In a surprising turn of events, Ramadan, the holy month of fasting and spiritual reflection, has shifted to the winter season after more than a decade. This significant change marks the first time since 2007 that the Holy month has transitioned to the colder months, leaving many in awe of the unusual sight. It’s like Ramadan decided to take a different route!
Witnessing Ramadan during the winter months is a rare occurrence, captivating observers with its unique blend of spirituality and charm. Families gather for sehri meals in their cozy homes, while the peaceful winter nights of the season add a special touch to taraweeh and iftar.
Predictions around Ramadan
Looking ahead, experts predict that this trend of Ramadan will continue being in winters for the next 13 years. The Holy month of fasting will fall in the winter season until 2037 before going back to the summer months. This prolonged period of winter fasting presents opportunities for Muslims worldwide, offering a chance to experience fasting in a different light.
One of the most amazing part of this shift is the reduction in fasting hours during the years 2031 and 2032, where the duration of the fast will be approximately 10 hours. 10 HOURS ONLY!
Also, the year 2030 holds particular importance, as the Holy month will occur twice within the same year. This rare phenomenon, known as a double Ramadan, will see Muslims observe fasting for a total of 38 days.
As the Muslim community navigates this season shift in the Holy Month, people are encouraged to make the most out of it.
