Lent

The 40‑day season of repentance and preparation:

  • Begins on Ash Wednesday;
  • Ends just before Easter;
  • Focus: repentance, self‑examination, fasting, prayer;
  • Symbolism: Jesus’ 40 days in the wilderness;
  • Many give up something (food, habits) or take up spiritual disciplines.

Lent is the closest thing Christianity has to a “holy month”, though it’s actually six weeks.

I’m not really sure why this passage is here, but I guess it’s about repudiating the Kaaba’s month of peace, where they break their spears – Zaid.

This is because of the trade season in late summer and early autumn – Zaynab.

Market time, a time for peace and trade
