Ramadan message from Barack Obama

U.S. President Barack Obama promised "concrete action" to renew relations with the Muslim world. Obama's promise is delivered in a message to mark the beginning of Ramadan.

Few Jamaah

There are many factors that cause Jamaah why we did not want to follow the activities in the mosque. I will mention the factors and assess your own what the reason that you experienced in the mosque

First, the lack of pattern in part of the management of the mosque, this means that some of the management of the mosque itself does not participate actively in the mosque. If the management of the mosque which is about 20 people that participated in mosque activities, the study could have been running well, especially if the management is to invite his wife and already 40 people, and if administrator that each one brings their children so that adults have 60 people. Thus the theory is always attended regular akan many people with Jamaah coming from the outside.

Second, there is no clear direction so that the program activities that are held there seemed origin. Theory for example is not clear what material will the discussion. Whether material is appropriate to the needs Jamaah or not, consequently Jamaah reluctant to attend because the material is not interesting, because the routine activities such as research should be developed so that the classical material tailored to the needs of Jamaah, while activities are public lectures incidental. That is now going much justeru theory we are always in the mosque in the form of a general theory.

Third, the mosque took place during this request without comment or opinion of Jamaah, so that activities on the willingness of the management of unilateral, or even part of the management. Ideally the mosque is an activity that dikehandaki together through consensus so that the activity is indeed required by, and be in charge of the mosque and Jamaah.

Fourth, Jamaah low motivation to improve quality and increase the knowledge of faith, therefore, important to always be reminded of the importance of activity Jamaah mosque to be followed. It is also important for the management of the mosque to make a personal approach Jamaah that would participate in mosque activities.

So short answer nurse, hopefully useful for us together, amien

Setiap media telah siap dengan dengan sederet agendanya masing-masing. Ada rasa gembira, ke-khusyu'-an, harapan, semangat dan nuansa spiritualitas lainnya yang sarat makna untuk diekpresikan. Itulah Ramadhan, bulan yang tahun lalu kita lepas kepergiannya dengan linangan air mata, kini datang kembali.

Sejumlah nilai-nilai dan hikmah-hikmah yang terkandung dalam ibadah puasa pun marak dikaji dan kembangkan. Ada nilai sosial, perdamaian, kemanusiaan, semangat gotong royong, solidaritas, kebersamaan, persahabatan dan semangat prularisme. Ada pula manfaat lahiriah seperti: pemulihan kesehatan (terutama perncernaan dan metabolisme), peningkatan intelektual, kemesraan dan keharmonisan keluarga, kasih sayang, pengelolaan hawa nafsu dan penyempurnaan nilai kepribadian lainnya. Ada lagi aspek spiritualitas: puasa untuk peningkatan kecerdasan spiritual, ketaqwaan dan penjernihan hati nurani dalam berdialog dengan al-Khaliq. Semuanya adalah nilai-nilai positif yang terkandung dalam puasa yang selayaknya tidak hanya kita pahami sebagai wacana yang memenuhi intelektualitas kita, namun menuntut implementasi dan penghayatan dalam setiap aspek kehidupan kita.

Yang juga penting dalam menyambut bulan Ramadhan tentunya adalah bagaimana kita merancang langkah strategis dalam mengisinya agar mampu memproduksi nilai-nilai positif dan hikmah yang dikandungnya. Jadi, bukan hanya melulu mikir menu untuk berbuka puasa dan sahur saja. Namun, kita sangat perlu menyusun menu rohani dan ibadah kita. Kalau direnungkan, menu buka dan sahur bahkan sering lebih istemawa (baca: mewah) dibanding dengan makanan keseharian kita. Tentunya, kita harus menyusun menu ibadah di bulan suci ini dengan kualitas yang lebih baik dan daripada hari-hari biasa. Dengan begitu kita benar-benar dapat merayakan kegemilangan bulan kemenangan ini dengan lebih mumpuni.

Ramadhan adalah bulan penyemangat. Bulan yang mengisi kembali baterai jiwa setiap muslim. Ramadhan sebagai 'Shahrul Ibadah' harus kita maknai dengan semangat pengamalan ibadah yang sempurna. Ramadhan sebagai 'Shahrul Fath' (bulan kemenangan) harus kita maknai dengan memenangkan kebaikan atas segala keburukan. Ramadhan sebagai "Shahrul Huda" (bulan petunjuk) harus kita implementasikan dengan semangat mengajak kepada jalan yang benar, kepada ajaran Al-Qur'an dan ajaran Nabi Muhammad Saw. Ramadhan sebagai "Shahrus-Salam" harus kita maknai dengan mempromosikan perdamaian dan keteduhan. Ramadhan sebagai 'Shahrul-Jihad" (bulan perjuangan) harus kita realisasikan dengan perjuangan menentang kedzaliman dan ketidakadilan di muka bumi ini. Ramadhan sebagai "Shahrul Maghfirah" harus kita hiasi dengan meminta dan memberiakan ampunan.

