Fasting During the Month of Ramadan
During the month of Ramadan, all Muslims around the world fast for 30 days. They eat the “Sahar” meal before the dawn prayer, which is called Fajr. After that, they pray Fajr prayer. They do things like reciting the Quran, praising God, and doing good deeds throughout the day. When the time comes, which is called Maghrib, they break their fast and eat. They fast in the same way throughout the month of Ramadan.

About Ramadan in the Quran – True Story
O you who believe! Fasting is obligatory upon you, just as fasting was prescribed for those before you. By fasting, you may become pure. (Al-Quran 2:183)
Fasting, which can be called a fast of silence, was prescribed for those before you. But Islamic scholars have explained this by saying that fasting is obligatory for people who come after them. This verse in the Quran is the reason why Muslims fast.
Who can Break the Fast
Fasting in Ramadan is obligatory for everyone. But there are conditions for some people to break the fast. The sick, pregnant women, women who are breastfeeding, those who are traveling, the elderly who are unable to fast, and those who are seriously ill are allowed to break the fast during the month of Ramadan. When the traveler returns home and the patient recovers from his illness, he must make up the missed fasts. Others should feed a poor person every day in lieu of the missed fast. This is a remedy that those who break the fast can do.
When will Eid ul Fitr Come in Ramadan
After the month of Ramadan ends, they look for the crescent in the sky. Once the crescent is sighted, the Eid ul Fitr prayer is held the next morning (Time -6 AM to 11 AM). Sighting the crescent moon is mandatory in Islam for fasting the month of Ramadan and for the end of the month of Ramadan. They start fasting only after seeing the crescent moon and break their fast only after seeing the crescent moon. This is what Islam emphasizes.
Laylatul Qadr Night in the Month of Ramadan
The month of Ramadan is a very special month for Muslims. Because it was in that month that the Quran, the holy book of Muslims, was revealed from the sky. That too was revealed in one night. Muslims say that the night on which the Quran was revealed is the night of “Laylatul Qadr“. The 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, and 29th of the month of Ramadan are the days of Laylatul Qadr. Especially on the 27th night of the month of Ramadan, all Muslims gather together and celebrate Laylatul Qadr. There are many special things about this night in Islam. This night also has a name “a night better than a thousand months“.
Taraweeh Prayer of the Month of Ramadan
In the holy month of Ramadan, after the Isha prayer, the “Taraweeh” prayer is performed at night. This means resting and worshiping in peace. In some countries, this prayer is performed at dawn. This prayer is performed only at night during the month of Ramadan. In other months, this prayer is not performed. In this prayer, the entire Quran, the divine book of Muslims, is read in 30 days. This is a very special prayer.
We ask Muslims who are waiting for Ramadan to welcome Ramadan by fasting for 30 days, praying to God, doing good deeds, and praying for the people of the world!
