Are you allowed to swear during Ramadan?
no it is not allowed I don't think there is such a rule to swear or not to swear in Ramadan. but one should be careful before swearing because he may have to pay Kafara if he doesnot fulfil it you are not alowed to swear in ramadan, and if you are a muslim then you are not allowed to swear at all in your entire life as it causes bad deeds, and effects your soul There is no rule about swearing in or out of Ramazan. Excessive swearing is not a good habit. However, some times one has to give testimony on oath, then swearing becomes necessary.. However, a Muslim must keep in mind that he has to fulfil his promise, done on oath or otherwise.
What are the Non-Believers of Islam called?
Answer 1All people who did not believe in prophet Mohammed, his message and religion of Islam are called "Kafir كافر" in Arabic language. The word Kafara كفر or Kufr كُفر means covering "by a blanket or so", meaning the have COVERED THE TRUTH "ISLAM" in order not to be seen by others. That is all. It is not a racial or an offensive word against other religions or people, it is just a character of non-believers in Arabic language.I've seen on the Wikipedia that it is offensive and racial word. I'm an Arab and the Arabic language is my mother tongue and hereby tells you the truth. It is not a bad or offensive word, it is only an adjective word.Christians, Jews and others lived in the Arab region for thousands of years with equality and justice and they know these words because they speak Arabic too.Answer 2There are three general words used in Arabic to refer to non-believers in an Islamic context. There is Kaafer (كافر) which means "denier" or "negator" since they are denying or negating the truth of God. A Kaafer is someone who rejects God in an Islamic context. There is also Mushrik (مشرك) which refers to a polytheist or pagan, i.e. someone who believes in more than one God. Finally, there is Ahl Al-Kitaab (أهل الكتاب) or Ahl Adh-Dhimma (أهل الذمة) which refer to the "People of the Book", non-Muslim monotheists like Jews and Christians.Contrary to Answer 1's proclamation, I am rather familiar with Jewish and Christian communities from the Arab world and Kaafer is used as a derogatory insult even against Christians and Jews who DO believe in the same God as the Muslims. It is not a neutral or acceptable term in a non-Islamic context. If a person wishes to discuss Atheism or true non-belief in a modern context, the proper word is Mulahed (ملحد).
