The origin and regulation of Ramadan

1. According to historical records, in 623 AD, when Muhammad, the founder of Islam, led his troops to war, he encountered the dilemma of lack of food and water in the vast desert, but in the end, the soldiers defeated the powerful enemy with their perseverance and confidence to win. In order to let everyone remember the hardships of starting a business forever, the Islamic Shariah stipulates that September Ramadan lasts for one month. As one of the "five pillars of Islamic destiny" in Islam, every Muslim must strictly abide by it.

During Ramadan, as long as Muslims are pregnant women, patients and children, both men and women should "fast", stop all activities such as eating, drinking and sexual life from sunrise to sunset, endure the pain of hunger and thirst, experience the difficulties of life and entrepreneurship, and temper their will to overcome difficulties in adversity. We should also sympathize with the poor, curb selfish desires and give generously. Mu Sheng pointed out: "Keeping Qin Lezhai as a sign of wish is superior to all other good deeds." This fully demonstrates the importance of Ramadan.

Many people mistakenly believe that Muslims do not eat or drink during Ramadan until Eid al-Fitr. In fact, this is ridiculous. If you don't eat or drink for a month, no one can stand it. During Ramadan, Muslims can't eat from sunrise to sunset, but they can drink tea and eat after sunset, but they are also temperate and don't overeat.

Having said that, some friends may still doubt whether fasting will affect the health and development of the body. I can say responsibly that this kind of worry is completely unnecessary. Fasting is an excellent way of physical and mental cultivation, which not only purifies and promotes the spirit and morality, but also has many benefits to people's health.