Dengan mempersiapkan dan memprogram aktifitas kita selama bulan Ramadhan ini, insya Allah akan menghasilkan kebahagiaan. Kebahagiaan akan terasa istimewa manakala melalui perjuangan dan jerih payah. Semakin berat dan serius usaha kita meraih kabahagiaan, maka semakin nikmat kebahagiaan itu kita rasakan. Itulah yang dijelaskan dalam sebuah hadist Nabi bahwa orang yang berpuasa akan mendapatkan dua kebahagiaan.

Pertama yaitu kebahagiaan ketika ia "Ifthar" (berbuka). Ini artinya kebahagiaan yang duniawi, yang didapatkannya ketika terpenuhinya keinginan dan kebutuhan jasmani yang sebelumnya telah dikekangnya, maupun kabahagiaan rohani karena terobatinya kehausan sipritualitas dengan siraman-siraman ritualnya dan amal sholehnya.

Kedua, adalah kebahagiaan ketika bertemu dengan Tuhannya. Inilah kebahagian ukhrawi yang didapatkannya pada saat pertemuannya yang hakiki dengan al-Khaliq. Kebahagiaan yang merupakan puncak dari setiap kebahagiaan yang ada.

Akhirnya, hikmah-hikmah puasa dan keutamaan-keutaman Ramadhan di atas, dapat kita jadikan media untuk bermuhasabah dan menilai kualitas puasa kita. Hikmah-hikmah puasa dan Ramadhan yang sedemikian banyak dan mutidimensional, mengartikan bahwa ibadah puasa juga multidimensional. Begitu banyak aspek-aspek ibadah puasa yang harus diamalkan agar puasa kita benar-benar berkualitas dan mampu menghasilkan nilai-nilai positif yang dikandungnya. Seorang ulama sufi berkata "Puasa yang paling ringan adalah meninggalkan makan dan minum". Ini berarti di sana masih banyak puasa-puasa yang tidak sekedar beroleh dengan jalan makan dan minum selama sehari penuh, melainkan 'puasa' lain yang bersifat batiniah.

Semoga dengan mempersiapkan diri kita secara baik dan merencanakan aktifitas dan ibadah-ibadah dengan ihlas, serta berniat "liwajhillah wa limardlatillah", karena Allah dan karena mencari ridha Allah, kita mendapatkan kedua kebahagiaan tersebut, yaitu "sa'adatud-daarain" kebahagiaan dunia dan akherat. Semoga kita bisa mengisi Ramadhan tidak hanya dengan kuantitas harinya, namun lebih dari pada itu kita juga memperhatikan kualitas puasa kita.

The Food Hair Loss

Do not leave deciduous hair beauty threaten you. Prevent Feed with nutritious food to restore the strength of the root of the hair.

Fish, eggs and nuts
Our hair is basically consists of protein, because high-protein food that is highly recommended for maintaining the health of hair. Select the protein without the fat, such as fish, chicken, eggs, almond nuts, yogurt, or know. High-fat foods will make the content on the male hormone testoteron decrease the impact on the hair fall out.

Iron
Iron hold an important role in making hemoglobin, the blood which carry oxygen to organs and tissue throughout the body. When our good hemoglobin level, oxygen can also distribution perfect. This means that the circulation of blood can get to the root of the hair, which will stimulate hair growth.

Add foods contain iron in your diet the day-to-day. Food such as eggs, green vegetables, raisins, and whole grain cereals, is a source of iron is good. In addition, the consumption of vitamin C because vitamin increase the ability of this body in absorbing iron.

Seafood
Men who have known the bald zinc deficiency in the body. Zinc play a role in many body functions, ranging from cell production to balance hormones, and these functions affect the growth of hair. In addition, zinc play a role in the gland hairs of "binding" the root of the hair.

If we lack of zinc, folikel hair so weak, so easily detached from the hair root. To overcome this, the consumption of food containing high zinc, such as red meat, poultry, nuts, shellfish, or shrimp.

