Praise and
thanksgiving to Allah who is great. Salawat and greetings at length, are
devoted to the prophet who has the right and siddiq nature. Muhammad,
PBUH. like the full moon with a very shining light. Family and friends
who have inherited steadfastness, trustworthiness and patience.
Above the pulpit, the Friday sermon as an introductory material. The
preacher has a testament, let us improve the quality of faith and piety
by offering prayers, observing the Ramadan fast and behaving patiently.
The Word of Allah SWT. Verse 10 of Surah Az - Zumar:
إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ
Actually the reward is quite limitless, only they - people who are patient.
Now we associate this verse with the fast of Ramadan so that it is
parallel. The month of Ramadan is often called the month of patience.
Because by fasting we will be able to hold back and be patient. From
thirst and hunger. Be patient by staying away from eating and drinking,
which is a violation. Facing sin and immorality, with faith in the
heart, righteousness in the soul remains strong and steadfast.
Really the reward of fasting is very large. Because it is related to
patience, even the most super patient occupy positions number one degree
up to 900 according to mu'tabar statements. It is more than the
patience to be obedient and patient when small or big calamities strike.
The reward of fasting is so great that there is a hadith of the Prophet
narrated by Imam At-Tirmidzi, he advised:
الصوم نصف الصبّر
Fasting is half of patience.
Ladies and gentlemen, with the grace of Allah, we always have a patient
nature. Patient behavior, the reward is very large. Because the risk is
very big. Examples are common, Angry and arrogant do not accept the
reality until they fight. But we can still control ourselves by being
patient. Suppose we are humiliated and reviled we face it patiently.
It's not like the flames face the gasoline directly grabbing. So the
rewards of 900 degrees are so extraordinary, very large.
With
this example we can learn to be patient. By fasting refrain from thirst
and hunger. We learn by staying away from actions that include
violations. Because we all have to be aware, the rewards of being
patient, especially in fasting are very large.
والله اعلم ... والله اكبر...
