What is the similarity between Ramadan and lent?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are no obvious similarities between Hanukkah and Ramadan besides for the coincidence that Ramadan is the ninth month on the Muslim calendar and Hanukkah happens during the 9th month (called Kislev) on the Jewish calendar. Hanukkah is an eight-day minorJewish festival occurring in December during which Jews light candles every evening. Some extra prayers are added to the daily prayers. It's customary to eat certain foods. Ramadan is the Holiest Muslim monthduring which Muslims fast all month during the day. It happens every 12 lunar months and therefor can fall out anytime during the year; each year it starts about 11 days earlier than the previous year (on the "solar" calendar.)

Why doesn't Ramadan fall at the same time every year?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Muslim calendar is based on the lunar calendar and it does not have any leap years. The Lunar calendar is shorter than the Solar calendar and therefore the Muslim calendar falls out at a different point in the Solar calendar every year.

Does everyone have to fast during Ramadan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, assuming that we are talking exclusively about Muslims, but there are exceptions. The Muslim female that has her 'period' or menstruation cycle cannot fast until it's over and she has showered along with going back into the religion of Islam. The really sick doesn't need to nor does the one traveling where they might not know day from night. Non-Muslims do not have to fast during Ramadan, because it is not their tradition, but in Muslim-majority countries, they should abstain from eating in public.

Is it compulsory for women to pray Taraweeh?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Praying Taraweeh is compulsory neither for women nor for men. It is voluntary praying hoping to bring us closer to Allah (God in English) and wishing to be rewarded on by His forgiveness, satifaction, accepting us in His Paradise, and saving us from the Hell Fire. It is your choice, as a man or as a woman:

  • to do it or not,

Do Muslims fast on the weekends during Ramadan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm not quite sure what you mean, when one fasts, they fast for ONE day.

Usually, one would wake up before sunrise, have breakfast, and then not eat or drink anything for the entire day until sunset of the SAME DAY.

For example, I'll wake up before sunrise, around 5 AM, have a big breakfast on a Saturday morning. Then not eat/drink for the whole Saturday. Then, at say sunset is at 7 PM, at that time I'll break my fast by having a meal.

There is no connection between days. If I start fasting on Saturday, I end my fast on Saturday. I would fast again on Sunday/Monday/Tuesday etc. in the same manner.

I hope I answered your question.
