Tarhib Ramadhan (Fasting Month Preparation) in IPB

The month of Ramadan 1432 H is already in our sight. All of us would definitely like to take the best possible use of this blessed month. To help achieve such purpose in this the month, the Directorate of Human Resources held a Tarhib Ramadhan (Fasting month preparation) by inviting Ustz Sambo (Islamic preacher).

According to the preacher, a graduate of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences Bogor Agricultural University, there are three activities that Muslims must observe in order to increase their worship to Allah SWT (God The Most Holy and High).

"Firstly, improve the worship; secondly do the fasting earnestly, and perform deeds sincerely," he said.

He explains that there are 5 things one must do to improve the worship in this holy month. First, perform the obligatory prayers in a timely manner and in a congregation.

"Do the obligatory worships and then the highly recommended ones or the sunna," he said.

The second, according to him, is to do the recommended prayers such as the night prayers, tarawih (night prayers during the Ramadhan month), dawn prayer and Dhuha prayer. The third is to give high quality charity sincerely.

"Quality must mean doing sincerely, based on correct knowledge and in special manners," he added.

The forth is to read the Koran and the fifth is to retreat (stay in a mosque) for the 10 last nights of Ramadhan.

He also reminded us to stay away from major sins, reduce small sins, repent and increase istigfar. (asking God for apology)

Tarhib Ramadhan organized by the Directorate of Human Resources was attended by hundreds of IPB staff (Mtd)
