Ramadhan.Wishes

Happy Ramadhan y’all!!

Money, who wouldn't want to have lots of money. Arggghh I don't know what came into me. I feel like the degree of me wanting to have lots have money have increased day by day.. Excuse me, but money do bring happiness.. haha..

Whatever it is, my point here is that money should be gain through efforts and the right or Halal way. Because whatever we ate or consumed is going to run through in our blood, organs and eventually shapes our character, manner and judgement. So for Muslims, eat only Halal food and drinks okay..

Sometimes I wonder why some people, especially Muslims and those who knew about Allah's rule which is not to consume Haram foods but still choose to do so. No offend but I mean, dude, there's lots of other Halal options of drinks and foods which are available out there! They obviously taste more delicious & cheaper!

I once heard that Alcoholic drink doesn't taste good, but the "Mat Salleh" took them because it warms their body and whatever reason lah, I don't give a damn about them but to fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, stop consuming Haram foods and drinks. It is clear that Allah has prohibited us to consume Haram foods. So, full stop. 

By short, "Halal Food" means food or product that contains NO pork, lard, bacon, ham, alcohol or any of their essence. "Haram Food" is not Permissible for Islamic consumption. Muslims must seek "Halal" and and avoid "Haram". Haram foods are:

1. Foods which are Forbidden: The Holy Qur'an, 5:3 - Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other thanAllah; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars)...

2. Prohibition of Intoxicants: The Holy Qur'an, 5:90 - O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.

Now people, it's crystal clear that Muslims should only eat and drink Halal foods and drinks. Here are the reasons why Halal foods are the best option: 

1. Halal foods are clean & determine healthier body, mind & soul.
2. Getting Allah’s pleasure & blessing which bring us closer to Him.
3. Purification of our soul which make it easier for us to perform our obligations commanded by Him.
4. Our minds are free from dilemma, crisis and negative thoughts.  
5. Our body will be in good physical shape, fit and strong.

And many other benefits, while consuming Haram foods will give the exactly opposite effects.

Hmm… I wonder how I start this discussion about Halal and Haram consumptions with money in my mind. Since it’s the first day of fasting, I would like to wish every Muslims brothers and sisters all over the world Happy Fasting in the month of Ramadhan!!

Some.note: By fasting, it doesn’t only mean restraining yourself from eating and drinking, but to restrain yourself from saying, listening and seeing Haram things…
