As Salaam Alaikum (peace be unto you)
December is the month the Honorable Elijah Muhammad chose for his followers to fast as in the month of Ramadan in the Islamic calendar. The Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Messenger of Allah, wrote in his book, How To Eat To Live Book 1, “We fast the 12th month of the Christian year to relieve ourselves of having once worshipped that month as the month in which Jesus was born. It is now known and agreed upon by the scholars and scientists of religion that nothing of the kind took place 2000 years ago. Jesus was born, not in the month of December, but rather–as God has revealed it and according to the season that history claims existed in that time–the first or second week in September.”
May Allah Bless all the true Believers have a successful and peaceful fast!!
