RAMADAN AND HALAL FOOD LAWS
Ramadan is the 9th month in the Islamic calendar. It is when Muslims observe Sawm, one of the Five Pillars of Islam. During Ramadan, a Muslim has to fast during the daylight hours for the whole month. Before the fast starts (at dawn), a Muslim makes a statement of intention:O God, I intend to fast today in obedience to your command and only to seek your pleasure. Sawm is a very important part of Islam because it was during Ramadan that the Holy Qur'an was first revealed to the Prophet Mohammad. By fasting, Muslims are able to practice self- discipline and prepare themselves for any suffering that they may have to face. It is also spiritual training and a way of submitting to the will of Allah. It is a time of prayer and good deeds, when one can do positive extra activities which bring a sense of fulfilment and spiritual reward – ‘Zakat’ (charity) is also involved. Some cities make large evening meals for hundreds of people. Some Muslims endeavour to read the whole Qur’an during the month of Ramadan. The Islamic calendar is lunar, which means that each new month begins with the appearance of the new moon Therefore the date of Ramadan varies annually. This can mean that it can sometimes take place in summer,
