Holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan is a holy holiday for Muslims. Good deeds during the month of Ramadan

Muslims are preparing for the most important and responsible month for them. Ramadan this year will begin on May 27 for most believers. It will last 30 days. It is believed that the Holy Quran was written in the ninth month of the lunar calendar. This is the time when a Muslim should spend in prayer and restrictions, which are important for rethinking life, cleansing the soul and body.

Observing Ramadan is the religious duty of a Muslim; it is believed that fasting can cleanse a person of vices and passions. It helps control negative emotions and qualities such as anger, greed, hatred. It must be observed by all adults; exceptions exist for the elderly, pregnant women and nursing mothers, patients who are forced to take medications, and travelers whom the fast finds outside their home (a distance of at least 100 km). However, they subsequently need to make up for all the days of fasting.

Ramadan is a month of obligatory fasting and daily prayers, which are counted by Allah. During this month, it is important to do good deeds, sacrifice, pray: five daily prayers (namaz), fasting during Ramadan (eid), the Tarawih prayer, sincere dua, evening prayer (iftar). It is important to observe a number of restrictions: refuse daytime meals, you can eat after sunset - a pre-dawn meal (suhoor), it is forbidden to take pea-sized medications, drink water, have sexual intercourse: you should give up any drinking and smoking.

The fast is not considered broken if...

A Muslim ate or drank something during the day, but did it out of forgetfulness, by accident... “Allah fed him,” if he did it intentionally, then he must atone for his guilt: keep a strict fast for two months or feed 60 poor people.

During the day, it is allowed to taste food and chew food for the child.

Everything that is introduced into a person is prohibited, therefore the following actions require atonement:

Fasting during menstruation...

It is a sin to observe fasting by a non-Muslim, an apostate, or a woman during menstruation or postpartum purification.

In hot weather, it is better to take a shower, or even better to dry yourself with a wet towel.

Muslims are not recommended to use toothpaste. Teeth are cleaned using siwak (a toothpick made from the branches and roots of this tree), it has a strong smell and freshens breath.

These are any objects that distract the mind from the remembrance of Allah, including the wife of a Muslim and, naturally, other women.

Unnecessary disputes, unnecessary conversations, lies, slander, oaths, jokes...

Lent is a time of restrictions...
