RAMADAN GREATEST AWARD

Allâh Azza wa Exalted gave his slaves tasting very much and not counted. Allâh Azza wa Exalted said:

وَإِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصُوهَا

And if you count the favors Allâh, you will not be able to count them [Ibrahim/14:34]

Favors-favors that there is absolute and there are muqayyad (tied); There are religious and some are mundane. Allâh Azza wa Exalted shows his slaves to the pleasure-the pleasure then Allâh Azza wa Exalted also guide them to gain pleasure. Allâh Azza wa Exalted also exhorts the servants to enter into dâris salâm (heaven). Allâh Azza wa Exalted said:

وَاللَّهُ يَدْعُو إِلَىٰ دَارِ السَّلَامِ وَيَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ

Allâh (human) crying to dârus salâm (heaven), and guides people he wills to a straight path (of Islam). [Yûnus/10:25]

Allâh Azza wa Exalted intellect and physical health confers upon them a sustenance, providing halal, subjecting them to what is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the Earth. All grace comes Allâh Azza wa Exalted given to his slaves that they might give thanks to him, serve him only and not anything. By doing it all, they'll reach for the pleasure of Allâh Azza wa Exalted and could survive the punishment.

One example of the great favors Allâh Azza wa Exalted give to his servants who believe that is disyari'atkannya for them fasting month Ramadan that is full of blessings. Allâh Azza wa Exalted makes this fast as one of the pillars of Islam. Because of the fast is a great favour that Allâh Azza wa Exalted gave to his servant, then Allâh Azza wa Exalted closing verse containing commands for fasting in the month of Ramadan with his word:

وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

That ye may be grateful [al-Baqarah 2:185]

 

Because the purpose of the creation is grateful for being and giving of diverse pleasures.

The nature of the favors is to acknowledge gratitude coming from Allâh Azza wa Exalted coupled with submission to him, humble yourself and love him.

Whoever does not know an enjoyably so he can not be thankful.

If anyone know a pleasure but she did not know the Pemberinya so he will not be able to thanks.

He who knows and knows the pleasures of Pemberinya but he is denying the pleasure then it means he has against the scrumptious kufur.

He who knows and knows the giver of pleasure and he also acknowledges the pleasure, just that he does not submit to him, does not obey him, and don't love the giver and not pleased with him, then he is not considered to be grateful.

He who knows and knows the pleasure giver then he submits to his love, the giver of pleasure against him as well as those in favor of using the things that loved him and in order to obey him, then he is the man who is said to be grateful to a pleasure.

From this explanation, it seems clear that gratitude was awakened above five rules:

• Submission of people who thank Allâh

• Love Him,

• Acknowledge the favour that Allâh Azza wa Exalted favored him,

• Praise him because he gave favors to him,

• Using the favour in order mentaat,

Five things it is the Foundation of gratitude. When one of the five Foundation is missing or does not exist, then the gratitude is not considered or its value decreases. And all the people who talk about gratitude and understanding, then the Word will never go out of five of the above.

In an effort to realize a sense of gratitude to this man, or the servant of Allâh Azza wa Exalted is divided into different levels depending on the extent to which they know the creators of the Noblest, "sublime tasting Giver. Among them there are who understand the name and nature of Allâh Azza wa Exalted in detail, to understand how great his creation and his perbutatan, knowing how beautiful the creation of Allâh. People like this in heart will be filled with the love of Allâh, lisannya will be filled with praise, limbs will always do things that approves by Allâh. He admitted all favors given to it, and use it on things that are loved and approves by Allâh Azza wa and exalted. Among men there is a sink in the negligence and ignorance about Allâh Subhanahu wa Ta'ala. People who like this will be increasingly far from Allâh Azza wa and exalted by reason of which he did against Allâh, or favors he is not mengingkarinya but she did not want to submit to and obey his commandments and against Shari'ah Allâh Azza wa and exalted.

 

The month of Ramadan are full of divine grace is blessing to all slaves to the faithful, so that they grow in their faith, while people who are speeding limit (which perform various offences-red) as well as disparaging Shariah could repent unto Allâh Azza wa and exalted. Allâh Azza wa this month blessed and exalted with different specificity and privileges does not exist in the other.

