The Origin and Significance of Lent

The significance of fasting Islamic precepts have great practical significance from the beginning.

The significance of fasting Islamic precepts have great practical significance from the beginning. Muhammad's wisdom lies in the dogmatic and practical code of conduct, which urges believers to strictly implement it. For example, in order to prevent the epidemic of plague, it is stipulated not to eat blood, set yourself on fire or pork.

Medina is a nomadic area with low agricultural output. After Muhammad moved the Sect to Medina, a large number of people poured in, resulting in local food shortage.

In order to solve this problem, the canon of Ramadan was born and dogmatized by believers, which has been passed down to this day.

In ancient society, underdeveloped productive forces, backward agricultural conditions and food shortage were common phenomena all over the world. Islam believes that Ramadan is a noble month, because: it is the month when the Koran began to appear; "Gader Night" is this month. When Ramadan comes, Muslims will be as happy as festivals.

In some Islamic countries, people often stay up late to discuss doctrines, communicate and socialize. During this month, Muslims not only completed their fasting courses, but also paid attention to charity and "Traviha" worship (Ramadan worship) and read the Koran every night.
