Kapanlagi.com - Moments of breaking the fast together, or commonly known as bukber, is a tradition that has been going on for a long time in Indonesia. All groups from various social classes, ranging from the upper class, middle class, and lower class, hold bukber to strengthen the bond of friendship.

In Islam, breaking the fast by eating together is highly recommended because it has many benefits and blessings. The blessing of eating together is supported by a hadith narrated by Abu Dawud about a conversation between Prophet Muhammad and his companions. In the hadith, the companions asked, 'Why do we not feel full after eating?'

The Prophet then asked, 'Do you each eat alone?' and the companions answered, 'Yes.' The Prophet then suggested that they eat together.

'Eat together and say bismillah, then Allah will bless all of you.'

The culture of breaking the fast together and fostering relationships is very good. In addition, breaking the fast together can foster a sense of togetherness and establish communication with fellow human beings. At least through breaking the fast together in the month of Ramadan, there are seven benefits that need to be known. What are the benefits? Let's see the following review:

 

 

1. Strengthening Kinship

Breaking the fast together is very beneficial for strengthening the bonds of kinship. This moment is usually used to strengthen the sense of brotherhood with relatives, friends, colleagues, and others.

As for the command of maintaining kinship, as stated in the Quran, Surah An-Nisa verse 1, which means, "O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer."

2. Positive Interaction Facility

The next benefit of breaking the fast together is that it can be a means of positive interaction. During the fasting month, Muslims are taught to abandon futile actions and turn to something better and engage in more beneficial activities.

By breaking the fast together, you can have positive interactions with friends, family, acquaintances, and others. This is certainly to increase good deeds through beneficial actions. Therefore, when the month of Ramadan arrives, this moment is very good as a means of positive interaction.

3. Prolonging Life

Breaking the fast together can prolong life. Why is that? Breaking the fast can be used to pray for each other, share feelings, or confide in one another, thus relieving psychological tension. In addition, if someone has been occupied with busy work activities, breaking the fast together can relieve stress or eliminate mental burdens.

Gathering and joking together can certainly forget some of life's problems. In this case, everyone can interact, exchange thoughts, confide, and so on. By doing so, at least the problems being felt can disappear, and stress can be overcome. That feeling of happiness is what prevents all kinds of diseases and can prolong life.

4. Reunion

Breaking the fast together is synonymous with a reunion. This reunion is usually used as a moment to break the fast with old friends. In this case, it is very rare to be able to meet old friends every day because everyone is busy with their own activities. Reuniting with elementary school, junior high school, high school, or college friends can be a fun moment. In addition to strengthening the bond of friendship, reunions are also beneficial in appreciating meetings.

5. Melting Relationships

Through breaking the fast together, tense relationships between individuals due to different interests can become thawed and improved. This can then reopen communication with others because during breaking the fast together, there are no barriers or limitations. Everyone can greet and joke with each other.

6. Filling Leisure Time

Filling the evening waiting for the moment of breaking the fast together can be spent by chatting or talking before sunset. Filling free time with friends can also kill boredom and perhaps from chatting, you can even get ideas to exchange thoughts in a positive way.

7. Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer's Dementia

Finally, the benefit of breaking the fast together is to avoid the risk of Alzheimer's dementia. This disease is characterized by a decline in someone's ability to remember and make decisions. This often happens due to the lack of communication or interaction with old friends. Therefore, the interaction that occurs during the moment of breaking the fast together can reduce the risk of someone being infected with Alzheimer's dementia.

Those are some of the benefits of breaking the fast with its various goodness. Hopefully, it is beneficial and receives blessings while fasting.
