DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaumul Ahad, 29th day of Jumaada Al-Thani (Sunday 23rd of February, 2020).
LETS CONTINUE WITH OUR TOPIC ON DAYS, MONTHS AND ISLAMIC EVENTS AND DATES. Bismillahir Rahmaanir Raheem
The names of Islamic months are:
1) Muharram, 2) Safar, 3) Rabi al-Awwal. 4) Rabi al-Thani. 5) Jumada al-Awwal. 6) Jumada al-Thani, 7) Rajab, 8) Sha'abaan. 9) Ramadaan
10) Shawwaal. 11) Dhul-Qa'adah and 12) Dhul-Hijjah.
The Islamic calendar (known as the Hijri calendar) is a purely lunar calendar. It contains 12 months that are based on the motion of the moon. Because 12 synodic months are only 12 x 29.53= 354.36 days, the Islamic calendar is consistently shorter than a solar year, and therefore shifts approximately 11 days every year with respect to the Gregorian calendar.
Eid ul-Fitr (Festival of Breaking the Fast). This holiday commemorates the completion of Ramadan and lasts for three days during which Muslims celebrate with special prayers, sweets, presents for children, and community festivities.
Eid-ul-Adha (Festival of the Sacrifice). This holiday takes place on the third day of Hajj and lasts for four days. The holiday commemorates Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son, who was miraculously replaced by a lamb. The holiday is celebrated much like Eid ul-Fitr with the addition that Muslims sacrifice a lamb, goat or cow and share the meat with friends, relatives, and the needy. To be continued in shaa Allah. May Allah keep protecting us all. Aameen.
