The origins of ‘fool’
Wednesday is April 1, when people in many countries worldwide celebrate the custom ( ) of “April Fool’s Day.” On this day, they play pranks ( ) on each other, the pranksters gleefully ( ) calling those hapless ( ) enough to fall for ( ) the joke an “April Fool.”
Nobody really knows for certain ( ) when, where or why the custom started. We have more certainty over the origins of the word “fool” itself, although some details remain unclear.
The word, which refers to ( ) a silly, stupid, or ignorant ( ) person, is thought to originate ( ) in the early 13th century, deriving ( ) from Old French fol, meaning a madman or insane person. The French word, in turn, comes from the Latin follis, meaning a leather bag or a bellows ( ) and, by extension later on, an empty-headed ( ) person.
Fool also referred to a rogue ( ) or a sinful ( ), wicked ( ) or lecherous ( ) person — around 1300, a “fool woman” meant a prostitute ( ), for example — and also a court ( ) jester ( ), a person whose purpose was to entertain ( ) the king and court, whether because they were pretending to be buffoonish ( ) or whether they actually were like that.
One theory is that the idea of the court jester “fool” derives from folles — the plural form of follis (bellows) — referring to the puffed cheeks of a buffoon.
It is unclear which sense came first, that of the idiot or the jester.
「愚人」的起源
下週三是四月一日,許多國家的人在這天都有過「愚人節」的慣例,互相捉弄,惡作劇的人樂不可支地把那些不幸被騙倒的人稱作「April Fool」(四月的愚人)。
沒有人能確知愚人節這習俗到底是在何時、何地或為何開始的,但我們對「fool」(傻瓜)一字的由來比較能夠掌握多,儘管有些細節仍不甚明瞭。
「fool」這個字,現今指的是傻氣、愚笨或無知的人,通常被認為是源自十三世紀初期的古法語字「fol」,意指瘋子或精神失常的人。而這個字又是源於拉丁文「follis」,意為皮製的袋子或風箱,後來引伸為腦袋空空的人。
「fool」亦指惡棍或有罪、惡毒或淫蕩的人──例如在西元一三○○年左右,「fool woman」指的是妓女,亦指弄臣,也就是在宮廷中負責娛樂國王和朝臣的人,無論這些弄臣是故意裝瘋賣傻,還是本來就如小丑般滑稽。
有一說則是認為,「fool」字的「弄臣」之意,是源於「folles」──即「follis」(風箱的拉丁文複數形)──指的是小丑鼓脹的臉頰。
「fool」一字是先有「傻子」之意,還是先有「弄臣」之意,我們並不清楚。

ignorant meaning 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的最佳解答
Live by the “Present Truth”
“Therefore I will not be negligent to remind you of these things, though you know them, and are established in the present truth...For we did not follow cunningly devised fables, when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” We heard this voice come out of heaven when we were with him on the holy mountain.” (2 Peter 1:12, 16-18 WEB)
The apostle Peter wrote to the church, saying that they were “established in the present truth”.
The existence of a present truth necessitates that there was a former truth.
I believe that he was referring to the change in covenants, from the Old Covenant of the Law (former truth) to the New Covenant of Grace (present truth).
He was probably addressing those who disbelieved that the Law has been replaced by Grace, and who wanted to continue keeping the Ten Commandments.
The New Covenant of Grace is all about God’s Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
Peter then recounted an incident that happened to him many years ago, when he saw Jesus transfigured on the mountain.
“After six days, Jesus took with him Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into a high mountain by themselves. He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his garments became as white as the light. Behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them talking with him. Peter answered, and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you want, let’s make three tents here: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah.” While he was still speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them. Behold, a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him.” When the disciples heard it, they fell on their faces, and were very afraid. Jesus came and touched them and said, “Get up, and don’t be afraid.” Lifting up their eyes, they saw no one, except Jesus alone. As they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus commanded them, saying, “Don’t tell anyone what you saw, until the Son of Man has risen from the dead.”” (Matthew 17:1-9 WEB)
The transfiguration was firmly etched in Peter’s mind. He saw Jesus’ majesty—the glory He had before His incarnation.
But right after seeing that, he was starstruck when he saw Moses and Elijah who appeared and spoke with Jesus.
Moses is the mediator of the Old Covenant of the Law, while Elijah is one of the most highly esteemed Old Testament prophets.
He stumbled over these two great men of God, and put Jesus on the same level as them by asking if he should pitch three tents for them to stay in.
God the Father was displeased by this, and He overshadowed Jesus, Moses and Elijah with a bright cloud, and told Peter, James, and John to listen to Jesus only.
Moses and Elijah disappeared, and the apostles only saw Jesus alone.
This is the way God the Father intended—for His Son to receive all the glory, honor, and majesty.
Under the New Covenant of Grace, the “present truth” is that we listen to Jesus alone.
It is not about keeping the Ten Commandments or observing the ominous warnings of the prophets anymore. Don’t be deceived by “cunningly devised fables” invented by the minds of men who seek to use the Law to enforce behavior modification on ignorant believers.
The entire Bible is about Jesus and the revelation of His story.
“Beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he explained to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.” (Luke 24:27 WEB)
Notice how Jesus expounded the Scriptures to Cleopas and the other disciples on the road to Emmaus, by explaining to them the things concerning Himself. Moses refers to the first five books of the Old Testament which were written by Moses, and the prophets are represented by Elijah.
Both Moses and Elijah are pointing to Jesus Christ who would be born as a Man to redeem mankind from their sins by dying on the cross, and eventually, Jesus will return to reign on David’s throne as the eternal King of Israel!
Did you ever wonder why Jesus only brought Peter, James and John to the mountain? I believe they were chosen because of their names.
Peter means “stone”, representing the Law which was engraved on stone tablets. James means “to supplant” (to be replaced). John means “grace of God”.
Putting their names together, we derive this meaning: the Law has been replaced by Grace.
The Law is the former truth, while Grace is the present truth which we are to be established in. We need to be constantly reminded of this truth so that we can keep our eyes on Jesus. Like Abba God said from the bright cloud, “Listen to Him.”
“For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17 WEB)
No matter what challenges you are facing today, choose to keep your eyes on Jesus, and let His Spirit lead you. Jesus is the full realization of grace and truth. He is God’s righteousness. We must stop mixing the covenants and live by Grace alone!

