What is the name of the ninth month in islamic calendar?
Ramadan or Ramadhan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, and the month in which the Quran was revealed. Fasting during the month of Ramadan is one of the Five Pillars of Islam. The Muslims don't eat during the daylight hours in Ramadan, unless they are ill, pregnant, or diabetic, breastfeeding, or traveling. The followers of the Islam believe that Muhammad, the central figure of their faith and the main prophet, received the first revelation during Ramadan. It's not obligatory for children to fast during the month, but some of them practice fasting a little to get prepared for their future participation. Another Ramadan tradition is giving charity.

Lucky guess. I was in Jerusalem in 2015 during Ramadan and as Christians, we were allowed to visit their Dome. Jews, Christians, and Muslims are all children of Abraham. Why hate your family members? Also all humans! Bad.

It’s a shame that racists and bigots have to spoil an innocent quiz club.

i'm thinking some people should be blocked from being able to participate in these games.

Some of the Muslim Woman, I know, during Ramadan support food banks and serve food for the poor of Oklahoma City. They are focused on Service and Charity.

Peggy Tinsley, why don't you go home too. After all, your forebears were also immigrants and did far more 'damage' to the native population then moslems have. In the US you are 99.5% more likely to be killed by a fellow white American than by an immigrant. Here in NZ, the worst killing attrocity was recently done by a white Australian immigrant who killed o er 51 people who came here to escape famine and war.

Myrna Rosen, I'm pretty sure "blocking" is NOT the best answer.

littledick, it's a lunar calendar, shorter than ours, the Gregorian calendar. So dates change each year. Ramadan can occur at any time of the Gregorian calendar. The Jewish calendar is also lunar, but adds a month every few years in order to avoid this problem, like having Sukkot, a harvest festival, in winter.

ninakamwene, Jews aren't allowed in the Dome, which was built above our Temple.

The only name I recognize, so easy to get correct. Had I been asked that question without any alternatives, I would have gotten it wrong. The 9th month? Then their calendar must start at a different time than ours, since I've seen Ramadan observed usually around May. Interesting. One cannot eat until one cannot see the difference between a white and a black thread. Asked a Muslim once, what if he lived in Anchorage, Alaska, where the daylight period is much longer than it is in Mecca? That means he'd be fasting in daylight for much of the time. Answer: he'd go by Mecca time.The thread analogy would no longer hold water.
