Ramadan

There are no requirements. There is only that during the month of Ramadan, you cannot hear music or anything that may give a Muslim sins, look at anything wrong for example tv, you cannot perform anything that is forbidden in Islam or that the shaytan might do. By the way, during the month of Ramadan the devils or shaytans are held in chains by Allah so anything that you do comes from inside you. It is something you desired to do.

Fast is broken when during the fasting period; in the day time from dawn to sunset; when eating, drinking, smoking, and/or practicing sex (oral or intercourse sex) emotionally and with desire.

Ramadhan had started on 5th March 1992 and Ended on 3rd April 1992

Praise be to Allaah.

Firstly we must note that one of the names of Allaah is al-Hakeem (the Most Wise). The word Hakeem is derived from the same root as hukm (ruling) and hikmah (wisdom). Allaah alone is the One Who issues rulings, and His rulings are the most wise and perfect.

Secondly:

Allaah does not prescribe any ruling but there is great wisdom behind it, which we may understand, or our minds may not be guided to understand it. We may know some of it but a great deal is hidden from us.

Thirdly:

Allaah has mentioned the reason and wisdom behind His enjoining of fasting upon us, as He says (interpretation of the meaning):

"O you who believe! Observing As-Sawm (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)"

[al-Baqarah 2:183]

Fasting is a means of attaining taqwa (piety, being conscious of Allaah), and taqwa means doing that which Allaah has enjoined and avoiding that which He has forbidden.

Fasting is one of the greatest means of helping a person to fulfil the commands of Islam.

The scholars (may Allaah have mercy on them) have mentioned some of the reasons why fasting is prescribed, all of which are characteristics of taqwa, but there is nothing wrong with quoting them here, to draw the attention of fasting people to them and make them keen to attain them.

Among the reasons behind fasting are:

1 - Fasting is a means that makes us appreciate and give thanks for pleasures. For fasting means giving up eating, drinking and intercourse, which are among the greatest pleasures. By giving them up for a short time, we begin to appreciate their value. Because the blessings of Allaah are not recognized, but when you abstain from them, you begin to recognize them, so this motivates you to be grateful for them.

2 - Fasting is a means of giving up haraam things, because if a person can give up halaal things in order to please Allaah and for fear of His painful torment, then he will be more likely to refrain from haraam things. So fasting is a means of avoiding the things that Allaah has forbidden.

3 - Fasting enables us to control our desires, because when a person is full his desires grow, but if he is hungry then his desire becomes weak. Hence the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "O young men! Whoever among you can afford to get married, let him do so, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and protecting one's chastity. Whoever cannot do that, let him fast, for it will be a shield for him."

4 - Fasting makes us feel compassion and empathy towards the poor, because when the fasting person tastes the pain of hunger for a while, he remembers those who are in this situation all the time, so he will hasten to do acts of kindness to them and show compassion towards them. So fasting is a means of feeling empathy with the poor.

5 - Fasting humiliates and weakens the Shaytaan; it weakens the effects of his whispers (waswaas) on a person and reduces his sins. That is because the Shaytaan "flows through the son of Adam like blood" as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, but fasting narrows the passages through which the Shaytaan flows, so his influence grows less.

Shaykh al-Islam said in Majmoo' al-Fataawa, 25/246

Undoubtedly blood is created from food and drink, so when a person eats and drinks, the passages through which the devils flow - which is the blood - become wide. But if a person fasts, the passages through which the devils flow become narrow, so hearts are motivated to do good deeds, and to give up evil deeds.

6 - The fasting person is training himself to remember that Allaah is always watching, so he gives up the things that he desires even though he is able to take them, because he knows that Allaah can see him.

7 - Fasting means developing an attitude of asceticism towards this world and its desires, and seeking that which is with Allaah.

8 - It makes the Muslim get used to doing a great deal of acts of worship, because the fasting person usually does more acts of worship and gets used to that.

These are some of the reasons why fasting is enjoined. We ask Allaah to help us to achieve them and to worship Him properly.

And Allaah knows best.

They behave kindly to others with respect. Also, they are supposed to feel pure with nothing neutral in their hearts, minds, or tongues.

Muslims believe that Laylat al-Qadr is the night in which the Qur'an was first revealed to the Prophet Muhammad and it is considered the most holy night of the year.

Laylat al-Qadr is believed to have occurred on an odd-numbered night during the last 10 days of Ramadan, either the night of the 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th or 29th.

