The presence of God Almighty, we really should try in every moment. Moreover this is done in the month of Ramadan. Because this month is a holy month, full of virtue. Dilipatgandakannya month reward charity. Among the secret and the main lesson of worship in the month of Ramadan is to strengthen the position of human ruhiah. For that, we should be able to take advantage of this moment of Ramadan with optimally capable of conducting activities over / to approach and reach of His love.

The servant class is loved by Allah SWT, including a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, devoted, faithful, doing good, doing justice, apply patience, trust, repent, saint, and strive in Allah's way in an orderly row / organized .

The formation of such persons is, of course gained through a long process full of perseverance in reach. Here, the first key and the necessary construction is how we can over / mendekatan yourself to God as the initial step to reach his love.

Here, there are a series of practices that we can do in the month of Ramadan, including the following:

Reproduce charity.

For Muslims, Ramadan is the largest area in improving good deeds. From Ibn 'Abbas, he said: "Prophet was the most generous and greater generosity in the month of Ramadan when Gabriel to him. Gabriel usually see him every night of Ramadan, then Tadarus Qur'an with him. It was the Prophet when met by Gabriel to be more generous with his kindness, (and more) than the wind. "(Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).

One of the alms deeds that can be done is to give food break (tajil). Zaid bin Khalid Al Juhairi said, the Prophet said, "Who gives food to break for people who shaum, then he gets a reward like that shaum without prejudice to reward people who shaum it one bit." (Narrated by At Turmudzi, Ahmad , and Nasai).
 
Reproduce read the Qur'an (Tadarus).

In reading the Qur'an reproduce this there are three things to note. (a) Reading the Qur'an with the correct reading. The Prophet said, "Read the Koran because he would come on the Day of Resurrection as a defender of his friend." (Narrated by Muslim).

(b) Studying the content of the Qur'an and trying to remove it. "When a people come together in a panel to study the Book of Allah, then it would descend upon them dilipati peace and grace and surrounded by angels and remembered by God before the angels around him." (Narrated by Abu Hurairah).

(c) permeate and merenunginya when reading the Qur'an. They are endowed with taufik and guidance when reading the Qur'an, then they really merenunginya that pervades and even laughing tears ran down her cheeks. When the Prophet heard their cries, so he went to cry with them, then he said, "It will go to hell those who weep for fear of Allah Almighty."

Istigfar reproduce, dhikr, and prayer.

Istigfar means begging forgiveness effort (Maghfirah) Him. Qatada said: "Verily this Qur'an guides you about your illness and drug antidotes. The illness is a sin, while the medicine is to seek forgiveness. "

Associated with dhikr, Shamsuddin Al-Imam Ibn al-Qayyim said, "Verily dhikr is a staple food for the heart and spirit, when the servant of God arid of spray dhikr, it will be like a body which he blocked for food that the body blocked to obtain basic foods." The Dzikrullah that can be done: Subhaanallah, Praise, and Laa ilaha Allah.

In the meantime, Allah commands us to pray to Him and He will mengkabulkan prayer of His servant. "Pray to Me, I shall grant your prayer." (Surat al-Mu'min: 60). At the time of day and night in the month of Ramadan is the primary time, then fill it with the opportunity to multiply istigfar, dhikr and prayer to God. Among makbulnya a prayer time is during Ramadan, when breaking the fast, when dawn, the day Friday, third last night, and other special conditions.

Turning on the night with prayer.

On the night of Ramadan, we are encouraged to pray at night. From Abu Hurairah, the Prophet actually said: "Whoever put through prayer (at night) Ramadan with faith and hope for His pleasure, then his sins past will be forgiven." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).

Prayer night (Qiyamullail) in the month of Ramadan is called Qiyamullailatur Ramadan and the other called prayers of Ramadan Tahajjud. The Prophet said in one of his saying, "Prayer is the most important after the obligatory prayers is Qiyamullail (prayer in the middle of the night)." (Muttafaq 'alaih). In addition, this Qiyamullail can make someone who did, in the morning to be fresh, enthusiastic and relaxed her.
 
