Errr...its not Ramadan for another 2 weeks. And its not a full moon when its the 1st of Ramadan. Its a crescent at the beginning of the month, and a full moon in the middle of the month.
Most probably the fasting you're hearing about is for the 15th Shaban, which is not required, rather saying it is required is bid'ah.

Anybody fasting today?? I just heard last night that yesterday will be taraweeh prayers (full moon) and so I am fasting today. I hope I don't scew up!
salam.
i know what you mean && where your coming from bro, but it's that day where people keep 1 fast in U.S && yes it was taraweeh in U.S because my cosuin kept a fast to.
w.salam
Woah woah woah slow down! What taraweeh u ppl on about?! Its not ramadan yet! This fast that ur talking about is Nafl and is not Sunnah, meaning it is not compulsary to keep it.

Erm...nooo, the prayer is not Taraweeh! Taraweeh is only prayed in Ramadan. Its Salat at Tasbih you're hearing about... I'm not sure why they pray it on the 15th of Sha'ban, and as far as I've heard, its bid'ah.

Ramadan relates to the moon phases, similar to Easter and Lent. Perhaps there is a connection there??
Hi
not only Ramadhan but the whole muslim calender is based on the moon not the sun.
Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
Allaah Almighty knows best, but i think that the cycle of the moon is equal to a months time span - i.e. 29 or 30 days. Remember that the arabs at that time were an ignorant nation so they never had calendars. Therefore they depended on the mooncycle.
