Chand Raat

[tinuc]

ok so I'v been asking a few people around here 1 simple question but it seems like everyone is into following the faith blindly and can't give me a valid answer.

My question is.. when Chand Raat falls on a friday, what is the significance of the fast?

If any one knows the answer, I would really appriciate a reply.

Thanks

Amir

Might be this topic explained in Imam's farman other than (other) religious books.

These links might help you for other information, but you might have to search for detail.

Also, on Friday many special events had happened, this is the reason Friday is significant for Muslims.


And for (What I think, reason for fasting) Ismailis if Chandraat comes on Friday than its like double happiness, and people tend to enjoy and will eat lots of food which might not good for health. So Fasting and than at night feast.

Of course, we fast on this day because Imam of the time has told us (with reason most probably which we have to search in books & Farman, if we want to know).
