How To Fast Easy In Ramadan?

The Holy Ramadan and the prevention of occupational hazards

It is better for Muslims that Ramadan (Holy month) following the lunar calendar, does not have fixed dates, each year begins about 11 days earlier than the previous one hottest summer.

Ramadan Mubarak

Supposed to be Ramadan has started 13 April this year 2021, a month Which makes the obligation not to eat or drink anything from sunrise to sunset (a challenge) as a show of piety to feel closer to Allah.

Ramadan is the second most followed holiday in the world after Christmas, 25% of the world’s population practice it.

The Ramadan fast as we see is rigorous, especially during the long summer days, when Muslims can go 16 hours without eating. This tension could be extremely harmful to people with certain health conditions, but the Quran itself establishes clear exemptions for these types of cases, indicating that no one puts their health at risk by observing the fast

(for days few in number. However, should any one of you be sick or on a journey, then (he should fast) a number of other days (equal to the missed ones); and those who have the strength, (still, they do not opt for fasting,) on them there is a fidyah (compensation), that is the feeding of a poor person. Allah intends (to provide) ease for you and does not intend (to create) hardship for you.)

Quran 2: 184–185