Reproduce worship when the last ten nights in the month of Ramadan.

One service that needs to be done in the last ten days in the month of Ramadan is to I'tikaf and trying to get "Laylat al-Qadr". I'tikaf is worship that summarizes the various charities such as reading the Qur'an obedience, prayer, remembrance, prayer, etc.. Messenger highly recommend to implement I, this tikaf ten last night. Explained in a hadith, Aisha ra. said, "It is the Prophet beri'tikaf on nights last ten days in the month of Ramadan to death, then continued to do it by his wives." (Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim).

Fetch fortune: Thinking, Acting and Pray

Fetch fortune: Thinking, Acting and Pray
By: ARDA DINATA
http://www.miqra.blogspot.com.

GOD Almighty has designed a way of life, not another human in order to draw lessons from each episode of life in this world.

Similarly, the issue of livelihood. Every human being, should be able to carefully pick up fortunes that have been spread God on earth according to His will.

Here is my experience in knitting fortunes ride on school days until now. The story, in 1992 I started college in Bandung is alone (read: no wandering --- --- relatives). Therefore, the cost of living and tuition smooth at the time of arrival of only relying on the old post in Indramayu.

The beginning of college, sent by their parents were still smooth. However, stepping on second year, was sent from the parents was started late (due to the limited income of parents, one factor).

I think and believe, this is clearly the scenario of God. Finally, with the incident, I started thinking. How can I help parents and help themselves in terms of cost of living.

At that time, I think, whatever that job --- as long as lawful and does not interfere with school activities ---, which is important to bring good fortune (read: money), I want to do it.

Since then, I started thinking: what about the fit and can be done to realize these desires. Singat story, I finally lured to the world of writing.

Through the world of this writing, I can finally pick up fortunes that can facilitate the cost of my life in Bandung. More precisely, after I scattered a few dozen writings / articles to several mass media, there is finally published. At that time, I really keep trying to make the writings of the editor liking. In my mind, God must have seen every persistence (work effort) of each of His creatures. So it is with me, in the beginning started to write, a lot of articles / writings that are not loaded. But, I am not discouraged and continued to improve and pray to God. Hopefully this effort to get instructions and ridho Him.

The fruit of these efforts, Alhamdulillah I can get a fortune from writing activities. And until recently, these activities still do.

Being a writer, I think it can be used to collect charity field fortunes of God. In addition, through the medium of writing, we are also able to preach prosperity Islamiyah souls.

Wisdom we can get this from my experience, at least is that whatever form our efforts in the fetch fortunes, surely can not be separated from the buck (think), do hold (act), and pray all the time on the owner's fortune alone. Ie Allaah. And God willing, that good fortune will come to us. Wallahu'alam .***

Role Sharing in Unity Frame

Role Sharing in Unity Frame
By: ARDA DINATA
http://www.miqra.blogspot.com.

The life of this world like a stage play. There is a lot of featured roles, but it was all for the success of a show. Similarly, in real human life, we see a variety of roles dilakoninya life. But, should the reality of differences that role does not make us to be divided. Because for Muslims, share roles / differences that role solely to worship God Almighty.

Differences role is a necessity in this life. God created nature and contents, in the sunna differences within a framework of unity. In humans, for example, could we see a difference in ethnicity, nation, language, etc..

The difference (in sharing the role) is, in the teachings of Islam should be viewed as a blessing that God Almighty sent down to His creatures. And below, there are some unifying factors that can be positioned to share the role of Muslim unity frame.

Submission Only the Almighty God.

With full awareness that any differences in the role held by a person solely in terms of God, so that for Muslims it would reposition the role solely to subject and obedient to His provisions.

He said, "... and (make) in between our children and grandchildren of the people submissive to You ..." (Surat al-Baqarah [2]: 128). This verse teaches that the difference did not forget the role solely in the context of unity for the submission "face" to God Almighty.

