The most anticipated holy month of Ramadan is about to start and Muslims around the world are so excited to see the new crescent moon of 2024. Almost all people know what Ramadan is, why it is celebrated and how it is celebrated.
But still, if you have just heard the name of Ramadan and do not know the meaning of it then here is a short introduction to Ramadan.
Introduction Of Ramadan
Ramadan is the most sacred month in Islamic culture and is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar. Ramadan originated from the Arabic root “ar -ramad” which means scorching heat. Muslims believe that in A.D 610 the angel Gabriel appeared to Prophet Muhammed and revealed to him the Holy Quran (Islamic Holy book). That revelation, Laylat Al-Qadar – or the “Night of Power” – is believed to have occurred during Ramadan. Muslims fast during this month between sunrise to sunset (daytime) and this is obligatory for all Muslims, except for ill, pregnant women, travelling, elderly or menstruating.
Muslims follow the fast in two ways, pre-dawn breakfast called “Sheri” which usually occurs at 4:00 AM before the first prayer of the day and the evening meal called “Iftar” which begins after the sunset prayer (Maghreb) finishes around 7:30 PM. Traditionally three dates are eaten to break the fast as Prophet Mohammad broke his fast with dates and a glass of water. In the Middle East, dates are rich in nutrients, easy to digest and provide the body with sugar after a long day of fasting.
Iftar is the second meal of the day and Muslims people mostly prefer gathering to break their fast together. Anyone (non-Muslim) can also be invited to their iftar table because Muslims believe that feeding someone iftar is a form of charity and is rewarding and such is practised by Muhammed.
Hence, if you are also planning Iftar for your friend circle then you can invite them to your home or you can explore Dubai’s some famous places in Dubai where you can enjoy the Iftar feast. Here, I have shared the famous community of Dubai and the restaurants which mostly arrange the Iftar feast and also deliver it to your address.
