Pickering Masjid: Ramadan Questions and Answers
Ramadhan Questions and Answers
Q: How did the fast during Ramadhan become obligatory for Muslims?
The revelations from God to the Prophet Muhammad that would eventually be compiled as the Quran began during Ramadhan in the year 610, but the fast of Ramadhan did not become a religious obligation for Muslims until the year 624. The obligation to fast is explained in the second chapter of the Quran:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ ﴿١٨٣﴾ أَيَّامًا مَّعْدُودَاتٍ ۚ فَمَن كَانَ مِنكُم مَّرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۚ وَعَلَى الَّذِينَ يُطِيقُونَهُ فِدْيَةٌ طَعَامُ مِسْكِينٍ ۖ فَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّهُ ۚ وَأَن تَصُومُوا خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ ۖ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴿١٨٤﴾ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَىٰ وَالْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۗ يُرِيدُ اللَّـهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّـهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ ﴿١٨٥﴾
"O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint...Ramadhan is the (month) in which was sent down the Quran, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting..." (Chapter 2, verses 183 and 185)
Q: What do Muslims believe they gain from fasting?
One of the main benefits of Ramadhan are an increased compassion for those in need of the necessities of life, a sense of self-purification and reflection and a renewed focus on spirituality. Muslims also appreciate the feeling of togetherness shared by family and friends throughout the month. Perhaps the greatest practical benefit is the yearly lesson in self-restraint and discipline that can carry forward to other aspects of a Muslim's life such as work and education.
Q: Why does Ramadhan begin on a different day each year?
Because Ramadhan is a lunar month, it begins about eleven days earlier each year. Throughout a Muslim's lifetime, Ramadhan will fall both during winter months, when the days are short, and summer months, when the days are long and the fast is more difficult. In this way, the difficulty of the fast is evenly distributed between Muslims living in the northern and southern hemispheres.
Q: Is it difficult to perform the fast in America?
In many ways, fasting in American society is easier than fasting in areas where the climate is extremely hot. This year at least, the number of daylight hours will be less than when Ramadhan occurs during the spring or summer. In Muslim countries, most people are observing the fast, so there are fewer temptations such as luncheon meetings, daytime celebrations and offers of food from friends. Many American Muslims would prefer a daytime work shift during Ramadhan so that they may break the fast with their families and attend evening prayers.
Q: How can non-Muslim co-workers and friends help someone who is fasting?
Employers, co-workers and teachers can help by understanding the significance of Ramadhan and by showing a willingness to make minor allowances for its physical demands. Special consideration can be given to such things as requests for vacation time, the need for flexible early morning or evening work schedules and lighter homework assignments. It is also very important that Muslim workers and students be given time to attend Eid prayers at the end of Ramadhan. Eid is as important to Muslims as Christmas and Yom Kippur are to Christians and Jews. A small token such as a card (there are Eid cards available from Muslim bookstores) or baked goods given to a Muslim co-worker during Eid ul-Fitr would also be greatly appreciated. Hospital workers should be aware that injections and oral medications might break the fast. Patients should be given the opportunity to decide whether or not their condition exempts them from fasting.
Q: Do people normally lose weight during Ramadhan?
Some people do lose weight, but others may not. It is recommended that meals eaten during Ramadhan be light, but most people can't resist sampling special sweets and foods associated with Ramadhan.
Who Must Fast?
Fasting is compulsory for those who are mentally and physically fit, past the age of puberty, in a settled situation (not traveling), and are sure fasting is unlikely to cause real physical or mental injury.
Exemptions from Fasting (some exemptions are optional)
- Children under the age of puberty (Young children are encouraged to fast as much as they are able.)
- People who are mentally incapacitated or not responsible for their actions
- The elderly
- The sick
- Travelers who are on journeys of more than about fifty miles
- Pregnant women and nursing mothers
- Women who are menstruating
- Those who are temporarily unable to fast must make up the missed days at another time or feed the poor.
Special Events
- Special prayers, called taraweeh, are performed after the daily nighttime prayer.
- Lailat ul-Qadr ("Night of Power" or "Night of Destiny") marks the anniversary of the night on which the Prophet Muhammad first began receiving revelations from God, through the angel Gabriel. Muslims believe Lailat ul-Qadr is one of the last odd-numbered nights of Ramadhan.
