Exploring the Indian Ramadan Calendar and its Regional Traditions

The Indian Ramadan Calendar

The Indian Ramadan Kareem calendar is based on the sighting of the moon, which marks the beginning of the holy month. The Islamic calendar is lunar, consisting of 12 months that are based on the cycles of the moon. As a result, the dates of Ramadan shift approximately 10 or 11 days earlier each year about the Gregorian calendar.

Sighting of the Moon in India

In India, the sighting of the moon is a significant event that determines the start and end of Ramadan. It is traditionally done by religious scholars and experts who carefully observe the sky to spot the new moon crescent. Once the moon is sighted, the news is announced, and the entire Muslim community begins their fasting and observance of Ramadan.

Regional Variations in India

However, due to the vast geographical expanse of India and its diverse population, the sighting of the moon can vary from one region to another. This leads to slight variations in the start and end dates of Ramadan across different states of India. For example, in some states, the moon may be sighted a day earlier or later than in others, resulting in a difference in the beginning and end of Ramadan.

Observance of Ramadan in India

Despite these regional variations, the observance of Ramadan in India is a unifying experience for Muslims across the country. It is a time of reflection, prayer, and self-discipline. Muslims wake up before dawn to have a pre-fast meal called Suhoor and then abstain from food and drink until sunset. The fast is broken with a meal called Iftar, which typically includes dates, water, and a variety of delicious dishes.

During Ramadan, mosques are filled with worshippers attending Taraweeh prayers, which are special congregational prayers held every night. The recitation of the Quran during these prayers is completed over the month. It is also a time when Muslims engage in acts of charity, giving to the less fortunate and helping those in need.

Significance of the Indian Ramadan Calendar

The Indian Ramadan calendar not only marks the start and end of the holy month but also serves as a reminder of the importance of unity and community. It is a time when families come together to break their fast, share meals, and strengthen their bonds. It is a month of self-reflection, spiritual growth, and deepening one's connection with God.

The Lunar Calendar and Ramadan

The lunar calendar has played a significant role in the observance of Ramadan throughout history. The Islamic calendar, also known as the Hijri calendar, is based on the lunar cycle, which consists of approximately 354 or 355 days. This is in contrast to the Gregorian calendar, which is a solar calendar and consists of 365 or 366 days.

Due to the difference in the length of the lunar and solar years, the dates of Islamic months, including Ramadan, vary each year with the Gregorian calendar. This means that Ramadan does not fall on the same dates every year, but rather shifts approximately 10 or 11 days earlier each year. This constant movement of Ramadan throughout the seasons allows Muslims to experience the blessed month in different parts of the year, providing a diverse range of spiritual experiences.

Determining the Beginning and End of Ramadan

The beginning of Ramadan is determined by the sighting of the new moon, which marks the start of the Islamic month of Shawwal. This sighting is usually done by religious authorities or local committees who observe the sky. The process involves looking for the crescent moon shortly after sunset, and if it is sighted, it signifies the start of Ramadan. However, if the moon is not visible due to weather conditions or other factors, the beginning of Ramadan is determined by completing a full 30 days of the previous month, Sha'ban.

Once the new moon is sighted, the first day of Ramadan begins, and Muslims around the world embark on a month-long journey of fasting, prayer, and reflection. The duration of Ramadan is either 29 or 30 days, depending on the sighting of the moon. This variation in the length of Ramadan adds to the anticipation and excitement of the month, as Muslims eagerly await the announcement of Eid al-Fitr, the festival marking the end of Ramadan.

The end of Ramadan is marked by the sighting of the new moon of the following month, Shawwal. This sighting is also done by religious authorities or local committees, and once the moon is sighted, it signifies the end of Ramadan and the beginning of Eid al-Fitr. This festive occasion is celebrated by Muslims worldwide, as they come together to offer prayers, exchange gifts, and engage in acts of charity. It is a time of joy and gratitude, as Muslims commemorate the completion of Ramadan and the blessings they have received throughout the month.

