Ramadan In Jordan.
Islam's Holy Month of Ramadan
In Jordan and most Arab countries banners, flags and multicolored lights are everywhere. It seems like Christmas in the United States. These are the outward displays of a culture Ramadan
Ramadan is either 29 or 30 days long, and is based on the lunar calendar, which means that over a period of many years, the holiday occurs in different "months." Ramadan begins 11 days earlier each year on our calendar celebrating Ramadan
Fasting time from sunrise to sunset during the month of Ramadan. Fasting means no food or drink (even water) or smoking during these hours. During this holy month more than a billion Muslims worldwide usually work slightly shorter days and celebrate the breaking of the fast with a family dinner at sunset
Ramadan is intended for people to experience the life of the unfortunate among the world's population that frequently have only a single meal during the day. Most Muslims contribute more to worthy causes during this holy month, and several sites for the poor to get a warm meal are staffed with volunteers.
In the evenings, people stay up late for family and other gatherings. Multiple cultural and artistic events are scheduled. Many young people gather at cafés in celebration of the breaking of the fast.
Then the month-long fasting is concluded with the three-day Aid Al Fitr holiday. This is one of the two most important Muslim holidays. It is probably equivalent to Christmas in its family significance. On the social level, most families visit each other, and all Muslims are encouraged to be forgiving.
Families make sweets such as baklava and almond donuts at home and share them with their neighbors, family and the poor. Children often receive gifts of clothes and sometimes toys, and people are usually in a cheerful mood.
In conclusion
Ramadan is a special month of the year for over one billion Muslims throughout the world. It is a time for inner reflection, devotion to God, and self-control.
Muslims think of it as a kind of tune-up for their spiritual lives. There are as many meanings of Ramadan as there are Muslims.
