Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr - what kind of holiday? Celebration traditions, schedule, calendar, what is prohibited. Suhoor and iftar (morning and evening meals) Ramadan fasting calendar

One of the months of the Islamic calendar is called Ramadan, which is translated from Arabic as "hot". This is true, because it is at this time that the sun is at its zenith. But not only the location of the daylight predetermined the name of Ramadan - in this month, all Muslims adhere to a strict fast, which bears the name of the same name with the ninth calendar month.

When does Ramadan start in 2017

Due to the difference in calendars, the beginning of the sacred period changes every year. In 2017 Ramadan falls between May 27th and June 25th. Fasting begins with the first dawn and ends after the appearance of the first evening star.

First of all, Ramadan 2017 (or Ramadan) is a fast on the holy 9th month, which is considered mandatory for all Muslims and is of a special nature. It belongs to the five sacred pillars of the Islamic faith:

Shahada is a declaration of faith. The promise of a Muslim to recognize only his faith and honor the laws of his people.
Namaz is the five daily obligatory prayers.
Uraza is the name of the fast during the holy month of Ramadan.
Zakat is obligatory alms to be given to those in need.
Hajj is a pilgrimage to Mecca.

During one of the most difficult months of the year (Ramadan - the hottest month), Muslims adhere to a very strict fast, which, they assure, helps to pacify worldly desires, become more spiritual and close to God - Allah.

How to observe a Muslim fast

Food

Throughout the month, Muslims eat twice a day: in the morning and in the evening. The morning meal is called suhoor. It must be completed before dawn. Suhoor consists of fruits or dairy products. After eating, there is a mandatory morning prayer - fajra. The second meal is taken after the evening Maghrib prayer. It is believed that during this period it is best to dine with dates.

Physical prohibitions

During fasting, it is forbidden to have sexual intercourse, eat or drink outside the allotted time for this, smoke, including hookah, drink alcohol and take drugs, and induce vomiting.

Moral prohibitions

Ramadan means purification of the soul and body. Therefore, a number of prohibitions touched the moral side of the life of every Muslim. During Ramadan, it is forbidden to lie, slander, swear, harbor anger, and swear. You can not skip the time of prayers and do not make alms.

Who is exempt from fasting Ramadan

Only those people who, for physical reasons, cannot bear it, do not fast: pregnant and lactating women, small children, the elderly, suffering from serious illnesses, mentally ill people and wanderers. If Ramadan was not observed on time, it should be held in another month, when the state of health allows it.

Every Islamic month lunar calendar begins the day after the new moon. The lunar calendar is shorter than the Gregorian calendar, so every year the start date of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan shifts by about 10-11 days relative to the modern calendar.

Ramadan fasting schedule by day

In post Ramadan, the food calendar will be as follows. Starting from April 24 - the beginning of fasting in 2020 - until its end on May 23, from dawn to sunset, Muslims will not be allowed to eat or even drink water.

Eating and drinking, except for alcohol, is possible only at night. In addition, during fasting it is forbidden to smoke, take medicine; you can not lie, slander someone, swear.

In Urazu, the fasting schedule does not change from day to day. At the right time, you can include in the diet all the foods that are allowed by Islam. Halal (permissible) products include products that do not contain parts of pig carcasses, and the slaughter of animals must be carried out in accordance with the prescriptions of Islam.

Every day you need to finish breakfast half an hour before dawn (shuruk - sunrise). The morning meal, called suhoor, may include fruit or dairy products. After eating, there is an obligatory morning prayer - Fajr.

Then believers should abstain from food and drink, and intimacy in marriage until full sunset. The next meal (iftar) takes place after the evening Maghrib prayer. It is believed that at this time it is best to include dates in the diet.

The most important for believers are the ten days at the end of the fast of Ramadan in 2020 - according to the calendar, from May 14 to May 23. At the same time, Muslims honor the memory of the Prophet Muhammad, who retired for ten days in a mosque.

