國際時事跟讀 Ep.K959: Ramadan: Faith Through Fasting

Highlights 主題摘要：

• Ramadan is a holy month where Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, focusing on prayer, charity, and self-control while avoiding negative behaviors.
• Healthy fasting involves two important meals: suhoor before dawn for energy and iftar at sunset, with experts recommending balanced nutrition.
• Ramadan combines religious practice with cultural celebrations that bring communities together, creating bonds between families and neighbors.

Ramadan, the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, is a sacred period when Muslims worldwide engage in daily fasting from dawn until sunset. This religious practice represents one of the Five Pillars of Islam and serves multiple purposes: it's an act of worship, a demonstration of submission to God, and a way to cultivate gratitude and self-restraint. During this month, Muslims not only abstain from food and drink but also increase their prayers, charitable activities, and Quran readings while striving to avoid negative behaviors. The spiritual essence of Ramadan focuses on purification of the soul and strengthening one's relationship with God through sacrifice and discipline.

齋戒月（Ramadan）是伊斯蘭曆法中的第九個月，是全球穆斯林從黎明到日落每日禁食的神聖時期。這種宗教習俗代表伊斯蘭教五大支柱（五功）之一，並具有多重目的：這是一種崇拜行為，表達對真主的臣服，也是培養感恩之心與自我節制的方式。在這個月中，穆斯林不僅禁絕食物和飲料，還增加祈禱、慈善活動和《古蘭經》（Quran）的誦讀，同時努力避免負面行為。齋戒月的精神實質在於透過犧牲和自律來淨化靈魂並強化與真主的關係。

The fasting routine involves two main meals: "suhoor," the pre-dawn meal that provides sustained energy throughout the day, and "iftar," which breaks the fast at sunset. Nutrition experts recommend consuming a variety of food groups during suhoor, particularly those containing fiber, protein, and healthy fats such as avocados, nuts, and hydrating fruits. For iftar, moderation is key – many begin with dates and water before enjoying a light meal, being careful not to overindulge. Those who exercise regularly might schedule their workouts just before breaking the fast or later in the evening to prevent dehydration. Experts advise listening to one's body during the fasting period and adjusting daily activities accordingly to maintain physical wellbeing alongside spiritual growth.

齋戒的日常包含兩個主要餐點：「封齋飯」（suhoor）是黎明前的餐食，提供全天持續的能量；以及「開齋飯」（iftar），即日落時結束禁食的餐點。營養專家建議在封齋飯時攝取多樣化的食物，特別是含有纖維、蛋白質和健康脂肪的食物，如酪梨、堅果和水分充足的水果。至於開齋飯，適度是關鍵——許多人首先以椰棗和水來打破禁食，然後享用清淡的餐點，小心不要過量。定期運動的人可能會安排在打破禁食前或晚間進行鍛煉，以防止脫水。專家建議在齋戒期間傾聽自己的身體反應，並相應調整日常活動，在保持身體健康的同時促進靈性成長。

Beyond its religious significance, Ramadan is characterized by rich cultural and social traditions that vary across different regions. In many countries, the month brings communities together through festive gatherings and shared meals. Egypt celebrates with colorful lanterns, special songs, and communal tents offering food and entertainment. In Indonesia, rituals differ by region, with some communities practicing symbolic cleansing or sharing meat with the less fortunate. Many Muslims in the United States gather at mosques or Islamic centers for iftar meals and prayers, creating a sense of community. These social aspects of Ramadan strengthen bonds between families, friends, and neighbors, fostering a spirit of unity and generosity.

除了宗教意義外，齋戒月還以豐富的文化和社交傳統為特色，這些傳統在不同地區各有差異。在許多國家，這個月透過節慶聚會和共享餐點將社區聚集在一起。埃及以色彩繽紛的燈籠、特別的歌曲，以及提供食物和娛樂的社區帳篷來慶祝。在印尼，儀式因地區而異，某些社區進行象徵性的淨化或與貧困者分享肉食。在美國，許多穆斯林聚集在清真寺或伊斯蘭中心進行開齋飯和祈禱，營造社區感。齋戒月的這些社交方面加強了家庭、朋友和鄰居之間的連結，培養團結和慷慨的精神。

While fasting is obligatory for adult Muslims, certain groups are exempt, including children, the elderly, pregnant or breastfeeding women, menstruating women, travelers, and those with specific medical conditions. People with chronic illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease should consult healthcare providers before fasting, especially if they take regular medication. The month concludes with Eid al-Fitr, a joyous celebration marking the end of Ramadan and providing an opportunity for Muslims to reflect on their spiritual journey. Through the challenges of hunger and thirst, Muslims develop greater empathy for those less fortunate and a deeper appreciation for life's blessings, emerging from the month spiritually renewed and morally strengthened.

雖然齋戒對成年穆斯林是必須的，但某些群體可得到豁免，包括兒童、老年人、懷孕或哺乳期婦女、經期婦女、旅行者以及有特定健康狀況的人。患有糖尿病或心臟病等慢性疾病的人在齋戒前應諮詢醫療專業人員，尤其是定期服藥者。這個月以開齋節（Eid al-Fitr）結束，這是一個歡樂的慶祝活動，標誌著齋戒月的結束，並為穆斯林提供反思其靈性旅程的機會。透過飢餓和口渴的挑戰，穆斯林對不幸者產生更大的同理心，並對生命的祝福有更深的感恩，從這個月中獲得靈性更新和道德力量的提升。
