BAKU /Trend Life/ - We present to the readers of Trend Life the calendar for the month of Ramadan 2016 for the territory of Azerbaijan, published on the official website of the Caucasus Muslims Office (UMK). The calendar is compiled based on calculations by the Shamakhi Astrophysical Observatory (SAO) of the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences (ANAS).

According to the fatwa of the Council of Kazis and the Scientific and Religious Council of the UMC, June 7 is the first day of the month of Ramadan. The nights of Laylat al-Ghadr will fall from the 18th to the 19th, from the 20th to the 21st, from the 22nd to the 23rd, from the 26th to the 27th days of the month of Ramadan. Ramadan will be celebrated on the first day of the Muslim month of Shawwal - July 6. On the same day, festive prayers will be performed in mosques in Azerbaijan.

The Caucasus Muslims Office calls on everyone to be patient during the month of Ramadan and perform charitable deeds in the name of Allah. Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims and is called the Crown of the Year, Shahrullah (the month of Allah) and Ziyafatullah (the feast of Allah). It was during this month that the Holy Quran began to descend upon the Prophet Muhammad (CAC). During this month, Allah sends great blessings to people, forgives them their sins, ennobles them and bestows them. Just as autumn rain cleanses the earth from all dust, so the month of Ramadan cleanses the soul of believers from sins.

Below is a table of fasting for residents of Baku and its suburbs.

For residents of cities remote from the capital, the time varies from the table presented (in minutes):

Daily prayers for the Holy month of Ramadan

How to fast correctly

The Almighty has determined the order of fasting during the blessed month of Ramadan. Fasting in the month of Ramadan is obligatory for every Muslim who is conscious, of legal age and capable of fasting in accordance with Sharia law.

Every day, after the morning meal (imsak), before starting the fast, it is necessary to say a prayer (niyyet), as well as during breaking the fast (iftar). You can learn about prayers from special religious literature.

It is advisable to open the iftar fast with a date, clean water, milk or something sweet. Under no circumstances should you consume foods that contain pork or alcohol additives while eating. It is not advisable to eat too heavily either in the morning or in the evening, it burdens the body and is harmful to health. It is also advisable to feed those who are fasting in the evening. According to the hadith, the one who feeds a fasting person in the evening will receive the same reward as the one who fasted.

Restrictions and features during fasting

During the period between morning and evening prayers, you cannot perform certain actions:

1) You cannot deliberately lie when swearing in the names of Allah, prophets and imams.

2) You can’t eat or drink. In addition, nothing should enter the body through natural openings. For example, it is forbidden for water to enter the ear hole, or for thick fog, smoke and steam to enter the body through the mouth or nose (flour, dust, cigarette smoke, etc. in the air), chewing gum and performing enemas are also prohibited . You can taste food (if a person prepares food), but do not swallow it, but spit it out. If food is swallowed out of forgetfulness or unconsciously, then the weapon is not considered interrupted. After the morning meal (imsak) before fasting, it is necessary to thoroughly clean the mouth and between the teeth of food debris, since if small food debris is swallowed during fasting, this breaks the fast.

3) You cannot join sexual intercourse during fasting. It is also undesirable for spouses to engage in intimate caresses that excite each other. Intimate relationships after fasting are permitted, but with the condition of complete ablution before morning prayer. Note that if an orgasm occurs during sleep (wet dream), this does not lead to stopping the fast. In this case, you should swim and continue fasting.

4) Vomiting, if it occurs deliberately, breaks the fast. If a fasting person vomits against his will, then the fast is not broken, you just need to rinse your mouth.

5) The appearance of menstruation even before sunset breaks the fast. Women are not prohibited from using cosmetics and incense, but it is better to abstain, because lipstick can enter the body, and this is unacceptable during fasting.

6) It is better not to perform actions that cause blood loss, including tooth extraction. If the gums bleed and the fasting person swallows blood with saliva, then the fast is broken. Taking medication also breaks the fast. Injections are given to sick people for whom fasting is not advisable, but after recovery the person must make up for these days.

7) Swallowing saliva and phlegm does not break the fast, as does rinsing the mouth and bathing. Only the person bathing must be careful not to swallow the water or plunge headlong into the water. For example, do not jump into the pool or sea.

Release from fasting

Fasting is obligatory for all believers, except minors, the elderly and seriously ill, the insane, pregnant women and nursing mothers, travelers and those on the battlefield.

“Whoever of you finds this month, let him fast, and whoever is sick or on a journey, let him fast on other days. Allah desires ease for you and does not desire difficulties, and that you fast completely and completely and glorify the Lord for that , that He led you to the true path, maybe you will be grateful! - it is said in the Koran.

