On Thursday, (19/02/2026) Dr. Ade Abdul Hak, S.Ag, SS, M.Hum as resource person and dean of the Faculty of Adab and Humanities presented the theme”The virtues of Ramadan and its benefits in life” as the opening program this year.
He said that as Muslims we are obliged to fast as in the letter (Al-Baqarah: 183-187), one of the virtues of the verses contained in the command to fast is to make us pious. Piety can be achieved in the first way, Knowledge as stated in verse 184, second, Gratitude as stated in verses 185, third, Doing and Practicing (the command) as stated in verse 186. He emphasized that the virtue or happiness of fasting during Ramadan can only be achieved by knowledge like in the letter (Al-Baqarah 184). 
he also quoted a book written by Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jaelani (Sirr'ul Asrar), explaining that there are 3 types of knowledge that must be achieved first, Sharia knowledge that will guide us in fasting based on sharia, second, Tarekat knowledge in the book explained that apart from sharia fasting there is also tarekat fasting, he explained that to achieve knowledge or sharia fasting there are several conditions or pillars of fasting such as: Islamic belief, understanding, puberty, physically healthy, and physically and mentally capable, the conditions and pillars of fasting have benefits, one of which is for body health. Apart from the happiness of the world, we also have to pursue the happiness of the afterlife, namely our spirit and our mind, the knowledge of the congregation must be understood to avoid things that break the fast carried out by our soul and spirit, therefore, we must know the 3 sciences of the Shari'a to carry out fasting healthily, the science of the tarekat to carry out fasting in tarekat and the true knowledge to carry out the meaning of fasting itself.
Before ending the study he ordered ” fasting according to the Shari'a, fasting in tarekat, fasting in essence” said Dr. Ade, he also hopes that all Muslims in Indonesia can fast in the month of Ramadan as well as possible.