Double Vitamin D and Calcium for dislocated

May be hundreds of times you hear the Feed the importance of calcium and vitamin D for bones and teeth strong. Calcium is a mineral that most are in the human body, namely 99 persennya is in the skeleton. While the other one percent is in the body tissues and fluids that will be widely distributed throughout the body.

To avoid having pengeroposan bones in old age, consumption of adequate calcium should be performed since the age of five. Because bone formation began in the children and reached its peak in the age of 35 years. Research also shows calcium can increase the level of the child.

RI Department of Health Data 2002 shows, Feed the average calcium Indonesian only 254 mg / day. Significantly when compared with the recommended standard of the world health body (WHO), namely 800 mg / day for children under five and 800-1000 mg / day for people aged 15-65 years.

Unfortunately, most people are reluctant to drink milk and eat cheese because no body want to be fat. It is not surprising prevalence of osteopenia (early osteoporosis) in this country of 41.7 percent. In fact the Indonesian people have begun to realize the needs calcium. However, many businesses do not do anything to replenish their daily calcium needs.

The easiest way to get calcium in a pattern of eating is the day-to-day with consumption products made from milk, yoghurt, cheese, green vegetables, wheat-ganduman, and grains. Food such as where people know and also contain calcium, each of 124 milligram and 129 milligram.

In order for calcium to be able to work well in the body, we also need vitamin D. Without vitamin D, human gut is able to absorb only 10-15 percent of calcium in food. When sufficient vitamin D, calcium is able to be up to 30 percent.

Various research shows, sun exposure can increase the production of vitamin D in the skin. However, even though we live in a country rich in tropical sunlight, vitamin D deficiency risk remains high. "Style of life in urban communities who leave work and go home the morning after the sunset makes us less exposed to sunlight," said Joan P Sumpo, senior nutrition experts from the Kraft Foods Regional.

Activities that are largely conducted in a closed room and practice wear that cover most of the body also contribute to prevent entry of ultraviolet radiation rays to the skin. Belum lagi concerns of women of sunlight that can discolor the skin.

Therefore, take some time each day for the "bath" the sun, especially in the morning and afternoon. According to Joan, the sun can also help us to improve mood. "When you're glum or angry, try bask in the sun, the heart certainly frisky again," he said.

Importance of Vitamin C for Skin Elasticity

Although famous as a vitamin that is able to provide additional energy for the body, vitamin C appeared to have added value. Vitamin C is one vitamin that dissolves in water and is known by the name of another acid askorbat. Benefits the other is to help absorption of iron, as antioxidants, increase feses disposal, and prevent gum bleeding. Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said that vitamin C also causes cancer ward poisons in our bodies.

Best source of vitamin C obtained from many fruits yellow or sour taste. For example, orange, tomato, strawberry, strawberry. Also in vegetables such as asparagus and cabbage. Hewaninya source is milk, butter, potatoes, fish, and heart.

Feed the recommended depending on the lifestyle that we do day-to-day. For example, a smoker needs vitamin Feed this more of a non-smoker. The toxic contents in cigarettes can reduce vitamin C content in the blood as much as 25 percent. In general, the recommended aadlah Feed 75-2000 mg per day, as needed. Handful of fresh blueberry fruit contains approximately 30 mg vitamin C.

However, women who are pregnant should not mengasup vitamin C more than 5000 mg per day. If consumed excessively, can fetus dependence vitamin C. This information is based on research conducted by Oregon Health & Science University.

Vitamin E, How Many Body Needed?

Vitamin E and free radical (free radical).
Second term is surely you often hear. Not only on food, but also on various beauty products, vitamin E diunggulkan always powerful to fight free radicals.
What is the vitamin E? Why always be associated with free radical? Whether vitamin E is only effective against free radicals?

Vitamin E is the vitamin that dissolves in fat. That is, there are vitamins in the food greasy, and the body can only be digested by bile in the liver, because it does not dissolve in water.
Function of vitamin E
Addition can improve the body's resistance, to help overcome stress, increase fertility, minimizing the risk of cancer and coronary heart disease, vitamin E has a role is very important for skin health.

and oxidation (exposure to oxygen). Therefore, the source of vitamin E is best fresh food, raw, or food that has not been processed.

Then, why vitamin E is often associated with free radical?
Free radical oxidation is the result of the molecules in the body. In fact, if produced in a number of fit, free radical required for the health and body function, namely to emerangi inflammation, kill bacteria and harmful smooth muscle tonus control vein and other organs in
body. But when produced in excess limit, free radicals can attack the body cells. So that the function changed. This function changes the cells that trigger process premature aging prematurity, and various health disturbances.