It is a sin for a woman to fast during menstruation and postpartum cleansing, but after cleansing she must make up for the missed days of fasting. The same as for a sick person, after recovery, and do this before the month of Ramadan next year. But if a person is sick or old, and cannot keep the fast in any way, then for each missed day of fasting he must feed the poor person to his fill. If the fast was missed voluntarily, due to negligence or neglect, then this is a grave sin and a heavy fine is imposed (ask about the amount at the mosque).

Night of Predestination

The exact date of the revelation of the Quran is unknown, but for centuries Muslim believers have been celebrating the holy night of Laylat al-Ghadr in the last 10 days of Ramadan at night on the odd days of the month (Ehya Gejesi). It received a different name - the Night of Predetermination of Fate, because it is believed that it is on this night that the Almighty determines the fate of a person for the coming year. The Qur'an says: "We sent it (the Qur'an) down on the Night of Predestination. How do you know what the Night of Predestination is? The Night of Predestination is better than a thousand months. On this night the angels and the Spirit (Jabrail) descend, with the permission of their Lord, to fulfill His commands "On this night - sending greetings until dawn."

As a rule, some Muslims celebrate this night from the 18th to the 19th, from the 20th to the 21st and from the 22nd to the 23rd of the month of Ramadan. Others believe that the Holy Night falls precisely on the night from the 26th to the 27th of the month of Ramadan.

Fasting improves health

Compliance with fasting according to all the rules purifies a Muslim not only spiritually, but also improves health. If a person constantly eats and drinks heavily, without giving the body rest, then toxic substances accumulate in the body. The human body, tired of systematically eating throughout the year, rests during this month. At the same time, a kind of renewal occurs in our body. This is what the Prophet Muhammad (S) said about this: “Keep the rules and you will become healthier.”

According to doctors, fasting strengthens the immune system, improving the functional parameters of lymphocytes tenfold, as well as increasing the content of cells responsible for immunity; prevents obesity; prevents the formation of excess acidity, which is main reason stomach ulcers; protects against the formation of kidney stones, as it increases the sodium content in the blood, preventing calcification processes; restrains sexual instincts, especially in young people, thereby protecting the body from mental and physical disorders; abstaining from drinking increases the body’s energy and learning ability, improves memory; activates and optimizes metabolic processes taking place in cells with the participation of glucose, fats and proteins.

And since the lunar calendar is shorter than the Gregorian calendar, every year the month of Ramadan moves back by about 11 days.

Many people who consider themselves to be different religions, do not fully know what Ramadan is, although they have heard this name more than once. Ramadan is a holy Muslim fast that lasts one moon month. Its name is translated as “scorching heat”, “heat”, “heat”. All the names of this ninth month of the Muslim calendar are associated with the time of the holiday. As a rule, this is summer or late spring: Muslim holidays are tied to the lunar calendar, so the schedule changes annually. Ramadan 2016 - the beginning and end of fasting fall on June 6 and July 5, respectively. And in Russia, Moscow, and in other countries, the calendar of all important holidays and events are the same. If in 2016 you are planning to visit Tunisia or the UAE between June 6 and July 5, take into account all the restrictions associated with fasting. Showing respect to the believers of Islam, follow the prescribed restrictions in public and observe the rules of the holy Ramadan. If there are Muslim believers among your friends, be sure to send them congratulations on the beginning of the holiday on June 5th.

What is Ramadan, the Muslim holy month?

Every child born of a Muslim knows what the holiday of Ramadan is. This is a monthly fast that falls on summer time, associated with the strictest restrictions on food, drink and pleasure. Its story is connected with the prophet Muhammad and his meeting with the angel Jabrail (in Orthodoxy: the archangel Gabriel). Through an angel, Muhammad received revelations from Allah, which appeared to him as verses that became suras of the Koran. For every Muslim, this event is sacred, because it revealed the message of Allah to the entire Islamic world.

During these days, fasting Muslims are not allowed to eat or drink before sunset. After the sun goes below the horizon, you can eat, but the first meal of the day should be healthy and light. Russian Muslims, total number which according to different sources, ranges from 20 to 30 million people, respect the fast, but not everyone observes it. The rules of Ramadan are humane, despite the seemingly strictest restrictions (not a drop of water before sunset, even in the heat!), and many believers may not observe fasting. You will read about these exceptions below.

There are countless different beliefs and religions in the world: from the worship of wooden African Gods to laudatory odes to the northern Gods of the winds and seas. For many thousands of years, humanity has identified the two most numerous and popular movements - Islam and Christianity. Considering that both religions originated from Judaism, it is easy to trace them common features. But there are also striking differences. For example, the Islamic holy month is Ramadan 2016, the beginning and end of which are set annually on different dates depending on the Muslim calendar. The most important and responsible fast of Ramadan, observed according to a strict calendar and daily schedule, has many conditions and features. Muslims should become closely acquainted with it, and Christians should at least study it superficially.

In Russia, the beginning and end of Ramadan in 2016 fall on June 6 and July 5, respectively. It is during this period that it is especially important to do good deeds.
