Tidak terasa, kurang dari 100 hari, kita (insyaAllah) akan bertemu lagi dengan Ramadhan. Kalau mau dihitung mundur, kira-kira 94 hari lagi kita akan berjumpa dengan Ramadhan. Makanya biar nggak kaget, aku nulis ini biar kita sama-sama siap nanti kalau ketemu sama Ramadhan ya. hehe

“Ramadhan itu bulannya Al-Qur’an ya, Bil?”

Yes, Ramadhan is traditionally a time when Muslims focus on their spiritual practice, including reading and studying the Quran. Many Muslims make a special effort to read and reflect on the Quran during this holy month, as it is believed to bring blessings and increased spiritual benefits.

Seringkali, suatu amal yaumi, khususnya membaca atau berinteraksi dengan Al-Qur’an, akan berat dilakukan kalau tidak dibiasakan, tidak dijadikan habit/kebiasaan.

Coba ya.. aku mau share sedikit tips yang sampai sekarang masih terus aku coba lakukan dalam memprioritaskan Al-Qur’an.

Cobalah... dengan memulai hari-harimu di awal pagi (sebelum subuh), selepas kamu bangun dari lelap tidurmu. Hendaklah bersegera bersuci, mendirikan sholat, dan... tidak membaca apapun sebelum membaca kalam Allah, yaitu Qur’an. Termasuk membaca pesan whatsapp mu yang menumpuk itu.

Sejauh pengamalan, ketika memprioritaskan untuk membaca kalam-Nya terlebih dahulu sebelum kalam yang lain, hati jadi lebih siap menerima apapun yang hadir (pelajaran, kejadian, hikmah, amanah, dsb) di hari itu.

as simple as that tapi praktiknya butuh keistiqomahan :)

Yes, It's great that you are prioritizing the Quran in your daily routine. Reading and studying the Quran is an important part of a Muslim's spiritual practice, as it is considered the word of God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.

And here are a few tips that may help you make the most of your Quranic study:

Set aside dedicated time for Quranic study. It can be helpful to establish a consistent schedule for reading and reflecting on the Quran, whether it's first thing in the morning, before bed, or at some other time of day.

Use translation and commentary. While reading the Quran in Arabic is important, it can be helpful to use a translation and commentary to better understand the context and meanings of the verses.

Reflect on what you read. Take time to think about the messages and teachings of the Quran, and how they might apply to your own life. You may want to make notes or write down your thoughts and insights.

Recite the Quran with proper pronunciation and intonation. The Quranic text is meant to be recited out loud, and learning the correct way to recite it can enhance your understanding and appreciation of the text. You can find resources online or seek guidance from a Quranic teacher or imam/ustadz and ustadzah.

By prioritizing the Quran and making time for regular study and reflection, you can deepen your connection to God and gain spiritual insights and guidance.

In addition to reading and studying the Quran, Ramadhan is also a time for increased prayer and devotion, as well as giving to charity and helping those in need. Many Muslims also fast during the month of Ramadhan as a way of demonstrating their submission to God and strengthening their spiritual discipline.Overall, Ramadhan is a time for Muslims to focus on their relationship with God and seek to improve their spiritual well-being. By making the most of this special month, Muslims can hope to draw closer to God and gain blessings and guidance.

Sejujurnya, kita tidak pernah tahu apakah nanti benar bisa bertemu dan menyambut Ramadhan atau tidak. Tapi setidaknya kita sudah berikhtiar agar bisa menyambutnya dengan penuh suka cita dengan persiapan yang prima. Agar ia tak hanya lewat tanpa memberi pelajaran, pahala, dan hikmah yang berarti untuk kita.

May Allah accept your efforts and bless you with a meaningful and spiritually enriching Ramadhan.