How much is needed by the body?
If you want to function as antioxidants vitamin E, then a woman needs at least 120 IU (international units) per day. However, according to the medical record, most women in Indonesia only food that contains 10.4 - 13.4 IU per day. Sufficient for the needs, we can consumption vitamin E and synthetic vitamin E (dl-a tokoferol).
Because we need vitamin E is limited, then the body will react immediately when the condition is not comparable. Symptoms of an inch different look, but tend to be vague so that it can be difficult to understand.

From Various Sources

Life Active Style Can Delay Prematur Aging

Being active is a lot of people benefit. In addition to more active physically in shape, people who are also active biological want far younger than the sluggard who pass most of the time in front of the television, so the results of studies that broadcast in the 'Archives of Internal Medicine'.

A study long-term health, which is based on the 2401 twin found that those with active lifestyles appear 10 years younger than the biology of those people who sit a lot more.

Some researchers took DNA from white blood cells and analyzing the cells that have the hereditary nature in order to determine the length of a series of genetics called telomere, found at the end of the chromosome. Telomere grow short when one cell split. When a telomere is too short, cells stop split. Penuaan occur when more cells reach the end of the telomere and its dead.

Studies show that people quite active and doing physical activities an average of 100 minutes per week that have telomere average look five or six times more young than the subject that are less active and make physical activity an average of 16 minutes each weekend.

They do the most activities, an average of 199 minutes per week, have a look around the telomere nine to 10 years younger than the most inactive.

"This data shows that sports activities may eventually protect the body from old process," said Tim D. Spector, genetic epidemiology professor at the King `s College in London, who led the study.

Physical activity can also reduce the psychological stress, which has been associated with telomere length. Many researchers said they hope the doctors can use the findings to encourage people to exercise.

"It is expected that when a teaching physician or the medical clinic to provide advice to their patients, this may be another reason to bid," said Spector. "It also may slow the process old, and people might actually look and feel younger, which we know will be good for most people."

Hal Ihwal Nisfu Sya'ban

Pada malam tanggal 15 Sya'ban (Nisfu Sya'ban) telah terjadi peristiwa penting dalam sejarah perjuangan umat Islam yang tidak boleh kita lupakan sepanjang masa. Di antaranya adalah perintah memindahkan kiblat salat dari Baitul Muqoddas yang berada di Palestina ke Ka'bah yang berada di Masjidil Haram, Makkah pada tahun ke delapan Hijriyah.

Sebagaimana kita ketahui, sebelum Nabi Muhammad hijrah ke Madinah yang menjadi kiblat salat adalah Ka'bah. Kemudian setelah beliau hijrah ke Madinah, beliau memindahkan kiblat salat dari Ka'bah ke Baitul Muqoddas yang digunakan orang Yahudi sesuai dengan izin Allah untuk kiblat salat mereka. Perpindahan tersebut dimaksudkan untuk menjinakkan hati orang-orang Yahudi dan untuk menarik mereka kepada syariat al-Quran dan agama yang baru yaitu agama tauhid.

Tetapi setelah Rasulullah saw menghadap Baitul Muqoddas selama 16-17 bulan, ternyata harapan Rasulullah tidak terpenuhi. Orang-orang Yahudi di Madinah berpaling dari ajakan beliau, bahkan mereka merintangi Islamisasi yang dilakukan Nabi dan mereka telah bersepakat untuk menyakitinya. Mereka menentang Nabi dan tetap berada pada kesesatan.

Karena itu Rasulullah saw berulang kali berdoa memohon kepada Allah swt agar diperkenankan pindah kiblat salat dari Baitul Muqoddas ke Ka'bah lagi, setelah Rasul mendengar ejekan orang-orang Yahudi yang mengatakan, "Muhammad menyalahi kita dan mengikuti kiblat kita. Apakah yang memalingkan Muhammad dan para pengikutnya dari kiblat (Ka'bah) yang selama ini mereka gunakan?"

Ejekan mereka ini dijawab oleh Allah swt dalam surat al Baqarah ayat 143:

وَمَا جَعَلْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ الَّتِى كُنْتَ عَلَيْهَا إلاَّ لِيَعْلَمَ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُ الرَّسُولَ مِمَّنْ يَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى عَقِبَيْهِ.