It is believed that after the end of this period, a person is renewed and receives the blessing of Allah if he performs all the prayers prescribed by Islam.

In Urazu, the fasting schedule is common to everyone. However, people suffering from various diseases, the elderly, travelers, pregnant and lactating women, as well as women during menstruation and in the period after childbirth.

Subsequently, they should make up for all the missed days of fasting. Elderly and terminally ill people should be given alms for each missed day, enough to feed one person.

We also recall that in the post of Ramadan in 2020, the food calendar should correspond to the geographical area where the person lives. Indeed, for different regions of the planet, the time of sunrise and sunset will be different and, accordingly, the schedule of fasting by day will be different.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar in which Holy Quran, in 2018 in most Muslim countries will begin on May 17.

For Muslims, this is the holy month of fasting and spiritual purification, it is the most important and significant of all periods of the year.

With the advent of Ramadan, each devout Muslim must begin fasting, as well as perform a number of necessary preparations and religious rites.

Meaning and Essence of Fasting

Holy fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam, which must be observed without fail from morning prayer to evening prayer. In Islam, this type of worship is intended to bring believers closer to Allah. When the Prophet Muhammad was asked: "What is the best business?" He replied, "Fasting, for nothing compares to it."

Fasting is not only abstinence from food and drink, but also abstinence from sins, so the essence of fasting is to cleanse a person from vices and passions. Refusal of vicious desires during the month of Ramadan helps a person to refrain from committing everything forbidden, which in the future will lead him to purity of actions not only during fasting, but throughout his life.

So, the essence of Ramadan is the upbringing of God-fearing in a person, which keeps a person from any obscene deed.

The righteous believe that fasting, in addition to abstaining from food, drink and passion, also includes the abstention of body parts from everything obscene, since without this fasting will be ruined and the reward will be cancelled.

Fasting also helps a person control negative emotions and qualities, such as anger, greed, hatred. The essence of fasting is that it helps a person to fight the passions that overwhelm him and control his desires.

Ramadan in 2018 begins on May 17 at sunset and ends on June 15 in the evening, after which the Eid al-Fitr holiday will begin (the Turkic name is Eid al-Fitr).

Ramadan, in different Muslim countries, may begin at different time, and it depends on how astronomical calculation or direct observation of the phases of the moon.

How to fast

Fasting begins at dawn and ends after sunset. During the month of Ramadan, devout Muslims refuse to eat during the day.

In Islam, there are two nightly meals: suhoor - pre-dawn and iftar - evening. It is advisable to finish Suhoor at least half an hour before dawn, but iftar should begin immediately after the evening prayer.

According to the Quran, the best food for breaking the fast at night is water and dates. Skipping suhoor and iftar is not a violation of the fast, but observance of these meals is encouraged by an additional reward.

Suhoor

The following words of the Prophet Muhammad testify to the importance of the morning meal: "Eat food before dawn on the days of fasting! Verily, in the suhoor - God's grace (barakat)!"

Throughout Ramadan, Muslims spend their morning meal before dawn. They believe that Allah will greatly reward such an action. During the traditional suhoor, you should not overeat, but you should eat enough food. Suhoor gives strength for the whole day.

Iftar

Evening meals should be started immediately after sunset, that is, after the last daily prayer (or the fourth, penultimate prayer on that day).

Iftar is followed by Isha, the night prayer of Muslims (the last of the five obligatory daily prayers). It is not recommended to postpone iftar, as it will be bad for the body.

In order not to overload the stomach in a few hours of a summer night and at the same time recharge your batteries for a long hungry day, it is not recommended to immediately drink water with food, diluting gastric juice. You need to drink about an hour later, when you feel thirsty.

What you can and can not eat in the post of Ramadan

During suhoor, doctors recommend eating complex carbohydrates - cereal dishes, sprouted grain bread, vegetable salad. Complex carbohydrates provide the body with energy, despite the fact that they are digested for a long time. Dried fruits - dates, nuts - almonds and fruits - bananas are also suitable.

