Ramadan is the name of the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. During Ramadan, all observant Muslims observe the Fast of Ramadan between dawn (fajr), and sunset (maghrib).
During Ramadan evenings, Muslims eat small meals and visit with friends and family. It is a time of worship and contemplation. A time to strengthen family and community ties.
Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid al-Fitr
Ramadan in 2006 will start on Sunday, the 24th of September and will continue for 30 days until Tuesday, the 24th of October.

Eid al-Fitr (also spelled Eid ul-Fitr) marks the end of the month of Ramadan, the month of fasting. The word Fitr means "to break", which symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period and of all evil habits. Eid al-Fitr in 2006 is on Tuesday, the 24th of October

Festival of Sacrifice) One of the two main Islamic festivals (the other is 'Id al-Fitr), this festival falls on the 10th day of the lunar month of Zul-Hijja and is the concluding act of pilgrimage to Makkah. In commemoration of Abraham's faith, sheep, goats and camels are offered to God, and the meat is distributed to the poor and needy. 'Id al-Adha is observed whether or not one is on pilgrimage.Eid al-Adha in 2006 is on Sunday, the 31st of December

by the way the festival of sacrifice (i.e. kurban bayramlar) is not until next year

Oh no, Ramadan starts in September??!? Can anyone tell me, how should I behave at university during the Rmadan? Can I eat when I want? I'm a little scared, because I've heard that last year one student was killed by other students because he smoke a cigaret at the university during the Ramadan and they didn't like it. I'm going to the same university where it happened...(btw I'm going to go to Malatya)

Seker Bayrami will be celebrated on 23-24-25 October 2006, and 12-13-14 October 2007, and 30 September-1-2 October 2008.

Kurban Bayrami will be celebrated on 31 December 2006-1-2-3 January 2007, and 20-21-22-23 December 2007, and 8-9-10-11 December 2008.

What is "şeker bayramı"?



I know what is it, but I think it is some weird... Why did we call it as "şeker"? It is originally Ramazan Bayramı.

Some people says that because there are many candy(şeker) consumption in Ramazan Bayramı. I think it is some funny, because: we consume the meat much in Kurban Bayramı, so should we have a new name for that like: "Et Bayramı" (meat fest)?

I prefer Ramazan Bayramı because they are religious days and we should be more fair about them.
