Each time Ramadan comes, I will not do two things. One, I will not wish people 'selamat berpuasa' and two, I will not spell Ramadan with a 'h' in it. Sometimes I send my Ramadan greetings in English, which is not wrong. At least its original, something like 'Selamat Ramadan' or 'Happy Ramadan'. Sending long, skema messages can make you look fake. Sometimes I wonder if the sender are sending the correct message -- sometimes it sounds really not him/her.
'Selamat berpuasa' messages are kind of out of context. I guess fasting is not the only thing for Ramadan. And unsurprisingly, some of us don't fast too so the wish will not apply to them. Alas, many people will not feel they are in the month of Ramadan. So, 'selamat berpuasa'? Nah, not really.
So I'm a freaking typo so I just spell Ramadan the way it is. Ramadhan, is both wrong in English and BM. So fardhu, redha, and anything else with a 'dh' can be quite wrongly-spelt. Yeah but whatever, really. You can add all the 'h's in the world in whatever words you want. Like, Ramadhhhhan. You know, to emphasise the letter dhad. So that you'll sound more Arabic and stuffs lah. At least I'm not the one who is degrading the standard of our national language.
I don't know, but I guess long messages like "selamat beribadah..blabla...semoga kita..bla bla..harap-harapnya.. bla bla" if sent to people who, you know, a little bit religiously-challenged, will they even pay attention? Yes, your cherished long, copy-pasted messages are maybe good, holier-than-thou and crafted in the finest of words. Thank God! Bless you. But do you know what you're actually sending?
I accept 'happy Ramadan' messages as a prayer, more sincere than any long messages with pantuns and avant-garde gurindams. 'Salam Ramadan' wishes are more than enough to make me feel safe and secured to endure the challenges during the upcoming month. But enough fancy messages. Unless if you make them up yourselves. I guess people are a lot smarter nowadays so they can really judge lah whether it's fake or not.
Save your credits and be more creative. Dakwah, if you may want to argue, works in many ways.
There are a lot of people out there who are missing out the light of this already beginning holy month, and I believe they're already deleting your boring messages, that is, if they've received them.
Buckle up people, be out of the box. Ramadan is dying. Don't repeat the same mistake for Raya.