Dan kami tidak menjadikan kiblat yang menjadi kiblatmu, melainkan agar kami mengetahui siapa yang mengikuti Rasul dan siapa yang membelot…

Dan pada akhirnya Allah memperkenankan Rasulullah saw memindahkan kiblat salat dari Baitul Muqoddas ke Ka'bah sebagaimana firman Allah dalam surat al-Baqarah ayat 144.

Diantara kebiasaan yang dilakukan oleh umat Islam pada malam Nisfu Sya'ban adalah membaca surat Yasin tiga kali yang setiap kali diikuti doa yang antara lain isinya adalah:

"Ya Allah jika Engkau telah menetapkan aku di sisi-Mu dalam Ummul Kitab (buku induk) sebagai orang celaka atau orang-orang yang tercegah atau orang yang disempitkan rizkinya maka hapuskanlah ya Allah demi anugerah-Mu, kecelakaanku, ketercegahanku, dan kesempitan rizkiku.."

Bacaan Yasin tersebut dilakukan di masjid-masjid, surau-surau atau di rumah-rumah sesudah salat maghrib.

Sebagian dari orang-orang yang mengaku ahli ilmu telah menganggap ingkar perbuatan tersebut, menuduh orang-orang yang melakukannya telah berbuat bid'ah dan melakukan penyimpangan terhadap agama karena doa dianggap ada kesalahan ilmiyah yaitu meminta penghapusan dan penetapan dari Ummul Kitab. Padahal kedua hal tersebut tidak ada tempat bagi penggantian dan perubahan.

Tanggapan mereka ini kurang tepat, sebab dalam syarah kitab hadist Arbain Nawawi diterangkan bahwa takdir Allah swt itu ada empat macam:

1. Takdir yang ada di ilmu Allah. Takdir ini tidak mungkin dapat berubah, sebagaimana Nabi Muhammad saw bersabda:

   لاَيَهْلِكُ اللهُ إلاَّ هَالِكًا

   "Tiada Allah mencelakakan kecuali orang celaka, yaitu orang yang telah ditetapkan dalam ilmu Allah Taala bahwa dia adalah orang celaka."

2. Takdir yang ada dalam Lauhul Mahfudh. Takdir ini mungkin dapat berubah, sebagaimana firman Allah dalam surat ar-Ra'du ayat 39 yang berbunyi:

   يَمْحُو اللهُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَيُثْبِتُ وَعِنْدَهُ أُمُّ الكِتَابِ.

   "Allah menghapuskan apa yang Dia kehendaki dan menetapkan apa yang dikehendaki, dan di sisi-Nyalah terdapat Ummul Kitab (Lauhul Mahfudz)."

   Dan telah diriwayatkan dari Ibnu Umar, bahwa beliau mengucapkan dalam doanya yaitu "Ya Allah jika engkau telah menetapkan aku sebagai orang yang celaka maka hapuslah kecelakaanku, dan tulislah aku sebagai orang yang bahagia".

3. Takdir dalam kandungan, yaitu malaikat diperintahkan untuk mencatat rizki, umur, pekerjaan, kecelakaan, dan kebahagiaan dari bayi yang ada dalam kandungan tersebut.
4. Takdir yang berupa penggiringan hal-hal yang telah ditetapkan kepada waktu-waktu yang telah ditentukan. Takdir ini juga dapat diubah sebagaimana hadits yang menyatakan: "Sesungguhnya sedekah dan silaturrahim dapat menolak kematian yang jelek dan mengubah menjadi bahagia." Dalam salah satu hadits Nabi Muhammad saw pernah bersabda,

   إنَّ الدُّعَاءَ وَالبَلاَءَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ والاَرْضِ يَقْتَتِلاَنِ وَيَدْفَعُ الدُّعَاءُ البَلاَءَ قَبْلَ أنْ يَنْزِلَ.

   "Sesungguhnya doa dan bencana itu diantara langit dan bumi, keduanya berperang; dan doa dapat menolak bencana, sebelum bencana tersebut turun."

