The Muslims are particular about fasting. First of all, fasting is one of the basic rules of Islam that must be observed by the faithful, and every adult Muslim man or woman who has the financial strength and sanity has the religious obligation to go to Mecca to worship. All Muslims, both men and women, do their best to make the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca at least once in their lives.
Every year in the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, the month of fasting, the holy city of Mecca is known as the "Holy Land". Every year, thousands of Muslims of all ages gather here to pray. During this month, the faithful are dressed in traditional clothes and trendy fashionSome are old, some are waiting to be fed;There were men and women, and without exception they were required to wear headscarves, veils (or hijabs). They had to travel around the "holy city", ask the imams to chant the scriptures, and greet each other with greetings.
During Ramadan, Muslims fast for 18 hours a day from sunrise to sunset, and absolutely do not eat or drink during the day, even those who are sick, old or bedridden. There is also "Qaidr Night", which is one of the last 10 nights of that month. It is said that Allah Allah revealed the entire Qur'an to the Saint Muhammad word for word.
In addition, there are some precautions and precautions during the Muslim fasting period. First of all, the fasting person has to eat a breakfast "meal" before sunrise, which is called "bangzi" (meaning "bad" rice), usually tea and dried fruits. After sunset to late at night, they generally eat noodles or porridge, and absolutely abstain from eating vegetables, fruits and the like. Only light vegetarian dishes are allowed for three or a day or two before Eid al-Fitr. There are often many people who do not follow this rule, believing that there is no great harm in eating some fruit and the like. In fact, this is absolutely not allowed.
In addition, there are many things to pay attention to during the fasting period, such as not showing your chest and back in front of others, not laughing and scolding casually;No food shall be wasted;Not playful and sleepy;When you see something unclean and hear a crow cry, you immediately spit out "saliva";When a fasting person sees something to eat, such as a cat, dog, chicken, duck, etc., he must not have the desire to kill it.
In short, fasting for the Muslims is an important religious system, and there is a lot of emphasis on it. But these are all expressions of awe and gratitude to Allah, as well as adherence to and inheritance of one's own faith. During the fasting period, the Muslims not only observe strict dietary rules, but also strengthen their hygiene and behaviour as a sign of respect for Allah and steadfastness in their faith.
