As a moslem, I will be very excited when the fasting month or Ramadhan comes. Everyone will do a good deed to gain merit from Allah. We are expected to fasting from fajr till maghrib, with many kind of regulation such as no eating, drinking, lying, gossiping, and other things.
However, I believe some people is exaggerate it. Why people always say something that is not make sense for me. I am, perhaps, not a good moslem, but My mind just cannot except something I feel weird of.
Some of the sentence that I always heard is something like:
"This is a fasting month, we should not get angry"
"In this holy month, we should forgive each other"
"In this Ramadhan, we have to be patient in facing problems"
etc
Those are just a few example, but I heard more..
If we only take Ramadhan as the time to pause in doing any bad things and do as many as good deed, that's wrong. I will agree if we take Ramadhan as the starting point to stop doing bad thing and do good thing and of course we are keep doing it till like forever.
Those statement, in my opinion, only a justification that we cannot do bad things only in the fasting month, and should always do a good thing in that month.
For instance:
"In ramadhan we should be more patient"
Do you think we should be patient only in this month? of course not. We should be patient everyday, in eyery year in whatever month.
or another example:
"you can't get angry, you'll invalidate the fasting"
In my opinion, no one has right to say that her/his fasting is invalidate. Perhaps it will minimize the merit, but no one know whether Allah except the fasting or not.
Furthermore, We all know angry is not good, if you get annoyed, you shouldn't have to get mad, solve it wisely. So, Can't get angry shouldn't be only at Ramadhan, it is a typical behaviour that we should have in our everyday life.
I realize that I can't do it everyday in my whole life, at least I am not a hypocrite person who said and do those statement only in this month. And yeah, I learn my best to be a better person.
