00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:55.720
who may not be familiar.

166
00:12:56.120 --> 00:12:59.240
Ramadan is the ninth month of Islamic calendar and is

167
00:12:59.399 --> 00:13:03.200
considered the Hodius month for Muslims. It is the month

168
00:13:03.399 --> 00:13:06.919
in which the Quran was revealed to prophets Salona in Fildom,

169
00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:10.440
and it is observed by fasting from dawn to dusk.

170
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.559
Fasting is one of the five pillars of.

171
00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:16.279
Islam and serve as a way to develop patients self

172
00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:20.320
restrained and mindfulness. It is a time for spiritual reflection,

173
00:13:21.440 --> 00:13:24.759
extra prayers and active kindness when it is Ramadan. The

174
00:13:24.879 --> 00:13:28.879
Islami calendar follows a leunar cycle, meaning Ramadan begins and

175
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:32.200
ends with the sighting of the new moon. Because of this,

176
00:13:32.440 --> 00:13:35.879
the date shifts about ten to eleven days earlier each year.

177
00:13:36.440 --> 00:13:37.960
This year, in twenty twenty.

178
00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:41.240
Five, Ramadan began on March first and will end on

179
00:13:41.399 --> 00:13:42.399
March twenty ninth.

180
00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:45.919
During this time, Muslim greed each other with a phrase

181
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:51.840
Ramadan mubarik and Ramadan kream so how today because they

182
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:53.000
look like in Ramadan.

183
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:57.799
It starts with sol the free dawn meal, followed by

184
00:13:57.919 --> 00:13:59.240
the morning prayer feasure.

185
00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:02.080
Throughout the day, I must abstain from food.

186
00:14:02.440 --> 00:14:07.559
Drink, including water, and other physical needs until sunset, when

187
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:10.720
they break their fast with if thar. If Thear is

188
00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:14.840
often a time for family, friends and community to come together,

189
00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:17.120
sharing in the blessing of the day.

190
00:14:17.600 --> 00:14:19.559
In the evenings, special.
