The Meaning and Traditions of Ramadan
ADVERTISEMENT
Ameen. I love Islam and fasting.
This is the prestigious Farmer's 蜜桃恋人, but editors have made the common and ubiquitous mistake of saying Muslims fast from sunrise . . .
No. It's from DAWN which is earlier than sunrise.
This is the similar common mistake that claims Muslims "pray to the East." This is also wrong. They direct themselves toward Mecca, in Saudi Arabia, which, for example, could be facing northerly if one is in South Africa, or facing southerly if one is in the UK or westerly if one is in Japan.
One direction and faith uphold each and every person that prostrate.
Allah Sees and Hear. SEEK and Take Heed.
Thank you for bringing that to our attention! We have corrected the article.
On May 23rd what time does Ramadan end the time of the day or the time of the night
What do Muslim do between May 24 up to Eid Al Fitr?
Ramadan does begin at sunset, fasting would start at sunrise of the next morning.
All Praise be to God for the coming of this blessed month. In preparation for this special visitor, our family cleans the house throughout, collecting all underused clothing and household items for donation to thrift shops. Only the best things are collected, cleaned and packaged before delivery.
Preparing meals for freezing to spend less time cooking meals to eat at the end of the fasting day (Iftar) is an essential part of preparing for Ramadan. Along with organizing our home for greater efficiency, we try our best to clear our calendars of non essential activities to ensure time for reading 1/30 of the Quran each day and congregating for our daily prayers.
Each day our family works on personal goals and include meal-sharing or gifting for neighbors or confined members of our community. Our primary goal for each day is to observe all acts of worship while remembering and providing care to others regardless of their faith or social situations. We make these efforts to continue throughout the year to be of service.
Each year After sunset, we gather at the mosque for extra prayers, however, this year with the need for social distancing because of the Coronavirus, we will make those prayers at home. Our long day will end with prayers and preparation for the next. We thank our Creator for blessing us and our neighbors with success and pray for the best during our night.
After 1/3 of the night passes, we arise for night prayer asking for our personal and community needs. Returning to bed until time for the meal before dawn prayer (suhoor). Again, praying for and expecting the best of our day of fasting. God willing, we look forward to the day of sacrificing to please Almighty God. God willing, our typical Ramadan Day!
Please, for Allah sake, include me and my family in your prayers.
Best regards to the family.
Hi
Thank you for your effort in explaining Ramadan, I actually appreciate your effort. but there are a few discrepancies in your article.
Muslims begin fasting at puberty so it could be at the age of 12 or the age of17 depending on when you started puberty.
We start fasting at sunrise and break our fast at sunset- usually starting with a few dates as our Prophet did- Peace be upon Him and all Prophets.
We don't all eat Kurdish food, I for one have never had that type of soup (although it sounds delicious) but logic dictates that you don't eat spicy foods to break your fast.
Finally, Ramadan could be either 29 or 30 days depending on the cycle of the moon.
I hope you take these facts into consideration, and amend the article.
