HISTORY

1908
At the beginning of the century, Milan derbies did not exist. At that time there was only "Milan Cricket and Football Club" (now AC Milan). But on 9 March 1908, a group of rebels form "Football Club Internazionale Milano". The name of the club derives from the wish of its founding members to accept foreign players as well as Italians, hence the name Internazionale. Indeed, the first captain of the side is a Swiss player - Hernst Manktl. The club colours are gold, black and blue, a tradition which has been kept right up to the present day.

INDAHNYA RAMADHAN

Ramadhan merupakan bulan yang sangat istimewa. Bulan yang ditunggu-tunggu pecinta surga. Pernahkan kita berpikir mengapa demikian saudaraku?? Hal tersebut karena pada bulan ini pintu-pintu surga dibuka, pintu-pintu ibadah, amal, dan taqarrub (mendekatkan diri) kepada Ilahi terbuka lebar, pintu-pintu neraka ditutup dan syaitan-syaitan dibelenggu. Bulan dimana dijanjikan oleh_Nyarahmat (karunia), maghfirah (ampunan), dan itqun min al-nar (pembebasan dari api neraka). Puasa akan membangunkan hati Mukmin yang ‘tertidur’ merasa selalu diawasi Allah sehingga mencegah kemungkaran. Perut yang kenyang dapat memandulkan perasaan sehingga menjadikan hati keras, menyuburkan sikap liar, dan maksiat kepada Allah dan sesama manusia tetapi dengan puasa kita dapat merasakan kelaparan sesama sehingga menimbulkan empati bagi sesama dan solidaritas sesama muslim. Betapa indahnya bulan ini yang merupakan wahana memupuk solidaritas antar umat manusia. Dan pada akhir bulan keutamaannya disempurnakan dengan kewajiban membayar zakat fitrah sebagai manifestasi puncak solidaritas sosial tersebut.

Keutamaan dan keistimewaan paling besar bulan ini adalah bahwa Allah swt. telah memilihnya menjadi waktu turunnya Al-Qur’an. Inilah keistimewaan yang tidak dimiliki oleh bulan lain selain bulan Ramadhan yang penuh berkah ini. Allah swt. mengistimewakan dengan menyebutkannya dalam kitab-Nya bahwa “Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan yang di dalamnya diturunkan (permulaan) Al-Qur’an sebagai petunjuk bagi manusia dan penjelasan-penjelasan mengenai petunjuk itu dan pembeda (antara yang haq dan yang batil).” (Al-Baqarah:185). Ramadhan adalah bulan Al-Qur’an.Rasulullah saw. pernah bersabda mengenainya, Puasa dan Al-Qur’an itu akan memberikan syafaat kepada hamba di hari kiamat. Puasa akan berkata, ‘Ya Rabbi, aku telah menghalangi-nya dari makan dan syahwat, maka perkenankanlah aku memberikan syafa ‘at untuknya.’ Sedangkan Al-Qur’an akan berkata, ‘Ya Rabbi, aku telah menghalanginya dan tidur di malam hari, maka perkenankan aku memberikan syafaat untuknya (HR. Imam Ahmad dan Ath Thabrani). Jiwa, ruh, dan pemikiran manusia pada bulan Ramadhan akan menghindari tuntutan-tuntutan jasmani dan memperbanyak pada sisi ruhiah. Dalam keadaan seperti ini, ruh manusia berada di puncak kejernihannya, karena ia tidak disibukkan oleh syahwat dan hawa nafsu. Ketika itu ia dalam keadaan paling siap untuk memahami dan menerima ilmu dari Allah swt. Karena itu, bagi Allah, membaca Al-Qur’an merupakan Ibadah paling utama pada bulan Ramadhan yang mulia.

Keistimewaan lainnya dibulan Ramadhan adalah bahwa Allah SWT membuka peluang lebar-lebar bagi kita untuk membersihkan dosa dan kesalahan yang selama ini dilakukan asal kita melaksanakan puasa Ramadhan dengan landasan iman dan ikhlas serta tidak melakukan dosa-dosa besar. Kesalahan adalah manusiawi. Muslim yang baik bukanlah orang yang tidak pernah melakukan kesalahan, karena itu tidak mungkin. Sudah menjadi tabiat manusia melakukan kesalahan dan kekhilafan. Di samping dorongan hawa nafsu dan tarikan lingkungan juga karena memang setan telah berjanji akan terus menggoda manusia. Akan tetapi, kata Nabi, sebaik-baik orang yang melakukan kesalahan adalah yang bersegera bertobat. Betapa indahnya bulan ini, dimana Allah membuka pintu ampunan lebar-lebar atas segala dosa-dosa dan kesalahan-kesalahan yang telah kita lakukan apbila kita mau bertobat. Tentang hal ini, Nabi menyatakan ”Siapa saja yang berpuasa pada bulan Ramadhan dengan landasan iman dan ikhlas akan diampuni dosa-dosanya yang telah lalu. (HR Ahmad)”. ”Shalat lima waktu, Jumat ke Jumat, dan Ramadhan ke Ramadhan menghapus dosa di antaranya selama dosa-dosa besar dijauhi. (HR Muslim)”.

Betapa mulianya bulan ini, dimana di dalamnya Allah yang Maha Pemurah menjadi lebih pemurah lagi. Dilipatkangandakan-Nya perhitungan pahala orang yang berbuat kebajikan. Siapa saja yang melakukan ibadah sunnah dihitung melakukan kewajiban dan yang melakukan kewajiban dilipatkangandakan pahalanya. Sesungguhnya engkau akan dinaungi bulan yang senantiasa besar lagi penuh berkah, bulan yang di dalamnya ada suatu malam yang lebih baik daripada seribu bulan. Ramadhan adalah bulan sabar dan sabar pahalanya surga. Ramadhan adalah bulan pemberian pertolongan dan bulan Allah menambah rezeki orang Mukmin. (HR al-Bukhari dan Muslim).

Apa yang akan kita peroleh dari bulan yang mulia ini tergantung pada diri kita masing-masing. Semuanya tentu berpulang pada bagaimana kita memaknai puasa Ramadhan itu sendiri. Bila puasa dimaknai sekadar tidak makan dan minum serta  tidak melakukan yang membatalkan puasa, tentu hanya itu pula yang bakal didapat.  Betapa banyak orang berpuasa tidak mendapatkan apa-apa kecuali lapar dan betapa banyak orang yang menghidupkan malam tidak mendapatkan apa-apa kecuali begadangnya saja. Apakah itu pilihan kita saudaraku?? Tentu tidak. Puasa harus dimaknai lebih dari sekedar itu, puasa adalah amal ibadah dimana didalamnya penuh dengan kebaikaan, kebajikan dan berkah dimana kita harus senantiasa menjaga ibadah puasa kita dari perkara-perkara yang sia-sia. Mau melewatkan waktu selama Ramadhan dengan sia-sia atau meraih keutamaan-keutamaannya adalah tergantung kemauan dan pilihan kita.
