Half Of Ramadhan: Check Again Your 'Ibadah'

Ramadan in the Capital

Jakarta, half of Ramadan has been missed in the capital. There are many ways to enliven Ramadan this year. Starting with the euphoria Tarhib Ramadhan held by several mosques in the capital, for example Sunda Kelapa Great Mosque, Menteng, Central Jakarta, and other mosques. Of course, this euphoria is welcomed by the citizens because, indeed, the Tahrib event is packed as exciting as possible to bring the impression of our joy to welcome the full month of Grace, the full moon of blessing, the glorious moon, which is more special than a thousand months, is the month of Ramadan.

Jakarta, became one of the cities that certainly covered a lot of media to preach a lot of things about Ramadan. Starting from activities ahead of Ramadan, culinary, fashion, including the activities of the artists and also officials who fill Ramadan. But, apart from the lights of the camera lights and all the media coverage that has entered the editorial table, who actually knows Ramadan in Jakarta is the residents of Jakarta itself. Yes, the people of Jakarta know better how the euphoria of Ramadan this year.

If Ramadan Year before, there was a torch parade along the way that made the 'village' atmosphere move to 'city', so this year, I do not find tu anymore. A little wonder but..sudahlah, the most important is the atmosphere of our hearts. Em .. for new comer of Jakarta, moment  Ramadan becomes important moment, why? Because at other times gathered with family and relatives, the capital immigrants should be 'smart-smart' looking for family atmosphere to welcome the first Ramadan, slaah one with breaking fast together in the mosque / community.

However, going to the next days, Ramadan in the capital still not find ghirohnya, except in certain places that make the spirit of Ramadan and worship increased. So, do not be surprised if the busway (read: Transjakarta), the atmosphere is still as usual on weekdays. Almost no change, hardly any worries to hear the call to prayer but we are still in the middle of traffic jam Jakarta, hardly feel loss if not fill the time in bus by reading (qur'an), and almost, Ramadan is considered normal. However, we must be husnuzon. Must think positive that the workers of God insyaa still put Ramadan as a glorious month. Could be, our silence is berdzikir to God, could be jammednya we in the streets is our endeavor to hurry to break the fast with the family, and could be all 'kecuekan' in the month of Ramadan is only visible eyes, does not mean we ignore the moon this very noble one. All that we can turn to a more positive thinking, while praying in the remaining 15 days of Ramadan we can still utilize all our potential to maximize Ramadan that only comes once a year.

Ramadan Goal?

Entering the beginning of Ramadan, some of us may have goals or goals that will be achieved. The most popular is the goal to khatamkan Al-qur'an. Yes, it almost became the hope of some Muslims in Indonesia if asked about the goal in the month of Ramadan. So, after recording these goals, it's good we re-check, whether those goals have been done? What are the goals, following as kindly reminder for you who are still the spirit to maximize themselves through the month of Ramadan.

1. Sahur

2. Reading Al-qur'an

3. To recite the Al-Quran

4. Praying Tarawih

5. Sedekah 

6. Keep in Silaturahmi (networking)

7. Read Islamic Book

8. Itikaf in Mousque

9. Do Charity Event

10. Tahajud

That is the Goals that you can check how the progress is. You can invite your friends to be an 'auditor' about the achievement of your Ramadhan. You can also add your own goal. While still 15 days away, we corrected our worship again. If not maximal, let's maximize. Do not get to it, the more to feel, the less lonely to the mosque, the shorter tarawihnya shaft, and the more dinky alms only because of new clothes.