Mutual Advise prioritize.

Wisdom distinction shared this role, as well as land intended to complement each other, including Islam taught in the form of advice, advise each other among the different roles of life.

God says, "And, should any of you party people who call to virtue, sent to the kindness, and prevent the unjust ..." (Surat Ali 'Imran [3]: 104th). Wisdom of this verse, Muslims would have to have a role in advising each other sectors of goodness and patience in adversity; sector led to the good; and prevent the kemungkaran sector.

Type the Same Life Creation.

Indeed God created this life was not in vain. And the only people who could use the thought that captures the lesson, including the creation of systems of this life. Allah Almighty says, "And, Nor stars that are on earth and the birds that fly with both wings, but the peoples (also) like you ..." (Surat al-An'am [6]: 38) .

From these verses, we are taught that even though our roles are different, but we have similarities in the ways of life on other sectors that could be developed jointly, such as the cooperation of the two wings of the bird.

Destination highlights the Same.

In life people in this world, illustrated the various ways of life of diverse, but a clear purpose in life as Muslims must be reached a degree of pleasure of Allah SWT. And the difference is the way a person's life, should not make us stay away from the only "purpose" is really the same.

Allah SWT Assuming such phenomena in the QS. Al-Qasas [28]: 23), which means: ".... He found there a group of people who are water (animals) ..."

Attitude similarity of the Da'wah of the Prophet.

Any differences that role, should not be placed in a position contrary to the common attitude of preaching the teachings of the Prophet. That is, the equation to perform religious references in this appreciation would have led to a strength of one race.

In another sense, if the referral role of what we do is contrary to the sunna of the Prophet., Then the role can not unite people. In one hadith of the Prophet., Said, "my people will not be gathered in error." (Narrated by Ibn Majah).

Finally, it was time for Muslims in Indonesia to be able to share his expertise on the role as the sunna of the Prophet., But he should also remain in the corridor looking for the grace of Allah Almighty as the actualization of Islam who brought mercy to the whole of nature. Waalahu'alam .***

Ways Towards Unified Ummat

Ways Towards Unified Ummat
By: ARDA DINATA
http://www.miqra.blogspot.com.

TOGETHER meant to be one; assembled or joined together. As good as any power, if scattered, will undoubtedly become very weak and easily fooled. The situation of a people depends on him, if they are stupid, it will be easily deceived. If he is weak, it will be easily suppressed. When we are scattered, it will be easily conquered.

For that, please consider yourself the fate of Muslims in this country, which he says is the largest Muslim Ummah in the world? Proof, we can see and feel their own economic situation, social, cultural, political, we were so weak that controlled by the party who does not like us.

Like a tiny stick, which, when joined and strongly bound together, will be able to sweep the streets, even though the ditch water or may also be used to hit and drive a dog! That is, if we, who are going to be weak is determined to unite together to build, will be born who would benefit from strength, not only for ourselves but also for the nation. The impact, if born will be born of justice are love and prosperity.

Word of God Almighty, "Surely believers are brothers Therefore make peace between your brethren and fear Allah that ye may obtain mercy." (Surat al Hujurat: 10). Ukhuwah Islamiyah grew from the roots of Islamic faith. Islamic theology and this will grow shoots of Islamic brotherhood. Among the efforts that we can begin to do, for the success of a ukhuwah is as follows.

1. Commitment to the building.

So many building materials that are complete in a shop window (specific) building materials vendors. But, he can not form a beautiful building, is not solid, but everything has been complete. The reason is because there was no commitment to become a building.

Conditions, there will be different after the determination to build a house designed by experts, and then gradually building materials are arranged neatly in place that have been planned, mutually reinforcing and beautified, so the result is a solid building, beautiful and full benefits.