Protein food should be discarded in the morning - it takes a long time to digest, but loads the liver, which works without interruption during fasting. You shouldn't drink coffee. In the morning, you can not eat fried, smoked, fatty foods - they will cause an extra load on the liver and kidneys. In the morning, you should also give up fish - after it you will want to drink.

During iftar, you can eat meat and vegetable dishes, cereal dishes, in a small amount of sweetness, which can be replaced with dates or fruits. You need to drink a lot of water. You can also drink juice, fruit drink, compote, tea and jelly.

In the evening, it is not advisable to take fatty and fried foods. It will harm health - cause heartburn, deposit extra pounds. Exclude foods from evening meals fast food- various cereals in bags or noodles, as they will not saturate and in just an hour or two you will want to eat again. In addition, such products will cause appetite even more, as they contain salt and other spices.

It is better to exclude sausages and sausages from the diet during the Ramadan fast. Sausages affect the kidneys and liver, satisfy hunger for only a few hours, and are also able to develop thirst.

Children, sick people, pregnant and lactating women, travelers, warriors and the elderly who are physically unable to fast are exempted from Ramadan. But it is obligatory to compensate for fasting in another, more favorable period.

Month of patience and education of the spirit

Fasting is not only abstaining from food, drink and sexual intercourse from the beginning of the morning dawn until sunset, but also spiritual purification. A Muslim fasting in the month of Ramadan educates his spirit and learns to be patient by resisting base desires and refraining from evil words and deeds.

It is important to perform the five times daily prayer (prayer) on time, which mainly consists of reciting the verses of the Qur'an and glorifying God at the same time as taking various postures.

The five periods of time in which worship should be performed correspond to the five parts of the day and the distribution various kinds human activities: dawn, noon, afternoon, late afternoon and night.

With the onset of Ramadan, it is customary for Muslims to congratulate each other in words or in the form of postcards, because this particular holiday is the moment of the birth of the holy book of the Koran, which plays a special role in the life of every believer.

Material prepared on the basis of open sources

Fasting is abstinence from food, drink and sexual intercourse from dawn to dusk in the month of Ramadan, obligatory for every adult and reasonable person from among the believers.

Fasting has 3 obligatory (fard) actions:

1. Intention.

2. Abstinence from food and drink.

3. Abstinence from sexual intimacy.

Having eaten before dawn, it is desirable (mustahab) to reaffirm in your heart the intention to fast. It is important that the intention is affirmed at least one hour before the time of the noon prayer. The affirmation in the heart of the intention of fasting is sufficient. If a fasting person, without uttering the appropriate words, intends to fast in his heart the next day, his fast will be correct. We are encouraged to express intent by saying the following words:

Nawaitu 'an 'asuma savma shakhri Ramadani mina-l-faҗri 'ila-l-maghribi khalisan li-llahi ta'ala.

For the sake of Allah Almighty, I sincerely intended to fast the month of Ramadan from dawn to dusk.

Breaking the fast (iftar) after sunset with salt, a piece of food or water is sunnah. Breaking the fast with dates is also encouraged.

After iftar, the following du'a is read:

Allahhumma laka sumtu wa-bika 'amantu wa-'alaika tawakkaltu wa-'ala rizkika 'aftartu fa-gfir li ya gaffar ma kaddamtu wa ma 'akhhartu.

O Allah, only for Your sake I fasted, I believed in You, I relied on You and broke my fast with Your food. O Forgiving One, forgive my past and future sins.

