Which is the correct word, Ramadan or Ramzan?
The word
Ramadhan ( رَمَضان ) has its origin in Arabic
language, its name of a Lunar month among 12 months of Islamic Year. As Islam
has its own Islamic Calender which is based on moon sighting afte every 29 or
30 days. This calendar is also known as Hijri calendar.
Arabic is an official language of Islam and the holy
book named The Quran was revealed in Arabic language. As muslims moved from Arab origin to east sides, the
language also travelled. In India-Pakistan ( almost subcontinent) Arabic
language gave birth to another language called Urdu which has more than 80%
vocab from Arabic Language. With Arabic, there are strict rules when
reciting(reading) Quran. There are same rules in Urdu language as well but are
not followed usually. With time, there are changes to the way letters were
pronounced, and many letters end up with same pronounciation although written
totally differently.
