What Is Ramadhan, Can You Plz Explain?



Ramadan is the most holy month in Islam and because the Islamic calendar is lunar, the dates change every year.

During this month, Muslims observe fasts and practice abstinence as an act of gratitude for all that they have throughout the rest of the year. People exempt from fasting are those who are too poor, travelling, pregnant, children and the elderly.

The most important night during this month is Laylat-ul-Qadr, and can be on any night of the last ten days of Ramadan (though most believe it to be the 27th day). It's said that the deeds of this night are equivalent to that of a thousand months. It's also believed that any wish or prayer made with a pure heart is granted.

The last night of Ramadan is called Chaand Raat, where most people wait for the sighting of the new moon and it signals the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid-ul-Fitr, which is usually three days long and a celebration. Chaand Raat is celebrated with much gusto, as it involves preparation for Eid-ul-Fitr.

Eid involves visiting relatives, friends and family and many dinners. Children received 'Eidhi' (all elders give it to the younger ones -- particularly problematic if you are a great grandparent), which is money exclusively given on the occasion of Eid, and it's meant to be a blessing as well as a gift.

Addendum:

Unlike Karva Chauth (or Teej for that matter), which takes place from midnight till the sighting of the full moon at night or requires the presence of the husband to break the fast, I the Muslim fast is observed from sunrise till sunset, so at most it's twelve hours long (unless you happen to live in the Northern hemisphere during the summer -- particularly painful, since sunrise is at 3 in the morning and sunset is around 10 at night) and people break their own fasts. Secondly, anyone who faints during a fast automatically breaks it even if they don't eat or drink anything, since the ill are not allowed to fast either.

I also don't know if this still holds true, but from what I know during Ramadan, my family tend to work until about the afternoon (2-3) and then break their fast around 5-ish, and then return to work.

Depends on the families and place of origin. The basic Muslim requirement is Mangni, the Nikaah (which includes the Rukhsati ceremony) and then a Valima, a day later, which is effectively a wedding reception.

Only the Nikaah is 'Farz' (compulsory), and the rest are Sunnah (optional but considered acts of blessing).

In India, this has changed considerably as the Muslim culture amalgamated with the Hindu culture. In most Muslim countries, the bride tends to wear white but in the Sub-continent, brides opt for red on the day of the wedding, and white on the Valima.

In my experience, we tend to have a lot of functions:

Dholki: Pre-wedding celebrations, which tend to be held by the groom's and bride's side but with only those involved in the wedding on an immediate level (dancing, singing, organisation etc.).

Mayun/Ubtan: This is similar to a Haldi, except it tends to be segregated -- both sides can have one, and aside from their own family, only the immediate family of the other side is invited, and usually the ceremonies are reserved for the matriarch who bless the bride and groom.

Mehndi: Similar to the Sangeet, except I've generally witnessed it as an event that involves both sides attending, and there's a lot of singing and dancing, alongside the ceremonies.

Nikaah: This is a complicated one in my family: it can happen at the Mehndi, be a stand alone event, or on the actual wedding day.

Shaadi: This is the event before the Rukhsati (which is basically the Bidai) and once again both sides come together for the event.

Valima: An elaborate wedding reception.

Chauthi: This is celebrated on the fourth day of the marriage and is a smaller get-together, usually involving immediate family and a dinner.

Dussera: Similar to the Chauthi, except that it's celebrated on the 10th day of the marrige.
