Myths Of The Holy Month Of Ramzan Explained
Check out for some of the myths of the holy month of ramzan
The Holy month of Ramzan is a time of worship and piety for all the members of the Muslim community. They spend the month in fasting during the day hours. The Muslims abstain from food as a mark of their faith and piety towards their Prophet and the almighty.
This year, the month of Ramadan started on the 17th of May and will come to end on the 16th of June. The Month of Ramadan is celebrated every year during the ninth month of the lunar calendar that the Muslim community follows.
This month is considered Holy because according to the beliefs, the writing of the Holy book of Quran started in this month. This month also saw the first sermon of Prophet Muhammad.
There are a lot of myths surrounding the Holy Month of Ramzan, the ideology behind it and the way it is observed. Let us discuss some of these myths and educate ourselves.
Muslims
Do
Not
Eat
For
The
Whole
Month
Of
Ramzan
There
are
many
who
believe
that
Muslims
do
not
consume
anything
during
the
month
of
Ramzan.
This
is
a
false
notion.
Muslims
fast
from
sunrise
to
sunset.
They
have
two
meals
in
a
day
-
one
before
the
sun
rises
and
the
other
-
after
the
sun
sets.
The
meal
at
sunrise
is
called
Suhoor
and
the
meal
at
sunset
is
called
Iftar.
Fasting Is Compulsory Without Exemption
Fasting is not obligatory to every Muslim without exception. Children are exempted from fasting until they hit puberty. The sick and aged are also allowed to skip fasting. Women who are pregnant or are menstruating are not allowed to fast. The aim of the fast of Ramzan is spiritual cleansing. It must be done without harming the physical body.
One
Is
Not
Supposed
To
Even
Swallow
Saliva
While
there
are
people
who
follow
this
rule,
it
is
not
really
possible
to
completely
avoid
swallowing
one's
own
saliva.
There
is
no
rule
in
the
rituals
of
Ramzan
that
are
unattainable
or
are
impractical.
It
Is
Okay
To
Drink
Water
During
The
Fast
What
makes
the
fasting
during
the
month
of
Ramzan
so
rigorous
is
that
the
believers
do
not
drink
even
a
drop
of
water.
They
drink
water
and
consume
enough
nutrition
during
the
meals
to
help
ward
off
dehydration.
Ramzan
Begins
And
Ends
On
Set
Days
The
beginning
and
end
of
Ramzan
is
decided
by
the
sighting
of
the
first
moon,
the
day
after
the
no
moon
day.
The
slightest
sight
of
the
moon
or
the
'Eid
ka
chaand'
must
be
seen
to
start
and
end
the
fasting.
It
is
very
hard
to
predict
when
this
will
happen.
Moreover,
the
month
of
Ramzan
is
based
on
a
lunar
calendar,
which
is
different
from
the
Gregorian
calendar
that
we
normally
follow.
Based
on
this
and
the
sighting
of
the
new
moon,
the
dates
of
Ramzan
may
differ
from
year
to
year.
Even
in
the
same
year,
the
dates
may
be
different
for
various
regions
of
the
world.
Fasting
Would
Only
Mean
Abstinence
From
Food
And
Drink
It
is
not
just
food
and
drink
that
Muslims
avoid
during
the
month
of
Ramzan.
They
also
refrain
from
using
bad
language.
They
are
encouraged
not
to
gossip
or
talk
behind
others.
They
are
supposed
to
keep
a
clean
mind
for
spiritual
awakening
during
this
time.
