The Ramadan Revelation
Ramadan 2023 started on the evening of 22 March and will last 30 days. Is Ramadan Scriptural? Let's examine the "Muslim" tradition.

Note: Ramadan for the year 2023 started on the evening of 22 March and will last 30 days, ending at sundown on 20 April. Islamic holidays always begin at sundown and end at sundown the following day.
It’s interesting that this year the dates for Ramadan coincide with the Jewish, Christian, and Enochian calendars. The Jewish Pesach begins before sundown on 5 April and ends after nightfall on 13 April. Easter is 9 April. The Passover on The Enochian Calendar is 31 March, beginning at sunset 30 March (calendar below).
According to “Islamic” tradition, Ramadan (also rendered as Ramadhan, Ramazan, Ramzan and Ramathan) is the ninth (9th) and most revered month of the “Islamic” lunar-based calendar year. Ramadan is observed by “Muslims” throughout the world as a month of fasting (sawm) during daylight hours, and is considered to be one of the five “pillars” that make up the organized religion that calls itself “Islam”.
Ramadan traditionally lasts 29-30 days, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next, and involves obligatory fasting from sunrise to sunset. People found publicly eating during daylight hours are routinely arrested in some countries, where this tradition is physically enforced.
PEOPLE ARRESTED FOR EATING DURING RAMADAN – 2022 (DGTV)
Sura 2:256. Let there be NO compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects Evil and believes God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand-hold, that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things.
There are at least five questions that every true Muslim should be asking about this religious ritual that has become one of the five foundational “pillars” of “Islam”:
1) Where in the Koran (Quran) does it specify a lunar-based calendar or establish the names of the alleged lunar months of the year?
2) Where in the Koran does it specify Ramadan is the ninth month of a lunar-based year or how the month of Ramadan is to be observed? The latter would need to include a description of the crescent moon cycle, how and why it determines the period of fasting, and any other details required to make the instructions for this so-called pillar perfectly clear and easy to understand (Sura 41:3).
3) Where in the Koran does it specifically tell us that Muhammad, or any of the Apostles or Prophets that came before Muhammad (in the Bible – Sura 3:144) observed Ramadan?
4) According to God, the Koran was sent to confirm The Law and the Gospel that came before it (Sura 2:97-98, 3:1-3, 4:47, 5:51, 6:92-94, 6:154-157, 10:37, 12:111, 22:52, 35:31, 46:12, 61:6-7), so where do we find mention of Ramadan in The Book (Bible) that God sent down from heaven with His Criterion for determining right from wrong (Sura 2:53)?
5) Did the term “Ramadan” actually appear in the true original Koran that God sent down via Gabriel to Muhammad?
The answer to questions 1, 2, 3 and 4 above is nowhere. Nowhere in the Koran (Quran) is there any mention of a lunar-based calendar, nor of the names of any months, nor are there any specific instructions on how the supposed month of Ramadan is to be observed, nor is there any mention of Muhammad ever observing the month of Ramadan. Similarly, nowhere in the Bible do we find the term “Ramadan” nor any of the Apostles or Prophets observing it. We do, however find divine condemnation of such pagan practices (e.g. Isaiah 1:13-18, Acts 5:29).
And the answer to question number 5, which may come as a shock to so-called Muslims, is a resounding “NO”. The term “Ramadan” was NOT in the true original Koran that God sent down via Gabriel to Muhammad, according to the Koran itself.
