ʻO Ramadan, kekahi o nā mahina ma ka kalena Islam, he ʻāpana nō hoʻi ia o nā kalena o ka poʻe ʻArabia kahiko. Loaʻa ka inoa ʻana o Ramadan mai ke kumu ʻArabia ʻo "ar-ramad," ʻo ia hoʻi ka wela wela.

Hoʻokē ʻai ka poʻe Mahometa i kēlā mahina ma ke ʻano he ala e hoʻomanaʻo ai i ka hōʻike ʻana o ka Quran.

Pehea e mālama ʻia ai ka Ramadan
I ka wā o ka Ramadan, ʻo ka pahuhopu o nā Mahometa ka hoʻokō ʻana i ka pōmaikaʻi uhane a hoʻokumu i kahi pilina ikaika me Allah. Hana lākou i kēia ma ka pule ʻana a me ka heluhelu ʻana i ka Koran, e hana ana i kā lākou mau hana me ke aloha ʻole a me ka hoʻomana, kahi ʻē aʻe mai nā lono, nā wahaheʻe, a me nā hakakā.

ʻOkoʻa:
Ma loko o ka mahina, he mea pono no nā Mahometa a pau ka hoʻokē ʻai ma waena o ka puka ʻana o ka lā a me ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā, koe wale nō ka poʻe maʻi, ka poʻe hāpai, ka poʻe huakaʻi, ka poʻe ʻelemakule, a i ʻole ka poʻe e hoʻomau ana i ka menstruation. Hiki ke hoʻopau ʻia nā lā i hala ʻole ai ka hoʻokē ʻai ʻana i ke koena o ka makahiki, i ka manawa hoʻokahi a i ʻole i hoʻokahi lā.

ʻAi a me ka Manawa:
Hoʻoponopono paʻa ʻia ka lōʻihi o ka hoʻokē ʻai i loko o ka mahina akā aia kekahi manawa kūpono no nā Mahometa e ʻākoakoa me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe o ke kaiāulu a uhaʻi pū i kā lākou hoʻokē ʻai. ʻO ka ʻaina kakahiaka ma mua o ka wanaʻao e hana pinepine ʻia ma ka hola 4:00 am ma mua o ka pule mua o ka lā. Hiki ke hoʻomaka ka ʻaina ahiahi, ʻo ka iftar, ke pau ka pule o ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā, ʻo Maghreb—ma kahi o 7:30. Mai ka wā i uhaʻi ai ke Kāula ʻo Mohammad i kāna hoʻokē ʻai me nā lā a me ke aniani wai, ʻai nā Mahometa i nā lā ma ka iftar. He meaʻai nui o ka Hikina Waena, ua waiwai nā lā i nā meaʻai, maʻalahi ke ʻeli ʻia, a hāʻawi i ke kino me ke kō ma hope o ka lā lōʻihi o ka hoʻokē ʻai.
