Pour cette raison la nuit du 29e jour est
appelée communément
« Nuit du doute » (leilat e-chek). "Ensuite chaque soir : mangez et buvez jusqu'à ce que se distingue, pour vous, le fil blanc de l'aube du fil noir de la nuit.Puis accomplissez le jeûne jusqu'à la nuit. " Cette incertitude
pousse le croyant à l'humilité en soulignant
la relativité des certitudes humaines. Nul ne décide,
tout vient du ciel, chacun attend simplement l'arrivée dans son
pays de la nouvelle lune en observant le croissant.

Nuit de la Purification. Deux semaines avant le Ramadan, les musulmans cherchent le pardon de leurs péchés. Beaucoup de musulmans croient que, durant cette nuit, Dieu fixe le destin de chaque homme pour l'année à venir. On passe cette nuit à prier pour demander à Dieu directives et pardon. Certains jeûnent durant la journée |

- The Muslim calendar (called lunar because it is based on THE observation of the phases of the moon), numbers 12 months of 29 or 30 days. It is therefore 11 or 12 days shorter than the Gregorian Calendar, which is a solar calendar. - Ramadan is the name of one of the months, as for example, November or April in the Gregorian Calendar. - Ramadan comes earlier every year by 11 or 12 days, in comparison to the Western calendar. - The first month of the Muslim year is Muharram, the same as January
in the Gregorian Calendar. L'année hégirienne (islamique) comprend 12 mois lunaires: |

In virtue of this, the night of the 29th is generally
known as
the 'Night of Doubt' (leilat e-shek). "Then, each evening, eat and drink until the white thread of the dawn becomes distinct to you from the black thread of night. Then strictly observe the fast till nightfall. " This
uncertainty compels the believer to humility by underlining the relative
nature of human certainties. No one decides, everything comes from heaven,
everyone simply waits for the new moon's arrival in his country by looking
out for the crescent.

The next major dates in the Muslim calendar
The Night of Purification. Two weeks after Ramadan, Muslims seek pardon for their sins. Many Muslims
believe that during this night, God fixes everyone's destiny for the coming
year. This night is spent in asking God for his directives and for pardon.
Some fast for the day. |
