Quote:So will it eventually move back, or will it continue to get earlier in the year, and eventually work its way full circle through into December in roughly ten years?
It comes round 11 days quicker than the xian calendar. So if the time now is 12 March 2006 a new year would comence 01 march 2007. And then 18 Feb. 2008. then 7 Feb. 2009 etc. But it's not the eleven days short of the xian calendar that guides the muslim calendar. It's the lunar months.
Quote:Are there many cases of people falling ill during Ramadan, from dehydration or anything, or is there something in meal that you eat in the morning that helps?
I don't know the answer to that. I certainly haven't heard or read of any cases. As for breakfast whether you eat and drink or over-sleep and miss the cut-off time for Iftar/breakfast, the day seems to pass the same.
