The lessons learned from the Tarawih's speeches.
It was interesting to point out that the organizers or the Ramadan committee at the Mosque near our home mentioned one particular thing like: making sure above all that we are going to the Mosque with preparedness of what Ramadan is all about. Simply put, I learn that fasting in Ramadan is just like travelling in Jogja for the first time--for those who are not origins of Jogja.
Prior to coming to Jogja: we must make sure that we are riding on a good /well equipped car/vehicle a.k.a. ourselves. It means we should be healthy enough. So, if you are not healthy, you are not required to do fasting...because it'd be much better to take a rest and regain your health first. Once you are healthy (the car being ready), then...you are entitled to do fasting (the car/vehicle can initiate the trip to go around Jogja).
But then.....having a healthy body (car in good condition) is useless if we know nothing about Jogja (what, where, when to go and do stuffs). Likewise, in fasting month, we need to equip ourselves with knowledge about fasting and what's in it: what to do, what not to do, what should be done, and what should not be done, when to do what, how to do what...etc.
This simply illustrates that if someone is driving on a fancy car thinking that he would make a good trip in Jogja...is simply useless and impossible ...unless he has some basic knowledge (at least) of what and where to go in Jogja and how to make the best out of it.
Those are some things that I learn from the first two days of Tarawih's speeches.