If Laylat al-Qadr falls on the 27th day of Ramadan this year then that is why the 27th is important this year.

In the month of Ramadan there is usually a 29-30 days a year.

they change every year so i can't give u an exact answer

Some Muslim pilits choose to fast during Ramadan, and this is their choice. Generally, they will fast depending on the sunrise/sunset timing wherever the aircraft is. However, any Muslim (pilot or otherwise) can choose not to fast when traveling (and also when ill). If this is the case, they must make up for the lost days, by substituting another day in its place. For example, during Ramadan a pilot chooses not to fast for 10 of the days due to his work schedule. Once Ramadan is over, he is still requires to "make up" those days, so he needs to fast for 10 other days throughout the year. This is listed in the Hadith 2:184 "Specific days (are designated for fasting); if one is ill or traveling, an equal number of other days may be substituted. Those who can fast, but with great difficulty, may substitute feeding one poor person for each day of breaking the fast. If one volunteers (more righteous works), it is better. But fasting is the best for you, if you only knew."

Eid-Ul-Fitr shall be celebrated on Tuesday 30th August 2011 for most (people from Mirpur or anywhere around there would probably celebrate on Wednesday 31st August 2011). Eid-Ul-Adha is too long away for the date to be fixed.

P.S Eid Mubarak my Muslim brothers, sisters, aunties and uncles! Wish you all a happy Eid and a Peaceful life!

In every Muslim/Islamic country, by Muslim/Islamic people . -WRONG.

It is celebrated in all parts of the world, BY Muslim/Islamic people in their houses. (NO shoes are to touch the room) The room has mats on the floor to be sat upon and a radio to listen to the speaker, talking religious beliefs... so on. I know this because of a friend.

When the sun sets during Ramadan, Muslims break their fast and eat dinner. They then pray the last prayer of the day and go to bed.

Yes, he is. His father, as well, is a Shi'a Muslim.

The word Ramadaan is derived from the arabic word ramada which means 'heat'.Scholars explain one reason why the month in the islamic calendar

is named as such because when this month became obligatory the climate condition was extremely hot.

Ramadan as a word (رمضان) simply means "scorching sands", but it refers to a month long sunrise-sunset fast that Muslims undergo to purify themselves and atone for any sinfulness during the year.

There are no restrictionsas in what month does a Muslims wants to sing or listen to music. But the restrictions lies only in the fact that that the wordings of the music/songs shall not be against the disciplines of Islamic teachings.

First of all, fasting is a must during Ramadan.

'O you who believe, siyam (fasting) is prescribed on you as it was prescribed to those before you so that you may become self-restrained.' -Surah Baqarah (2-183)

'He who fasts during Ramadan with faith and seeks his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven; he who prays during the night in Ramadan with faith and seeks his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven; and he who passes Lailat al- Qadr in prayer with faith and seeks his reward from Allah will have his past sins forgiven.' (Bukhari and Muslim)

'But if anyone is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed period should be made up by days later. Allah intends every facility for you; He does not want to put you to difficulties.' --Surah Baqarah

So there should not be a reason that the couple is not fasting during Ramadan. The couple MAY, though, have sexual relations after the fast is opened, after sunset and before dawn the next day. This, also, is ONLY allowed if the couple is married.

During fasting hours, you give up eating, drinking, smoking (if any), and all sexual actions. You are recommended also to give up all what is forbidden, by God in Quran and by the prophet, to say or to do in your normal life days.

Yet after fasting hours, you give up nothing (except what is usually forbidden as porc and alcohol).

Revelation of Quran by God to Prophet Mohamed was in Ramadan. This month is blessed by God. Muslims who keep fasting, doing charities and good deeds, and observing God and his commands, particularly during Ramadan, receive from God blessings, forgiveness, exemption from hell punishment, and mercy. This is the reason that praying and ritual prayers, although important through all Muslim life, they are more important in Ramadan.

The fasting during Ramadan began in the year 628 C.E. Previously, Muslims fasted on 10 Ashura.

The actual month of Ramadan (without religious connotations) existed in the calendars of the Arabs in the Pre-Islamic Period.

Yes, one might say similar things as other religions, such as Happy Ramadan! or Ramadan Blessings! A common greeting is Ramadan Mubarak! or on the end of Ramadan, during Eid al-Fitr, a common greeting might be Eid Mubarak!