SOLAT SUNAT TAHAJJUD
بِسۡـــــــــمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡـمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِـــــــيمِ
اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
...Continue ReadingPRAYER OF TAHAJJUD CIRCUMSTANCES
Allah is the Most Merciful of the Merciful
O Allah, blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad
.
The first time in my life doing Tahajjud Prayer was when I was 41 years old. How ignorant I was at that time.
But Alhamdulillah for those who haven't done it yet, there's still a chance to do. While we are still alive.
I have written this TAHAJJUD circumcision prayer repeatedly but I am not satisfied because I want all my friends to take the opportunity to do so.
.
When I write this entry, it is in Ramadhan. Which we will wake up for sahur. So, take this opportunity to go for a prayer.
The best time to pray is a third night which is around 3 am.
(One night counts since Isyak time and ends at dawn. Meaning, 1 nights ~ 9 hours. So one third of those last nights were at 1.30 am to 4.30 am).
.
Prayer of Tahajjud is a night prayer carried out after waking up, the afdal is made alone after midnight. This circumcision prayer is highly claimed and very well done as an additional worship. Rasulullah SAW and friends did not leave this prayer for the rest of their life.
.
The Word of Allah SWT.:
′′ And at night pray for you as an additional worship for you; May your God lift you up to a place of praise."
(Surah Isra '; verse 79)
.
Rasulullah SAW said: ′′ Do the night prayer because it is the habit of solihin before you, also a way to get closer to your God, also as the redeemer of all bad deeds, the preventer of sin and can prevent sickness from the body." (Tirmizi's history and Ahmad r.a.)
.
Sunat prayer of tahajjud is encouraged to be established every night.
We pray for Isyak fardhu in the beginning of time with a bow and wake up then fast to sleep so that we can wake up in the middle of the night to perform the prayer of tahajj
.
The law of prayer of tahajjud is the circumcision of muakkad - which is the practice of circumcision that is
Rasulullah SAW and friends never leave this prayer for their lifetime.
His own majesty has never left the prayer of Tahajjud circumcision even one night until both of his feet are swollen because of standing too much.
.
His majesty said what it means;
′′ The most important prayer after the fardu prayer is the night prayer (tahajjjud prayer) ′′
- H. R Muslim
.
Prayer of tahajjud circumcision is highly encouraged to be done together with prayer of repentance.
.
TAHAJJUD PRAYER TIME.
Prayer of tahajjud circumcision is done at midnight, which is after 12 pm.
This time is after waking up from sleep in quiet condition when all other humans are sleeping well.
.
The Word of Allah SWT:
O people who are blanketed! Wake up Tahajjud prayer at night, apart from a little time (which cannot be rested), which is half of the night, or lessen a little of the half, or more of the second and read the Quran slowly.
- Surah al-Muzzammil verse 1-4
.
TAHAJJUD PRAYER GOAL
.
- As a sign of slavery to Allah SWT.
- Closing a servant with his Creator
- Signs of human gratitude for the blessings of Allah SWT.
- Strengthening the soul and piety of a person to Allah SWT.
- Getting calm in facing challenges and challenges of life.
.
HOW TO END TAHAJJUD PRAYER
.
THE AMOUNT OF RAKAT
Prayer of Tahajjud is done without its rakaat, according to its ability and ability, with every two rakaat one greeting. If you feel heavy, you'll just have two rakaats but you'll be done continuously every night.
Rasulullah SAW has said,:
′′ The practice that is loved by Allah, is the continuous (persistence) even though a little."
(History by Bukhari and Muslim from Aisyah. )
.
The implementation of this way of prayer for tahajjud prayer is the same as other circumcision prayers.
.
1. BEFORE WORKING FOR TAHAJJUD PRAYER READ THE NEXT PRAYER:
There is no God but You, Glory to You! I ask for forgiveness from You for my sins and I ask You for Your Mercy. Oh my God! Add me knowledge and don't give my heart after You give guidance. And give me Your Mercy; Truly You are the one who bestows blessings! Praise be to Allah who has brought me alive and to Him is my return.
.
2. INTENTIONS OF TAHAJJUD PRAYER:
(Ushalli sunnat tahajjudi rak 'ataini Lillahi ta' ala)
I pray for two rakaat Tahajjud circumcision, because of Allah Ta ' ala.
3. SURAH READING AFTER AL-FATIHAH:
.
a)
First rakaat: Verse Al-Chair (7 times)
Second rakaat: Surah Al-Ikhlas (11 times)
Or;
b)
First rakaat: Ayat Al-Kaafirun
Second rakaat: Surah Al-Ikhlas
Or;
c)
The Last 10 Verse, Surah Al-Imran,.
(Rasulullah SAW often reads this on His Majesty's Tahajjud )
.
The Advantages of TAHAJJUD PRAYER
.

