I started Ramadan today here in europe. I think most of my iftar will be Makaroni (i am good in doing it, any way its easy). I think i will leave the forum for a while (hatta isha'ar akhar) i must study alot alot alot. Happy Ramadan for all. Salam
Assalamu alaikum
How fasting? May Allah accept our worships.
Here in my country, there are lots of speculations and misconceptions regarding the view of this month. Some say it'll start today (saturday) while some say yesterday. So, I don't know when our other bro. and sis.living in US,UK,INDIA,etc start theirs.
Can every country start fasting in the same day? Is that really possible? What about the saying that the globe is revolving. I'm a bit confuse. I don't know when to exactly start. But we start also today.
Hi, muhsin. I'm not a Muslim, but my Muslim friends will start fasting tomorrow (Sunday, September 24th). We're Indonesians and that day is as advised by the related departement of Indonesian authority (not sure what's the English term for it). And I don't know how the decision was made.
Happy fasting!
The way it works is that the moon needs to be seen by the visable eye. The problem is that people dont agree on the start. but it is technically possible for everyone to start on the same day it just never happens although Im of the opion we should all ( especially when it comes to dul hija just follow mecca and be done with it, but Im not the correct authority :D
Ramadan is tomorrow for us in Egypt...Sunday..
And finally I'll get to fast and pray el taraweeh...YAY!!
I wonder why Egypt is probably the ONLY country in the arabic world that has Ramadan one day delayed...instead of saturday it's sunday...
Anyways..happy Ramadan everybody...
Rabena yatakabal isa
its not nossa its everything west of egypt as well is sunday.
I thought that Libeya was having Ramadan today, saturday? as well asl Sudan...
Dunnow..
But I'm still SOOOOOOOO happy that Ramadan is finally here...and I prayed the Taraweeh today already..
Don't you just LOVE the spirit of this month?
yeah, what a destinguished spirit for this month. do you all have the same feelings of dispear and sadness when this month draws to close?though Eid Alfiter supposed to be for enjoyment and eating I still prefer Ramadan and the feeling of losing Ramadan overwhelm the happiness of the Eid.
I totally agree...I feel blue and I get depressed most of the time in the last week of Ramadan...It's like you miss the month already before it's gone..
I was wondering what is the significance of sighting the moon, and then starting Ramzan, or why this particular month.
Is there a link in which one can read more about Islam?
I believe you guys must be midway through Ramzan. Happy fasting!
Ramza or Ramadan our great Madhuri?:)Quote:

Muslims's calendar is a lunar calendar, which means that a new month begins with the sighting of the new moon. Ramadan is the ninth month of the muslim calendar, and it is in this month that the revelation of the holy Qur'an began. The importance of Ramadan is illustrated in many verses of the Qur'an and in the hadith. It is believed that in Ramadan Allah s.v.t is most merciful and most forgiving. The first 10 days of Ramadan are the time of Allah's mercy, the second 10 days are considered the time of forgiveness, and the last 10 days are the days of protecting oneself from hell fire. In the last ten days there is also a very important night (Laylat'ul Kadr) which is the night when the revelation of the holy Qur'an began. It is the most holy night in the muslim calendar, and we believe that Allah s.v.t is closest to us during that night. The whole night is usually spent in prayer.Quote:

Because Muslims calculate their days based on the lunar calendar, each month starts with the sighting of the new moon and each new day with the sunset/emerging of the moon. Therefore, the start of the month of Ramadan is determined the same way. Muslims wait to see the new moon to determine whether the new month (Ramadan) has started, and if it is seen, they start fasting the following morning. Today, we can calculate the time of the new moon in advance, so it is not necessary to wait until the it can be seen with the naked eye. However, some muslims keep this tradition and gather together to anticipate the sighting of the moon because of the excitement that Ramadan brings.
Thanks for the links. :)Quote:
