Ramadhan

 

Ramadhan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is the Islamic month of fasting in which Muslims refrain from eating, drinking, and bad attitudes from dawn until sunset. Ramadhan is a time for Muslims to fast for the sake of Allah SWT and to offer more prayer than usual. During Ramadhan, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and help in refraining from everyday evils, and also try to purify themselves through self-controls.

In our country, Ramadhan is not only a fasting month but also a special moment in our society. Many people cheer up Ramadhan with certain ceremonies, such us making cakes and visiting among the family’s members to ask forgiveness. It means that Ramadhan has become a part of our cultures.

In our education activity, the teaching learning process in school during Ramadhan is usually fulfilled with the activities related with the religion. An example of thes activity is Ramadhan Boarding School or known as “Pondok Ramadhan”. The main purpose of Pondok Ramadhan is to increase the faithfulness of the students towards Islam. It usually involves the teaching of the Islamic concepts and how to be good Muslims.