Diantara kebiasaan kaum muslimin pada malam Nisfu Sya'ban adalah melakukan salat pada tengah malam dan datang ke pekuburan untuk memintakan maghfirah bagi para leluhur yang telah meninggal dunia. Kebiasaan seperti ini adalah berdasar dari amal perbuatan atau sunnah Nabi Muhammad saw. Antara lain ada hadist yang diriwayatkan oleh Imam Baihaqi dalam Musnadnya dari Sayidah Aisyah RA, yang artinya kurang lebih sebagai berikut:

"Pada suatu malam Rasulullah saw berdiri melakukan salat dan beliau memperlama sujudnya, sehingga aku mengira bahwa beliau telah meninggal dunia. Tatkala aku melihat hal yang demikian itu, maka aku berdiri lalu aku gerakkan ibu jari beliau dan ibu jari itu bergerak lalu aku kembali ke tempatku dan aku mendengar beliau mengucapkan dalam sujudnya: "Aku berlindung dengan maaf-Mu dari siksa-Mu; aku berlindung dengan kerelaan-Mu dari murka-Mu; dan aku berlindung dengan Engkau dari Engkau. Aku tidak dapat menghitung sanjungan atas-Mu sebagaimana Engkau menyanjung atas diri-Mu." Setelah selesai dari salat beliau bersabda kepada Aisyah, "Ini adalah malam Nisfu Sya'ban. Sesungguhnya Allah 'azza wajalla berkenan melihat kepada para hamba-Nya pada malam Nisfu Sya'ban, kemudian mengampunkan bagi orang-orang yang meminta ampun, memberi rahmat kepada orang-orang yang memohon rahmat, dan mengakhiri ahli dendam seperti keadaan mereka."

Nabi Muhammad saw pada malam Nisfu Sya'ban berdoa untuk para umatnya, baik yang masih hidup maupun mati. Dalam hal ini Sayidah Aisyah RA meriwayatkan hadits:

إنَّهُ خَرَجَ فِى هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ إلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ.

"Sesungguhnya Nabi Muhammad saw telah keluar pada malam ini (malam Nisfu Sya'ban) ke pekuburan Baqi' (di kota Madinah) kemudian aku mendapati beliau (di pekuburan tersebut) sedang memintakan ampun bagi orang-orang mukminin dan mukminat dan para syuhada."

Banyak hadits yang diriwayatkan oleh Ahmad bin Hanbal, at-Tirmidzi, at-Tabrani, Ibn Hibban, Ibn Majah, Baihaqi, dan an-Nasa'i bahwa Rasulullah saw menghormati malam Nisfu Sya'ban dan memuliakannya dengan memperbanyak salat, doa, dan istighfar.

Sepuluh Langkah Menyambut Ramadhan

1. Berdoalah agar Allah swt. memberikan kesempatan kepada kita untuk bertemu dengan bulan Ramadan dalam keadaan sehat wal afiat. Dengan keadaan sehat, kita bisa melaksanakan ibadah secara maksimal di bulan itu, baik puasa, shalat, tilawah, dan dzikir. Dari Anas bin Malik r.a. berkata, bahwa Rasulullah saw. apabila masuk bulan Rajab selalu berdoa, ”Allahuma bariklana fii rajab wa sya’ban, wa balighna ramadan.” Artinya, ya Allah, berkahilah kami pada bulan Rajab dan Sya’ban; dan sampaikan kami ke bulan Ramadan. (HR. Ahmad dan Tabrani)

Para salafush-shalih selalu memohon kepada Allah agar diberikan karunia bulan Ramadan; dan berdoa agar Allah menerima amal mereka. Bila telah masuk awal Ramadhan, mereka berdoa kepada Allah, ”Allahu akbar, allahuma ahillahu alaina bil amni wal iman was salamah wal islam wat taufik lima tuhibbuhu wa tardha.” Artinya, ya Allah, karuniakan kepada kami pada bulan ini keamanan, keimanan, keselamatan, dan keislaman; dan berikan kepada kami taufik agar mampu melakukan amalan yang engkau cintai dan ridhai.

2. Bersyukurlah dan puji Allah atas karunia Ramadan yang kembali diberikan kepada kita. Al-Imam Nawawi dalam kitab Adzkar-nya berkata, ”Dianjurkan bagi setiap orang yang mendapatkan kebaikan dan diangkat dari dirinya keburukan untuk bersujud kepada Allah sebagai tanda syukur; dan memuji Allah dengan pujian yang sesuai dengan keagungannya.” Dan di antara nikmat terbesar yang diberikan Allah kepada seorang hamba adalah ketika dia diberikan kemampuan untuk melakukan ibadah dan ketaatan. Maka, ketika Ramadan telah tiba dan kita dalam kondisi sehat wal afiat, kita harus bersyukur dengan memuji Allah sebagai bentuk syukur.

