Then I wouldn't have to fast, because I'm addicted to cookies. That is a medical excuse right?
A: What do you know about Ramadan?
B: Almost nothing. It is a Muslim holiday or something.
but I don't know why they are celebrating or what they do on this day. Why are you asking?
A: Yussef said to me that he can't come to dinner on Thursday, because he has to fast.
He doesn't eat anything or drink anything as long as you can see the light of the sun.
B: Wow. I don't think I could do that. I eat two or three cookies every half an hour.
A: Yes, you really have a problem with that.
Maybe you should ask for addiction therapy in order to come down from the addiction, but that is another topic.
I asked Yussef if he could come on Wednesday or Friday,
but he said that won't work either, because he still has to fast, because it is still Ramadan.
B: Maybe Ramadan isn't just a holiday, but several holidays like Hanukah.
A: Now I am really curious. I'm looking online in order to collect more information about it.
B: Good idea.
A: In Wikipedia it says: "Ramadan is the fasting month of Muslims and the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar.
In it the Koran was revealed according to Islamic point of view.
B: Hmmm. What did you say? I was playing Subway Surfers and didn't listen.
A: I said that Ramadan is the second holiest Islamic holiday after the feast of sacrifice.
It is not only a holiday, but also a month in which Muslims fast in order to celebrate the revelation of the Koran by Mohammed.
B: And when does Ramadan begin?
A: Already last week. From May 26th to June 24th.
B: But you said that Ramadan was a month.
Why are they celebrating in May and June?
Why not from the first of May until the end of May?
A: They follow the lunar calendar.
This calendar is eleven days shorter than our calendar.
Therefore they celebrate Ramadan next year eleven days earlier.
In 2018 it begins on May 15th. In 2019 it begins on May 5th and so on.
B: 15 minus 11 makes 4.
Why not the fourth of May 2019?
A: The months are obviously not the same as ours.
Ramadan lasts 29 or 30 days.
B: They have to fast 29 or 30 days as long as they can see the sun?
But Yussef's mother is pregnant and his brother is only four years old.
Do they also have to fast? How can they do that?
A: They don't have to fast.
There are a few reasons why some Muslims don't have to fast during Ramadan.
B: Then I wouldn't have to fast, because I'm addicted to cookies.
That is a medical excuse, right?
A: No. That is a stupidity of a man who doesn't want to give up his cookies.
B: Yussef fasts during Ramadan, but are there also celebrations or something?
A: He told me that he eats dinner every evening with his family during Ramadan.
They talk with each other and are thankful for God's grace.
B: God? I thought he was called Allah.
A: Allah is just Arabic for "God".
B: So, Yussef isn't allowed to go to dinner with us, because he isn't allowed to eat or drink anything during Ramadan.
Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar in which the Koran was written.
Couldn't we just eat dinner a little later and then Yussef could come along?
A: I think we could do that. I will call him up and ask if we could meet at the restaurant around 9:30.
