Ramadan je med najpomembenjsimi muslimanskimi prazniki. Muslimanski koledar se ravna po Luninih menah, zato se začetek ramadana vsako leto v primerjavi z gregorijanskim koledarjem premakne za 11 dni. Ramadan se konča po 30 dneh, ko nastopi bajram. Ker pa začetek ramadana sovpada z videnjem prvega krajca, prihaja do vsakoletnih nesoglasij muslimanskih narodov, kdaj naj bi se praznovanje res začelo.

Med svetim postnim mesecem muslimani med sončnim vzhodom in sončnim zahodom ne smejo jesti, piti, kaditi in seksati. Ramadan naj bi bil za muslimane čas molitve in razmišljanja. Po islamskem izročilu je nadangel Gabrijel pred približno 1400 leti med ramadanom preroku Mohamedu razodel 114 koranskih sur.

Tridnevno slavje ob koncu posta je prekrasno!
Poleg ramadana so preostali štirje stebri islamske vere še izpovedovanje vere, pet molitev na dan, davek revnim in romanje v Meko.

Kako jaz vidim in dozivim Ramadan?

V poslovnem smislu, je v casu Ramadana zelo mirno. Vecinoma ljudje po dnevi ne delajo. Tisti, ki delajo so v vecini utrujeni, brez energije. Nikogar ni mozno dobiti na telefon... vse se upocasni! To seveda ne velja za turizem. Morda se malo ze pozna ampak ni take razlike, kot na primer, ce delas za lokalno podjetje, ki nima veze s turizmom.

Ko gre soncek pocasi dol, potem pa se stvari zacnejo premikati... Ljudje hitijo kupit hrano za "eftar" (zajtrk), an drugem koncu se kregajo med seboj, ker so zivcni in lacni, taxisti norijo domov, delavci zapirajo trgovine, bencinske crpalke,... Med tem ko vsi jedo, so ulice prazne, nihce nikjer ne trobi, vse je zaprto (skoraj vse)

Zvecer pa je slika drugacna...vsi so veseli, dobrovoljni, spociti in siti!

Za ljudi, ki so zaposleni v turizmu in postijo, je Ramadan tezak mesec, a vendar tako narekuje vera in se ne da nic spremeniti.

Nekateri se Ramadana ne drzijo in za njih zivljenje poteka normalno

Ekskurzije v vecini potekajo normalno v casu Ramadana, razen Kaira, kjer vcasih malo skrajsajo izlet ali pa pocakajo, do eftarja in nato nadaljujejo program...predvsem obisk Khan El Khalilija v casu Ramadana je noro
Morda se vam lahko zgodi, da se bo sofer ustavil in pojedel svoj eftar in boste nato nadaljevali pot nazaj v hotel... Veliko ljudi lahko vidite, ko jedo kar na ulici na tleh ampak je to cisto normalno

Kar mi je zelo vsec je to, da so ljudje zelo solidarni v casu Ramadana in pomagajo tistim, ki nimajo.

Še nekaj o ramadanu:

- Mohamed je dejal, da v trenutku ko se začne ramadan, se vrata v nebesa odprejo, v pekel pa zaprejo.

- muslimani naj bi v času ramadana vsaj enkrat prebrali celoten koran. Zanimivo je to, da ga ima vsak v avtu na armaturi, samo da je nekje zastoj ali da se za trenutek kje ustavi, že ima v roki koran in ga veselo prebira. V času ramadana skoraj na vsakem vogalu zagledaš vernika kako zavzeto ga bere. Nekateri imajo koran v velikosti A5 formata, drugi miniaturnega, žepnega. Tisti, ki še ne znajo brati arabsko, morajo v času ramadana poslušati koran na CD-ju.

- Večerna, zelo pozna molitev v času ramadana se imenuje TAHAJJUD.

- Zadnjih 10 dni ramadana je za muslimane najpomembnejših. V tem času se morajo še posebej izogibati grehom, še več darovati, odpuščati drug drugemu, prositi za odpuščanje, poleg tega da ne smejo imeti fizičnih stikov, ne smejo nasprotnega spola niti gledati. V tem času morajo biti tudi popolnoma predani Alahu, več je molitev, manj ali sploh nič spanja, tisti najbolj zagriženi naj bi večino časa preživeli v mošeji in tam tudi jedli in spali.

- Ramadan se zaključi po 30 dneh. 29. dan se muslimani po sončnem zahodu zberejo in čakajo na naznanilo, da je ramadana uradno konec (EID-AL FITR). Ko ta dan opazijo luno, pomeni da je ramadan zaključen naslednji dan (EID). Če pa lune tisti dan ni, traja ramadan še en dan, na ta dan pa veliko mojilo.

- EID se praznuje z molitvijo in ceremonijami, igrami, obdarovanjem z malenkostmi. Čeprav EID-AL FITR traja le en dan, so trgovine, šole in pisarne zaprte še najmanj dva dni, ponavadi 3.

- če se verniki v času ramadana kak dan na kakršenkoli način pregrešijo, morajo to nadoknaditi do naslednjega ramadana, oz. čimprej.

Lani sem bila v času ramadana v Sharmu in v Kairu, res lepo, krasno....
Super doživetje......Pri nas še za božič ni takega vzdušja, stavbe po mestih okrašene z lampiončki, lučkami......vse razsvetljeno! Kairo polno, ful nabito z ljudmi in promet še bolj gost kot običajno, NORO.... Zdelo se mi je da so ljudje vsi nekje v oblakih, vsi zasanjani, razneženi, prijazni, no, ne znam opisati....z svojo energijo so te kar posrkali vase, zdelo se mi je , da kar čutim z njimi, čeprav nimam nobene veze in pojma o ramadanu... V turističnih krajih oz. v sharmu ga sicer nisem tako močno občutila, se pa čuti... letos ga bom ravno zamudila......No, saj enkrat je bilo dovolj...
Dobra izkušnja, ni kaj....