In other words, there will never be a strong unity, beautiful and full benefits, before between coreligionists there is a strong determination, depth and accompanied by sound planning concepts, and implementation of a more truly consistent, istiqomah are covered with patience and a genuine sacrifice for the sake of success together.

For that, on us there should be a vibrant spirit will unite and unify the ummah, always pictured a big benefit, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations. Start with an adequate science preparation to proceed to unite the Ummah and is ready to sacrifice wealth, power and time. Without awareness of such vibrant in every self-ummah, then indeed thin ukhuwah hope this will materialize.

2. The difference is the strength.

Strength will come, when supported by the components that make up a force itself. One component of that, of course have differences with each other mutual support in creating a force.

Like a house building firm, then he was awakened by the differences of building materials. There are couple of stone, brick, mortar, iron, wood, tiles, dll.yang make him stand firm. Let us imagine, if the building was just a pile of stone, brick or mortar course, then the building will be easily robah and not look good.

The difference is the ornament of life and helping people who live. He is human nature and variety of the most important part of the primary side kehiduan. We can see that the difference would look beautiful, when we can put them together according to the rules and values of Islam.

Therefore, it should be the era of human thought today is the era of maturity, because Islam has become covering the sky treatises sent to mankind, when man has reached maturity stage. Islam regards the difference as a manifestation of the omnipotence of God over His creation and grace that God revealed to His creatures. With a difference, life becomes a dynamic and not stangnan, because it will deliver a competition of each element to do the best.
 
3. Do not weight around.

Each of us has assets in the form of a power ummah. Because every success we get in reality there are contributions from the role of others. Therefore, it is wise if among us in building the unity of this ummah, not trying to mutual self-effacing. Let our name is not mentioned, provided we really have a role in ensuring the interests of the Ummah. Because Allah's reward would not be wrong again confused.

It's beautiful, if we could follow the example of the cooperation of a building firm and beautiful. For example, how relanya a foundation stone to be buried in the ground to cement buildings, brick masonry, which formed insulation baffle-plastered building with sand and cement mixture to make it look beautiful, etc.. So on down to the top of the building (roof tiles), they are not mutually self-effacing that he was the most worthy, but they are obviously sincere and complementary for the success of a building firm and beautiful. It was extraordinary, if Muslims can follow the example of the attitude components that make up a building.

4. Themselves part of the success of others.

It was fortunate for those who have thoughts and actions that he has tried best to be a road to success for himself and others. True success is when other people feel the pleasure of the success we achieve. In another sense, berusha ourselves to be part of the success of others.

We should, be happy if other people become successful. Not the other way, we are trying to obstruct the success of others. Because it does not mean, if we get the success that can only be felt by ourselves. Success is essential, none other than the success together. Even better, if we ourselves are a part of the success of others.
 
5. Starting from yourself.

Behavior ranging from yourself is something that is easy and safe to do each one, rather than sent to the behavior of others. Starting from the self, it also means he has the right initiative, prior to project it to others. This means that calling activity goodness (read: create a united ummah) to others are considered effective, if started with a call to do good to yourself first.

Do not expect success is created, if we only demand the other party. And to us, did not start their own success in terms of building it. For that, do not we demand others to form a united ummah without starting from yourself to get started. Thus, the Ummah will unite more quickly realized, if each of us make it happen starting from yourself, start in small things, and do it from now. Waallahu'alam .***

Earthly avoid dependence

Earthly avoid dependence
By: ARDA DINATA
http://www.miqra.blogspot.com

In this life, things that are mundane, such property and other property, is not a guarantee for the safety of a person if he is unable to manage it well. Conversely, absence of ownership of worldly wealth will not be made miserable, if we berepagangan fast to the rope of Allah swt.

For that, so we avoid the dependence will love the world and not ignore the delicious world, it is necessary to balance the look of this worldly wealth. That we should behave toward zuhud. The main principle is to leave the dependency zuhud, but not necessarily leave the property.

