Talk:Ramadan

Redundancies and long-winded writing (part 1)

"Exemptions from fasting include those traveling, menstruating, severely ill, pregnant, or breastfeeding. However, Muslims in these categories may still choose to fast in order to satisfy their spiritual needs, even though it is not recommended by hadith." --- I suggest writing "Exemptions from fasting may include those traveling, menstruating, severely ill..." and then cutting the second sentence. Then it would be obvious that anyone who wants to fast can always do so. The business about spiritual needs is not for us to decide (many religious actions are not motivated by "spiritual needs") and should be deleted in any case. --Melchior2006 (talk) 14:36, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Redundancies and long-winded writing (part 2)

"In addition to abstaining from eating and drinking during this time, Muslims abstain from sexual relations and sinful speech and behaviour during Ramadan fasting or month." Since we had "during this time" in the first part of the sentence, it is redundant to state "during Ramadan" at the end of the sentence. I suggest cutting the long-winded repetition. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 14:40, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Redundancies and long-winded writing (part 3)

"Muslims believe that Ramadan teaches them ... sacrifice, and empathy for those who are less fortunate" -- then we have at the end of the sentence: "fasting helps instill compassion for the food-insecure poor." Since "less fortunate" was at the beginning, "food-insecure poor" at the end is redundant. I suggest cutting the long-winded repetition. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 14:43, 7 April 2024 (UTC)

Typo

In the intro after “prophet Muhammad.” The next word “the” should be capitalized. 67.191.245.204 (talk) 23:21, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

First paragraph, "the" in "the annual observance" is not capitalized. This is an article for a very prestigous month and it is surprising that such an edit has not been made, as it is within the first 4 lines

"the annual observance of Ramadan is regarded as one of the Five Pillars of Islam[6] and lasts twenty-nine to thirty days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next." Thymine2341 (talk) 04:12, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Unusual statement in lead

Template:Tq (Emphasis added.) I have a hard time believing that diabetes is specifically mentioned in the Quran or hadith as an exemption. This is only found in the lead; the body does not mention diabetes. This claim seems to be cited to a defective SFN without a corresponding full citation. I think this should be removed and the citation replaced with something better, unless someone can come up with evidence otherwise. — Anonymous 19:56, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

@An anonymous username, not my real name Tried searching for something on this but found nothing. Ill remove it and if someone finds a source they can add it back 𐩣𐩫𐩧𐩨 Abo Yemen (𓃵) 20:36, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Change the first instance of “Ramadan” in the Etymology section, which is italicised, to an un-italicised version. Mustyverymusty (talk) 16:15, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Template:Nd No reason given, and it is a common convention to italicise a word (as opposed to a concept referred to by s word) that is discussed. --bonadea contributions talk 16:19, 14 March 2025 (UTC)

Third paragraph of the section on Laws, last sentence, says "many Uyghurs do not fast...because 'the Chinese government guarantees freedom of religion.'" This seems contradictory. I tried to open the source article to read the context, but it's paywalled. If there is additional context, and the sentence is correct, the context would be helpful in understanding the statement, as it currently is somewhat incomprehensible.
