Ramadan in Dubai 2012

Some dates for your diary

Some will need dates to break there fast



Quote:
The holy month of Ramadan is one of the most important and reflective times in the Islamic calendar and commemorates the revelation of the Holy Quran.

Date: Friday, 20th July - Saturday, 18th August 2012

Duration: 30 days

Audience: General Public





Ramadan is a significant month in the Islamic calendar and in Dubai, the period is marked by a host of Ramadan-related activities. The Dubai Events and Promotions Establishment organises numerous events during the month and the retail sector witnesses brisk business. Emarati hospitality and traditions are also very evident during this month as iftars are hosted across Dubai and residents of different nationalities come together to share the spirit of Ramadan. The Establishment, along with its partners from other government departments, will be organising family-oriented events inspired by the holy month. Planned activities will emphasize on the spiritual side of this occasion.

Ramadan lessons for UAE's expats





Quote:
British expat Mark Aubery, who attended the course, told 7DAYS: “The workshop was very informative. Coming from the UK, I had been told different things, and when I attended the workshop, it just blew my mind away. A UAE national addressed us, teaching us about tolerance, how to be considerate. On the whole it taught me what Ramadan is actually all about.

To register for the free workshop, visit www.eton.ac or call 800 ETON (8003866).

The holy month will begin for most Islamic countries on July 21, meaning long hours of sunlight and very hot conditions, making it important for those who are fasting to pay attention to their health.

Ramadan expected to start on July 20

Quote:
Astronomer says Ramadan may start on July 20
By Habib Toumi, Bureau Chief
Published: 00:00 July 13, 2012


Manama: Ramadan is expected to start on July 20, a Kuwaiti astronomer has said.

“According to calculations, the first day of the month will be on Friday, July 20,” Salah Al Ajairi said. “Muslims will fast for 15 hours and 18 minutes on the first day and the fasting period will decrease gradually until it reaches 14 hours and 33 minutes on the 30th and last day,” he said, quoted by Al Aan news site.

The lunar month is decided in most Muslim countries upon the sighting of the crescent, and not on astronomical calculations. Most Muslim countries follow a lunar calendar and adopt the premise that fasting should begin when one new moon is sighted and end when the next is sighted.

However, Muslims have disagreed whether the sighting should be with the naked eye or based on astronomical calculations.

During Ramadan, Muslims abstain from food, drink and sensual pleasures from sunrise to sunset and focus instead on their relationship with God.

The month is used by devout Muslims to donate to charity and increase benevolent work. However, the authorities in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, keen on avoiding misuses of financial donations, often warn charitable trusts against collecting cash during Ramadan.

Religious groups regularly report an increase in the number of people who embrace Islam during the month.

Last year, a Kuwaiti association said that 195 people embraced Islam in the first five days of Ramadan in Kuwait.

“The number of foreigners who declared that they embraced Islam was 195 in the first five days of the sacred month,” Jamal Al Shatti, the head of the Committee to Promote Islam, said.

“We believe that many more people will announce their conversion before the end of the month,” he said.