Here be mentioned some of the perks this month with the hope that we can be able to understand how great the favour of Ramadan that we increasingly moved to give worship Allâh Azza wa and exalted with the truth.

a. month of Ramadan particularly with al-Qur'ân, because this month al-Qur'ân were revealed as a guidance for mankind. Allâh Azza wa Exalted said:

شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِنَ الْهُدَىٰ وَالْفُرْقَانِ

Ramadan, the month in which was revealed the al-Qur'ân, a guidance for mankind and clear proofs for the guidance and the criterion (between right and wrong) [al-Baqarah 2:185]

In the verse, Allâh Azza wa Exalted flattering Ramadan among other months, by selecting it as the time of the revelation of the Qur'an, even mentioned in a Hadith that months Ramadhân is the time lowered the entire books of Allâh Azza wa and exalted to the prophets. In the Musnad of Imam Ahmad works and works of Imam Al-Tabaraani Kabîr Mu'jamul of sahaabah Wâtsilah bin ' Asqa ', Rasûlullâh sallallaahu ' alaihi wa sallam said:

أُنْزِلَتِ صُحُفُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ، وَأُنْزِلَتِ التَّوْرَاةُ لِسِتٍّ مَضَيْنَ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، وَالْإِنْجِيلُ لِثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ خَلَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ، وَأُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ لِأَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ خَلَتْ مِنْ رَمَضَانَ

Shuhuf Ibrâhim Prophet was revealed on the first night of Ramadan, and the law on the sixth day of the month of Ramadan, while the Gospel on the thirteenth day of the month of Ramadan, while al-Qur'ân were revealed at the twenty-fourth day of the month of Ramadan [3].

This hadeeth indicates that the books samawiyah was revealed to the Apostles on the Ramadan, just that the books were unloaded at once (not staged), while al-Qur'ân because of the glory and Majesty, she unloaded at once into the sky world Izzah Baitil (first) and it occurs when the laylat Al-Qadr in Ramadan, as the word Allâh Azza wa Exalted:

إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ

We have it down (al-Qur'ân), on the night of glory [al-Qadr/97:1]

And his word:

إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُبَارَكَةٍ ۚ إِنَّا كُنَّا مُنْذِرِينَ

Verily, we are ever on a night which is endowed and indeed we are giving a warning. [ad-Dukhân/44:3]

Then after that, was revealed to the Prophet Sallallaahu ' alaihi wa sallam gradually. This shows the specialness of the month of Ramadan. And this month it became privileged because al-Qur'ân, which in this Ummah man obtained a great virtue of Allâh, namely the descent of revelation Allâh Azza wa Exalted who brought guidance to mankind of the Muslims, for their kindness in the world and in the hereafter. the Qur'an is also a differentiator between instructions and error, distinguishing between haq and falsehood, between light and darkness.

 

b. month of Ramadan be special because her the laylat Al-Qadr is no Allâh Azza wa Exalted mentioned in his word:

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ ﴿٢﴾ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

And do you know what is the laylat Al-Qadr (night of power)? The night of power is better than a thousand months. [al-Qadr/97:2-3]

It means the practice is done on lailatul qadr is better than a deeds done in a thousand months in addition to the month of Ramadan.

c. Ramadan be special too because there is fasting. Fasting this month could be the cause of the vanishing of sin. In a Hadith by Imam al-Bukhâri and Muslim from Abu Hurairah Radi anhu, the Prophet alaihi wa sallam said:

مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ

Whoever fasted in Ramadan with faith and hope, all his previous sins will be forgiven [4]

What is meant by full faith is faith filled to Allâh Azza wa and exalted by expecting reward and recompense from him, not hate against the obligation of fasting and did not hesitate against reward will he obtained. People like this, will be forgiven all the sins of the past by Allâh Azza wa and exalted. Mentioned in the Shahîh Muslim from Abu Hurayrah companions Radi anhu, Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu ' alaihi wa sallam said:

الصَّلَوَاتُ الخَمْسُ ، وَالجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الجُمُعَةِ ، وَرَمَضَانُ إِلَى رَمَضَانَ مُكَفِّراتٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ إِذَا اجْتُنِبَتِ الكَبَائِرُ

The five daily prayers, Friday between the one with the other, and between Ramadan which is one with the other, that among all sins will be forgiven by Allâh Azza wa Exalted, if great sins have shunned [5]

This month is also the devil is bound, the doors of heaven opened, and the gates of hell are closed, and Allâh Azza wa Exalted on every night of the month of Ramadan freed many people from the fire of hell.

d. this month also Allâh Azza wa Exalted won the Muslims over their enemies diperang Badr, whereas the number of enemies at the time tripling of the number of Muslims. This month also, Allâh Azza wa Exalted conquered the city Mecca through the hands of Muhammad sallallaahu ' alaihi wa sallam, purify the city of Mecca from dirt, and there are three hundred and sixty sculptures are in the Ka'bah and its surroundings. The Prophet destroyed the statues while reading:

وَقُلْ جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ ۚ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا

And say, "the right has come and falsehood has vanished". Verily falsehood it is something that is definitely gone. [al-Isrâ '/17:81]

(With all), then the month of Ramadan is the month to month and meant it for charity, Moon worship and jihad in the way of Allâh.

By virtue of that is owned by this month as well as a variety of grace that Allâh Azza wa Exalted give to his servants who believe in this, then it should exalt servants this month and made this month as a moment for worship as well as add provision for the hereafter.

O Allah Azza wa Exalted therefore we included people who understand and respect the position of the month of Ramadan! Give her to us to do the practices of thy good pleasure! Verily thou art the Supreme Hear prayers.
