For the first time, the Norwegian Armed Forces will celebrate ID, which marks the end of the Muslim fast Ramadan.

The holiday id al-Fitr will be marked at the War School at Linderud, at Sessvollmoen and at the recruit school at Madla, writes the Armed Forces Forum.

Ramadan is an important month for Muslims where they fast and become extra preoccupied with worship and good deeds. It is a month where self-cleansing and spiritual development are in focus. It is also a time for extra reflection and reflection, says field teacher Najeeb ur Rehman Naz to the Armed Forces forum.

Feltimam Naz says that the Armed Forces' marking will not take place on the actual day for ID, which this year is 2 May, but will be arranged on a suitable day after the celebration so that soldiers can celebrate the actual ID day with the family.

This is a cultural celebration where you have the opportunity to gain knowledge about the culture and the holiday Id. All soldiers and employees who work in the department are most welcome to take part in this celebration, says Major Naz.

Muslims should have a morally high-quality behavior and meet others with respect and consideration in what Muslims see as the holy month, writes the Armed Forces Forum. These values go hand in hand with the Armed Forces' basic values of respect, responsibility and courage, says the field teacher of conscript journalist Fatin Ben Abdellah.

All servicemen in the Armed Forces have the right to practice their faith and belief, according to both Norway's constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights, writes the Armed Forces Forum.

This also means facilitating fasting in Ramadan, the field hour informs.

Both the field tamam, field priests and officers will help to make sure that the Muslim soldiers have a good experience during the fasting month. In practice, this means, among other things, that one should be prepared for the two meals suhoor which is the last before Lent begins at dawn, and iftar which is the first meal after the sun has set.

It is especially important that they feel safe and well taken care of with regard to their religious practice this month.

Id al-fitr is the most important holiday of the Muslims. The celebration begins at sunset on the last day of Ramadan, and lasts throughout the next day. The first time id was celebrated was in the year 624, after the Prophet Muhammad and his men had won the battle of Badr.
