12 STEPS TO PERFECT OUR PUASA

In order to perfect our fast there are a few tips that we should consider. For Al-Madina was trying to raise a piece of Jarullah Sheikh Abdullah bin Ibrahim bin Jarullah in his book entitled "Treatise of Ramadan" about the steps to reach the perfection of fasting which contains:

1. Eat last meal, which helps your physical strength during fasting. The Messenger of Allaah be upon wasallam said:

"Eat your sahurlah, actually in the last meal there was a blessing."
(Narrated by Bukhari and Muslim)

"Help (your physical strength) to fast during the day with a meal, and to pray the night with a nap". (Narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah)

2. Be better, if it diakhirkan meal time, thus reducing hunger and thirst. Only have to be careful for that you should have been stopped from eating and drinking a few minutes before sunrise, so you do not hesitate.

3. Immediately break if the sun really was sinking. The Messenger of Allaah alaihi wa sallam said:

"Man is always in good, as long as they hasten breaking and mengakhirkan dawn" (Narrated by Al Bukhari, Muslim and Tirmidhi)

4. Try a shower of big hadats before dawn, in order to conduct worship in a state of purity.

5. Make the month of ramadan with the best things that ever passed in it, namely reading the Qur'an.

"Indeed Gabriel greeting always meet alaihis Prophet alaihi wa salllam to read the Qur'an for him." (Narrated by Al Bukhari and Muslim from Ibn Abbas radi anhu)

And the Messenger of Allaah be upon him self wasallam was a good example for us.

6. Keep lisanmu from lying, gossip, pitting, ridicule and ridiculous words. The Messenger of Allaah 'alaihi wa sallam said:

"Whoever does not leave the words and deeds of God lies not need to fast from eating and drinking." (Narrated by Al Bukhari)

7. Fasting should not make you out of the habit. For example short-tempered and emotional just because a simple reason, the reason that you are fasting. In contrast, fasting should make your soul calm, not emotional. And if you are tested with an ignorant or a slanderer, do not you face it with a similar action. Nasehatilah he and decline with a better way. Prophet alaihi wa sallam said:
"Fasting is a shield, if one day someone from you fast, then he should not say bad and shouting. If someone insults or curse him, then he should say: Surely I am fasting". (Narrated by Al Bukhari, Muslim and Sunan book writers)

Speech was meant for him to exercise restraint and do not serve people who cursed him. Besides, also reminded that he refused to insult and invective.

8. You should finish of fasting with devotion to God, fear and gratitude to Him, and always stay istiqomah in his religion. Good results that should accompany you throughout the year. And the most important fruit of fasting is piety, because God says: "To do your duty" (Al-Baqarah: 183).

9. Take care of yourself from various lust (desire), even though lawful for you. It was so fast goal is achieved, and to break the passion of desire. Jabir bin Abdillah radi 'anhu said:

"If you're fasting, fasting should also hearing, sight and lisanmu from lies and sins, leave hurting neighbors, and you should always stay calm on the day you are fasting, nor thy berbukamu same day you are fasting today".

10. Should be from a kosher meal. If you hold back from what is unlawful in addition to the month of Ramadan is the month of Ramadan came first. And there's no point in you fast from a halal, but you are breaking with what is unlawful.

11. Perbanyaklah charity and do good. And you should be better and more do good to the family than on other than the month of Ramadan. The Messenger of Allaah 'alaihi wa sallam was the most generous person, and he is more generous when in the month of Ramadan.

12. Say Bismillah when you break the fast as he prayed:

"O God, because you and I fasted for your sustenance I break. O Allah accept it from me, Thou art the Hearer, the Knower"
