Ramadan is the month that Muslims all over the world are eagerly awaiting. Ramadan is a month full of blessings, when every worship and good deeds that you do will be multiplied by Allah. Therefore, this month should not be passed up with unproductive activities. This is the time to get as much merit as possible for the sake of the afterlife. What are the activities that you can do to gain merit in the month of Ramadan? Check out the following explanation!
Perform Daily Prayers Without Fail
Prayer is the most important form of worship in Islam. Those who pray five times a day without fail every day, not only have successfully obeyed the obligations of Allah, but have also gained His blessings.
During Ramadan, all acts of worship will be multiplied by their merits, including the five daily prayers. Every cycle carried out will get more blessings than other months. If it is done on time in the congregation at the mosque, the merits will increase even more.
If you start and end it with sunnah rawatib prayer, then the merit you’ll collect will be even greater. Close your prayers with dhikr and gratitude to maximize your worship.
Reading Al-Quran
Apart from fasting, Ramadan is also the month when the Al-Quran was revealed to humankind for the first time. Therefore, reading Al-Quran will give you a lot of merits in the month of Ramadan because each letter will be counted as ten goodnesses. No wonder why many people are competing to finish reading the Al-Quran as fast as possible in the month of Ramadan.
You can also do tadarus with your family. You can do it after the five daily prayers and read at least 4-5 pages of Al-Quran. If you do it every day during the month of Ramadan, inshallah you can memorize the Al-Quran before Eid arrives.
Taraweeh in Congregation
Despite the pandemic, it is not impossible to do taraweeh in the congregation. It doesn't have to be in the mosque, you can do it at home with your family. Taraweeh prayers in the congregation at home have more virtues and merits than doing them in a mosque during the pandemic. This can be seen from how often the Prophet had performed taraweeh at home while doing it 2-3 times in the mosque with His friends.
By doing taraweeh in the congregation at home, you will not only gain the merits of Ramadan into your home, but also avoid the danger of a pandemic in a crowded place.
Breaking the Fast In Time
Another way to gain merits in the month of Ramadan is not to delay breaking the fast. When you hear the adhan, pause whatever work you are doing and immediately break the fast. If you are going to break fast on the road, it's a good idea to prepare the iftar menu in advance, whether it's a drink or a meal.
Choose a simple dish, so you don't have to bother eating it on the street. Iftar with dates is actually enough for your body. By doing so, you too have carried out the sunnah of the Prophet because he broke the fast with just three dates and a glass of water.
Help Others in Need
Ramadan is a month of sharing. You can share in various ways, such as by donating to those in need, putting money in the charity box at the mosque or prayer room, or by sharing the iftar menu with those who are also fasting.
Everything can be a source of merits in the month of Ramadan. By sharing, you are not just helping others, but you also learn to be grateful and feel fulfilled as you share your fortune with the people who are struggling.
Don’t Forget Zakat
For the perfect merit in the month of Ramadan, you must not forget to pay zakat al-Fitr. This zakat will purify you and complete the worship you have performed during the month of Ramadan.
You can pay zakat al-Fitr from the beginning of Ramadan until before the Eid prayer. However, it is better for you to pay it well before Eid so that the zakat can be distributed more quickly to those in need. The amount of zakat al-Fitr that must be paid is determined by the staple food consumed daily, with a minimum amount of 2.5 kilograms or 3.5 liters per person.
You don't have to pay zakat with staple foods. You can pay the same amount of money for 2.5 kilograms or 3.5 liters of staple foods at the current market price.
