History Of Ramadan
Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar observed by Muslims all around the world. It is an auspicious month of prayers, fasting, contemplation, and community. It was once included in the ancient Arabs’ calendar. The name ‘Ramadan’ has been obtained from the Arabic word “Ar-ramad”, meaning ‘blazing heat’. The history of Ramzan is associated with Prophet Muhammad who had encountered an angel in the 610 A.D. on the night of Laylat-al-Qadr. During that time, the angel made revelations from God or Allah to Prophet Muhammad. Laylat-al-Qadr signifies one of the 5 odd-numbered nights that occur during the final 10 days of Ramazan.
The revelations were accumulated in a book with 114 chapters, The Holy Quran. Muslims believe the texts in it to be the exact words of God. They also believe that Prophet Muhammad was the last chosen Prophet of God to be the messenger and teach the eminence of brotherhood and love to mankind. The Prophet was reported quoting, “When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of Heaven are opened and the gates of Hell are closed and the Devils are chained.” The angel was trusted as a messenger of God or Allah and as per their instructions, people have been observing the month of Ramadan.

Suhoor is taken before sunrise, is wholesome as well as healthy enough to give sufficient energy for survival during the day, while Iftar is taken after sunset. Suhoor closes at the time of sunrise, after which the ‘Fajr’ or morning prayers start, which are then ended with Iftar. Eating Dates before the Iftar meals are considered beneficial to promote the richness of vitamins and minerals in the body. People can, at their will, have various food and water intakes during the entire night till the following Suhoor. Any person fasting is asked to drink water as much as possible at dawn in order to avoid getting thirsty during the day. People of Saudi Arabia prepare traditional desserts like Baklava or Knafeh and Luqaimat as part of Iftar.
