Ramadhan

It's coming. Ramadhan Al-Mubarak is coming. This is the month that all Muslims have been waiting for so long. It is a blissful month. It is a month full of challenges where all Muslims are required to fast, and Muslims are required to follow certain special rules during Ramadhan, especially they have to control their eagerness to eat or preventing themselves from something that will break their fasts. It is a tough and hard day. But it is a rewarding month as the rewards of virtue for good actions will be doubled. So actually it is the month that shouldn't be wasted by any Muslims.

As for myself, Ramadhan is the month where I can train myself to control my lust. I have to control myself; not to talk badly to other people, no eating, no sleeping for hours long, need to control my attitude and etc. In the month of Ramadhan, if Muslims do not behave themselves, the rewards of their virtue will be deducted.

The interesting information about the Ramadhan is, it helps to develop humanity, sensitivity of others' problems, developing human health and also save our money. During Ramadhan, Muslims are required to fast. During the period of fasting, they will be able to feel the struggles of the unfortunate which is to eat even once a day. Ramadhan also teaches us about saving our money. During Ramadhan, there are many sales, so usually many people will overspend their money. But actually they can avoid it if they really control their lusts. During Ramadhan, we are required to control our lusts. Loosing the control will cause us bad results.

Fasting is not a new thing for me, I have experienced it since I was 5 years old. I still remember, back then my mother wont allow me to eat with my other family's members during break fast. It sounds cruel for a child, but for me, it is the best way to teach any child to fast. If not, they wont start fasting from early childhood.

Recently, I be able to save some money as I spend less on my food's expenses. I cook at my house and rarely eat outside unless it is Thursay, well that day I will have class with Mr. Jeffri. But it doesn't make me sad at all as I cant break fast with my friend. If not because of the class, I'm sure I wont be able to eat at the same table with my friends. Believe me or not, Ramadhan is the first time I've been eating with my friends. Who says Ramadhan is torturing? It is rewarding yourself.
