fasting politics

In the escalation of political uncertainties, as now, the presence of the holy month of Ramadan for the people of Aceh are very tepat.Dengan presence of the holy month of this little number will give a positive effect on mental distress has been felt somewhat strained. Because, by running fast with the right encouragement is believed capable of reducing various passions (especially power) that it seems more and more wild.

Political conflicts that lead to violence and a schism in the community are two of the indications which appear prominently in recent months. We believe, the presence of the holy month of Ramadan will minimize the destructive impact of the two political friction.

Understandably understood that the essence of fasting is to restrain themselves or in terms of jurisprudence called Ruling within a certain time limit. Self-restraint or self-control is a basic human ability to control himself from the influence of shadow or destructive temptations. According to Nurcholish Madjid (Cak Nur), fasting was essentially a delayed gratification for a while. And at other times, the pleasure that can only be obtained and enjoyed. Perhaps using the term rather freely be said that fasting was a pause of a variety of desires or a moratorium on a variety of desires (lust) human. Ranging from lust to the biological needs like eating, drinking, and sex to the other human needs such as dignity, social prestige, power, and self-actualization. Cak Nur view of the above, seem true, fasting should educate the human soul to be able to postpone or temporarily hold against a variety of wishes, desires and passions of human nature that no number.

The nature of fasting

Fasting in the holy month of Ramadan is for Muslims in mentally prepared to hold a variety of desires. The fast train patience and intelligence of the heart to be able to be controlled, so that human authority as the most noble creatures is in itself, rather than mere desires. Human life should not be governed and led by the lust of sexual and other physical lust. Because human dignity is not on the dimensions of bodily with all its biological needs that must be met every time. Human corporeal nature is quite brief and temporary, he will become extinct with time and the limitations that accompany it. But the spiritual dimension (soul) as the most essential part of the human will over a period lasting longer. Ascent of the human soul towards a higher spiritual degree, beyond its physical form, perhaps through this fasting.

Ascent was originally started from the physical-biological to organize, manage, reducing all physical needs. Only then forwarded to the next stage which begins with the arrangement as structuring aspect ruhiyah heart with a sincere intent or purpose and sincere just because God alone, organize thoughts in line with intentions, away from the imbalance and improper orientation in thinking, to develop the mindset positive and constructive.

Talking about power

According to Cak Nur, the principal practice (outer) fasting is a delay of physical needs and spiritual needs of some voluntarily, especially from the need of fun, such as delays from eating, drinking and sexual relations. Well, depart from this thinking can be understood that the principle of fasting is any delay to the human needs that are fun. Thus, in the context of this kind of interpretation could mean that fasting could also apply to the power (political fasting). Therefore, power is something that is sought after and coveted by many people today. Power has become a necessity quite enjoyable for most people nowadays. Fasting is meant political mutual restraint for a moment, do not push yourself to each other that resulted in the suffering of the people and disrupt the stability of public tranquility. Fasting political means pause or political moratorium to prepare for situations and conditions that are conducive political turning his concentration while the concentration of Ramadan worship.

Sterilize moment Ramadan

Fasting politics includes the fast-exposures to talk about power politics, fasting concentrating the mind from thinking about the practical political problems and also abstain from doing any act that gives impact to the political sphere. Fasting in politics is a total fasting for one full month, during the holy month of Ramadan, day or night, 1x24 hour. The overall time is used to fill the holy month of Ramadan with a variety of personal and social worship alone.

Indeed, this Ramadan is the month of sterile political intrigue. Politicians and the pursuers of power in Aceh should reflect a greater kemashlahatan for the community of what has been planned and the steps taken so far.

Political leaflets that utilizes imsakiyah Ramadan and political banners that take advantage of a welcome Ramadan sayogyanya immediately withdrawn and lowered. Because Ramadan is a month of sincerity in the charity just because, and to God, not to the interests of a class of mere worldly nature. Can?
