Ramadan kareem 2023

As the Islamic holy month approaches in 2023, there are many ways you can support your friends, family and co-workers who are observing the fast.

While it likely wouldn't cause offence to ask someone this question, many muslims practicing Ramadan have likely been asked this question dozens of times before. Pictured: Muslims sharing a meal after prayer on Eid al-Fitr to mark the end of Ramadan in May 2022 in Basra, Iraq How do I wish someone a happy Ramadan? Observing the period of Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam and fasting is intended to strengthen "taqwa", which can be translated as God consciousness. When the end of the fasting month is reached and Eid approaches, the greeting changes to 'Eid mubarak', which means 'blessed Eid'. Here are the ways you can wish people a happy Ramadan, plus the things you should avoid saying to someone fasting during the month...

The first meal must be eaten before dawn and is called suhur, and the evening feast is called iftar. Ever since the Prophet Muhammad broke his fast with dates ...

The arrival of the month of Ramadan brings with it one of the most important and special events, both real and symbolic, for a Muslim: Laylat al-Qadar, The Night of Decree. Whatever Ramadan participants have planned for their traditional gatherings, both suhur and iftar, the spirit of this centuries-old tradition will remain the same: a time for self-reflection. It is the night on which Muhammad received the first revelation of the Quran, and thus began his mission as a prophet and messenger of Allah. On 23 March 2023, the crescent can be seen in all countries of the world. The annual observance of Ramadan is considered to be one of the Five Pillars of Islam (profession of faith, prayer, fasting, and pilgrimage to Mecca) and lasts 29 to 30 days, from the crescent moon until the next crescent moon. Ever since the Prophet Muhammad broke his fast with dates and a glass of water, Muslims have eaten dates at both suhur and iftar.