3. Bergembiralah dengan kedatangan bulan Ramadan. Rasulullah saw. selalu memberikan kabar gembira kepada para shahabat setiap kali datang bulan Ramadan, “Telah datang kepada kalian bulan Ramadan, bulan yang penuh berkah. Allah telah mewajibkan kepada kalian untuk berpuasa. Pada bulan itu Allah membuka pintu-pintu surga dan menutup pintu-pintu neraka.” (HR. Ahmad).

Salafush-shalih sangat memperhatikan bulan Ramadan. Mereka sangat gembira dengan kedatangannya. Tidak ada kegembiraan yang paling besar selain kedatangan bulan Ramadan karena bulan itu bulan penuh kebaikan dan turunnya rahmat.

4. Rancanglah agenda kegiatan untuk mendapatkan manfaat sebesar mungkin dari bulan Ramadan. Ramadhan sangat singkat. Karena itu, isi setiap detiknya dengan amalan yang berharga, yang bisa membersihkan diri, dan mendekatkan diri kepada Allah.

5. Bertekadlah mengisi waktu-waktu Ramadan dengan ketaatan. Barangsiapa jujur kepada Allah, maka Allah akan membantunya dalam melaksanakan agenda-agendanya dan memudahnya melaksanakan aktifitas-aktifitas kebaikan. “Tetapi jikalau mereka benar terhadap Allah, niscaya yang demikian itu lebih baik bagi mereka.” [Q.S. Muhamad (47): 21]

6. Pelajarilah hukum-hukum semua amalan ibadah di bulan Ramadan. Wajib bagi setiap mukmin beribadah dengan dilandasi ilmu. Kita wajib mengetahui ilmu dan hukum berpuasa sebelum Ramadan datang agar puasa kita benar dan diterima oleh Allah. “Tanyakanlah kepada orang-orang yang berilmu, jika kamu tiada mengetahui,” begitu kata Allah di Al-Qur’an surah Al-Anbiyaa’ ayat 7.

7. Sambut Ramadan dengan tekad meninggalkan dosa dan kebiasaan buruk. Bertaubatlah secara benar dari segala dosa dan kesalahan. Ramadan adalah bulan taubat. “Dan bertaubatlah kamu sekalian kepada Allah, hai orang-orang yang beriman, supaya kamu beruntung.” [Q.S. An-Nur (24): 31]

8. Siapkan jiwa dan ruhiyah kita dengan bacaan yang mendukung proses tadzkiyatun-nafs. Hadiri majelis ilmu yang membahas tentang keutamaan, hukum, dan hikmah puasa. Sehingga secara mental kita siap untuk melaksanakan ketaatan pada bulan Ramadan.

9. Siapkan diri untuk berdakwah di bulan Ramadhan dengan:

· buat catatan kecil untuk kultum tarawih serta ba’da sholat subuh dan zhuhur.

· membagikan buku saku atau selebaran yang berisi nasihat dan keutamaan puasa.

10. Sambutlah Ramadan dengan membuka lembaran baru yang bersih. Kepada Allah, dengan taubatan nashuha. Kepada Rasulullah saw., dengan melanjutkan risalah dakwahnya dan menjalankan sunnah-sunnahnya. Kepada orang tua, istri-anak, dan karib kerabat, dengan mempererat hubungan silaturrahmi. Kepada masyarakat, dengan menjadi orang yang paling bermanfaat bagi mereka. Sebab, manusia yang paling baik adalah yang paling bermanfaat bagi orang lain.

Beda Negara, Beda Konsep Keperawanan

Istilah virgin berasal dari bahasa Latin virgo atau gadis, perawan. Istilah ini juga punya kaitan erat dengan istilah virga, yang artinya baru, ranting muda atau cabang yang tidak berbentuk.

Keperawanan, istilah ini terdengar begitu terus terang, vulgar. Bila seseorang bertanya atau menyebut “Anda perawan atau tidak” tentu pernyataan atau pertanyaan itu akan mengganggu Anda. Namun, lupakan saja soal ini.

Mari kita lihat beberapa pandangan soal keperawanan. Di beberapa belahan dunia lain, konsep keperawanan memiliki arti masing-masing.

- Ada kebudayaan yang menganggap, seorang wanita yang belum menikah tetap lah perawan meski dia adalah seorang pelacur. Hanya lewat pernikahan sajalah dia kehilangan keperawanan. Meski selama bertahun-tahun seorang perempuan menjadi pelacur, saat menikah dia diperlakukan sebagai perawan, berpakaian putih, dan menampilkan dirinya di hadapan suaminya dengan begitu lugu dan murni. Dialah yang akan mencuri keperawanannya.

