In this holy month, I tried to write about macam2 fasting and the nature in it, but who need to be considered is the nature of the translation "my version" or who agree with me and not the name of religion lebih2 the name of God, of course, still far from the truth in hand God.
Fasting has actually been ordered long before the Prophet of Allah, for example at the time of Prophet Musa obligation of fasting for 40 days and the load time and meal time, so fasting nearly 24 hours a day, at the time of the prophet Isa fast drinking only water for 40 days, etc. . Fasting is meant not only to meet obligations, but rather that everything is strong because of God, "laa hawla walaa quwwata billahi illa" instead of "laa hawla walaa quwwata illa sego pecel ndok fried". By karea the people who fasted did not despite madhang (eat) but still padhang (light) instead of sluggish and pale with hope against hope maghrib time arrives.
Fasting according to Al Ghazali divided into three levels ie
Depth layman
ditingkatan is orang2 just do not eat drink and have intercourse during the day, but the eyes, mouth, ears and hands and feet are not fast, they stay gossiping, not keeping the view, like eavesdrop and do not keep still overwhelmed with emotion and anger, this is the fast orang2 losers who are abstinent but people just get hungry and thirsty, ironically, most Muslims are fasting today.
Specific levels
Who actually started fasting from this level, not only to keep from eating, drinking and intercourse, but it senses too fast, orang2 abstinent at this level include those who are lucky and only a few Muslims who are fasting ditingkatan.
Depth particularly special
This is the highest level, not just enough to keep eating and drinking as well as the five senses copulate fast time but also keep the heart and mind from the thought of eating drinking or intercourse. If I speculate that fasting will be breaking the ice mix so fast I have been canceled at this level. Orang2 abstinent ditingkatan include a very lucky and very few Muslims who are fasting ditingkatan, ditingkatan Fasting is no longer expect a reward but expect blessings of Allah, sincere for God and only God who assess our fast.
Once we know that fasting is actually due to God and all the reward we pasrahkan given to God, then we proceed to discuss who macam2 fasting starts from the most basic
Mandatory fasting month of ramadan
This is the fast reply and the most obligatory obligatory, Muslims are obligated to fast during this month are still capable, if unable then also required to replace at a later time, if not able to replace the other at a time when it required a certain amount of ransom, if not capable of fasting and ransom it is sufficient to sympathize her child, this is the beauty of Islam, if benar2 not afford then there is no compulsion for him.
Month of Ramadan is also divided into 3 parts, the first 10 days is a grace-full God, to worship God through human stimulate jiwa2 calm reply (muthmainah) that exist within us, just reply calmly or lust jiwa2 muthmainah who can hear the call of Allah the almighty love and affection, then 10 the second day with rampant forgiveness, repentance and forgiveness for y also for who intend to repent though not yet accomplished, we intend to repentance alone was rewarded though delayed repentance, but we ought to realize our repentance with regret , was determined to not repeat mistakes and to improve the quality of our worship, but the month of Ramadan is our repentance will be much easier to be realized and accepted by him, be assured that the origin of regret and improve the quality of our worship. Then the last 10 days the release of hellfire, hellfire is who is after our repentance is accepted then ourselves and our souls will be free of rust kotoran2 and who stick at the end of the day who later transformed into a searing hellfire us and God set him free from it because God is All-forgiving and all-merciful.
Month of Ramadan is the culmination of our worship to God for 12 months, starting from the month of Shawwal who could also mean the beginning, the beginning of our worship to God for a year and ends in the month Ramadan, Laylat al-Qadr therefore usually falls in the month of Ramadan, why why usually and not always? Laylat al-Qadr in my opinion it is a meeting between God and His servants in non-physical and indirectly through malaikat2Nya, also meeting each person is different and the experience of time, the meeting is like a thousand lit by moonlight, it's good to see a beautiful woman is like 1000 so one, like a reward for 1000 months of worship, truly incredible pleasure for who experience it, and the nights Laylat al-Qadr is usually generally falls on the 27th of Ramadan because it might worship the culmination of many Muslims in the month of Ramadan was the 27th, but to get ya obviously not possible only to observe the month of Ramadan alone lebih2 on any odd malam2 beriktikaf lebih2 again only at night and 27 only, guaranteed disappointed. In this month doubled the reward people who worship but who is best to worship because of God instead of simply expecting reward.
