FACTS ABOUT RAMADAN

I have found an article which is unbiased about Islam and facts of Ramadan.For those who want to know more about Islam and Ramadan, here is the article ' Ramadan; 5 things You Didn't Know.' by Ryan Mckee. I hope it is beneficial to all of us.

Ramadan: 5 Things You Didn't Know
By Ryan Mckee

Most people wouldn’t get quite so excited for Christmas or Hanukkah if they were preceded by a month of refraining from food, drinking, sex, smoking, and anything that is not of a good nature or in excess from dawn until sunset. That’s exactly what the Muslim religion does during one of their biggest holidays, Ramadan. The fasting is meant to teach followers patience, modesty, spirituality, and to remind them of their religious obligations. Since it is for the sake of Allah, they’re also encouraged to pray more than usual. While roughly 22% of the world's population practices Islam, many non-Muslims know very little about their holidays. Here are five interesting basics you didn’t know about Ramadan.

1- Ramadan is the ninth month on the Islamic calendar

The Islamic calendar is different from the Gregorian calendar we use in the West. Ours is a solar calendar, based upon the sun’s movements. The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar; each month begins with the sighting of the new crescent moon. While we have 365 days in a year, they have 354 days. Because the lunar year is shorter, each date on it falls about 10 or 11 days earlier than the solar calendar. Since each month begins upon the sighting of a new crescent moon, the beginning of Ramadan can only be predicted. Depending on weather and atmospheric conditions, it may be delayed. This year, it is predicted to begin in the Eastern Hemisphere on August 21. It won’t begin in the Western Hemisphere until August 22.

2- Ramadan means "scorched earth”

The word is derived from an Arabic root rmd, as in words like ramida or ar-ramad. Depending where you look, it means: scorched ground, shortness of rations, scorching heat, parched thirst, or sun-baked ground. Those are the general feelings of Muslims during the month, since the fast involves refraining from “moisture” -- like drink, food and sex -- during the daylight hours.

3- If you’re insane, you get a fasting pass

The fast is obligatory for all sexually mature adult Muslims. Children get a pass, although parents usually begin teaching them to refrain for certain periods of time. People who are mentally handicapped or insane are not considered adults, so they do not have to fast. If you’re ill, pregnant or nursing that’s also a free pass not to fast. Even during a woman’s menstrual cycle, they can break the fast for those days.

4- Ramadan is a time to remember religious devotion

Chapter 2, verses 183-203 of Sura Al-Baqarah in The Qur'an speaks of the need to fast during Ramadan as a way to develop “taqwa.” This is an Arabic term for “God-consciousness” or being aware that Allah is watching even if the person is not aware. People develop taqwa through obedience to God, and the fast reminds them of their devotions. The idea is that only Allah knows who breaks their fast and one has to live with that guilt. However, in certain countries, Muslims caught not fasting during Ramadan can be sentenced to time in prison. In 2008, Algerian courts condemned six people to four years in prison and heavy fines.

5- Eid al-Fitr is a three-day party

Eid is an Arabic word meaning “festivity,” while Fitr means “to break the fast.” It begins on the first day of Shawwal, the month following Ramadan. People who can afford it donate rice, barley, dates, and more to people in need so everyone can have a holiday meal. This donation is known as "sadaqah al-fitr" (charity of fast-breaking). That first morning, Muslims will gather in outdoor locations or mosques to perform the Eid prayer. Afterward, they break off to visit various family and friends, exchange gifts, call to distant relatives with holiday wishes, and eat huge meals. These activities traditionally continue for three days. In most Muslim countries, the entire three-day period is an official government/school holiday.

DAH DEKAT DAH!!!

NASA jangka pada 21.12.2012 Planet Nibiru
akan beri kesan 'polar shifting' yang dahsyat
kepada bumi- 2/3 penduduk akan lenyap.
Mungkinkah kiamat?

Assalammualaikum. Berikut dipaparkan kandungan e-mail daripada seorang sahabat untuk renungan dan penghayatan di bulan Ramadan Al Mubarak yang mulia ini.

Semoga semua pihak baik di peringkat individu, keluarga, masyarakat, pihak berwajib dan pemerintah dapat melaksanakan apa yang disuruh dan meninggalkan apa yang ditegah oleh Allah S.W.T. Ayuh lengkapkan amalan sebelum menemui Allah.

Dah Dekat Dah...

1) Penaklukan Baitulmuqaddis.