It is sunnah for a fasting Muslim to:

1. Eating before dawn (suhoor).

2. The intention to abstain from sins during fasting.

3. Reading religious books in your free time.

4. Immediately after sunset, having performed the evening prayer, proceed to breaking the fast (iftar).

During the day, during fasting, the following actions are blamed (makruh):

1. To idle talk.

2. Swearing.

3. Quarrel with someone.

4. Stay in the bath for a long time.

5. Dive and swim in the water.

6. Chew food or gum.

7. Try something with your tongue.

8. Kiss your wife.

9. Hold the fast without breaking the fast for 2 days in a row.

10. Commit any sin.

During the fast, you can do the following 10 actions:

1. Taste the purchased product.

2. Chew food for the baby.

3. Apply antimony to the eyes.

4. Oil mustache or beard.

5. Brush your teeth with a siwak.

6. Do bloodletting.

7. Treat with leeches.

8. Perform a full ablution with a jug.

9. Sweat while in the bath.

10. Wash with soap.

The fast is broken by the following 3 actions:

1. Swallowing a pea-sized food or medicine.

2. Swallowing one drop of water or medicine.

3. Sexual intimacy.

A person who violates the Ramadan fast of his own free will is obliged to make up for all the missed days of fasting and perform expiatory actions (kaffarat) for his violation.

As a kaffarat of the post, he must free one slave. If it is impossible to find a slave or the means do not allow to buy one, then one should fast for 60 days in a row. If, due to weakness, a believer does not have enough strength to fast for 60 days, then he must feed 60 poor people to their fill.

The fast of a believer is violated in cases where:

1. He will voluntarily cause himself to vomit in an amount that fills his mouth.

2. He will have a pre-dawn meal (suhoor, thinking that the dawn has not yet come, while it is already dawn.

3. He will start breaking the fast (iftar), thinking that the sun has set, while it has not yet disappeared below the horizon.

4. He will ejaculate from hugging his wife (without sexual intercourse).

In such cases, the fasting person must make up for the broken days of fasting after Ramadan without committing kaffarat.

If a person’s fast is broken during the day, then he should not eat or drink, like a fasting person, until sunset.

The fast of a believer is not violated in the following cases: if dust, earth, wool or smoke gets into his throat; if he swallows his saliva or the rest of the food stuck between his teeth; if he, forgetting about fasting, eats, drinks or has sexual intercourse; if he ejaculates without sexual intercourse.

Women during menstruation and postpartum bleeding do not need to fast. The days of fasting missed in Ramadan must be made up after it.

Weak old man who is not able to fast, instead of each day of fasting, should feed the poor or give him enough money so that he can eat his fill.

If pregnant and breastfeeding women are afraid of harming their health or the health of their child, and if the sick are afraid of health complications due to fasting, then it would be right for them not to fast. All of them must make up for the missed days of fasting after Ramadan.

It is preferable for traveling people not to fast. After returning from a trip, they will need to make up for the missed days of fasting. It is wrong to break the fast for a person who set out on the road after dawn. If he violates it, then he will have to make up the post.

For a non-fasting traveler who has arrived from a trip home in the afternoon, it is encouraged to abstain from food and nutrition until sunset, as a fasting person.

A person who has not made up for the missed days of fasting due to illness must leave a testament to the heirs that they distribute fidya alms for the remaining days after him. If the person who left such a will dies, then his heirs will have to give fidya alms in the amount of 1/3 of his property.

Observe the fast on Monday, Thursday, the days of 'Ashura (10th of the month of Muharram), bara'at (15th of the month of Sha'ban), 'Arafah (9th of Zu-l-hiҗҗa), in the first week months of Zu-l-hiҗҗa and Muharram and on the 3rd day of the full moon of each lunar month is a desirable (mustahab) action for which the fasting person receives a large reward.

It is wrong to break an additional fast, it is necessary (wajib) to make up for it after. It is possible to break an additional fast due to the arrival of guests or an invitation to visit before the time of midday prayer, but it is wrong to break it after this time.

It is reprehensible (makruh) to fast on the days of the holidays of breaking the fast (Uraza Bayram, 'Eid al-fitr) and sacrifices (Kurban, 'Eid al-adha), on 3 days of Tashrik (11th, 12th and 13th of the month Zu-l-khiҗҗa) or only on Fridays and Saturdays.

