ﷺ….🌹❤Have You Prepared Your Knowledge Before Ramadhan…??

Fasting has great virtue. The month of Ramadan is also a month full of glory. So to enter this glorious month and want to carry out the obligation of fasting, we must have preparation. The main preparation that must be there is knowledge preparation. Because people who worship Allah without being based on knowledge, of course their worship can be in vain.
Ibnul Qayyim rahimahullah said,
العامل بلا علم كالسائر بلا دليل ومعلوم ان عطب مثل هذا اقرب من سلامته وان قدر سلامته اتفاقا نادرا فهو غير محمود بل مذموم عند العقلاء
“A person who does good deeds without knowledge is like a person who walks without a guide. It is understood that people who walk without a guide will have difficulties and will have difficulty surviving. Bet he could survive, but that’s rare. According to a reasonable person, he is still not praised or even criticized.”
Ibnul Qayyim’s teacher, Ibn Taimiyah rahimahullah also said,
من فارق الدليل ضل السبيل ولا دليل إلا بما جاء به الرسول
“Whoever is separated from the guide of his path, of course he can go astray. There is no better guide for us than following the teachings of the Prophet -sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam-.”
📚 (See Miftah Daris Sa’adah, 1: 299)
‘Umar bin ‘Abdul ‘Aziz also once said,
مَنْ عَبَدَ اللَّهَ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ كَانَ مَا يُفْسِدُ أَكْثَرَ مِ مَّا يُصْلِحُ
“Whoever worships Allah without knowledge, the damage he does is more than the benefit he obtains.”
📚 (Majmu’ Al Fatawa, 2: 282)
Also, deeds that can be accepted are only from pious people. As mentioned in the word of Allah Ta’ala,
إِنَّمَا يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ مِنَ االْمُتَّقِين
“Indeed, Allah only accepts from those who are pious.”
📚 (QS. Al Maidah: 27).
Why do we have to study before doing charity? Because seeking knowledge is mandatory for every Muslim. Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said,
طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ
“Seeking knowledge is obligatory for every Muslim.”
📚 (HR. Ibnu Majah no. 224, from Anas bin Malik. This hadith is Shaykh Al Albani said that this hadith is authentic.
What knowledge must be prepared before fasting… ???
The main thing is knowledge that can make our fast valid, which if we don’t understand it could mean that we are abandoning obligations or prohibitions that we are following. Then equipped with knowledge that makes our fasting even more perfect. It can also be added with knowledge about the main practices in the month of Ramadan, knowledge about zakat, as well as about the activities of some Muslims before and during Eid al-Fitr, as well as after. Hopefully by learning it, our month of Ramadan will be more blessed.May Allah make it easier for us to gain knowledge before entering Ramadan. Only Allah gives tawfiq 🤲🌹❤
