 DAY 2
(Islamic Months)

The Islamic calendar is lunar, this means that the calendar follows the
patterns of the moon not the sun.
Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) says in the Qur’an:

ٰ َ َ َ َ َ َ َّ َ ُ ُّ َ َّ َّ
‫ّلل ٱثنا عش شهرا ِف ِكتـ ِب‬ ِ ‫ور ِعند ٱ‬ ِ ‫ِإن ِعدة ٱلشه‬

َّ ‫ّلل َيو َم َخ َل َق ٱ‬
َّ
ِ ِ ِ ‫ٱ‬
Indeed, the number of months with Allah is twelve [lunar] months in the
register of Allah [from] the day He created the heavens and the earth; of
these, four are sacred. (9:36)
Let’s learn the names of the months in Arabic!

On the authority of ‘Abdullah, the son of ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah
be pleased with them) who said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬say, "Islam has been built on five
[pillars]: testifying that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah and
that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, establishing the salah (prayer),
paying the zakat (obligatory charity), making the hajj (pilgrimage) to the
House, and fasting in Ramadhan."
[Bukhari & Muslim]

Ramadhan.

 DAY 4
(What is Ramadhan?)
Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) says in the Qur’an:

ُ ُ َ ُْ َ ُ َّ َ َ َ َ ُ َ
‫يه ٱلقرءان هدى‬ ِ ‫شهر رمضان ٱل ِذى أ ِنزل ِف‬
َ َ َ ُ ْ َ ٰ َ ُْ َ ِ ََِٰ َ َّ ِّ

ُ ُ َ َ َ َّ ُ ُ َ َ
‫ش ِهد ِمنكم ٱلشهر فليصمه‬
The month of Ramadhan in which was revealed the Qur’ân, a guidance for
mankind and clear proofs of guidance and criterion (between right and
wrong). So, whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the
month, he must observe Sawm (fasts) that month… (2:185)
We learn two things from this Ayah, that Ramadhan is:

1. The month of Fasting 2. The month of Qur’an

The Qur’an was first sent down to

َ ِ
‫الصيام‬
Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing
be upon him) on Laylat Al-Qadr, or the
'Night of Power', in the Month of
Ramadhan. We will learn more about this
We will talk about this more in Day 5! special night later inshaAllah!

(What is Taqwa?)
Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) says in the Qur’an:

ََ ُ َ ِ ُ ُ َ َ َ ُ ُ َ َ َ َّ َ ُّ َ ٰ َ
‫يـأيها ٱل ِذين ءامنوا ك ِتب عليكم ٱلصيام كما‬

‫ك ِتب عىل ٱل ِذين ِمن قب ِلكم لعلكم تتقون‬
O believers! Fasting is prescribed for you—as it was for those before you—
so perhaps you will become mindful of Allah. (2:183)

Taqwa but especially in
the month of Ramadan.

(Who doesn’t have to Fast?)

Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) says in the Qur’an:

َ َ َ َ ُ َّ َ
‫أياما َّمعدود ٰ ت ف َمن كان ِمنكم َّم ِريضا أو عىل‬

‫ي ِطيقونهۥ ِفدية طعام ِمس ِكي‬
Fast a prescribed number of days. But whoever of you is ill or on a journey,
then let them fast an equal number of days after Ramadhan. For those
who can only fast with extreme difficulty, compensation can be made by
feeding a needy person for every day not fasted… (2:184)

Allah is kind to us, he wants ease for us and not hardship.

If we are sick or travelling, we are excused from fasting and allowed to
make up the fast another day. Also, if you can’t fast at all, like some old
people, then you can feed a needy person.

Narrated Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (‫)ﷺ‬
said: “The smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better in Allah's Sight
than the smell of musk."
[Narrated by al-Bukhaari]

The breath of a fasting person is a smell which is disliked among the

people, but to Allah it is better than the scent of musk because it is a
result of worship and obedience of Allah.

The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬mentioned to us many other virtues:

“When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened and the
gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are chained.”
[Al-Bukhari (3277) and Muslim (1079).]