If on the 30th of the month of Shaban the month does not appear after sunset, then fasting on the 30th of the month until lunch time, waiting for the news of the appearance of the month, is encouraging (mustahab). When the month is announced, fasting begins. If the news of the appearance of the month does not come, then the fast should be broken.

If the month does not appear on the 29th of Shaban, then fasting on the 30th of Shaban, considering it as the beginning of Ramadan, is condemned. It is correct to fast on this day with the intention of performing an additional fast.

If at sunset there are no clouds or dust at the place where the month rises, then in order to determine the beginning of the months of Ramadan and Shawwal, it is necessary that as many people as possible see the month. The testimonies of two or three people in this case are not reliable.

If clouds, steam or dust cover the place of the moon's rising, then the testimony of one credible person - be it a man or a woman - about the appearance of the month is enough to determine the beginning of Ramaanna. The next day, Ramaann should be fasted.

To determine the beginning of the month of Shawwal, a certificate of the appearance of a new month of two trustworthy men or one trustworthy man and two trustworthy women is accepted. Fitr should be performed the next morning.

An adult and reasonable Muslim, who is wary of committing major sins, is considered a trustworthy person.

The month of Ramadan is the most honorable and important of the 12 months of the lunar calendar, according to which Muslims around the world live.

When does fasting start and how long does it last?

Ramadan (another name is Ramadan) is the ninth month of the Muslim lunar calendar, which is 10 or 11 days less than the solar year. For this reason, the days of Muslim religious holidays are shifted from the Gregorian calendar each year.

Accordingly, Ramadan, which lasts from 29 to 30 days, depending on the lunar calendar, falls on different dates every year. In 2017, Ramadan lasts 30 days.

At the Moscow cathedral mosque during the Muslim holiday of Ramadan, according to the Muslim calendar, days begin at sunset, and not at midnight, as in the Gregorian calendar.

Ramadan in 2017 begins on the evening of May 26 with sunset and ends on the evening of June 25, 2017, after which the Eid al-Fitr holiday (the Turkic name is Eid al-Fitr) will begin.

At the same time, in different Muslim countries, Ramadan can begin at different times, and this depends on the method of astronomical calculation or direct observation of the phases of the moon.

Ramadan is translated from Arabic as "hot", "scorching heat". Every devout Muslim this month proves the strength of his faith, thanks to the complete rejection of the simplest human needs during hot days. The faithful during this period must be freed from various thoughts that can defile a person.

Mosque of Hassan II in CasablancaMuslims believe that the spiritual and physical fasting of Ramadan can significantly improve the state of the human spirit. In the Turkic languages, this post is called uraza.

Fasting in Ramadan

During the entire month of Ramadan, Muslims are required to observe a number of strict rules, one of which is fasting, the purpose of which is to rethink life, cleanse the soul and body.

During fasting, you should pray a lot and confirm daily your intention (niyat) to participate in this holiday in the name of Allah. You should also refrain from evil thoughts and intentions, beware of discrediting deeds and impious people.

Fasting begins at dawn and ends after sunset.

During Ramadan, Muslims refrain from eating and drinking during daylight hours, smoking, including hookah or other mixtures, and intimacy.

The Kul-Sharif Mosque in Kazan It is considered a violation of the fast to swallow any liquid, including water during bathing, as well as skipping niyat. At the same time, blood donation, bathing, kissing, and the introduction of drugs through injections are allowed.

The main meaning of such a fast is to strengthen the faith of every believing Muslim, as well as determine life values and, of course, enrich yourself spiritually through daily prayer, as well as refraining from temptations. Practice shows that fasting has a healing effect on the body.

Ramadan is one of the pillars of Islam. It is obligatory for every adult Muslim to observe it. The exceptions are children, sick people, pregnant and lactating women, travelers, warriors and the elderly who are physically unable to fast. But it is obligatory to compensate for fasting in another, more favorable period.

