Keeping the Heart, Oral, Eye and Ear

Imam Al-Ghazali said, those who survived in Ramadan if it is in a special category khususul or al-Khawwas. They keep the ear, eye, tongue, hands of the immoral

Hidayatullah.com--If anyone asks, how many times have you fast Ramadan? Of course we can answer with ease. But if the question passed, what results you are fasting during it? To the question, we usually difficult to answer. Why? Compared with the wisdom and offered fadhilah Ramadan, it was too little that we have achieved.

Mental revolution which should happen after we fast for whole month of Ramadan to tens of times still has not yet been reached. What happened instead was an annual routine: day refrain from hunger and thirst, the rest did not happen.

Imam Al-Ghazali the Muslim group who fasted in three categories. First, they are classified as ordinary people. This group fasted no more than hunger, thirst, and sexual relations in the daytime of Ramadan. As the name implies, most of the Muslims are in this group.

Second are those other than hunger, thirst and conjugal relations during the day, they also maintain oral, eyes, ears, nose, and other bodily member of any acts immoral and futile. They keep saying her spoken of lying, dirty, rude, and all the words that could hurt someone. They also keep her spoken of other wrongdoing, such as ghibah, pitting, and slander. They just said is good and right, or silent.

Narrated in the book Ihya-Ulumuddin, that at the time of the Prophet there were two women. On a day in the month of Ramadan, when they were fasting, hunger and thirst was unbearable until almost-almost causing them to faint. So diutuslah a man to face the Prophet to ask whether they should cancel fast. The Prophet did not immediately give an answer, but instead he sent a bowl, then said to the envoys: "Spit
into this bowl of what has been eaten ".

This event seems to invite the attention of many people. Those who witnessed the incident was amazed to see one of her spewing blood and soft flesh as much as half a bowl, the other woman was spewing the same thing until it becomes a full bowl. Then he said: "Two girls had been feeling what God made lawful for them and have them break the fast by doing the things that God forbidden. They had sat together and gossiped. Blood and fresh meat that they spit out are the fresh blood of people who have their gunjingkan ".

In a hadith, the Prophet said: "There are five things that break the fast, that is: lying, gossip, slander, false swearing, and looked with lust".

This second group can also keep the eyes from seeing what was forbidden shari'ah. His eyes were not allowed to view wild female or male genitalia that is not kosher, either directly, or through a television spectacle, images and photos. They realized that the eye is evil arrows, if left wild so that the eyes can shoot anything and tend to justify the human passions and follow it. About the dangers of this view, the Prophet warned: "The influence of the sharpness of the right eye. If there is something that precedes it is taqdir the influence of the sharpness of the eyes ". [HR. Muslim]

Equally important is to keep the ear from hearing anything that leads to disobedience. They are including this group would not be fun to sit with the people involved in the conversation futile. Including deeds is useless to hear the songs that his verse does not deliver on knowing the greatness of God. They also left the conversation broadcaster and poet who squandered a word without meaning.

They immediately left the people who are ghibah, especially defamatory, because they realized that people who mengghibah with people who heard the same value ghibah sin. So only two alternatives, namely to remind or to leave the assembly.

In this regard Allah says; "Therefore, do not sit with them until they enter another conversation. Because the real (if you do that) you certainly are similar to them ". [QS. An-Nisaa: 140]

In the month of Ramadan, this group also closed ears shut from all the sounds that can interfere with concentration in the remembrance of Allah. Instead, they opened his ears wide open to hear the verses of the Koran, Islamic study groups to hear, hear thayibah sentences, and hear the religious advice. Perseverance and good listening activity by itself would reduce the orientation hear something futile, let alone the damage the value of worship.

The rest, they also keep the hands, feet, and the rest of his body from all the Shari'ah prohibited. They keep his hands from holding something that was lawful. They also control the foot from stepping into a forbidden place. Similarly to the stomach, they keep the stomach filled only halal food only. Whether at dawn and break the fast.

In the Islamic view, that same forbidden foods with poison, halal food while it is a drug, if taken in accordance with the portions and the right dose. But if if consumed in excess, so that food can change menjdai very dangerous toxins that your body's health. That is why, the people who fasted properly trained to eat only foods and beverages only halal. Itupun the measure and the normal dose, not exaggerated. They will not break his fast by eating and excessive drinking.

If the Muslims to fast as fast this second group, it will be social change remarkable. Between before and after Ramadan there was a change of attitude, behavior, and typical actions. If the change is made by a society that lives in a country called Indonesia, then the moral revolution must have happened for real.

No need to set up the Anti-Corruption Commission, because there is no longer the culprit.
Unfortunately, for the minimum target we can still do it. As a result, between before and after fasting did not happen. That before Ramadan smoking, resumed smoking after fasting. If before the fasting of corruption, after fasting, the practice was repeated again. And if the target becomes the second group was achieved, half of the State and the nation's problems can be overcome. Moreover, if we can achieve a higher target, a third group.

The third group, according to Al-Ghazali is they who are in a special category khususul or al-Khawwas. They not only keep the ears, eyes, tongue, hands, and feet from all that leads to disobedience to God, but they also keep her from remembering other than God. They fill the cavity of his heart only to remember God alone. They did not leave the slightest room in his heart to worldly affairs. They really control the heart of all the beats intentions that lead to worldly affairs.
