nope eid is a celebration that happens twice in the muslim year, both times at the end of fasting.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the muslim calendar, and its a month of fasting =]

Lol no.

It's the 30 days of fasting we do before we get to partay.

Oh...

I'm sorry.

So Eid is a party, basically?

I was planning to go buy things tomorrow but can't now until tomorrow night because the shops are closed during the day in Ramadan... :nooo:

I'm told it will be hell over the next month for me.

Also, is it true some muslims pay their maids extra to do the fast for them, so then they don't actually do it? :top:

ramadan mubarak everyone!

can someone tell me how many rakaats we have to do during tarawi and how you do it, and is there any special duah you have to read when doing it?

alsoooo what is that prayer we have to do late at night before sehri and how many rakaats has it got?

There is a special du'a. After every 4 rakaat you pray the following:

Subhana dhil Mulki wal Malakuti, Subhana dhil izzati wal adhmati wal haybati wal Qudrati,wal kibriyaa'i wal jabaroot Subhanal Malikil hayyil ladhi, la yunaamu wa la yamutu, Subbuhun, Quddusun, Rabbul malaa'ikati war-rooh Allahumma ajirnee min'an naar. Ya majeeroo, ya majeeroo, ya majeeroo.

I know this is kind of random, but have any of you done the pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia?

I've been watching some of the videos (of the chanting) and it's incredibly inspiring :smile:

It's mustahab. The prayer is mentioned in the weak hadith of Sahih Bukhari (look at the chain).

I don't really like classing myself as a sect, but a few people mentioned to me there is only a particular sect(s) (don't know if it's more than one sect) who agree with reading the 8 instead of 20.

helo :]

I think Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic Lunar-based calendar. It's basically a month where Muslims will fast from dawn to sunset.

I think everyone who is able (and over a certain age) is encouraged to fast, because it's one of the pillars in Islam.
