Ramadan, the holy month of the Islamic calendar! From fasting to spiritual importance, everything you need to know
2025-02-28 23:09:04 / AKTUALITET
The holy month of Ramadan is a very important time in the Islamic calendar and is attended by Muslims around the world.
It begins and ends with the sighting of the crescent moon. Because the Muslim calendar year is shorter than the 365 days of the Gregorian calendar year, Ramadan begins 10 to 12 days earlier each year.
During the month of Ramadan, Muslims do not eat or drink from dawn to sunset. This is called fasting.
Fasting is important during Ramadan as Muslims believe it allows them to devote themselves to their faith and draw closer to Allah, or God.
Ramadan is considered important because it marks when the Quran, the Muslim holy book, was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
Many Muslims will try to read as much of the Quran as possible during Ramadan.
Ramadan is also a time for spiritual reflection, prayer, doing good deeds, and spending time with family and friends.
Normally, people will make a special effort to connect with their communities and reach out to people who need help.
When does Ramadan start and end in 2025?
Ramadan is expected to begin on March 1 and end on March 30, 2025.
The month of Ramadan usually lasts from 29 to 30 days, depending on the lunar cycle.
Why does the start of Ramadan change every year?
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. The date changes every year because Islam uses a lunar calendar (based on the cycles of the moon), so it is not a fixed date on the Gregorian or solar calendar.
What is iftar and why is it important?
During Ramadan, it is customary to eat a meal (known as sufyr) just before dawn and another meal (known as iftar) just after sunset.
At the end of the fast, when the sun has set, families and friends will gather for iftar to break their fast, often starting with water and dates.
Mosques can organize iftar, inviting people to break their fast together.
Can children fast?
Not everyone fasts during Ramadan, only those who are considered fit and healthy enough choose to fast.
Young children, pregnant women, the elderly, and those who are sick are not allowed to fast. Muslim children are usually expected to fast by the time they reach puberty.
