Assalamu ‘alaikum warohmatullahi wabarokatuh

The honorable of my teachers and my beloved friends.

Firstly, let’s thank to Allah SWT, the almighty who has been giving us his mercy and blessing till we
can attend this meeting without any obstacle in this good place and time.

Secondly, may sholawat and salam always be with our Prophet Muhammad SAW, who has guided us
from the darkness to the lightness in the world as well as in the next world.

Thirdly. I will never forget to thank to Mr. Samsul Hady who has given me opportunity to deliver my
speech in front of you all.

In this occasion, I would like to present my speech entitled : FASTING

Fasting is to refrain from eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset.

The holy month Ramadhan has a special place in islam. Therefore, our Prophet Muhammad SAW
and his disciples show great concern for this noble month.

In the Chapter Al-Baqarah verse 183 Allah SWT saying :

Means : "Thoses who believe in the compulsory upon you fast as enjoined upon those before you
that you to devout."

Fasting is decreed by Allah SWT to the nation of Prophet Muhammad SAW and in the same way, he
had decrees to the nations before them. According to a tradition of the prophet that every good
work of adam’s offspring is rewarded by margin between ten fold to seven hundred fold except
fasting.

In this regard Allah SWT says :

“Fasting is for me and I will reward it in accordance with the degree of dedication and sincerity in
the act of fasting”.

All my happy friends…

The Prophet Muhammad SAW urges muslim to do fasting seriously and to avoid actions or
utterances that would spoil their fasting or invalidate it completely.

Our Prophet Muhammad SAW give his example in his famous narrate saying :

“one who didn’t keep of his fasting he would not reach anything except thirst and hunger”.

In the holy month of ramadhan, every muslim is urged no only to abstain from drink and food, but
also from sins that can be committed through the ears, eyes, heart and lips.

“if my nation know the values of ramadhan they would have wished the whole year to be
Ramadhan”.

And indeed, this will be true that Ramadhan is a month in which the doors of heaven are opened,
the doors of hell are closed and the major devils, all are chained to help muslims to worship Allah
with dedication.

Similarly, he urged his followers to enliven these nights to search the special night which is called
“Lailatul Qadr” in which angels are led by Jibril descend on earth and pray for mercy for the faithfuls.
That’s all my speech, I’m sorry if I have mistake, thank you very much for attention.