Introduction to Ramadan

Ramadan is not just a time of abstention from food and drink from sunrise to sunset; it’s a period rich in spiritual reflection, prayer, and community. The Islamic lunar calendar, based on the moon’s phases, sets the stage for this holy month, which commemorates the revelation of the Holy Quran to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) by the archangel Gabriel.

During Ramadan, the focus is on purifying the soul, practicing self-discipline, and dedicating oneself to prayer and reading the Quran. The last 10 days hold special significance, with the “Night of Power” or Laylat Al Qadr, considered the holiest night, when prayers are believed to be most potent.

Practices and Observances

Muslims across the globe engage in fasting, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs during daylight hours. This act of faith and worship is intended to cleanse the soul and foster empathy for the less fortunate. Nights are spent in prayer, and the importance of charity is emphasized, aligning with the spirit of giving and gratitude.

ok so im not sure that this is articulate for ppl who aren't calendarheads like me but the jewish and islamic calendars are both calendars in which a year is 12 lunar cycles, and the difference is that the jewish calendar has leap months whereas the islamic calendar does not. so every 2/3 years, the jewish calendar actually has 13 months, and so each time there's a leap month, the jewish and islamic months become out-of-sync by one month. the jewish leap months are timed so that the calendar is in accordance with the metonic cycle (the way that the lunar and solar cycles always align in the same way they did 19 years previously). which is to say, since the jewish calendar was standardized, there have been cycles of 19 years wherein there is a leap month during the 3rd, 6th, 8th, 11th, 14th, 17th, and 19th years (sidenote—you can find what year we are in the cycle by dividing the jewish year by 19 and taking the remainder. for example, this year is 5783, and 5783/19=304r7, so it's the 7th year in the cycle, and not a leap year). but last year was the 6th year in the cycle—it was a leap year. so, it shifted the jewish calendar wrt the islamic calendar, and it put the month nissan (the month in which passover is celebrated) in alignment with the month of ramadan. this year, ramadan and nissan will stay in alignment. and next year, the 8th year in the cycle, ramadan will be in alignment with the leap month itself, which is inserted before nissan. so, it'll take 12 more jewish leap years before nissan and ramadan co-occur (if you look closely, you'll notice that it takes 33 years for 12 jewish leap years to occur, and you might recognize 33 as the number of years it takes for the islamic calendar to fully cycle around the gregorian calendar. which, of course, is not a coincidence!). as you can see, most of the gaps between leap years are 3 years long, but at the current part of the cycle, it's 2 years long. ANYWAY all this is to say that if it were a 3-year gap rn we'd be able to reuse that he is risen/he is not/he is off-limits until sunset meme for 3 years instead of just 2. sad.

I'm not at all religious but I fucking love it when people include their pets in their ceremonies. I just saw a cat dressed up (and looking 🔥🔥) in little Iftar outfits. Remember that tweet about the Jewish household who got their cat an advent calendar because, well, who are they to tell the cat she has to be Jewish? I've seen videos of people taking a huge variety of animals to be blessed by the pope, all looking incredibly befuddled. And the cats who love their owners' prayer mats? So they have to have their own? Incredible

//I think part of why I am having difficulty with threads lately is that I am now at a number where I am completely overwhelmed, even with RPthreadtracker (which is a GODSEND, btw).

That isn’t to say you shouldn’t have a starter with me (especially if we haven’t RPed yet!). In fact, feel free to throw them my way, I’ll very likely love it! The problem is that I am very ADHD and I’m on a bajillion medications lmao, sometimes I legitimately need to step back and take life one step of a time.

So forgive me if you sent me a starter and I haven’t answered it yet. Or if tracked your thread and I haven’t answered in a long time. I’ll get to it eventually. Just give me time. I don’t want to burn myself out, I’m still kicking my ass for vanishing for almost an entire year for that burnout in particular.

People who have advent calendars: when do you open them? In the morning with breakfast? After dinner? When you get back from school/work as a reward for getting through it- but then what about the days when you’re not there? And also, why do you open it when you open it? Is it a childhood thing or something you started yourself?
