Denmark is a Scandinavian country with a population of over 5.8 million people. It is a multicultural country with a significant Muslim population. According to the Pew Research Center, there are approximately 320,000 Muslims in Denmark, making up 5.5% of the country's population. Muslims in Denmark come from various ethnic backgrounds, including Turkish, Pakistani, Moroccan, and Somali.
The Beginning of Ramadan
Ramadan starts with the sighting of the new moon, which marks the beginning of the ninth month in the Islamic calendar. The start of Ramadan can vary from year to year as the Islamic calendar follows a lunar cycle. Muslims in Denmark, like in other parts of the world, rely on moon sighting reports to determine the beginning of Ramadan.
Fasting in Denmark
Fasting is one of the primary observances during Ramadan. Muslims in Denmark fast from dawn until dusk, abstaining from food, drink, and other physical needs. The length of the fast varies depending on the time of year and the location. In Denmark, the fast can last for up to 20 hours during the summer months. Despite the long hours, Muslims in Denmark observe the fast with great dedication and devotion.
Prayer and Reflection
Ramadan is also a time for prayer and reflection. Muslims in Denmark attend nightly prayers at their local mosques, where they recite special prayers called Taraweeh. These prayers are performed in congregation and can last for up to an hour or more. Muslims also spend time reflecting on their lives, seeking forgiveness, and making supplications to God.
Iftar and Suhoor
Iftar is the meal that breaks the fast at sunset. Muslims in Denmark gather with their families and friends to share the meal together. Iftar is a time for celebration, where people enjoy traditional foods and drinks. Suhoor is the pre-dawn meal that Muslims eat before the start of the fast. It is essential to have a nutritious suhoor meal to help sustain the body throughout the day.