- Feeling close to Allah SWT.
- Given privilege by Allah SWT.
- Get God's help and blessings.

.
Rasulullah SAW said:
′′ Do the night prayer because it is the habit of solihin before you, also a way to get closer to your God, also as the redeemer of all bad deeds, the repellent of sin and can obstruct disease ′′
(The history of Tirmizi and Ahmad R. A)
.
EASY TO WAKE UP NIGHT PRAYER
(I've written this before...)
.
- Before going to bed, intend to do Tahajjud Prayer.
- Stay away from sin.
- Simple eating and drinking at noon.
- Reading the verses of the Quran.
.
Rasulullah SAW said:
′′ Whoever wants to sleep and intends to rise up to perform the Tahajjud Circumcision Prayer, then sleep is too much until the morning, then the intention is recorded as a reward, while his sleep is considered as the gift of God given to him."
(The history of al-Nasa ' i and Ibnu Majah r.a.)
.
According to Imam al-Ghazali, there are four reasons for the world and four spiritual reasons to help someone tahajjud.
.
Because the world is:
- Avoid over eating and drinking that will only cause excessive sleep
- Don't explode with things that are not useful during the day.
- Sleeping for a while at noon which will help us for night prayers.
- No sin during the day which it may prevent us from performing tahajjud prayers
.
Because of his spirituality is:
- To cleanse our hearts from any hate towards other Muslims.
- To always have fear in our hearts towards God and realize that our lives are very short.
- To understand the benefits of tahajjud.
- To love Allah, and have strong faith when we wake up the night prayer 'calling' Allah.
.
FIVE REWARDS IN THE WORLD
1. Away From All Diseases
Salman Al-Farisi tells, Rasulullah SAW once said;
Do the night prayer, because it is the habit of the religious people before you, the way closer to God, the redeemer, the repellent of sin, and the preventer of disease."
.
2. Blessed with the Impact on the Face
Have you seen the faces of worship members who practice night prayers?
Doesn't their faces look radiant and calm?
That's the proof of the gift that Allah gave him.
Not only that, by seeing their faces we feel happy and happy, even feel like seeing it many times.
.
3. Loved By All Humans
Whoever practices night worship will surely be loved by every human being, let alone by Allah SWT.
That's the characteristics of those who believe and do good deeds with Allah will surely receive love from anyone.
.
4. Conversations And His Acts Contains Wisdom (Wisdom)
Indeed, the characteristics of those who believe are those who keep their manners and speech.
This group certainly does not speak any neglect but their words are useful and wisdom.
As well as in deeds and actions of those who always try to stay away from things that neglect and race to do good that get closer to Allah SWT.
.
5. Blessed With Strength And Fortune (Halal and Blessed)
By fulfilling every charity of worship to Allah SWT, no matter what his worship will surely be fulfilled with abundant provisions, such as good food, health, happy family and others.
Even every provision will be blessed by Allah SWT.

Take a stand.
