atau dijelaskan oleh qur'an dan perkataan nabi. qur'an mengatakan: “Wahai, orang yang beriman, puasa diwajibkan atas kamu sebagaimana diwajibkan kepada orang-orang sebelum kamu agar Anda dapat belajar menahan diri”.

Pahala yang akan didapat dari puasa adalah diterima di dalam surga. Allah Maha Kuasa, akan memberikan pahala yang besar bagi puasa sebanyak-banyaknya atau lebih dari yang kita bisa kita ketahui. Hal ini karena puasa adalah rahasia antara manusia dan tuhannya, oleh karena itu, satu-satunya aspek ibadah yang telah dikaitkan dengan tuhan (Alloh). Itu telah sampai kepada kita dalam tradisi nabi ketika beliau bersabda: “Setiap jenis tindakan baik yang dilakukan oleh anak-anak adam akan dihargai atau akan diberikan pahala sepuluh kali untuk tujuh ratus kali dan mungkin lebih, yang diberikan oleh tuhan”. Allah berfirman: “Kecuali puasa untuk itu dilakukan untuk saya dan saya akan membalasnya, karena orang yang berpuasa adalah menahan keinginannya dan makanannya karena Aku”. Puasa adalah perlindungan. Ketika seseorang berpuasa ia seharusnya tidak mengucapkan kata-kata buruk, dan ia tidak harus menaikkan suaranya. Jika seseorang menghina dia, atau melawan dia, dia harus mengingatkan dirinya bahwa ia sedang berpuasa dengan mengatakan: “Saya berpuasa, Aku bersumpah demi Tuhan, yang memiliki jiwa muhammad di tangannya bahwa bau mulut orang yang berpuasa lebih baik dari parfum di mata Tuhan”.

Divine Tax

Divine Tax Zakat is one of the five pillars of islam, it’s aim is to meet the social needs of the muslim society and to improve the economic position in islam. The word zakat means purification, blessing and increasing. It is a kind of protection of the wealth of those who are rich. When a muslim pays his zakat he is protecting his money from unexpected disaster, for the prophet said, “protect your property by giving zakat and help your relatives to recover from their illness by giving charity.” Zakat is an obligatory payment, like a tax, and the english translation is “poor dues”. It could be called a divine tax, for it has been prescribed by god in the holy qur’an and in the sayings of the prophet. The holy qur’an says in many places, “keep up regular prayer and give zakat,” and one of the sayings of the prophet when mu’az was sent to yemen was, “you will come to folk who are people of the book, so invite them to testify that there is no god but god and that muhammad is god’s
