Qurancordoba - Every Muslim family hopes to always be reunited with Ramadan as well as being given the strength and ease of charity in it. Open and dawn together, Tarawih and Tadarus with family and others. The Koran always describes the Salih charity as a race and we are encouraged to compete at any time in goodness.

فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْرَاتِ أَيْنَ مَا تَكُونُوا يَأrab

Meaning: "Then compete (in making) goodness. Wherever you are surely Allah will gather you all (on the Day of Judgment). Indeed, Allah is Almighty for everything." (QS Al-Baqarah, 2: 148)

Fastabiqul Khairat . Compete in goodness. We are encouraged to continue to compete in goodness, not lazy. This is also what we can interpret from the word of Allah Ta'ala:

وَفِي ذَلِكَ فَلْيَتَنَافَسِ الْمُتَنَافِسُوْنَ

Meaning: "And for that, people should compete." ( QS Al-Muthaffifin, 83: 26 ).

The beauty of Ramadan is a race to do good deeds, are we going to go ourselves with the reward of charity? Certainly not. In addition to preparing yourself, all of them should prepare their families. This is a task that should not be ignored by every Muslim family while in the month of Ramadan. The task is to present a spirit of worship and deeds of Salih at home throughout Ramadan.

Enter Heaven and Family Complete

Why does this need to be done? Because, the same frequency in faith and obedience to Allah SWT. is a condition for our family to be collected again in heaven. This is what we can contemplate from the word of Allah SWT. in the Koran.

وَالَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُief اَلَتْنٰهُمْ مِّنْ عَمَلِkey

Meaning: And people who believe, and their children and grandchildren follow them in faith, we connect their children and grandchildren with them, and we do not reduce the slightest reward of their charity. Every human being is bound by what he does. ( QS Ath-Thuur: 21 ).

The peak of the happiness of a Muslim is not just in the future of Allah SWT. into heaven, precisely when he was put into heaven with his entire family. This is the urge of human instinctive, exactly longing when we gather with our children and grandchildren and family during Eid. Collected in the world alone is very happy, especially later when gathering in heaven, certainly the culmination of all happiness ..

Ramadan should be a momentum to strengthen the atmosphere of worship at home. Do not let Ramadan pass without family strengthening because we never prepare it. There are several things that can be done to optimize Ramadan for the strengthening of Muslim families, in order to enter heaven and family:

First , the concept of the happy atmosphere of my house

We should be able to use the times available to bring a happy atmosphere at home. Whatever the way, Muslim families should be able to create conditions of happiness to worship throughout Ramadan.

This is the expression that the Koran wants when every Muslim is dealing with the grace of Allah SWT. With the opportunity for obedience, the Koran wants every Muslim to respond with excitement. This is what we can understand from the word of Allah SWT.

قُلْ بِفَضْلِ ٱللهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِۦ فَبِtion

Say: "With the Kurnia of Allah and His grace, let them be happy. Kurnia Allah and His grace are better than what they collect". ( QS Yunus: 58 ).

The excitement was present because of the large number of Ramadan's blessings, blessings, and virtues. This is what the Prophet instilled SAW. to the friends when entering Ramadan.

ﻗَﺪْ ﺟَﺎٓءَﻛُﻢْ رَﻣَﻀَﺎنُ ، ﺷَﻬْﺮ equip ﺍﻟْﺠَﻨَّﺔِ ، وَﺗُﻐْﻠَﻖُ ﻓِﻴﻪِ أَﺑْﻮَابُ ﺍﻟْﺠَﺤِﻴﻢِ ، وَﺗُﻐَﻞُّ ﻓِﻴﻪِ ﺍﻟﺸَّﻴَgment ، ، ﻓ ﻓ ﻴ/baste ﺷَﻬْﺮ

" Has come to you Ramadan, the moon blessed. Allah requires you to fast for him. The doors of heaven are opened to him. The doors of Jahim (hell) are closed. Devils are shackled. Inside there is a better night than 1000 months ..." ( HR Ahmad ).

Second , consistently the Ramadan program with the family

There are many activities throughout Ramadan. However, don't let Ramadan pass without a program with family. In addition to routine programs for compulsory prayers and tarawih prayers in the mosque, dawn and breaking the fast together, it is necessary for additional programs to strengthen the atmosphere of worship in Muslim families. Like Tadarus together at home, Wirid and Dzikr Persama, rotating taujih, following the study of online parenting, or i'tikaf in the mosque in the last ten days of Ramadan.

Abdullah bin Mas'ud, as narrated by Ath-Thabrani, said, "Take care of the prayers of your children and make them a habit to do good. Because, goodness is a habit ."

Third , motivate and strengthen each other throughout Ramadan

Family members must have the same frequency to strengthen each other in worship to Allah SWT. throughout Ramadan. Even to children who start learning fasting, there is an interesting hadith when the Apostle sent his best friend,

مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مُفْطِرًا فَلْيُتِمَّ بient

"Who does not fast in the morning, then he should perfect the rest of the day by fasting. Who is fasting in the morning, he should continue to fast." Ar Rubayyi 'said, "We are fasting after that. And we invite our children to fast. We make them toys from fur. If when fasting they want to eat, then we give them the toy. Finally they continue to be entertained so they run fasting until the time to break the fast ."

Al-Hafidz Ibn Hajar said, " In the hadith above there is an argument that he is pressed to train children to fast. " That was the previous generation educating their families, as well as strengthening them to be persistent in worshiping Allah SWT.

Fourth , a conducive house for the spirit of Ramadan.

Muslim families must design their homes so that they are conducive to the implementation of worship throughout Ramadan. For decades undergoing Ramadan certainly understands what conditions often interfere with the creation of a climate of worship in the house. It may be that Muslim families have a variety of electronic equipment, such as television, computers and laptops complete with internet networks, devices, mobile phones, need to arrange them to maintain the special worship of worship.

Sometimes, the recitations program at home is disturbed because of the gadgets that keep on and can not be separated from the grip. Sometimes the Tadarus Al-Quran program is excluded because of the television program that looks exciting, because it presents artists all the time in the month of Ramadan, even though it is often far from the value of education.

Thus the beauty of Ramadan with the family, some things that can be made to build the same frequency in filling the days of Ramadan in Muslim families. May Allah give our family's age and health to fill Ramadan with the good deeds and be accepted by Allah Ta'ala . Let us encourage our family to achieve the glory of Ramadan. Amen