- Di bagian dunia lain, seorang wanita yang sudah menikah tanpa anak adalah seorang perawan. Keperawanan hilang hanya saat anak pertamanya lahir lewat saluran vagina. Keperawanan tidak hilang karena hubungan seks melainkan dengan menjadi ibu. Jadi setiap wanita tidak beranak, meski sering berhubungan seks, tetaplah perawan.

- Diantara orang-orang yang takut dengan mitos darah pada malam pertama, darah memiliki cerita panjang yang cukup negatif konotasinya. Seorang laki-laki akan menikahi seorang perempuan hanya setelah selaput daranya pecah lewat hubungan seks dengan seorang asing yang tugasnya memang demikian. Pekerjaan orang asing ini dianggap sulit, dan laki-laki yang melakukannya akan dianggap pemberani karena dia menerima bahaya berulangkali saat melakukan kontak dengan darah.

- Seorang wanita yang diperawani oleh seorang walinya membuktikan pada suaminya bahwa dia lebih murni dan lebih perawan daripada sebelumnya. Karenanya melakukan hubungan seks dengannya tidaklah membahayakan.

- Seorang wanita di kalangan dunia barat akan tetap dianggap perawan sampai dia melakukan hubungan seksual,oral ataupun anal dengan pria. Dan hal itu masih kita pegang sampai sekarang. Bahkan juga di dunia timur.

Jika definisi keperawanan kedengarannya membingungkan dan absurd bagi kita dengan cerita ini, maka istilah yang kita gunakan untuk menamai keperawanan akan mengundang senyum masam. Kita mungkin akan bertanya dalam hati, apa artinya mempertanyakan keperawanan seorang wanita.

Dalam sebuah poling menyebutkan bahwa 56 persen anak-anak gadis usia sekolah menengah di Amerika sudah melakukan hubungan seksual. Bahkan lebih dari itu, banyak pasangan yang sudah hidup serumah sebelum pernikahan resmi dijalankan.

Namun demikian, tetap saja banyak pasangan yang menginginkan perkawinan monogami, meski keperawanan bukan lagi sesuatu yang mutlak harus dipertahankan. Satu hal yang pantas diingat adalah bahwa selama berabad-abad konsep keperawanan sebagai sebuah idealisme kemurnian wanita memiliki perbedaan dari satu tempat dengan yang lainnya. Lalu apa artinya perawan? Silakan merenungkannya!

Country Different, Different concept of virginity

The term virgin comes from the Latin virgo or maiden, virgin. This term also has a close connection with the term virga, which means that new, young branches or branches that are not shaped.

Maidenhead, this term continues to be so bright, vulgar. When someone asks or mentions "your virgin or not" necessarily a statement or question that will bother you. However, just forget this problem.

Let's see some views concerning virginity. In some other parts of the world, the concept of virginity has the meaning of each.

- There are cultures that think, a woman is not married is still virgin even though she was a prostitute. Only through marriage alone she lost virginity. Although for many years a woman to become prostitutes, while he was married to be treated as virgin, dressed in white, and showing himself in front of her husband with such pure and simple. He will steal virginity.

- In other parts of the world, a woman who is married without children is a virgin. Virginity lost only when the first child born through the vagina channel. Virginity is not lost because of sex but as a mother. So every woman does not have children, although often have sex, still virgin.

- Among those who fear the myths on the first night of blood, blood has a story long enough connotations negative. A man will marry a woman only after membrane blood broken through sex with a stranger so that duty. Employment of foreigners is considered to be difficult, and men who do so will be considered because he received intrepid danger repeatedly when making contact with the blood.

- A woman who copulate by a guardian on her husband to prove that he is more pure and more virgin than before. Therefore, to have sex with them is not dangerous.

- A woman in the western world will still be considered virgin until her sexual conduct, anal or oral with men. And it is still our grasp until now. Even in the east.

If the definition of virginity sound confusing and absurd for us with this story, the term we use to designate maidenhead akan invite wry smile. We may ask in the heart, what means that the virginity of a woman.

In a Poll found that 56 percent of children of secondary school age girls in the United States have sexual conduct. Even more than that, many couples who have lived the same house before the wedding official run.

However, there are still many couples who want marriage monogamy, although virginity is not something that absolutely must be maintained. One thing worth note is that for centuries the concept of virginity as a women's purity ideals have differences from one place to another. Then what does it mean virgin? Please ruminant!
