Understanding Ramadhan

Ramadlahn
In the Holy Qur'an, Ramadhan described in Albaqarah: 185:

"Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Qur´an, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting, but if any one is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period (Should be made up) by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put to difficulties. (He wants you) to complete the prescribed period, and to glorify Him in that He has guided you; and perchance ye shall be grateful"

In this holy month of Ramadan all Muslims in the world will perform a special prayer that is eagerly awaited in their lives. Muslims will conduct a month-long fasting and in the evening will be filled with other devotions such as reading and listenning the Qur'an and tarawih prayer or evening prayer (evening shalat).

One special thing that is expected by Muslims in Ramadlan is a special night is Laylat qodar. If the Muslims worship on the night of Laylat Al qodar right, then he will receive goodness and reward equal to a thousand months or equal to 82 years of his life. This is described in the Quran Sura Alqodr:
  1. We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power:
  2. And what will explain to thee what the night of power is?
  3. The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
  4. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah´s permission, on every errand:
  5. Peace!...This until the rise of morn!
Those who perform fasting in the month of Ramadan will have two pleasures is when breaking at the time of Maghrib (evening) and when meeting with God one day. There are so many virtues that can be achieved by a Muslim in this holy month, even many of those who missed this month with great expectations and they were reluctant to leave the month.

May this Ramadan we all be blessed and forgiveness of God. Amin.

The Struggles of Prophet Muhammad and His Companions in the Early Days of the Islamic Caliphate

The rise of Islam was not merely the establishment of a religion—it was the birth of a transformative movement that reshaped the spiritual, political, and social fabric of the world. At the center of this monumental change stood Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his devoted companions. The early years of Islam were marked by profound struggle, sacrifice, and perseverance, as they laid the foundation for what would later become the Islamic Caliphate. The Revelation and the Beginning of Opposition In 610 CE, Prophet Muhammad received the first revelation from Allah (God) through the Angel Jibril (Gabriel) in the Cave of Hira near Mecca. At the time, Mecca was a center of trade, tribalism, and polytheism. The Prophet’s message of monotheism—worshiping one God—directly threatened the socio-economic and religious structure maintained by the Quraysh tribe, the ruling elite of Mecca. When the Prophet began to openly preach Islam, the opposition intensified. He called for justice, equal...

One of the nature of the oceans that scientists recently found have been revealed in one verse of the Holy Quran (QS-Ar-Rahman: 19-20) as follows : He let the two seas flow, both the meet, (but) between them, there is a limit which can not be passed by each. Nature of this sea, namely meet each other, but not mixed with each other at all, just found by expert sea. Because the style of physics called "surface tension", waters in the sea close together will not be mixed. Because of the differences caused by the thickness of water, the voltage prevent the surface ocean are both mixed with each other, as if have thin walls in between them. Interestingly, in the period when people do not have any knowledge physics, surface tension or the ocean experts, this knowledge has been revealed in the Holy Quran. Fresh Water in Ocean Depth By: Ir. H. Bambang Pranggono, MBA. He (Allah) let the two seas (adjoining), who is fresh fresh again and the other salty more bitter, and He...