Since Ramadan is considered to be the most joyful month of the whole year, children also have their share of fun. The "fanoos" or lantern is a must for every kid. These are traditionally made of tin and colored glass, with a candle inside. More modern examples are battery operated, but really lack the spirit (though each year there seems to be a trend to see who can produce the most snazzy fanoos). All mosques and streets during the whole month are full of colored lights in a festival fashion, and in the past, children played in the streets with their lanterns, singing "wahawy ya wahawy". This tradition is still practiced, though rarely now in the streets, except in middle class or poor neighborhoods, and in the countryside.
With the introduction of TV in the 1960’s, traditions changed. TV transmissions lasts 24 hours a day, and the programs include too many new serials and movies. More than half of the serials produced by the Egyptian TV are broadcast during Ramadan for the first time. another traditional program is the "fawazeer", which is a daily riddle usually broadcast during a comedy or musical show. The family is usually gathered around the TV for long hours, if they do not go for prayers. Nuts are consumed as a snack, together with a traditional drink "qamar el-deen1" which is made of apricot. Most people prefer to spend at least the first day in an extended family reunion, gathering in the home of the grand parents’.

Time change - welcome Ramadan
Every year the change from summer to winter time arrives earlier. The reason for this year's early time change on August 28 rests with the early start to Ramadan. Unfortunately this early start to Ramadan is resulting in some "clock confusion" in the Middle East.
Actually since the official clock change would have been during the fasting month, the adjustment was instead scheduled before the start of Ramadan. The switch put Egypt two hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time and at least an hour later than our neighbours. The creeping-up of the clock change reflects the complications of the lunar Islamic calendar.
Ramadan comes around 11 days earlier each year. Currently, that brings it forward into the long, hot days of summer, making it particularly tough for Muslims, who abstain from food and drink from sunrise to sunset during the holy month. The decision enables Egyptians to have the "iftar" evening meal, breaking the fast, an hour earlier.
Jordan and Lebanon will switch the clocks back as usual by the end of October. Syria falls back in late September, while Saudi Arabia and Iraq don't change their clocks.
Another issue is schools. Ramadan always is seen as a disruption for classes: Children often start trying to adhere to the fast in their early teenage years, and studying during the fast is difficult.
Last year, Ramadan began in mid-September, the same time as schools started, giving a rocky beginning to the school year.
This year, Egypt's Education Ministry pushed back the start of school about a week to Sept. 20, in order to reduce the amount of time that students must be in class during the fast. However, many students are complaining on blogs and internet chat rooms and proposing that the school opening should wait until the end of Ramadan.
Egypt's Central Bank announced that banking hours during the holy month will be down to just four hours a day — from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm.
Ramadan, which commemorates the revelation of the first verses of the Quran to the Prophet Mohamed, begins and ends with the sighting of the new moon. Particularly in Egypt, it's a festive month, with families and friends gathering for sometimes lavish iftar meals with special Ramadan delicacies. The month ends with the Eid Al-Fitr, a three-day holiday celebrating the breaking of the fast.

A typical day during Ramadan
You get back from work, take a nap and wake up by iftar time. Then you feast on all the types of food available. The food fills you up, you feel heavy and lethargic with only one option: veging on the sofa with the remote control in hand. It’s almost midnight and you’ve done nothing in the past few hours but watch one TV show after another. It sounds like a typical day in Ramadan, huh?

Ramadan has been associated in our minds with TV — a fact that got TV channels and advertisers battling for viewers’ attention at least a month before Ramadan actually starts. Newspapers are full of advertisements of soap operas and new TV shows to be screened during the holy month. The amount of productions in this month can be equal to the total production all over the year.

So, what will this month bring? Perhaps more than previous years, this Ramadan’s TV slate offers a humongous amount of star-studded dramas, talk shows and sitcoms competing for airtime and Egyptian viewers’ attention.

The success of “Tamer & Shawkeya” and last year’s “Ragel we Sit Sitat” (A Man and Six Women) encouraged studio executives to venture more into American-style sitcoms. This year sees four new sitcoms debuting next month.

The most anticipated of the bunch is “Al Eyada” (The Clinic), directed by Amr Arafa and starring Edward and Basma. Set in a shabby little clinic, the series features guest appearances from the country’s biggest film stars, including Ahmed Ezz and Hany Ramzy, among others.

“Kwafeer Ashwaq” (Ashwaq Beauty Salon) revolves around Ashwaq (Mimi Gamal), a beauty salon manager and her quirky customers.


“Sherif we Nos” (Sherif and a Half) tells the story of an Egyptian family forced to move abroad and the obstacles they face. Sherif Ramzy, Randa El Behiery, Dorra and Ahmed Rateb star.

“Café Techeeno” is a straight “Cheers” rip-off about a coffee shop owner (Khaled El Nabawy), his love interest (Donia Samir Ghanem) and his loyal, regular clients. Apart from “The Clinic,” neither the premise of these sitcoms nor talent involved looks promising.

(Copy/paste mojega zgornjega posta)

Potem je najbrž res konec v torek, ja. Ne vem, ker kogarkoli vprašam ne ve točno. So pa rekli, da menda ponedeljek ali torek, res je. In kot si napisala, vsi egipčani grejo domov, k svojim družinam. Uuuuu, kako lepo!
