NO HOLIEST MONTH OF RAMADAN IN THE QURAN OR THE BIBLE
Firstly let’s challenge the Muslims to bring the Quran verse which declares Ramadan as the holiest month of the year. The Quran says that there are only four holy or prohibited (haram) months. They do NOT include the month of Ramadhan. These are the 4 months of Muharram, Rajab, Dzul Qadah, and Dzul Hijjah (Surah 9:36-37; 2:197 & 217; 5:2; 9:2-5 – see also Bukhari Volume 4, Book 54, Hadith Number 419) – during which Arabs did not fight. Or rather were not supposed to fight.
The Quran verses speaking of Ramadan say nothing about it being the holiest month, and they wrongly declare it had any history.
“O you who believe! fasting is prescribed for you, as it was prescribed for those before you, so that you may guard (against evil). [184] For a certain number of days; but whoever among you is sick or on a journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of other days; and those who are not able to do it may effect a redemption by feeding a poor man; so whoever does good spontaneously it is better for him; and that you fast is better for you if you know. [185] The month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran was revealed, a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction; therefore whoever of you is present in the month, he shall fast therein, and whoever is sick or upon a journey, then (he shall fast) a (like) number of other days; Allah desires ease for you, and He does not desire for you difficulty, and (He desires) that you should complete the number and that you should exalt the greatness of Allah for His having guided you and that you may give thanks” (Surah 2:183-185 Shakir).
Turning to the Bible, the go to text which Muslims claim Jeremiah 36:9 HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with your pagan fast/feast! Nor does any other reference in Scripture to fasting.
The fast in Jeremiah 39:6 was NOT a DECREED on by the LORD nor the people!
“In the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, all the people of Jerusalem and all those coming in from Judah’s cities into Jerusalem proclaimed a fast before the Lord” (Jeremiah 36:9 HCSB).
Here, the fast was simply a fast by the people and NOT by the LORD, even to the people it WASN’T a decree for a COMPULSORY FAST on the ninth month is NOT forced on any Jew even after this event.
It was the ONLY fast that just happened to fall on the ninth month. This fast by coincidence fell on the ninth month, for it could fall on any other month!
Looking closely, Israel was near exile when the people observed their OWN fast by the emergence of the time! There was no special significance in this month!
Moreover, this fast changed nothing! => ISRAEL FURTHER WENT INTO EXILE!
There’s NO DECREE where YHWH commanded a fast specifically on the NINTH MONTH!
The Jews DON’T specifically fast on the ninth month because it’s NOT a decree by the LORD nor one they made up fir themselves!
If this is not so, Muslims should point to any where apart from Jeremiah 39:9 where a Jew or any Biblical figure fasted on the ninth month!
We can also observe that in Zechariah 8:18-19 tells God Himself commanded His people to fast on the 4th, 5th, 7th and 10th months and He Himself promised them there shall be blessings as a result.
“Then the word of the Lord of hosts came to me, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘The fast of the fourth month, The fast of the fifth, The fast of the seventh, And the fast of the tenth, Shall be joy and gladness and cheerful feasts For the house of Judah. Therefore love truth and peace.’” (Zechariah 8:18‭-‬19 NKJV)
Here we see God commanding fasts Himself during certain precise months and NOWHERE does God command fast in the 9th month. Neither is there anywhere God commanded anyone to fast for 30 days and nor at specific times every day during the fast like the Muslim starve/binge gluttons are doing. Moreover these commands are for the House of Israel only.
MUSLIMS FAILED, ALLAH LIED!…