Practices
- Making an extra effort to reconnect with God, through excessive worship, patience and good charachter
- Reading the entire Quran during Ramadhan
- Breaking the daily fast with a drink of water and dates
Eid ul-Fitr ("Festival of Fast-Breaking") Prayers at the End of Ramadhan
- Eid begins with special morning prayers on the first day of Shawwal, the month following Ramadhan on the Islamic lunar calendar.
- It is forbidden to perform an optional fast during Eid because it is a time for relaxation.
- During Eid Muslims greet each other with the phrase "taqabbalallah ta'atakum," or "may God accept your deeds" and "Eid Mubarak" (eed-moo-bar-ak), meaning "blessed Eid."
Q: What is Lailat ul-Qadr?
Lailat ul-Qadr ("Night of Power") marks the anniversary of the night on which the Prophet Muhammad first began receiving revelations from God, through the angel Gabriel. An entire chapter in the Quran deals with this night: "We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power: and what will explain to thee what the Night of Power is? The Night of Power is better than a thousand months. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by God's permission, on every errand. Peace!...This until the rise of morn." (Chapter 97) Muslims believe Lailat ul-Qadr is one of the last odd-numbered nights of Ramadhan.

Jame Abu Bakr Siddique Mosque, Scarborough: Ramadan 2010 / 1431 timetable and information
2010 Ramadhan Timetable
Click to view pdf - jpg
by Shaykh Muhammed Saleem Dhorat
In order to maximise our time and perform our ibaadat with ease, we should try to follow a set routine or timetable.
Suhoor
- We must wake up for suhoor as it is a Sunnah of our Rasoolsallallahu alayhi wasallam. He has informed us that the food of suhoor is full of barakah: Eat suhoor, because in it lie great blessings. (Bukhaari, Muslim)
- We should arrange our time for suhoor in such a way that we are also able to perform at least 4 to 8 rakaat of tahajjud together with duaa for about 15 minutes or more.
- Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has said that the duaa in the darkness of the night (after tahajjud) is readily accepted by Allah. (Tirmizi)
Tahajjud
- The ideal way to perform tahajjud with suhoor is to wake up early and perform tahajjud and make duaa before suhoor. Everyone in the house should wake up and engage in ibaadat in the darkness and isolation of their own rooms. Shed tears and ask Allah taaalaa for your needs just as a small child cries and gets his needs fulfilled. Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam has encouraged his followers to cry when making duaa.
- Crying and weeping attracts mercy. Just as a mother who, upon seeing her child crying for a sweet, will succumb at the sight of the childs crying and treat it with mercy, similarly when one sheds tears whilst beseeching his Lord, the Mercy of the Lord will enshroud him.
- After tahajjud and suhoor, we must pray our Fajr Salaat with congregation. Ladies should also perform their obligatory Salaat.
Fajr and Ishraaq
- After Fajr remain engaged in ibaadat till15-20 minutes after sunrise and perform 4 rakaat ishraaq.
Salaatul Duhaa
- Before zawaal, perform Salaatud Dhuhaa (chaasht). Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, There is charity is due to you in lieu of every joint that exists in your body. To say subhaanallah is a form of charity, to say alhamdulillah is also a charity, to say laa ilaaha illallah is also a charity, to command goodness and forbid evil is also a charity, and two rakaat at the time of dhuhaa (chaasht) is sufficient for all this charity (i.e. to compensate the favour of every joint that Allah has given you). (Muslim)
Zuhr
- Perform Zuhr with congregation. If possible, engage in ibaadat for a while and have a short rest with the intention of qayloolah a Sunnah of our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam.
