Liar Liar Liar Posted October 25, 2003 Asallaamu aleikum brotha's & sista'Z First of all...RamadaaanuL kariiim......distinguished forum memberZ... ! It's abouT time we luckily got another ramadan month to clean our wrong deedz....May Allah wash all our sins ..Aamiin...Aamin....Aamiin. Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar. The Month of Ramadan is also when it is believed the Holy Quran "was sent down from heaven, a guidance unto men, a declaration of direction, and a means of Salvation" It is during this month that Muslims fast. It is called the Fast of Ramadan and lasts the entire month. Ramadan is a time when Muslims concentrate on their faith and spend less time on the concerns of their everyday lives. It is a time of worship and contemplation During the Fast of Ramadan strict restraints are placed on the daily lives of Muslims. They are not allowed to eat or drink during the daylight hours. Smoking and sexual relations are also forbidden during fasting. At the end of the day the fast is broken with prayer and a meal called the iftar. In the evening following the iftar it is customary for Muslims to go out visiting family and friends. The fast is resumed the next morning According to the Holy Quran: One may eat and drink at any time during the night "until you can plainly distinguish a white thread from a black thread by the daylight: then keep the fast until night" The good that is acquired through the fast can be destroyed by five things -the telling of a lie -slander -denouncing someone behind his back a false oath -greed or covetousness These are considered offensive at all times, but are most offensive during the Fast of Ramadan During Ramadan, it is common for Muslims to go to the Masjid (Mosque) and spend several hours praying and studying the Quran. In addition to the five daily prayers, during Ramadan Muslims recite a special prayer called the Taraweeh prayer (Night Prayer). The length of this prayer is usually 2-3 times as long as the daily prayers. Some Muslims spend the entire night in prayer On the evening of the 27th day of the month, Muslims celebrate the Laylat-al-Qadr (the Night of Power). It is believed that on this night Muhammad first received the revelation of the Holy Quran. And according to the Quran, this is when God determines the course of the world for the following year When the fast ends (the first day of the month of Shawwal) it is celebrated for three days in a holiday called Id-al-Fitr (the Feast of Fast Breaking). Gifts are exchanged. Friends and family gather to pray in congregation and for large meals. In some cities fairs are held to celebrate the end of the Fast of Ramadan.

Armstrong Posted October 25, 2003 Flying Still = It appears that we are destined to have different Eid's If what you are saying is correct. Also can I ask do you guys in the USA differ within as to the sightings of the moon? Lucky = Arabic TV channels showed that Saudi Arabia, Emirates and Many other countries say there was no sightings of the moon therefore Ramadhaan defaults to Monday 27th October and also same here in the part of UK that I am at. Its a shame but what can we do? You just gotta roll with it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xafsa Posted October 25, 2003 ^^^ yeah we here in the US differ on when exactly Ramadan starts. Every year we have people who fast a day or two apart. But who really knows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