“In Paradise there is a gate called "Verily, angels send blessings

al-Rayyan, through which those upon a fasting person when
who used to fast will enter on the others eat in their presence
Day of Resurrection, and no one until they finish.”
but they will enter it.” [Sunan At-Tirmidhi]

Me and I would give its reward. There are two (occasions) of joy for the
observer of fast. He feels joy when he breaks the fast and he is happy
when he meets Allah.” [Hadith Qudsi]

(Reading Qur’an)

Did you know? The word Ramadhan is only mentioned once in the
Qur’an! Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) says:

ُ ُ َ ُْ َ ُ َّ َ َ َ َ ُ َ
‫يه ٱلقرءان هدى‬ ِ ‫شهر رمضان ٱل ِذى أ ِنزل ِف‬
َ ُ ْ َ ٰ َ ُْ َ ِ ََِٰ َ َّ ِّ
‫ان‬
ِ ‫اس وبينـت من ٱلهدى وٱلفرق‬ ِ ‫للن‬
The month of Ramadhan in which was revealed the Qur’an, a guidance for
mankind and clear proofs of guidance and criterion (between right and
wrong). So, whoever of you sights (the crescent on the first night of) the
month, he must observe Sawm (fasts) that month… (2:185)
We mentioned this Ayah in Day 4 and we learnt that Ramadhan is:

The month of Qur’an

This means that a Muslim should try his best to read as much Qur’an as
he can during this month, even if it is difficult don’t give up because:
The Prophet (‫ )ﷺ‬said that: “The one who recites the Qur'an and he is
proficient with it, then he is with the noble and blessed Angels and he
who finds it hard (to recite the Qur'an) will have a double reward."

Also, don’t forget you are rewarded ten rewards for every letter you
read from the Qur’an.
The Messenger of Allah (‫ )ﷺ‬said: "[Whoever recites a letter] from
Allah's Book, then he receives the reward from it, and the reward of
ten the like of it. I do not say that Alif Lam Meem is a letter, but Alif is
a letter, Lam is a letter and Meem is a letter."

 Question: If your friend says: “I am reading the Qur’an and I find it very

Messenger (‫ )ﷺ‬said, “Whoever prays during the night in Ramadhan out of
sincere faith and seeking its reward from Allah, will have all of his previous
sins forgiven."
[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Tarawih is a special prayer that is only prayed in the night of Ramadhan
in Jamaa’ah (together). People pray late at night, hoping for Allah’s
reward and forgiveness!
It is prayed with sets of 2 Rak’ahs. At the end, we pray Witr, which
consists of an odd number of Rak’ahs.

Allah's Messenger (‫ )ﷺ‬enjoined the payment of one Sa' of dates or one Sa'
of barley as Zakat-ul-Fitr on every Muslim slave or free, male or female,
young or old, and he ordered that it be given before the people went out to
offer the ‘EId prayer.
[Sahih Al-Bukhari]

One of the five pillars of Islam, Zakat means ‘to cleanse’ or ‘purify’.
Paying Zakat on your wealth purifies it and increases what remains. It
also reminds us that our wealth belongs to Allah.

Zakat ul-Fitr is a type of charity that EVERY Muslim who is able to,
must give to the poor and needy at the end of Ramadhan.
Important: It must be paid before the Eid prayer by each adult Muslim
for themselves and each member of their family.

given us.

How does fasting Ramadhan + 6 days of Shawwal equal to a whole year?

(Sighting of the New Moon)
Moon Facts

In the Islamic calendar, the new crescent Moon marks the start of a
new month.

We begin our Ramadhan and end our fast at the end of the month
according to the sighting of the moon.

It takes 29.5 days for the Moon to go through all its phases.

An Islamic month can have either 29 days or 30 days. How many days in
each month depends on when the new crescent Moon is first visible.

On the 29th of each Islamic calendar month, Muslims go out after

sunset looking for the Moon.

If you can see the crescent Moon on the 29th, that month has 29 days.
If you cannot, it means that month has 30 days.

Basing the months on the sighting of the new crescent Moon means
that anyone can participate. All you need to do is look up!
