Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar. It is a holy month of fasting. It starts when the new moon comes out and ends when it goes away.
As Allah states:
You who have faith! Fasting is a command for you, just like it was for those who came before you, so that you can reach Taqwa.
It’s a more important month, and there are a few reasons for that.
Allah says, “The month of Ramadan is mine.”
Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, which means it is an important part of Islam that every Muslim believes in.
In one of the last odd nights of Ramadan, Allah gave the Holy Quran to Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him).
The last odd nights of Ramadan start on the 21st and end on the 29th. The Book of Allah was revealed on one night. This night’s worships are the same as the worships of a thousand nights.
Based on what we’ve learned so far, Ramadan is a great time to get many rewards, and if someone does Umrah during this month, just think about how many rewards he’ll get. Today, it’s a great time to do Umrah because almost all travel companies offer Ramadan Packages for Umrah. This means you can get more rewards this year.
During the Ramadan, Muslims:
In Arabic, the word for fast is “Sawm,” which literally means “to stay away from.” Its real meaning is to not drink, eat, or have sexual relations. It also means to not smoke cigarettes, talk about other people behind their backs, use bad language, or do anything bad.
During the Ramadan:
From dawn until dusk, Muslims don’t eat or drink.
It must be done, but not everyone must do it.
There are some people who don’t have to fast during the Ramadan.
1: A traveller
2: Someone who’s sick
3: Menstruation or bleeding after giving birth (for the woman)
4: Old men and women and people with long-term illnesses
5: A woman who is both pregnant and breastfeeding
There are two parts to a fast. The first is called Sahoor, and the second is called Iftar. It is called Sahoor when the time for fasting begins. When the fast is over, it’s called “Iftar.”
Allah says that the reward for one worship in this month is the same as the reward for seventy worships. So, every Muslim tries to do every part of the fast because it gives them a chance to earn more and more rewards.
In some countries, it is illegal to drink or eat in public during this month. The names of the countries are Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Pakistan, which may have to pay a fine.
After the Asar prayer, which is said at sunset, Muslims break their fast with a meal in mosques and homes. People break their fast with different foods, but dates and water are usually used because Prophet Muhammad did it (Peace Be Upon Him).
The last prayer, Tarweeh, begins after the fifth prayer, which is called Isha. It is also known as Qyam ul-Lail. Muslims just say it as they do the other 5 prayers. During the nights of Ramadan, the Imam reads the whole Quran at the Taraweeh. Some sects say that there are different numbers of Taraweeh. For example, some do 8-rakts and others do 20-rakts.
Baitullah Travel is the one of the best agencies in UK. They offer umrah packages London for our Muslim brothers and sisters.
In Islam, a month has 29 or 30 days. Eid ul-Fitr is a holiday that is held at the end of Ramadan (feast of fast-breaking).