Puasa Syawal
After entering the month of Shawwal marked with a feast of Eid al-Fitr which means back into nature or the sacred, then we Sunnah to fast for six days of Shawwal be consecutive or not consecutive month of Shawwal who must still, whoever month of fasting six days of Shawwal then sin over a year ago and a year who come will be forgiven by Him, should not be mistaken for Shawwal fasting automatically remove our sin and we can go around after the fasting of Shawwal sinner forgiven because it is guaranteed, but the meaning of forgiveness is dosa2 a year ago will be offset by an increase in the quality of worship we are the forthcoming year, if we increase the quality of worship is also automatically converted to mean really, what we might experience the quality of worship by not repent sungguh2? almost impossible, because the small sins are like dust in the glass, a big sin is like rust dibesi who continue to undermine our acts of worship until they run out if not addressed and how to clean the rust in the liver by way of repentance Nasuha or sungguh2.
Shawwal could also mean an increase, namely improving the quality of our worship of the Ramadan month of Shawwal improved again and upgraded again to return to the next dibulan2 ramadhan again, so is my best rhythm continues to climb, this is one of those lucky orang2.
Fasting middle of the month
after graduating from the sungguh2 Shawwal fasting then it is advisable to work fast on 13, 14, 15 in the middle of the month, allegedly in the middle of this month in addition to a full moon also ma'ul life (water of life) we are in pairs so we're easy tanggal2 to fall in love, to overcome this so that no ill-desired hal2 it is recommended to fast so that all the love we lebih2 deviant to be returned to the All-Love.
The energy of love that are not controlled at the time of our life ma'ul ride will be collected by way of the middle month of fasting, as well as for self dipurba or improved the quality of his love into love for God, when Tono Tono love Ngatemi then love is correct, but Tono do love Ngatemi more love for God in a sense reversed Ngatemi Ngatemi who was sincere and oper taken by Allah's will and his property any more loved Tono, who in fact this is the estuary of the love affair correct, everything should be dimuarakan to Allah the almighty love
Fasting Monday Thursday
after we pass the middle of the fasting month then the next stage is the fast of Monday Thursday or Thursday is a weekly fasting who also carried the Prophet Muhammad, meaning that by Monday Thursday othak athik gathuk mathuk is that we just begging to God, only we ask and pray to Him, not on any others. Day2 beggars are Thursdays, now Thursday, tomorrow, Thursday, last Thursday as well because they are just begging, just begging for people who usually would never be up on Friday, even never having another day2 apart Thursday, as our beloved country is when still begging at the World Bank, the CGI, the IMF and the people of Indonesia is the nation's begging and just quit on Thursday. Well so we immediately moved from Thursday to Friday it is recommended to fast on Monday Thursday, Friday is the weekly holiday for Muslims, therefore, not recommended for Friday Day of fasting Sunnah. When it was able to realize that we ask Him and pray we will realize that we had no apa2 even have any sense do not exist and also powerless apa2, all driven by God through malaikat2Nya, heart rate, blood flow and motion of our digestive tools malaikat2Nya digerakkkan by without us knowing it and without even acknowledge organ2 keep our bodies working properly, this is the love of God who covers grateful and who Kufr.
Fasting on alternate days
Fasting Dawood reputedly done by the Prophet Dawud as, the way the process is like a day of fasting obligatory but not a day of fasting, the Prophet Dawud as famous for its miracle you are able to control iron and moody when he joined the bunga2 and plant wilting, when he pleased it will take a fresh bunga2 again following the excitement of the Prophet Dawud as one of the primacy of Fasting on alternate energy is aligning ourselves an eye on the universe and acted as if the universe was subdued by our will over God's blessing of course, but all that could be achieved if we fast Dawud sincerely hope ridhoNya not expect any others, fasting Dawud also teaches us to wait when fasting and gratitude when breaking, lama2 we will always be patient and thanks in all circumstances and situations.
Dawud Fasting is the culmination of fasting according to what stage tillage Prophet, of course, what he exemplified especially depraved is the main who we follow, if some want to run fast weton wedge, ngrowot, mutih, starch etc. geni characteristic of the tradition should follow the above tahapan2 our intentions in advance so that straight, sincere for God, and is optional for puasa2 tradition who argue should be done, if it is a heretic who believes it is up to as long as you respect each other's opinion and not to justify ourselves.
I think this is the fast reply tahapan2 we should do to achieve the highest quality faith side, above all fasting is the intention sincere for Allah who, without any intention of worship will be like a body without a soul or body, while the intention without action as the spirit who haunts such as ghost, who intentions sincere then, do with patience and thanksgiving to God because without ridhoNya all our deeds as much as anything will sia2.
