As you know, the months in the Muslim Hijri calendar are tied to lunar year, that is, they “walk” according to the seasons. Each year in the Gregorian calendar, the Hijri calendar shifts by about 11 days. Therefore, the holy month of Ramadan (or Ramadan, according to another version of pronunciation), when Muslims hold the uraza, also begins earlier and earlier every year. Last year, the Uraza began in some places on June 29, and in others on June 30. On July 28, 2014, Eid al-Fitr took place in Russia.

In 2015, the beginning of the Uraza will fall on Saturday, June 18, in accordance with the information of the Council of Muftis of Russia. On the same day, for the first time, Turkish Muslims also hold an uraza. In fact, if strictly legally, Ramadan begins on the evening of June 17, at sunset, and the first additional teravih prayer will be read along with the night prayer exactly on June 17, Friday. And the Muslim fast itself must be kept on the 18th. For the convenience of our readers, we have prepared information about.

During Uraza, Muslims do not eat or drink from the moment of dawn (suhoor lasts until imsak) and until sunset (iftar and the beginning of Maghrib prayer), do not enter into intimate relationships, try to engage in their spirituality and protect themselves from all temptations and sins.

In this case, what date will Uraza Bayram take place in 2015?

According to information from the Council of Muftis of Russia, the last day of the uraza - July 16 inclusive, and Muslims will celebrate on July 17 this year.

In general, around the time of the beginning and end of the uraza, disputes always flare up between representatives of different currents of Islam and even within these currents. The main question is whether it is necessary to wait for the appearance new moon and see it with my own eyes in order to determine the beginning of the uraza? Many scientists are supporters of determining this moment astronomically, since science has long since learned to recognize the birth of a new moon in an accurate way. Others, more conservative, believe that it is necessary to see the new month with your own eyes. Without pretending to any theological conclusion, we can only say that in many countries, for example, Russia, in some places you can wait a couple of weeks to see any sky at all. Therefore, in terms of determining the beginning and end of the uraza, it is better to focus on exact science. You can draw an analogy with prayer - if everyone, especially in megacities, focused only on the sun, then it would be very difficult for them to determine the times.

The holy month for Muslims - Ramadan - ends with the holiday of Eid al-Fitr. This most important day for the worshipers of Allah and his prophet is also called the holiday of breaking the fast. A strict fast is replaced by a magnificent holiday, it is allowed to eat various dishes and a variety of drinks.

It is believed that it was on this day that the Prophet Muhammad received the first verses of the Koran from Allah.

What date is Eid al-Fitr in 2015

Eid al-Fitr is celebrated at the end of the month of Ramadan - on the first day of the month of Shawwal. In Muslim countries, the next 2 days are also non-working days. The dates of the celebration change every year. In 2015, fasting lasts from June 18 to July 17, and Eid al-Fitr falls on July 17.

Congratulations on Eid al-Fitr

Eid al-Fitr is one of the main Muslim holidays, so visiting the mosque on this day is a must. The faithful dress up in festive clothes and go to pray. As a rule, only men are present at the prayer, while women are preparing to receive guests. All passers-by must be congratulated with the words: “May Allah send his mercy to you and us”, “May Allah accept your and our prayers.”

On a holiday, it is customary to distribute alms, as well as give gifts to relatives and friends. First of all, do not forget about the children. Muslims also try to ask for forgiveness and thereby try to atone for sins.

On Eid al-Fitr, Muslims visit the graves of relatives, and in the evening they gather their entire family at the table. It is believed that the house is also visited by the spirits of the deceased ancestors.

It is no coincidence that the first day of the month of Shawwal is called the holiday of breaking the fast. The table should be bursting with food. Sweets are especially honored: almonds, dates, figs and pistachios, cookies and desserts. Generous housewives prepare refreshments the day before and always take them to their neighbors.

Ramadan 2015 start and end. Ramadan 2015 is a fasting time for Muslims. Ramadan calendar this year. Into our everyday life more and more intertwined customs and traditions of other peoples. We know and respect the Catholic Christmas, Chinese New Year and Jewish Passover.

The holy month of Ramadan, very important and significant for all devout Muslims, is not yet widely known. We decided to fill this gap and introduce you to the history and rules of this ancient custom. You will learn what date Ramadan begins, how long it lasts, how it ends and why its observance is of such great importance for all the followers of Allah.

• Eating food and even drinking water during the day (between Fajr morning prayer and Maghreb evening prayer) is strictly prohibited.
• There is a severe taboo on the performance of marital duties during daylight hours.
• Unintentional actions (such as accidentally swallowing water during ablution, etc.) are not considered a violation of the rules.
• Children who have not reached puberty and mentally ill people are released from all restrictions.

Ramadan 2015: Features

A complete rejection of simple human needs, even on the hottest and most exhausting days, gives Muslims the opportunity to demonstrate the strength of their faith. During fasting, Muslims seek to curb their instincts and passions (nafs). In addition to external cleanliness in this month, the fasting person tries to strictly observe internal purity - liberation from all thoughts and actions that defile a person. The fast of a Muslim, whose deeds and thoughts are unclean and not pleasing to God, is considered invalid because "Allah does not need to refrain from eating and drinking the one who has not left a lie." Muslims believe that the observance of spiritual and bodily fasting in the month of Ramadan has an extremely positive effect on their souls.

