Imamat Day

What and when is Imamat Day ? 16th or 25th of Muharram ? It's on Template: Muslimholidays, but I can't find much info in Wikipedia. Thought Muslim holidays would be a good page to include this. -- PFHLai 18:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Abraham and Isaac

Quote:

"Animals are slaughtered to commemorate Abraham's sacrificing of a ram instead of his son Isaac, as believed in Islamic tradition. (The Bible says it was his son Isaac who was to be sacrificed.)"

Why is Christianity mentioned? It sounds like someone thinks there was a contrast but if there is, it does not come out in the text. If there is no contrast, the reference should probably be removed. (For the same reason that Islam does not appear in the page on Christmas, even though Jesus is Prophet in Islam.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.27.202.101 (talk • contribs) 09:00, 21 December 2006

well, Islam, and Muslims believe in christianity, unlike the other way round, so it is very expectible to find related topics relating both religions in Islamic pages, and i believe you will find Judaism mentioned too, somewhere.

as for Abraham and Isaac, Muslims believe it was Ishmael and not Isaac that was to be sacrificed, and was chaged with a ram..

Merge with Islamic holidays?

It looks to me that the Islamic holidays page could be merged with this one. Muslim holidays should probably form the basis of the merged page since it has more general information, but I think the merged page should have the Islamic holidays title. That title is more consistent with the majority of other articles about aspects of Islam. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.31.129 (talk • contribs) 16:26, 3 January 2007

Good idea ... I've tagged it. --72.75.126.37 03:57, 22 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Other festivals

How about other celebrations like Nisfu Shaaban, Nuzul Qur'an, Day of Arafah, Isra' Miraj? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.50.33.203 (talk • contribs) 07:21, 15 January 2007 I was wondering if it would be possible to add some Canadian calender sates to the islamic / muslin holiday pages. I am not muslin but have a few acquaintances that are and would like to be able to wish then the appropriate greeting for their festive / holiday / holy daysFred Leeuwenburgh (talk) 19:50, 24 December 2007 (UTC) There are no other holidays in Islam--Amuhannaa (talk) 00:44, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Friday & Jumu'ah

Saddam's Execution

I cant believe someone put something like that in the introduction of the Muslims Celebrations, it is provocative, and insulting to all Muslims, ill include it lower in the article later on, as it has no goal in the entire article anyway...

what does Saddam's Execution has to do with 1.3 billion people celebrating religious days??

--Arab League User (talk) 19:05, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it is only an example to exlain the diference between shia and sunni festival calendar. --78.51.108.137 (talk) 11:33, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It still has no business in the intro of the article, I have removed the sentence. lalib (talk) 17:51, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Milad-un-Nabi???

Dates of Laylat al-Qadr

108.29.146.9, you have twice removed 19 Ramaḍān from the list of dates for Laylat al-Qadr, and have not provided edit summaries giving your reason for doing so. The Wikipedia article on Laylat al-Qadr, in the section Shia Islam, states, “Shia Muslims similarly believe that Laylat al-Qadr is to be found in the last ten odd nights of Ramadan but particularly on the 19th, 21st or 23rd of Ramadan . . .” If you have a reliable source that contradicts this information, would you please provide it? In the meantime, I have reverted your edit. Thank you.—Quick and Dirty User Account (talk) 04:58, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Eid Mubarak article

I'd like to propose to any editors working in this series that the article on Eid Mubarak is incorporated to this article. That piece needs a great deal of work, it seems to me, and given the topic, it could make the most sense to develop the article within the context of the larger entry on Muslim holidays >> subsection >> Holiday greetings, Eid Mubarak >> regional variations, etc. Welcome support and feedback. Will consider initiating merge in a few days Shameran81 (talk) 04:50, 26 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jewish and Israeli holidays 2000–2050

Is there anything equivalent to Jewish and Israeli holidays 2000–2050 for Islamic holidays? I'm looking for dates going out to at least 2050 for Islamic holidays. In a single table, so a program can parse the data not something that requires human interaction to access like a database. Thanks. -- GreenC 14:59, 22 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Menstruating Women and Fasting

I was under the impression that menstruating women didn’t have to make up their fast later on (I was raised Muslim), could someone show me a source for that? Thanks Frank Raphael D. (talk) 07:34, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
