Pose.. Journal

Ramadhan comes again.. Freshly remembered, this is the month in lunar year that i hate the most.. fast from first light until sundown, abstaining from food, drink, and sexual relations. On those time i not even dare to think about sex, but food and drink is something i can't hold myself of... sure that's a story 20 years ago.. at the age that i will munch a watermelon and think that i still not break my fast as long i spat it out back.. Nowadays, I understand that fasting is manifold. Allah (the God Almighty) mentioned in the Holy Book of the Muslims, Quran, that the fasting is prescribed for the believers as it was prescribed for the people before them, so that they may acquire self control and God-consciousness. Therefore, the purpose of the fasting is to develop God-consciousness, self-control, improvement of health by reducing or eliminating impurities from the body, and to become aware of the plight of the poor, hungry, and the sick. Ramadhan is a month of spiritual consciousness and high sense of social responsibility. The fulfillment of one's obligations during the month is rewarded by 70 times.
As a child pose means duit raya, baju raya and sure juadah raya but now it means more to me..as fast is most beneficial to the health, it is regarded principally as a method of self purification. By cutting oneself off from worldly comforts, even for a short time, a fasting person gains true sympathy with those who go hungry as well as growth in one's spiritual life. So, let regards
this Ramadhan with as it should.. as the most joyous month.. Selamat Berpuasa..
