Religion is easy, as easy as carrying out what has been prescribed in Islam well, properly, and sincerely. The measure is knowing and understanding the teachings and values of Islam well, then applying them in everyday life. Because the measure is understanding the guidance or commands of Allah SWT and His Messenger, as well as His prohibitions, so that in carrying out daily worship, a Muslim has a clear orientation: “why and for what am I worshiping?”
As for sincerity, the measure is to ensure that something good and proper is done with pleasure, wholeheartedly, and focused on trying to obtain the pleasure of Allah SWT alone. All acts of worship that are carried out based on these guidelines, basically have noble values that can be implemented in social, cultural, and community life. Because basically, even the smallest good deed will get a reward of goodness from Allah SWT, and vice versa. The Quran, Surah 99, Az-Zalzalah, verses 7 and 8, reads:
“So whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it, and whoever does an atom’s weight of evil will see it.”
Ramadan teaches humanity (especially believers) about the importance of building an attitude of honesty in life. The term “honesty” is a key word in carrying out the command to fast. Next, let’s listen to a small story that is important for us, namely the story of a person who wanted to embrace Islam. The person stated to the Prophet SAW that he had a bad habit that was difficult to get rid of, namely stealing. The person stated that in addition to his strong desire to embrace Islam, he still found it difficult to avoid the habit of stealing. To solve this problem, the Prophet SAW only asked the person to promise not to lie (an laa takdzib). The promise not to lie seemed to penetrate the person’s heart, so it had a big influence on the person’s life. When he wanted to steal, he always remembered the promise he made to the Prophet SAW. If he still stole, and the Prophet SAW asked about it, what should he answer? If he answered “no”, that means he has lied. Finally, the “social contract” or what is called “an laa takdzih” became a moral basis for the person to do good, making it easier for him to embrace Islam.
