All people miss it, all people wanna reach it, all people happy with its coming, all people feel peace with it, all people are waiting for its coming, even all people wanna die before it gone. it comes once a year, it brings a million happiness and also goodness for us. When it has been coming, we are forced to not eating, drinking, angry, or something that can break its purity. It is difficult but we enjoy, we wanna do everything for it no matter how hard it is. Because when it gone before we did anything, the only thing that we feel is just disappointed, it seems like we got a great parcel but we do not want to open it, and then the parcel is taken by someone else (actually the substance is our favorite thing).
We called it Romadhon month, it is a month where we must fast from after shubuh until maghrib comes. During the time, we may not do anything that I have talked above. So, why must we fast for a month in Romadhon?? Alloh has talked to us in surah Al-Baqoroh:183 that has a meaning “ O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting as it was decreed upon those before you that you may become righteous”. It means that people before us (in Rosululloh era) had fasted in Romadhon, and Alloh has promised us if we did it well, we will be a righteous one.
Although Alloh has told us the superiority of fasting in Romadhon, so many people still do not do their obligation, it’s described in all restaurant or inn that there are still people who eat or drink even though they are moslem. And also, ALLOH has told us to respect someone who is fasting. It can be done by not showing something that can break their fasting. But, nowadays all people forget it, they still open their restaurant, they still sell foods and beverages. Not only society that do not respect romadhon month, but also media. When Romadhon comes, all media show so many advertisement that do not respect this month, they show people who is eating or drinking their product without caring that their advertisement can break fasting especially for children who is trying to fast.
As the government especially KPI (Komisi Penyiaran Indonesia), they should do further to ask media not show the advertisement like food and beverage until maghrib, and also KPI should make a role to solve the problems. So, as moslem we can fast and teach our children to finish the fasting easier.
Less than 2 months, we will face the month, we will face the blessing month that we wait for. Let’s prepare for it, upgrade our faith, forgive everyone who has made mistakes to us, apologize to everyone for our mistakes, and don’t forget to thankful to ALLOH for all the things which has been given by HIM.
