Determining the Beginning of Ramadan
Ramadan is the holiest month of the year for
Muslims around the World and is is observed as a time of fasting,
religious observance and many festivals that are marked as Islamic
Holidays. Ramadhan, or Ramzan as it is often known changes each year to
remain in line with the sighting of the New Moon that marks the start of
the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Although part of the Islamic
Holidays calendar, Ramadhan is not a national holiday in the UK or many
other countries in Europe and North America.
Why is Ramzan different in countries around the World
Ramadan is based upon the calendar that includes all the major
Islamic Holidays, the problem for those observing Ramadhan in different
countries is the fact the new Moon is seen at different times around the
World. Ramzan is therefore started at different times of the year in
various countries when the new moon marking the start of the ninth month
is seen. The holiest month in the calendar, many Islamic Holidays are
observed during this period, with Ramadan seeing the majority of
followers of the Muslim faith adjusting their lifestyles during this
month in a bid to observe Ramzan successfully.
Origins of Ramadhan
Ramadhan is perhaps the most important month in the calendar of
Islamic Holidays. The month of Ramadan is said to mark the time when the
Prophet Muhammad was given the Quran. Starting with the Ramzan
beginning the entire Quran is often read during Ramadan as an important
part of the Islamic Holidays. Ramzan also sees the majority of followers
of the Muslim faith fasting during the hours of daylight and attending
nightly prayer meeetings. This usually means a large number of the
feasts and festivals of Ramadhan are celebrated at night.