Asr and Iftaar
- Perform Asr. The time between Asr and Maghrib is very valuable especially for du aa. We must make the effort to perform our Asr with congregation and then remain in the masjid until Maghrib. Unfortunately Shaytaan and nafs have deceived us so much that many of us cannot do without food in the masjid at the time of iftaar. My friends, we should try to change our habits and keep the aakhirah in our minds. Shaytaan and nafs will take us home for some food, which should only take a few minutes, and will not let us come to the masjid until just before Maghrib. This is the best part of the day, which we do not value, only because of our desire for food. Rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam said, There are three groups of people whose du aa is not rejected; the fasting person until he breaks the fast........ (Ahmad)
- When Allah has made a promise through His Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam, there is no doubt in the acceptance of these supplications. In spite of this, we find some people whose prayers are not answered. This does not mean that their prayers have been rejected. It is Allah s Favour upon us that should He find that granting us what we ask from Him is in our interest, He grants, otherwise not. Another point to remember is that there are certain conditions in the absence of which they may be rejected. Among these is halaal food and making du aa with attention and concentration. If our hearts and minds are not in our du aa, then they may not be answered. My friends, we must make the habit of bringing a few dates with us at the time of Asr and after Asr we must engage in zikr, tilaawat, tasbeeh, etc. until just 15-20 minutes before Maghrib when we should raise our hands in du aa until Azaan. In this way, everyone will be engrossed in their own ibaadat and we will find that if some of the individuals are crying, others will also get the inclination to do the same. Therefore value this time between Asr and Maghrib and do not waste it in worrying about food. The saintly people are such that not even gold and silver will distract them from the Worship of Allah, let alone food. Their concentration in their du aa is not affected even if heaps of treasure were to be placed before them, whereas, we would not be able to concentrate if only a small morsel was to be put in front of us. I would request my sisters not to spend the time between Asr and Maghrib in the kitchen.
Maghrib
- After performing Maghrib, we shoud perform 6 rak aat of awwaabeen after the two rak aat sunnat and two rak aat nafl of Maghrib. However; those who do not feel inclined to do this, some ulamaa have said that two rak aat sunnat and two rak aat nafl of Maghrib can also become part of the 6 rak aat awwaabeen. Hence, performing only two rak aat after the sunnat and nafl of Maghrib will suffice.
Activities between Maghrib and Ishaa
- During the winter months in Britain there is a lot of time between Maghrib and Ishaa. After food, we should sit the household together and read from Virtues of Ramadhaan compiled by Shaykhul Hadeeth Maulana Muhammad Zakariyyaa for at least 15 minutes, followed by tilaawat, with all the members of the family joining in. This will create a good atmosphere and environment in our homes and at the same time Ramadhaan will pass joyfully with an abundance of barakah in the home, inshaa allah.
Ishaa and Taraweeh
- Thereafter return to the masjid and engage yourself in ibaadat. Take great care not to get involved in any worldly talk. It is very upsetting and disheartening to see people wasting their time in futile talk in the masjid even during the month of Ramadhaan. Try and restrain yourself and remain engaged in ibaadat until Ishaa. The sisters should note that 20 rak aat taraaweeh is sunnat-e-mu akkadah for them too. They must perform taraaweeh after Ishaa.
- After taraaweeh, go straight home. Do not loiter around outside the masjid wasting time. At home, remain in ibaadat until you go to sleep. Sleep with the intention of waking up for tahajjud and suhoor.
Bayaans/Lecutures:
- Apart from the above, we know that in Ramadhaan there are always various programmes taking place in the masjid led by our ulamaa. These are for our own benefit. There are many of us who are very sinful and during this month our hearts are softened and more receptive; by listening to the wise words of our ulamaa the chances of bringing good deeds into practice are greater. Although the month of Ramadhaan is solely for ibaadat, we should try and attend these programmes in the masaajid because by listening to these discourses, inshaa allah, changes will come into our lives for the better. Our hearts are blackened by and full of sins and by listening to these discourses and sitting in the company of the ulamaa and the pious, change will definitely occur in our hearts, inshaa allah.
Allah s Mercy is in abundance throughout the year, but especially during this month. We should yearn in our hearts for this Mercy because we need mercy, blessing and forgiveness fromAllah. We are sinful and in this month we want to win Allah s Attention so that we can become His Beloved Slaves. If we are eager to perform good deeds then, inshaa allah this month will become a month of great blessing for us.
NOTE:
Everyone should try to take rest in order to conserve energy for the compulsory ibaadat. There is no point in remaining in nafl ibaadat and not getting rest, which will result in tiredness and laziness at the time of compulsory Salaat, etc. Hence, every person should fix a convenient time for rest and include it in the timetable set out above.
May Allah accept our efforts and make every moment of this month a means of receiving His Mercy, Blessing and Forgiveness. May we all be granted a place in Jannah. Aameen.

Ramadan Information
Please see the files below for relevant information regarding the start of Ramadan
What is Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and the month of fasting for Muslims. Fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam; the others are confession of faith, five daily prayers, Zakah (almsgiving) and Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca)
Fasting may commence on August 10 or 11, 2010 depending on the moon sighting determined by the Hilal Committee of Toronto.
