not really.
what is it then?
In Islam, Ramadan is a month which is considered the most sacred in Islam. For us Muslims, this month is very important, as it was dedicated to the worship of God, the multiplication of good deeds and abstention from committing bad deeds.

Thank you so much @eintagsfliege
thanksss mulany!!!! i wanted to ask everybody a question who does the ramadan. actually two questions sorry!!! π
1οΈβ£ My friends at school said that with the Ramadan you can only eat before the sunrise and after the sun is down. But there are exceptions right? For example we had important tests yesterday and today and some of my friends had water to help also concentrate and they said it is allowed in special cases. Can maybe somebody tell more about that?
2οΈβ£ Is the Ramadan difficult for you? Most tell me that the first days are the most difficult and after it you feel better because you are more used to it. And how do you celebrate the Ramadan BEFORE the sugar festival? One of my best friends here already told about super nice decorations and things that her family bought. What are your traditions about it?
Thanks very much (@Esma-Nur and @Sabri_KC i will not make the salaam mistake again so it is sukran right π π)

To begin with, please note that I am not a scholar, and that other people more qualified than me will be able to answer your question. π
Indeed π Ramadan, among other things, includes fasting, which means that Muslims cannot eat or drink from sunrise to sunset. In Islam, fasting is obligatory for any Muslim who is pubescent and of sound mind.
And yes, you are also right, there are exceptions. During Ramadan, some people are not required to fast. It's especially children who haven't reached puberty, elderly people who cannot fast, women who are menstruating, or sick people for whom fasting may be a risk.
Normally, it is not permissible to break your fast for exams. But since your friends seem quite young, I think it should not be a problem. π But when they grow up, it may be mandatory for them. Since I grew up, I myself had several exams during Ramadan, and it did not hinder my concentration. π but it depends on each person's abilities.

Ramadan used to be difficult for me when I was younger, but over the years I've got used to it π Today, I only find the first day a bit complicated, because you have to get used to it. I often have a headache the first day, and it disappears when you rest in the evening. Fasting makes me realize that many people in the world do not have enough to eat every day, that's why sharing is very important during ramadan. It also helps to remember God in his power, because in Islam, compared to humans, God does not eat.
Usually, Muslims call the 'sugar festival' by its Arabic name = 'Eid el Fitr'. It's a lovely day because we are happy to have managed to complete Ramadan and fulfill ourselves as Muslims, and become better people everyday. π Traditionnally, everyone goes for the Eid prayer at the mosque, and when it is over, everyone has their own way of celebrating Eid. People go home and gather the whole family, or they go out and have a big picnic, or they go for a walk, and more... But families always get together π. Some houses can feature decorations like balloons or lanterns, and people often eat cakes and sweets, hence why it has the surname of 'sugar festival' π
But hey Yue you know a lot of things ! Great job! π @Sarahsalah27 @Fleurke @Esma-Nur do you agree ? π