Concepts like that, that should be embedded in the soul of a Muslim. These instructions can be found in the Qur'an. Allah Most High says, "And when the prayer has been fulfilled then you bertebarlah on earth, and seek the gift of God. And remember God in mind that many, so you're getting lucky. "(Surat al-Jumuah [62]: 10). This verse can be an indication of no restrictions on ownership. However, on the other information expressly forbids Allah for anyone who relies heavily on the world alone and unfettered by the jewels. Allah Most High says, "So turn away (O Muhammad) of the person who turns away from us and who do not desire but the life of this world." (Surat An-Najm [53]: 29).

Here, there are some steps we can do to avoid dependence on winding worldly wealth.

Do not put earthly things in the heart.

Zuhud people will put the world in his hands and not meletakannya at heart, and not to throw it away. This is the first key if we are to survive with earthly riches.

Therefore, let him with God and his heart more dominated by the pleasure of obedience, because the liver can not be completely free from the love (read: love the world or the love of God). Both this love in your heart like water and air in a glass.

That is why, perhaps why Hisham ibn Hassan once said, "No one who exalts dirhams but God will humiliate him."

Not lost in the hunt for worldly wealth.

Behavior lost in chasing worldly wealth is something dangerous. Because it is possible opportunities and the seriousness of a person in the hunt for worldly wealth will result in people forgetting to perform religious duties. So in the end, it would make the freeze and harden his heart and his soul becomes dry.

History shows us, how many holy souls eventually contaminated. The existence of a strong rope ukhuwah finally ended with hatred and kehncuran. That way, others are not due to the competition between them in the search for worldly wealth and forget the Hereafter. Was Uthman ibn Affan and Abdur Rahman bin Auf ra., The exemplary figure, because he was famous rich, but always thinking about the hereafter.

Does not accumulate worldly wealth pile.

Satan as an enemy of mankind, it will always try to seduce and persuade wealthy people to continue to hoard and accumulate wealth, but not in the way of Allah menginfakkannya. Whereas the position of wealth (property) in the Islamic view of God is the treasure and the man was tied in spending with the provisions of his honor.

Therefore, in order not love the world, then we have to position the world's wealth as a road, not the only goal, nor as a reason that can explain all the events. So we have to consider what is said that Al Manawy, "Treasure that will not be condemned by itself, then the world's wealth is in akherat field. Whoever takes the world's wealth by maintaining the Shari'a law, Allah will bring relief in akheratnya. "

Thus, the wealth treasure how people who have it, because he could be a good and well if not careful he will enslave us.

Menginfakkan soon gained worldly wealth.

Piling-piling behavior property wealth would lead them to forget the poor people. So to avoid this, we should try to get menginfakkan wealth we have gained.

In the Qur'an, Allah Ta'ala guide us to spend the wealth associated with this property, namely: "And those who, when spending (property) they are not extravagant and not (too) stingy but is (spending) in the middle of the case. "(Surat al-Baqarah [2]: 67).

Furthermore, in order that we avoid the dependence on the wealth of the world, we are forbidden to throw himself to the destruction. God says, "And spend (bendamu property) in the way of Allah and do not you drop yourself into destruction, and do good, for Allah loves those who do good." (Surat al-Baqarah [2]: 195) .

One form of good attitude toward the world's wealth is immediately menginfakkannya in God's way. The Prophet said, "O son of Adam, in fact if you give the excess to berinfak is better for you. And if you are stingy is worse for you. And do not be wasteful of wealth. And help to people who need help. And hand over better than the lower hand. "(Narrated by Muslim, Turmudzi).

In another hadith mentioned, "Keep you from being stingy, because actually most of the people before you have perished, due to avarice." (Narrated by David).

Finally, if the purpose of our life purpose only God, so when a gift of worldly wealth, will be gratefully knelt presence of Him. And nothing will ever be disappointed with how much He has given him. So, this should in terhujam determination that he would not willingly and not the slightest intention to drown himself in wealth owned property outside of his guidance. Wallahu'alam .***
