Sahur is filling the body's energy
with food and drink at dawn before dawn to fast. Sahur is similar to breakfast,
it's just that understanding breakfast is filling the body's energy after going
to sleep for the next activity and the time can be until the morning after
dawn. Sahur should be done at the end before dawn so that the time span with
breaking fast is getting shorter. Sahur is highly recommended in fasting so as
not to starve later, even though it's just drinking water. Some people find it
difficult to wake up and sahur because the time is still in the early hours and
generally people are still asleep at that time. If you do not intend to fast
earnestly and are too comfortable during sleep, it can not be sahur and your
body will be very weak if forced to fast. Some people who are able to wake up
and sahur still feel sleepy with eyes that want to close. One way to make the
spirit of sahur is to perform ablution so that the body feels fresher and
performs tahajjud prayers. Now sahur is also more uplifted by the existence of
a special Sahur TV program (in Indonesia). So that people can wake up to sahur
during the month of Ramadan, there are efforts made by the community to wake
them up with certain voices. But today there is already the use of alarm clocks
(including from cellphones) that people use to wake up on time. In some places,
activities to wake people up for dawn are still carried out as a habit or
tradition as well as people who are awakened to the spirit of suhoor.
There are ways to awaken people to
sahur if the design of the Shahada Mosque (Masjid Syahadat) from the
Betterpad-Ray (Benteng Terpadu Raya / Great Integrated Fortress "Mural
Wall") model can be realized. In my place, one way to build sahur is to
say the word "sahur" loudly through the mosque loudspeakers. This was
done at 3:00 a.m. and at dawn at my place around 4:20 a.m. Indeed, this time is
the ideal time to build sahur and enough to cook sahur and eat dishes. Maybe
the Shahada mosque in Betterpad-Ray will later be able to do that. With the
position of the speaker at the top of the tower that is elevated, it is
expected that the range of the sound can be heard far away. The time of the
imsak will also be notified 10 minutes before the Fajr prayer (Subuh). Imsak is
the time to prepare for fasting so you have to finish eating right away but
still don't start fasting.
Indeed, there is a habit of waking
people around, but because it is already an clock (alarm), the activity is no
longer needed. How to wake up suhoor with equipment and actions that actually
make noise will disturb people and this should not be done. But if there is a
special festival at the beginning of Ramadan or an old tradition that is not
intrusive, that is fine. Notification of the time of sahur in the Shahada
mosque is an activity that indeed only helps to remind. In addition, to
simultaneously open the mosque, check the condition of the mosque, clean,
prepare all the equipment, and prepare to be used as a place of worship at the
beginning of the day (Fajr/ subuh prayer). Usually on the last 10 nights of
Ramadan, there is an i’tikaf (silence while performing zikr / worship)
activities carried out by people from the beginning of the night (after
tarawih) to dawn in the mosque. The Shahada Mosque will continue to open the
mosque at that time and will provide sahur dishes for them.
This is the article from me.
Hopefully the design of the Shahada Mosque (Masjid Syahadat), which is part of
the Betterpad-Ray (Benteng Terpadu Raya / Great Integrated Fortress) model, can
inspire and be realized. Aamiin.
