Punishment

Objective : to inform to the public about the punishment received for the lawbreakers in Ramadhan 

In ramadhan, we have laws for lawbreaker on the month, we learn to control ourselves from doing something that's wrong or following our lust. For example if we eat in day light, it's consider as breaking the law and receive sins for it. In Malaysia, based on the visual above we can see that two law breakers were being taken by the Jenazah van which the person from Jabatan Agama Islam or The Town Community would capture them if they are caught not fasting in public, This shows a disgrace of the culture because they couldn't obey the rules of the magnificent month of Ramadhan. Not only that,  they would be brainwashed by lectures or any religion speeches to make them realize of their sins. Not only that, they would be sentence to do community work in their places such as, spring cleaning at the mosque or maybe helping the poor so that they can appreciate their life and realize about other peoples' lost in this life time. Mostly they'll be searching in shop lots, tavern, restaurants or any places in public.

There are also other types of activities which are famous routine during Ramadan and it's a well known activities that always been practices during fasting month.

Next, another activity on Moreh which practices since long ago which have the form of "supper" and held usually after tarawikh and witr  prayer.

In moreh many desserts and sweets were serve such as cakes and tea or coffee for them to have a good night spending time with people after prayer. For the youngster, they usually will be a bit "active" at night as they say the night's still young. Fire works, fire crackers would be at wild as youngster start to play, thus it's usually for fun and games even adults would join to play firecrackers with their children. Even in Hari Raya they'll play fireworks and crackers but as "warm up" everyone intend to play before Hari Raya too.

 Ikan Bakar,Satay, and lots more which is very delightful to enjoy.

But not only buah kurma, but there are also bubur lambuk, ketupat, lontong, kuih lapis and many more. This also a Malay tradition of delicacies that we celebrate during Ramadhan month 

Ramadhan Malay Style

Objective : To Show The Malay Culture's way of celebrating Ramadhan

Malay have many ways of celebrating the Ramadhan in one month. we learn to experience ourself to feel how does to be in a place of poor without enough needs and wants that they had struggle for so long. The main event or activity which is a must in Ramadhan that we practice to fasting in one month starts from dawn until twilight or Subuh until Maghrib. The benifits during the duration of fasting, we learn to control ourselves from eating, drinking and also to control our lust from doing something bad. Mostly we can withstand this with doing something beneficial in both Fardu 'Ain and Kifayah as reward can be two times the "pahala" that we usually received. 

Other than Fasting, We also practices "Sahur" which is waking up in the middle of the morning between 4 am to regain our energy for the next fasting before the Subuh Azan started to echo which to remind about the Subuh prayer can be pray at that time but at the same time we must start to fasting. Adding more information, our prophet Muhammad S.A.W also wakes up for sahur and he just drink plain water with "Buah Kurma". this shows that Sahur is one practices even our prophet do and it's "Sunat" to do it.  

More over after Fasting during the night after isyak, another activity will be doing as a routine in ramadhan which is the "Solat Tarawikh" which means "Solat yang merehatkan". This routine can be done in everynight of ramadhan in between time of solat isyak before dawn. where we can pray all by ourselves or congregational at home or the mosque. The prayer also will practices to zikir every after the fourth rakaat and must di done calmly. The reason we practices Solat Tarawikh is to feel near with Allah S.W.T and it's the worship that will make the night of ramadhan alive because we can gather everyone to practice the worship together. Not only that the prayer also is for us to hope for blessing and forgiveness from Allah S.W.T.
