Maintaining the Perfection of Fasting in the Last 10 Days of Ramadan

2025-03-24T03:03:53+00:00

By: Dr. Lalu Thohir, M.Pd. Ramadan is nearing its end. Today, the 20th of Ramadan 1446 AH, is a reminder to all of us that the time to increase charity and increase piety is running out. The Prophet ﷺ has given a profound warning in a hadith narrated by Ibn Majah: "How many people fast, but all they get is hunger and thirst." A sentence that should make us ask ourselves - is the fasting that we have been doing so far really valuable in the sight of Allah? Fasting is not just about enduring hunger and thirst. The Prophet [...]

The Nobility of the Pious and the Habits of Paradise Dwellers

2025-03-24T02:46:43+00:00

By: Dr. Syaiful Musaddat, S.Pd., M.Pd. In this blessed month of Ramadan, we are invited to reflect on an essential question: Who is the most honored in the sight of Allah? The answer has been revealed in the Qur'an—those who possess the highest level of piety (taqwa). Allah states in QS Az-Zariyat (verses 14, 17, 18, and 19) that the reward for the pious is eternal bliss in paradise. However, He also describes three key habits of the people of paradise during their lifetime: They always wake up at the end of the night to make istighfar and draw closer [...]

The Greatest Joy: Meeting Allah

2025-03-19T01:39:38+00:00

By: Dr. Ahmad Zam Zam, S.Pd., M.Hum. Ramadan is more than just refraining from food and drink. Hidden behind the act of fasting is a profound joy, and one of the greatest joys for those who fast with true faith is the anticipation of meeting Allah. In the Qur’an, at the end of Surah Al-Kahf, Allah sets forth the conditions for those who hope to meet Him. This honor is not granted to everyone, but only to those who fulfill two essential requirements. Allah says: "Whoever hopes for the meeting with his Lord, let him do righteous deeds and associate [...]

Pursuing the Highest Honor: Muttaqin—A Title Granted by Allah

2025-03-17T00:57:10+00:00

By Dr. Baharuddin, M.Hum. In this world, we often chase academic titles—bachelor’s, master’s, even doctorates—symbols of expertise and achievement in various fields. Yet, these titles are temporary; one day, we will leave this world, and they will no longer hold any significance. However, there is one title that will never fade, one that will determine our status in the Hereafter: muttaqin—those who are truly God-conscious. Ramadan is a special month, a time when we strive to attain this noble title. As Allah states in Surah Al-Baqarah (2:183), the ultimate purpose of fasting is to develop taqwa: "O you who believe, [...]

Maintaining the Consistency of Piety after Ramadan

2025-03-12T01:37:41+00:00

By: Prof. Dr. A. Wahab Jufri, M.Sc. Ramadan is a month of self-discipline, a time when a believer trains themselves to grow in piety and devotion to Allah. However, the true challenge is not how we worship during this blessed month, but how we sustain that level of faith and obedience in the eleven months that follow. A truly pious person shows continuous growth—both in their actions and their character. Ramadan should be the starting point for lasting positive change, not just an annual routine that fades away once the month ends. In QS. As-Saff verses 2-3, Allah says: "O [...]

The Virtues of Reciting the Qur’an: Light in the World, Intercession in the Hereafter

2025-03-17T01:08:35+00:00

By Dr. Amrullah, M.Pd. Ramadan is a special month, the month in which the Qur’an was revealed as a guide for humanity. The Prophet ﷺ once said in a hadith: "Whoever recites a single letter from the Book of Allah (the Qur’an) will earn a good deed, and each good deed will be multiplied tenfold. I do not say that ‘Alif Laam Miim’ is one letter, but rather Alif is one letter, Laam is one letter, and Miim is one letter.” (Narrated by Tirmidhi) This hadith reminds us of Allah’s immense mercy upon those who read the Qur’an. Every letter [...]

True Piety: Walking the Path of Righteousness in Ramadan

2025-03-12T01:09:52+00:00

By Dr. Saharudin, M.A. Mataram - Alhamdulillah, we have reached the 10th day of Ramadan. With each step forward, we leave behind traces of goodness, hoping they will bear witness for us in the hereafter. Ramadan is not just about fasting from food and drink—it is Syahrul Qur’an, the month of the Qur’an, a time to draw closer to Allah’s divine words. Allah commands in Surah Ali Imran, verse 102: “O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and do not die except in a state of Islam.” When this verse was revealed, the Prophet ﷺ explained [...]