Dari Auf b. Malik r.a. katanya,Rasulullah s.a.w telah bersabda
'Aku menghitung 6 perkara menjelang hari kiamat.' Baginda menyebutkan salah 1 diantaranya, iaitu Penaklukan Baitulmuqaddis.'
- Hadith Sahih Bukhari

~ perkara ni dah jadi dah... depan mata.... walaupun sekadar tengok di berita perdana jam 8.00malam @ Al Jazeera.


2) Zina bermaharajalela. .

'Dan tinggallah manusia2 yang buruk, yang seenaknya melakukan persetubuhan seperti himar (keldai). Maka pada zaman mereka inilah kiamat akan datang..' - Hadith Sahih Muslim

~ perkara ni dah jadi dah... depan mata.... kat mana mana ada perkara macam ni. dah tahu malu lagi. kalau nabi Muhammad PBUH masih hidup, pasti baginda sedih melihat kejadian ini. sebab bukan ini yang baginda inginkan dari umatnya.



3)Bermaharajalela alat muzik.

'Pada akhir zaman akan terjadi tanah runtuh, rusuhan & perubahan muka'. Ada yang bertanya kepada Rasulullah;
'Wahai Rasulullah bila hal ini terjadi?' Baginda menjawab: 'Apabila telah bermaharajalela bunyian(muzik) & penyanyi² wanita' - Ibnu Majah

~ perkara ni dah jadi dah.... depan mata..... paling senang nak jumpa depan television. adanya rancangan Akademi Fantasia, Malaysia Idol, artis perempuan yang membawa imej muslimah... dan pelbagai lagi... ini tak termasuk artis wanita yang macam perempuan nasrani dan yahudi.



4) Menghias masjid & membanggakannya.

'Di antara tanda2 telah dekatnya kiamat ialah manusia bermegahan dalam mendirikan masjid' - Riwayat Nasai.

~ memang dah nampak dah.... tak payah tengok kat luar negara, kat Malaysia ni pun ada... masjeed cukup main besar, tapi tak ramai jemaahnya. tempat yang ramai jemaah, sampai melimpah-limpah tak muat nak masuk buat solat jumaat tak nak diperluaskan lagi masjeed tu. biasanya orang macam ni lebih pentingkan, masjeed mana paling canggih... cantik....

5) Munculnya kekejian, memutuskan kerabat & hubungan dengan tetangga tidak baik.

'Tidak akan datang kiamat sehingga banyak
perbuatan & perkataan keji, memutuskan hubungan silaturahim & sikap yang buruk dalam
tetangga.' - Riwayat Ahmad dan Hakim.

~ ada anak tak mengaku ada mak/bapak pasal malu...... ada jugak bapak yang tak ingat anak, suruh orang lain bela.... bila anak dah besar, tak payah bela lagi, baru datang carik anak...


6) Ramai orang soleh meninggal dunia.

'Tidak akan datang hari kiamat sehingga Allah mengambil orang2 yang baik& ahli agama di muka bumi, maka tiada yang tinggal padanya kecuali orang2 yang hina & buruk yang tidak mengetahui yang makruf dan tidak mengingkari kemungkaran'
- Riwayat Ahmad

~ boleh kira berapa jer para ulama' yg tinggal... kalau yang ada ada ni tak tahu komitmen dia yang sebenarnya, samada betul tanggungjawabnya untuk kepentingan islam atau sekadar tempelan batuk di tangga..



7) Orang yang hina mendapat kedudukan terhormat..

'Di antara tanda semakin dekatnya kiamat ialah dunia akan dikuasai oleh Luka' bin Luka'(orang yang bodoh & hina).. Maka orang yang paling baik ketika itu ialah orang yang beriman yang diapit oleh 2 orang mulia' - Riwayat Thabrani

~ George Bush, Ariel Sharon & kat Malaysia pun ada.....



8) Mengucapkan salam kepada orang yang dikenalnya sahaja.

'Sesungguhnya di antara tanda2 telah dekatnya hari kiamat ialah manusia tidak mahu mengucapkan salam kepada orang lain kecuali yang dikenalnya saja.' - Riwayat Ahmad

~ jiran sesama islam pon tak bertegur sapa...



9) Banyak wanita yang berpakaian tetapi hakikatnya telanjang.

Diriwayatkan dari Abu Hurairah r.a. 'Di antara anda² telah hari kiamat ialah akan muncul pakaian² wanita & apabila mereka memakainya keadaannya seperti telanjang'.

