Sunnah and Glorious Part 2

When you pick by finger, nerves in the brain will be respon into stomach area. So, our bodies know when we would be full avoiding glut. But, if you touch by spoon, our bodies don't know the rules. Subhanallah..

KH. Agus Salim, one of our national leaders ever in an international meeting he ate with their hands. Several ambassadors of friendly countries mocking behavior of the Kiayi. Kiayi (ulama) responsibility, if his hands cleaner and sterile of spoon and fork you. My hand, said kiayi washed first 5 minutes ago. Meanwhile, spoon and fork you, perhaps washed yesterday. So my hand is sterile. Moreover, said kiayi, my hands were privately owned, used only my own. Not lent to others. While the brother's cutlery used in bulk.

Do not be shy to practice sunnah. If the food we eat does not fry a lot, still can use the hands, use hand directly. Surely not too far for the sake of love sunnah. Chicken porridge, or eat boiled noodles, it would be difficult if we are using the hands directly. Place in accordance with the situation. But try as much as possible, when you can use it with our hands with fingers about do that-try that.

The latter, about sunnah sleep. Should sleep early in the evening so you can easily get up on mid or end night (tahajud). In addition, sleeping position should be for men, tilted right (Hr. Bukhari of Barra bin Azib). Indeed, it is not prohibited, if we are sleeping on your back with one leg raised. Prophet never done while dozing in the mosque, It means sleeping supine sleeping position only briefly. Apostles the night sleeping position, in the book Riyadussalihin with lying to the right (From Aisha r.ha- Hr-Agreed alaih). By lying in this position, the position of our heart will be there at the top. The heart our position is on the left, with lying to the right, then the heart will be there at the top. So that the blood circulation at the time can be more evenly distributed to the brain and give the quality of sleep. Of course, the brain becomes more relaxed when we are asleep. In addition, by lying to the right, the position we squeezed stomach. So the work of the stomach will also be more relaxed because not a lot of the incoming air. And what about the prone position? Prophet (pbuh) forbade one friend he saw was sleeping with the prone position at the mosque.

Do not eat before bed, also a sunnah. Because the Prophet always read the letter al-Mulk and As-Sajdah before going to sleep. That is the span of two letters, the Prophet never after the stomach is fully charged and then straight to bed. I never heard of a doctor when they visit sick brother's appendicitis. He said the cause of appendicitis is not chili beans or grains. He said, most of the cause's satiety after eating straight to bed.

So, in the Sunnah there is greatness. There are a lot of good if we resume practicing the Sunnah. Later, one day we will understand for your selves why the Prophet emphasized the importance of the Sunnah. Do not let non-Muslims who actually practice this sunnah-Sunnah. Insha Allah we do it intentions and convey to others.