During this month, Muslims approach the performance of prayers more responsibly than in ordinary months, read the Koran, do good deeds, distribute voluntary (sadaqah) and obligatory (zakat) alms. Many Muslims who, for some reason, stop performing prayers, most often return to observing this pillar of Islam this month. That is why Muslims await Ramadan with reverence.

The history of the holiday Uraza-Bayram

Uraza Bayram is one of the 2 main days of the Islamic calendar, marking the end of the fast, which lasted for holy month Ramadan. The tradition of celebrating the day of breaking the fast dates back to the time of the Prophet Muhammad, from 624.

Celebration Ritual

Believers congratulate each other with the words: "Eid Mubarak!" (Blessed holiday!). On the eve and on the day of the holiday, obligatory alms (zakat al-fitr) are collected. The collected funds go to the benefit of the community (the poor, travelers, etc.) in the form of dry food products, or the monetary equivalent of these products (in the Hanafi madhhab).

On the day of the holiday, Muslims perform a festive ritual prayer (id-namaz), put on the best clothes, prepare traditional dishes, and after the holiday prayer they set up festive tables, invite neighbors, relatives and friends to visit, make return visits with gifts, rejoice and have fun.
On a happy holiday for all Muslims, children take part in various games, visit neighbors who distribute sweets to them. At this time, it is also customary to visit the graves of loved ones, distribute donations to the poor, give gifts and ask each other for forgiveness.

Days of celebration

The first day of the month of Shawwal is considered a public holiday, but according to tradition, schools, institutions and shops in Muslim countries usually do not work for another two or three days.

From the lines of an unknown miracle, from the wisdom of centuries and days -

There is no wisdom other than the wisdom of the lines of the great Koran.

So, Ramadan. In everything Islamic world, whether it be orthodox Saudi Arabia, the hot-tempered republics of the Caucasus and Transcaucasia, or the more liberal Tatarstan and Bashkortostan, Ramadan is considered to be a time of fasting - repentance and repentance.

Ramadan 2017 is no exception. It goes without saying that the inhabitants will have a completely logical question about the expediency and significance of fasting. The answer to this question goes deep into Islamic dogmas. Firstly, the entire religion of Islam is based on five pillars of faith, namely: "shahada" (revelation that there is no god but Allah, and Muhammad is his prophet), fasting in Ramadan, "zakat" (payments for the benefit of Muslims), prayer and hajj.
As you can see, fasting is a very significant act in Islam. Secondly, another reason for fasting is the acquisition of one's own "nafs", that is, the struggle with one's own vices and sins, according to Islamic theologians, and even Christian ones, it is fasting and prayer that lead a person to enlightenment and deliverance from the burdens of sins and passions. Third, and another very important reason, is the enormous medical benefits of fasting and fasting. Date of Ramadan 2017 will be within the period from May 27 to July 25

According to the testimony of doctors, fasting, performed in accordance with the Qur'anic rules, leads to the improvement of the body, the improvement of the functioning of the body's systems and the more efficient functioning of the internal organs. This happens due to the fact that the body digests a minimum of food, giving all the "strength" to fight toxins, etc.

Rules for observance of Ramadan in 2017

The rules of fasting imply the refusal of food in the light of day, that is, you can consume almost any food that is not haram (prohibition), but only after dark, that is, after reading night prayer- tahajjut or ishy. The time when food can be consumed is called "suhoor". At the same time, if a Muslim unintentionally and accidentally consumed food, then fasting can be continued. Also, brushing your teeth, filling fillings, bathing, donating blood do not affect the fast. BUT, one thing must be remembered: fasting without prayer will not be considered a fully observed fast.

Of course, fasting is optional for adherents of other religions, as well as for pregnant women and children, people traveling on foot and women after childbirth. The date of Ramadan in 2017 may seem particularly difficult for Muslims, as it falls during the summer months, when the daylight is very long and the dark time of the day has a few hours. But, as they say: "From each to the best of his ability."

Observance and Celebration of Ramadan 2017

One of the important dates in the days of the holy month is the Night of Predestination (Lailat-ul-Qadar), usually this night falls on the last 10 days of the month. This night is marked by the fact that it was at this time that the prophet Muhammad received last suras Quran in a cave near Mecca.

After the end of the month of Ramadan, the holiday of the end of the fast follows - Uraza Bayram. Respectively,
the month of Ramadan in 2017 will be crowned with Eid al-Fitr on July 25. As a rule, a sacrificial ram is slaughtered on this day. The ram is divided into three parts: one part goes to feed and celebrate with his family, the second part is given to distant relatives or friends, and the third part of the sacrificial ram is given as alms to those families who cannot afford to slaughter a ram and sacrifice in honor of Allah .
