Ramadan






One month fasting of Islam religion that is celebrated according to the ninth month of Islamic calendar which is followed by the people of Muslim community all over the world is Ramadan. Once a year Muslim follower observed Ramadan in which they won’t have anything after sun rises till sunset and they even do not drink water for the whole day unless they child, old, ill and so on. Fasting is their way of giving gratitude to Allah and even to mankind who might have to go through struggle without having food in their life. Ramadan is one of the important festivals among Muslim just like other festivals. Muslim believes that during Ramadan, their sacred book Quran was revealed to Prophet Mohammad which has given give important to Ramadan.

 

Ramadan 2023 has started from 23rd of March to 23rd of April as it last for 30 days. For 30 days Muslim followers continues their fasting in a same way and fasting ends after a month after they celebrate Eid- Al-Fitr. Eid- AI- Fitr is also known as ‘’festival of breaking the fast’’ as it symbolized the end of Ramadan. In most of the Muslim countries different holidays are given to the workers so that they won’t feel uneasy while working. Ramadan is the month of fasting as well as the moment to enjoy with families, friends and relatives.  

 

 

 

 

 In Ramadan two dishes are eaten that is – Suhoor and iftar where Suhoor is the dish that they have before sunrise and iftar is the dinner dish that they have during Ramadan. In most of the family in middle east dinner table full of foods like Flatbread, kebab, dolma, salad, dates, sweets, Turkish cuisine and dates is one of the needed varieties for Iftar. Turkish cuisine is taken as one of the delicious cuisines over the world and once one gets used to Turkish food it’s becomes their first preference. Ramadan fasting is observed in the day time without having water as well so before sunrises they had foods that provide protein, fiber, fruits, drinks and vegetable to remain hydrated for the whole day and they don’t have to perform heavy work and they can’t even have cigarette and chewing gum on day time or we could say while they are on fast. Fasting is not compulsory for children, old age people, pregnant woman, sick and those who are travelling. 

 

 

Hence, Muslim followers are highly devoted towards Allah and Ramadan is one of the ways to express their sincerity and gratitude for Allah. Through fasting they want their prayers reaches to their god. Fasting for a whole month seems difficult but they observed it wholeheartedly which is a great thing that one can do. Ramadan Mubarak to all the people of Muslim community.
