"Ramadan, The Special Guests"

    Why do I call Ramadan The Special Guests? Because, this month only comes once a year, and when our special guests are coming, not half-hearted, he brought three presents for us. Try to welcome our special guest, because heaven really miss the people's longing for the coming holy month of Ramadan. Therefore let us welcome our special guests with great joy.

     Now I will discuss what is meant with a souvenir brought by our guests on this one. The first is on the first 10 days, our guests are bringing us the grace of God are not endlessly down the first 10 days in the month of Ramadan. Therefore, let us try to do good deeds-deeds as much as possible in the first 10 days of this.

      Then at 10 the second day, the month of Ramadan Allah opened the door for forgiveness for all his servants who fasted. On these days we are encouraged to ask God for forgiveness of sins that so far we have done. because God will forgive all his servants who fasted. And in the last 10 days, Allah swt. 7 closes the gates of hell and opens wide the doors of heaven. Therefore, in the last 10 days, let us add our deeds again, so we'll be closer to the gates of heaven, in that way, recitations reproduce, perform sunnah prayers, also with iktikaf dimasjid to get closer to God.

       Therefore, let us gladly welcome our special guest, so we will not regret it when the special guests we are only 30 days old is going to leave us.

"10 Ways To Beloved of Allah"



Now I will try to share some ways that God is love to us. Surely the causes that can bring the love (of Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala) there are ten reasons:

    1. Read and mentadaburi Qur'an, and understand its meanings and intentions contained in it
    2. Closer to Allah SWT by executing deeds, deeds of Sunnah after the mandatory
    3. Continuous dhikr of Allah in every state, either by oral, liver, acts and circumstances, because the levels of love depends on Dhikr
    4. Prioritize what is God's love rather than what you love when the passions are controlled
    5. Always examine the heart and pay attention to the names of God and its properties, and depth in the park and the field of science is
    6. Watching a variety of goodness and blessings that God and spiritual
    7. Feeling low and subject to his heart before God, and this is very amazing because
    8. Alone (for worship) at the time of falling Allah (to the sky world in the last third of the night) and read the book of his, then closed with seek forgiveness and repentance
    9. Bermajelis with people who love God with an honest, take the good fruit of their words, and you do not speak unless the beneficiaries are strongly visible in the talk and you know will increase the benefits for yourself and others
   10. Away from every cause that would be a barrier between the heart with God

"Intention Is Everything"

     نَّمَا اْلأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ
"It all depends on the intentions of deeds."


  The above hadith, hadith is one of intent. From the above hadith, we can take the core values ​​that the deeds we do, depending on the intention. If we are good intentions in doing an act, the act will also be positive for us. But conversely, if we intended it or not sincere, then the deeds we have done in vain.

      Allah swt. assess the servants act of intention which is implied in his servant heart before doing a thing. And indeed our intentions really be judged by God Almighty. because if we intend to do something good, God records our intention as a good thing anyway, so before we do good deeds, we already get the reward of our good intentions. However, if we intend an act bad in us, although we have not done the bad deeds, God has counted us as a sin bad intentions.

        Therefore, let us order our intention that each of us will do something, do good things with a sincere heart and intend to either.

"Hard Work Better Than Asking To Other People"

"Laa ayyak hudza ahadukum ahbala, Fayaq hudzmatam min hattob. Faya bi'a faya kuffallahubihi, wajhahu khairum min ayyas alannas. U'tiya ammuni'."


The above hadith, is one of the hadith which says that working hard is better than begging. The first verse is, indeed if one of you bring a rope to fetch firewood. The purpose of this first sentence, nothing else is working hard, despite using only a small capital, namely diseumpamakan rope.

    Then in the second sentence, which means then firewood is sold, and God lives suffice from selling firewood, really it's better than begging to fellow human beings. In this sentence, it means that God is living on the lives of the people working hard, although not as much as the results obtained when begging to others. But the true God would prefer people who work hard despite low income, rather than begging, although the results are more. It was also listed in this sentence.

        And the last sentence, namely "U'tiya Ammuni '", which means either given or not given (denied). In this sentence bahawa Allah increasingly emphasized hard work better than begging. To the point, saying that although we beg and rejected, still, it is still under work hard.

        Subhan Allah Glory be to Allah, indeed if one works hard and earnestly, God will change his fate, because it lets us work as much as possible at any time, that God will always bless us.

"Man jadda wa jada"

Anyone who is serious, then he will become what he wanted.

"Try to Be Khusnuzan"

            Be khusnuzan, or so-called berperasangka good, highly recommended in Islam. Inside Islam, we are encouraged to berkhuznuzan to God Almighty. Also to men. How to facilitate us to always berkhuznuzan to God and to fellow human beings? And what are the positive effects of being khuznuzan? Murabbi me, never ask questions that at first I did not know what the intent of the question. Murabbi me asked me "If there is a glass, then fill in with a half glass of water right, then whether the glass is half full, or is it half empty?", The first time I tried to think, I think both answers are equally true, half of the glass is filled, and half empty. Murabbi Then I explained, "The way you think, can be seen from the way you look at the glass. If you think positively to the glass, then you will think and say this. Praise the glass half-filled. But, if you think negatively, then you will try to see the negative side of the glass. You would think that the glass is half empty. "From there I understand, that like-minded people khuznuzan always see the positive side of things, such as glass problem earlier.

            
Now, how do we always think that good all the time? It's easy, first we try to always look for a good reason, whenever there is something happening does not fit with what we expect. For example, we took the So and so to make a pact, to meet at point A, but So and so did not come at the appointment time. If we do not think khuznuzan, then we will get angry and bad-mouthing So and so because of broken promises. But, if we want berkhusnuzan to So and so, then we would think that there must be a reason So and so did not come, perhaps because there is trouble or a sudden event. That way, we can always be khusnuzan to anyone, anytime.

            
Then, whether the positive impact that would be obtained if the act khusnuzan? We will feel more comfortable, or do not feel angry with people who do things inconsistent with what we expect. It also can reduce our anger to others. And of course we avoid Su'udzan attitude to others.

            
Therefore, let's try to always be khusnuzan to anyone, anytime, and anyplace.
