BurqaThis is a traditional full-size Saudi style double layered burqa. The burqa is worn over the hijab, and a burqa screen can be pulled up over the head (as pictured) for better vision. When the screen is down you can see out, but no one can see in.

Ramadan and Eid al-FitrThe month of fasting
By Holly Hartman
![Page 36: Muslim and Arab Americans: Diverse Minorities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/56816092550346895dcfb678/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
For more than a billion Muslims, Ramadan is a time of prayer, fasting, and charity.
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar. Islam uses a lunar calendar—that is, each month begins with the sighting of the new moon. Because the lunar calendar is about 11 days shorter than the solar calendar used elsewhere, Islamic holidays "move" each year. In 2005 Ramadan will begin on Oct. 5.
![Page 37: Muslim and Arab Americans: Diverse Minorities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/56816092550346895dcfb678/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Why this Month?Muslims believe that during the month of
Ramadan, Allah revealed the first verses of the Qur'an, the holy book of Islam. Around 610 A.D., a caravan trader named Muhammad took to wandering the desert near Mecca (in today's Saudi Arabia) while thinking about his faith. One night a voice called to him from the night sky. It was the angel Gabriel, who told Muhammad he had been chosen to receive the word of Allah. In the days that followed, Muhammad found himself speaking the verses that would be transcribed as the Qur'an.
![Page 38: Muslim and Arab Americans: Diverse Minorities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/56816092550346895dcfb678/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
At many mosques during Ramadan, about one thirtieth of the Qur'an is recited each night in prayers known as tarawih. In this way, by the end of the month the complete scripture will have been recited.
![Page 39: Muslim and Arab Americans: Diverse Minorities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/56816092550346895dcfb678/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
FastingMuslims practice sawm, or fasting, for the
entire month of Ramadan. This means that they may eat or drink nothing, including water, while the sun shines. Fasting is one of the Five Pillars (duties) of Islam. As with other Islamic duties, all able Muslims take part in sawm from about age twelve.
![Page 40: Muslim and Arab Americans: Diverse Minorities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/56816092550346895dcfb678/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
During Ramadan in the Muslim world, most restaurants are closed during the daylight hours. Families get up early for suhoor, a meal eaten before the sun rises. After the sun sets, the fast is broken with a meal known as iftar. Iftar usually begins with dates and sweet drinks that provide a quick energy boost.
![Page 41: Muslim and Arab Americans: Diverse Minorities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/56816092550346895dcfb678/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Fasting serves many purposes. While they are hungry and thirsty, Muslims are reminded of the suffering of the poor. Fasting is also an opportunity to practice self-control and to cleanse the body and mind. And in this most sacred month, fasting helps Muslims feel the peace that comes from spiritual devotion as well as kinship with fellow believers.
![Page 42: Muslim and Arab Americans: Diverse Minorities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/56816092550346895dcfb678/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Ramadan ends with the festival of Eid al-Fitr, which in 2005 occurs on November 4. Literally the "Festival of Breaking the Fast," Eid al-Fitr is one of the two most important Islamic celebrations (the other occurs after the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca). At Eid al-Fitr people dress in their finest clothes, adorn their homes with lights and decorations, give treats to children, and enjoy visits with friends and family.
![Page 43: Muslim and Arab Americans: Diverse Minorities](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022050806/56816092550346895dcfb678/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
A sense of generosity and gratitude colors these festivities. Although charity and good deeds are always important in Islam, they have special significance at the end of Ramadan. As the month draws to a close, Muslims are obligated to share their blessings by feeding the poor and making contributions to mosques.