~ fesyen zaman skarang (tube, spaghetti strap, g-string etc.).... pakai kat umah cukupla tunjuk kat laki, dapat pahala besar... ini siap tunjuk kat orang.. nak tunjukkan betapa besar "lurah aku", betapa besar pinggul aku", betapa ramping badan ku... betapa 'flat' perut ku .... etc... masyaAllah. kan senang pakai baju kurung, nak duduk selesa, nak berjalan selesa, nak buat ibadah umum (macam keluar bekerja mencari rezeki, pegi berniaga dan jumpa orang, menghadiri majlis perkahwinan etc) pun selesa. apatah lagi ibadah khusus (bersolat, tak nampakla kulit kalau telekung jarang, nak berzikir pun seronok, sebab menutup aurat, sebab berzikir ni walaupun pendek, tapi berulang kali memang ada kebaikannya, hanya Allah yang tahu, bukan kita.)



10) Bulan sabit kelihatan besar.

'Di antara tanda2 telah dekatnya hari kiamat ialah menggelembung( membesarnya) bulan sabit.' - Riwayat Thabrani

~ tak caya gi tengok... atau tanya orang yang biasa dengan ilmu ini. pasti mereka tahu.



11) Banyak dusta & tidak tepat dalam menyampaikan berita.

'Pada akhir zaman akan muncul pembohong2 besar yang datang kepadamu
dengan membawa berita2 yang belum pernah kamu dengar & belum pernah
didengar oleh bapa2 kamu sebelumnya, kerana itu jauhkanlah dirimu dari mereka agar mereka tidak menyesatkanmu & memfitnahmu' - Sahih Muslim

~ Siaran TV kerajaan dan swasta, akhbar2 harian & majalah² yg popular sekarang nie....... macam macam kan ....


12)Banyak saksi palsu & menyimpan kesaksian yang benar.

'Sesungguhnya sebelum datang nya hari kiamat akan banyak kesaksian palsu .......
& disembunyikan kesaksian yang benar.' -Riwayat Ahmad

~ tengok kes peperangan Iraq ... soheh serta sah nampak, tapi kita atau orang yang sepatutnya ..... buat tak tahu jek....



13) Negara Arab menjadi padang rumput & sungai.

'Tidak akan datang hari kiamat sehingga negeri Arab kembali menjadi padang rumput & sungai²' - Sahih Muslim

~ Dubai dah turun salji.... Mina (tempat orang buat haji- bersihkan dosa) dah kene banjir....

TOLONG FORWARDKAN KEPADA TEMAN² LAIN!

Dari Abdullah bin 'Amir r..a., Rasulullah s.a.w....bersabda:

'Sampaikanlah pesanku biarpun...
1 ayat...'

WELCOME RAMADAN, THE MONTH OF BLESSINGS

"O you who believe!

Observing As-Sawm (the fasting)

is prescribed for you

as it was prescribed for those before you,

that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)” (Al-Baqarah 2:183)

I'm grateful to Allah S.W.T for giving us the opportunity to enjoy another blessed month of Ramadan.

This is the month that is the best of all months in the estimation of Allah.Its days are the best among the days, its nights are the best among the nights. Its hours are the best among the hours.

It is indeed, the month of ibadah, devine bounty and blessing in which the reward of good deeds are multiplied greatly.

Let us spend a few moments to take stock of ourselves and recognizing our shortcomings in fulfilling our duties as muslims and Khalifah in this world. Let us also make a resolution that we will make attempts to benefit fully from this Ramadan by:

• Increasing our Iman and Takwa.
• Beautify our character
• Multiply abundantly our acts of worship
• Increase our rightous actions and good deeds sincerely.
  

May Allah S.W.T:

forgive us
of
our sins
and grant us
PARADISE,
Ameen

Y.E. YANG'S STUNNING PERFORMANCE

Y. E. Yang the winner of the 91st PGA Championship



"I knew the odds were against me.
I tried to be the least nervous
I have ever been and went for broke,"
said Yang, speaking through a translator.
"I've sort of visualised this quite a few times -
playing against the best player in the history of golf,
playing with him in the final round in a major.
I have always dreamed about this."

Yang Yong-Eun has stunned the world with his superb performance in the 91st PGA Championship and became the first Asian-born male winner of a major championship when he beat Tiger Woods at Hazeltine.

The 37-year-old South Korean was two shots behind overnight leader Woods .The dramatic turning point was when Yang made an eagle by a 20 -foot chip whereas Woods could only putt for a birdie at 14th hole. From there on, Yang led until the final green where he carded 70 compared to Woods's 75 to win by three.

Yang, who was ranked 110th in the world before the event, claimed his single PGA Tour victory at the Honda Classic at Riviera earlier this year, but was best known for holding off Woods at the HSBC Champions event in China three years ago.

Yang's victory ended Woods's run of winning all 14 of his major titles when leading going into the final round. He also has denied Woods's chase for a 15th major title and a record-equalling fifth USPGA title.
