Puasa ke hari ni?..well hopefully all of us muslim, (those who can and should) are fasting today.
Talk about fasting, i remembered the question Sir Adam Malik (my former English teacher back in secondary school) asked me when i was in standard three.
Sir Adam Malik : An...are you fasting today?
Me : ....
(fastly working my brain in thinking what could be fasting mean..this is how it worked at that time being)
1) FASTing > quick/swift/haste/speed...what did i do in fast mode today???
2) breakFAST > did he just asked me whether i had my breakfast this morning??? but this is Ramadan..should the answer be NO???
OH MY ENGLISH!!!!!!
At the end i just smiled at him...baring my white teeth...haha
So, back to the question..are YOU fasting today???
Puasa dalam ertikata puasa yang sebenar...menurut Imam Al-Ghazali terdapat 3 kategori puasa iaitu:
(secara ringkasnya)
1) Puasa Umum
>> Puasa orang kebanyakan
>> Puasa dengan menahan lapar + dahaga + syahwat
2) Puasa Khusus
>> Puasa golongan soleh
>> Puasa dengan menahan lapar + dahaga + syahwat + menjaga anggota badan dan pancaindera (penglihatan/lisan/tangan/kaki/dll.) daripada sebarang dosa.
3) Puasa yang lagi Khusus
>> Puasa para nabi dah orang-orang jujur/dekat dengan Allah SWT.
>> Puasa dengan menahan lapar + dahaga + syahwat + menjaga anggota badan dan pancaindera (penglihatan/lisan/tangan/kaki/dll.) daripada sebarang dosa DAN puasa hati dengan tidak memikir benda-benda tak elok yang boleh memesongkan dari Allah SWT.
