HOWA IBRAHIM not yet old, he was only thirty years. Fifteen days he was walking along with seven children to get a piece of bread, in the Dadaab refugee camp, an area in northeastern Kenya. While her husband was mad because of severe depression which saw the condition of the country continues to experience war, drought and famine (Tempo, Aug. 2011).
Howa Ibrahim is not alone, he and thousands of other Somali refugees who had to travel 300 miles by foot-and even some barefoot. But most of them still choose to fast, there must be no meal and break menus. Devote to the Lord's command remains an option, although they must hunger and death threats.
Somalia is one of the largest Muslim country in Africa. Inter-tribal wars and conflicts have resulted in humanitarian catastrophe that continues prolonged. The structure of government can not run properly, even the government failed to protect people from everything.
Howa had no choice but to continue to run in the middle of a dusty field and hopes to continue her life. Because he did not have anything else, other than faith and patience.
Patience became the capital in the tread of each step in the barren fields. But with patience it will not make it barren kenyakinan to God. kenyakinan that's what makes it strong even in conditions of very weak though. He nReally that despite the hunger, fasting, and patience is the best choice to be with the Lord, because God will always be a patient.
Howa just looking for food in 300 miles from his hometown, for a little break and feed the hungry and thirsty children. "It hurts when you can not get anything for your son who hunger and thirst" Howa said as quoted by Tempo from CBS.
Our fast
So, what about us? Is there fast to give a reflection of the patience of hunger? Is there a fast delivery of their solidarity with Muslims who poverty and hunger? Is there any form of fasting individuals who are not always "deify" the stomach? And if fasting makes us think, not live to eat?
Many more things that we can question that we live in a fast current. "Troe that, le han tabeudeoh oak, measures of the effort," said a young man who has just devoured a wide range of menus break in front of him. He also spent time praying glut that makes the sunset because he could not rise from his seat.
On the other hand, the phenomenon of excessive shopping to break their menu also reflects that there seems to be an attempt "revenge" against hunger during fasting. Although fasting is very different from the people starve, because fasting is a medium to neutralize toxins in the body, as well as optimize gastric function and work regularly.
Beyond that, fasting should also be understood by us are fasting as a media delivery solidarity. Perhaps if we would donate a thousand just to break us of the number of snacks for the Muslims of Somalia, with 200 million population of Indonesia, then it is there are 200 billion dollars can we help Muslim children who die in hunger and thirst. Are they not our brothers, like the words of the Prophet, that fellow Muslims are like one body, if one part of the sick, the other part will also feel pain.
We should feel it. Feel how sad children under five who die of thirst in the lap of his mother, who is also the mother is in danger of death from starvation. They are the children of Muslim, whose breasts have faith, just as there are what we believe.
Fasting also teaches us to not continue "menuhankan" stomach. Because the source of all disease, often begins from the stomach. Stomach also causes humans continue fighting, fighting and killing each other. Due to stomach problems, fraternity into hostility, unity becomes disunity, and peace into war.
Famine that occurred in Somalia was not detached from the process "menuhankan" stomach, especially in the context of power struggles. Perbutan power between Mogadishu government with the opposition al-Shabab.
In the context of Aceh, hopefully this fasting may reflect the values of patience and fraternity as a fellow Muslim in creating the future of a better Aceh, in the frame of Islam, prosperity, and peace. Islam is a religion of peace, let us realize the goal of Islam with patience and brotherhood. So there is no longer the people of Aceh who fled from fear and war, such as those being experienced by the Muslim Somalia today. "It hurts to see our children die of hunger and thirst in her lap, while we just sat in silence". Eve said Ibrahim.
