It can remind us of how the poor people were when they were hungry as well as fasting.
ramadan. Ramdan is the name of one of 12 Islamic month and Muslims should take fasting during day in this month.
The Islamnic month of fasting is called Ramadan.
Fasting is main activity of Muslim in Ramdan.
You fast in Ramadan in obedience of God command to you. By fasting Ramadan, you hope that you will be rewarded by God mercy and forgiveness. In addition, you hope that fasting Ramadan develops in you self-discipline, self-control, and piety as well as continuous obedience to God and prophet Muhammad teachings and commands.
First of all, Ramdan isn't a holiday anyway, it's a month of fasting. The celebration (eid) comes after Ramadan that is between 1-3 days depending on the country.
The holy month of Fasting on the Islamic calender is called "Ramadan"
actually eid Al-fitr does not have a place to start but only a time which is directly after Ramadan "holy month and one of the lunar year, in this month all Muslim should fast from the down to sunset everyday" and Muslim celebrate in eid Al-fitr because they fast the whole month "Ramdan" and being happy because they completed the fasting...
Christians do not have a fasting month, only Muslims do.
I think in the month of ramdan Prophet Muhammad made zakat compulsory.
Islamic Calendar (a lunar calendar) is 11 days shorter than Solar Calendar. If, for example, Ramdan started in the fisrt week of, say, June of solar calendar, the next year, Ramdan will start in the last week of May. Hence, Islamic dates keep changing with respect to solar calendar. Ramdan does not necearrily have start in September or October or any month.
Ramadan.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. It is the Islamic month of fasting. :)
