The month of Ramadan is a holy month that is always awaited by all Muslims around the world. In that month, Allah SWT opens the door of His mercy and forgiveness as wide as possible so that even the smallest good deeds will be rewarded many times over compared to months outside of Ramadan. However, there are at least ten factors that can prevent someone from getting the abundant bonus in the month of Ramadan. One of them is that a person's days during the month of Ramadan are still the same as their days outside of the month of Ramadan. "I once observed a restaurant located near a mosque in Malang City during Isha'. It turned out that the number of visitors at the restaurant could reach three times the number of Isha' and Tarawih prayer congregations at the mosque," said Ust. Farid Hamidy, Lc., a famous preacher from Malang Raya who gave a sermon at the breaking of the fast event with the extended family of the Faculty of Administrative Sciences, Brawijaya University (FIA UB), yesterday, (1/7).
The Ustad, who works in the Department of Religion in Malang City, continued that a special month must of course be treated in a special way. If almsgiving is usually rare or mediocre, then this month almsgiving, infaq, and zakat should be encouraged. What's more, there are many people out there who can't enjoy eating and drinking well, so it becomes an opportunity for us to do charity through alms. “Actually, the angel prayed for our alms to be replaced with as much as possible, and the angel's prayer must have been answered. And for people who are reluctant to give alms, angels pray for their destruction, whether through illness, bankruptcy, or other calamities," said the former MAN 3 Malang teacher while quoting a hadith.
In this joint breaking event, all elements of the FIA UB academic community appeared to be present, from students, lecturers, to education staff who also invited their spouses and children. This event, which is routinely held every month of Ramadan, aims to strengthen friendship ties between the big family of FIA UB, so that collaboration that is established as a family for the realization of the vision and mission of FIA UB can increase optimally.