If a Muslim has broken the fast, then he must pay the needy a certain amount of money or food, thus replenishing the fast.

With the onset of Ramadan, it is customary for Muslims to congratulate each other in words or in the form of postcards, because it was this holiday that laid the foundation for the birth of the holy book of the Koran, which plays a special role in the life of every believer.

Pilgrims in Mecca Ramadan is a time to earn eternal Paradise, when many deeds can be worthy of a great reward. These include fasting, five prayers, the Tarawih prayer, sincere supplication-du "a, iftar (breaking the fast), pre-dawn meal (sahur), donations and many other good deeds and deeds.

When was the Quran sent down

The first revelation of the Qur'an was sent down on the night of Laylat-al-Qadr or the Night of Power and Predestination. This is the most important night of the year for every Muslim.

Muhammad, when his prophetic mission began, was 40 years old.

Before the revelation of the Qur'an, the Prophet Mohammed often retired and prayed in the cave of Hira near Mecca, where the first sura of the Qur'an was revealed to him in 610.

By the order of Allah, one of the angels, Jabrail, came to the Prophet Muhammad and said to Him: “Read.” The word "read" means "Quran". With these words, the sending down of the Koran began - that night the angel Jabrail transmitted the first five verses from the Sura Clot.

The revealed QuranThe mission lasted until the death of Muhammad - the Great Quran was sent down to the prophet for 23 years.

According to sources, Laylat al-Qadr is the night when angels descend to earth and the prayer recited on this night is much more powerful than all the prayers in the year.

In the Quran, this Night is dedicated to the whole sura “Inna anzalnagu”, which says that the Night of Power is better than a thousand months in which it is not. This is the night when the fate of each person is predetermined in heaven, his life path, difficulties and trials to be passed, and if you spend this night in prayers, in understanding your deeds and possible mistakes, then Allah will forgive him his sins and be merciful.

Regarding the date of the night of Predestination, the Qur'an says that it falls on one of the last 10 nights of Ramadan. Therefore, it is considered most correct to dedicate all the last 10 nights of Ramadan to prayers. Some sources indicate that Laylat al-Qadr falls on the 27th of Ramadan, that is, on the night of June 21-22.

Tbilisi MosqueRespect for the ninth month of the lunar calendar is repeatedly mentioned in the Koran. Muslims call the fast "mubarak", that is, blessed. It is believed that the value of a good deed performed at this time increases several hundred times.

For example, a small pilgrimage (umrah) is equivalent in value to the hajj (visiting Mecca), and voluntary prayer is rewarded in the same way as mandatory. Ramadan received a special status in 622.

What is celebrated after the fast of Ramadan

Ramadan ends with the second most important holiday - Eid al Fitr or the so-called Feast of Conversation. The holiday comes after sunset on the last day of Ramadan and lasts for three days.

The Feast of Conversation begins on the first day of the month of Shawwal, which comes at the end of the holy Ramadan. In 2017, Eid al Fitr will be celebrated from 26 to 28 June.

The holiday begins with the onset of evening prayer time - from this time it is advisable for all Muslims to read the takbir (the formula for exalting Allah). Takbir is read before committing holiday prayer on the day of the holiday.

Tbilisi mosque in the historical center of the Georgian capital

Muslims at this time should indulge in reflection on spiritual values and rethink life during the period of fasting. This day is considered a holiday of salvation from hell, as well as a day of reconciliation, love and friendly handshakes. On this day, it is customary to visit the destitute and take care of the elderly.

It is advisable to spend the night of the holiday in vigil, in the all-night service to Allah. On the day of the holiday, it is advisable to put on clean clothes, put a silver ring on your finger, perfume yourself with incense and, after eating a little, go to the mosque early to perform the holiday prayer.

On this day, Muslims distribute alms to those in need, congratulate each other and wish the Almighty to accept fasting, visit relatives, neighbors, acquaintances, friends, receive guests.
