Salam Ramadhan Al-Mubarak...


Molek juga dirujuk 15 senarai semak untuk menyemarakkan amalan Ramadhan kita sebagaimana terungkap di blog WWW.MIORAZLI.COM", melalui entrinya yang bertajuk "A Checklist for Ramadan".

Diperturunkan berikut ini senarai semak tersebut.


A Checklist for Ramadan




1. Ask Allah to enable you to reach Ramadan and to get the most out of it as the Salaf (early generation of pious people) used to do.

2. Intend to fast every day with Iman and pure intention seeking the reward from Allah alone. The Prophet peace be upon him said, “Whoever fasts in Ramadan with Iman and seeking reward (from Allah)his past sins will be forgiven”. (Bukhari) 

3. Read the whole Qur’an at least once as the Prophet peace be upon him did. 

4. Have Suhoor as the Prophet peace be upon him said, “Have Suhoor because it is blessed”.

5. Make Du’a during the fast because the Prophet peace be upon him said that three people’s supplication is not rejected one of them is the fasting person. Ask for the good of this life and the next for yourself, your family and Muslims in general.

6. Make Dua before opening the fast. The Prophet peace be upon him said, “The fasting person has a supplication that is answered when he opens his fast”.

7. Give Sadaqah and be good to people. The Prophet peace be upon him was the most generous of people and he was most generous in Ramadan.


8. Avoid anything that diminishes the fast such as, lying, backbiting, cheating, getting angry. The Prophet peace be upon him said “Whoever does not give up false statements (i.e. telling lies), and evil deeds, and speaking bad words to others, Allah is not in need of his (fasting) leaving his food and drink.” [Bukhari] 

9. Do not eat too much after Iftar.

10. Ask for forgiveness since this is the month Allah frees people from the fire.

11. Pray At-Tarawih with Khushoo. If you pray in the Masjid complete the Salah with the Imam. If you pray at home prolong the Salah as long as you can. The Prophet peace be upon him said, “Whoever prays during Ramadan with Iman and seeking reward (from Allah) his past sins will be forgiven”.

12. Feed the poor and invite others for Iftar. The Prophet peace be upon him said, “Whoever gives Iftar to someone fasting he will have the same reward without decreasing the reward of the person fasting”.

13. Try harder the last ten nights especially the odd nights. The prophet would strive in Ramadan more than he would in any other month and more so in the last ten days.

14. Say this Dua in the nights that Laitul-Qadr is likely to fall on: Allhumma innaka afuwun tuhibbul-afwa fa’fu anni (O Allah you are Forgiving and love forgiveness so forgive me).

15. Ask Allah to accept all your good actions during this month.

Sekian. Selamat berpuasa.

Semangkuk Ubi Rebus Secangkir Kopi

Salam hormat,


Semangkuk ubi rebus secangkir kopi
bertemankan sambal tumis ikan bilis
atau sesekali kelapa parut tersaji
untuk sarapan pagi,
atau kudapan bila lapar membisik telinga
sungguh nikmat terasa.

Waktu kecil-kecil dulu, waktu hujan lebat turun
mencurah-curah tak henti-henti
lalu banjir pun
melanda kampung berhari-hari
hidangan masih tetap sama, dicicipi dengan penuh selera
meski ubi ganyut cuma.

Anak-anak sekarang berbeza jauh seleranya
KFC, McDonald, Pizza Hut dan entah apa lagi jadi mainan bicara
lempeng atau jemput-jemput pisang dihidang tak akan terusik
jauh sekali si getuk ubi
tak akan terpandang tak pernah terbayang.

Bilakah agaknya dapat dihadirkan
ubi rebus atau lempeng pelbagai jenama dan rasa
di minda para pencipta resepi anak bangsa
jadilah pelengkap makanan segera
di warung biasa atau restoran ternama.