Why Muslims Fast
Fasting in Ramadan is a main pillar of Islam that helps Muslim grow closer to the One God, Allah. According to the Qur’an “Fasting is prescribed for you as it was prescribed to those before you, so that you may learn self-restraint”. Fasting, which is recognized for its health, spiritual and psychological benefits, is considered by Muslims as a means to improve their moral characters and provides an opportunity for a spiritual renewal.
Purpose of Fasting
The real purpose of fasting is not to make us hungry and thirsty, or to deprive us some of our comfort and conveniences but to be conscious of Allah. It is to do one's best to live by His commands and to avoid His prohibitions, fear of Allah, worship of Allah, sincerity in faith, and avoid the disobedience to Allah. Fasting is an invisible act. Only Allah and the person who is fasting know whether he or she is fasting or not. Fasting teaches how to control and discipline our desires. During fasting we learn how to say "no" to things that are otherwise permissible and good, but are forbidden during fasting. When one learns how to say "no" to that which is generally permissible, then one can easily control oneself to avoid that which is forbidden. Through fasting we taste—to some extent—the pain and suffering of those who are poor and destitute. Fasting teaches empathy and sympathy, and it takes away some of our selfishness and self-centeredness.
How Muslims Fast
Muslims fast from early dawn to sunset every day throughout the month (approximately 14 hours a day). The fast requires Muslims to abstain from food, drink, marital relations and ill-conduct during the fast.
Who Fasts
Fasting in Ramadan is compulsory on all physically and mentally healthy and mature Muslims. Those exempted from fasting are the sick, old, pregnant and menstruating women and travellers. Pregnant and menstruating women and travellers make up the missed days by fasting at a later time.
Typical day during the Month
The day of fasting begins with an early morning meal before dawn and ends at sunset. The evening activities include the traditional breaking of the fast usually with dates and water, the sunset prayer followed by dinner (IFTAR). Muslims would then go to the mosque for congregational prayers in which at least one-thirtieth of the Qur’an is recited. The congregation would have listened to the recitation of the complete Qur’an by the end of the month.
End of Ramadhan
Ramadan will depart on September 8 or 9, 2010 depending on the citing of the moon. The celebration marking the end of Ramadan is called Eid-ul-Fitr, one of the major festivals in Islam and will be celebrated September 9 or 10, 2010 depending on the moon sighting.

The meaning of "i'tikaaf" during Ramadan
The meaning of "i'tikaaf" and its ruling
I'tikaaf is for a person to confine himself to the masjid in obedience to Allah (Subhaanahu wa Ta'aala) so as to separate himself from the people and free himself (from the chores of daily life) to exert himself in worshiping Allah. This can take place in any masjid, whether it is a masjid in which people gather for the Jumu'ah prayer or not. However, it is better (to perform the i'tikaaf) in a masjid in which the people gather for the Jumu'ah prayer so that one performing i'tikaaf is not forced to leave the masjid (in which he is doing i'tikaaf) to go to another masjid for the Jumu'ah prayer.
The conditions of i'tikaaf
I'tikaaf is prescribed in a masjid in which the congregational prayer is established. If the person in i'tikaaf is from those upon whom Friday prayers are obligatory and the length of his i'tikaaf includes a Friday, then it is better to be in a masjid in which Friday prayers are established. Fasting is not (a) necessary (part of it). The sunnah is that he does not visit the sick during his i'tikaaf and that he does not answer the invitation, nor fulfil the needs of his family. He should not witness the funeral (by following it) and he should not go to work outside the masjid. This is due to what has been authenticated on the authority of 'Aa.ishah (radhi-yallaahu `anhaa) that she said: ((the sunnah for he who is in i'tikaaf is that he does not visit the sick nor witness a funeral, nor touch a woman (his wife), nor have intercourse with her nor leave to fulfill a need except that which is necessary)).
When a person in i'tikaaf leaves his i'tikaaf
The person in i'tikaaf leaves i'tikaaf once Ramadan finishes and it finishes as the sun sets the night prior to `Eid. He enters i'tikaaf at sunset (prior) to the 20th day of Ramadan. This is so as the last ten (nights) of Ramadan start from sunset of the night (prior) to the 20th day of Ramadan and ends at sunset of the night (prior) to `Eid.
