Can we finally answer the question of timing of salaat and sawm?

Jack

salam all

3831-32 is that referring to ishaa? Or it could be a salat between the two?

doesn't 2238 make it that there has to be a 'middle' or 'moderate' salat? It can't mean 'best' there. If there are only two salats doesn't that make it a contradiction?

Can we also take into account 20130 and 3017 in this discussion?

Peace Allen,

It was probably pronounced as none of the above. It was probably pronounced as "ramdan" or maybe "rumdan".

I do not know the reason of your annoyance.The only reason I could chalk out because you could not translate a few simple sentences without vocalization marks.Can you tell me the reason why you could not translate them and instead of attempting them you tried to "mock" which is by itself a negative behaviour if you are serious.
Now coming to the point.You said that

It was probably pronounced as none of the above. It was probably pronounced as "ramdan" or maybe "rumdan".

Both will be written as " " ------- A
One with "ru-- and other with ra---" but case ending is same.I do not know whether you mean case ending as " "-----B
Please do clarify which of the case ending with "Tanween (A) or with "-noon ----(B) " do you mean because both of them are not present in the Quran now available.
After your selection of A or B I will comment further.

Ok No isolated words

It is a full sentence What is its translation ?

Scholar man's slave came
-Man's scholar slave came
Another sentence
She wrote a letter
You (male) wrote a letter
You (female) wrote a letter
I wrote a letter

Another example

-The speaker (addresser) came
-The addresse (addressed ) came

Who beat whome ?
-Zaid beat Ahmed
-Ahmed beat Zaid

Another example

How will you translate it ?

The pen broke
Did the pen break ?

All of them are complete but simple sentences by themselves.Let us see ,being arabic ,how can you translate them correctly.

Please translate them

Salaam Allen

This sentence has conveniently the verb "came" to make one of the nouns in the nominative case, whereas all the others (possibly except one, according to the meaning of the senetnce) are in the genetive. What if it was ? All nouns will be in the genetive case (kasra). Case ending will not solve this problem. Context will.

Calls for context. If no context, just an isolated sentence, does it really matter what it means? Why would one just write such a sentence? is a complete sentence and does not need vocalization, yet it is meaningless without context. Same goes to the two sentences that follow.

Now tell me, what does vocalization or case ending have to do with the translation you gave? This is about question marks, punctuation. Do you see any question marks in the quraan? Or even comas, semi colens...etc?

Tell me what do you understand from the chief of the tribe known of having some canibalism activities when he says "The priest? Yes I met him. I had him for dinner"?

Remember that spoken Arabic does not care at all about case endings. The quraan was revealed in the spoken form.

Peace Allen,

I do not know the reason of your annoyance.The only reason I could chalk out because you could not translate a few simple sentences without vocalization marks.Can you tell me the reason why you could not translate them and instead of attempting them you tried to "mock" which is by itself a negative behaviour if you are serious.

There is no need for you to feel annoyed. You couldn't interpret the English sentences that I gave you, which demonstrates that vocalization marks are irrelevant. What matters is the context. In ANY LANGUAGE, if one can't figure out the context from one sentence then he needs to look at other sentences surrounding it and so on. This is an INDISPUTABLE fact so there is nothing mocking or funny about pointing it out and I don't see how you can take this to be negative behavior. Please don't be overly sensitive and focus on the issues.

Now coming to the point.You said that

If your problem is with the transliteration, then it is ramadaan and ramudaan. From the context it could be figured ;D

ayman

Peace sister Samia,

If your problem is with the transliteration, then it is ramadaan and ramudaan. From the context it could be figured ;D

It could also be "RaMDAN" (weight Fa3LAN, like GhaDBAN/angry) or "RuMDAN" (weight Fu3LAN, like SuLTAN/intense authority).

Hi
Ramdan =

Raw = Maftooh
Meem = Saakin
Dhad =maftooh
alif =absent
Noon = Saakin

In this pronuciation"alif " after Dhaad is absent

Rumdan
Raw = mazmoom
meem = Saakin
Dhaad = maftooh
alif = absent
Noon = Saakin
In this pronuciation again "alif " after dhaad is absent.

Actual word used in the Quran and Classical arabic

Raw = maftooh
Meem = maftooh
Alif = present

So naturally according to your statement the revealed pronuciation is different from the present in the Holy Quran which is
(2185)

Works on the classical Arabic language support it

" " " .

I will appreciate if you could support your claim with some classical work (In my opinion quran is sufficient but you are disputing its pronuciation) otherwise I will have to consider it to be a home cooked and fabricated preconceived idea which is being used to hit the integrity of the Quran.
The pronuciation you mentioned do not exist in the arabic language for this word.
Please also consult "Lane's Lexicon" which is available on Wakas 's website.

(Translation when they copied the names of months from the old language, they named them according to the seasons they reflect, so the name ramadaan reflects they days of scorching heat and it was called after it "the scorching heat&quot Ref. Lisaanul 3arab and Maqaayysul lughati.

I wonder who are "they"!!!
I wonder who changed it again so that it does not reflect the season it comes in!!

Do you have any answers?

I think maghrib is sun set, ishaa is just before sunset to just before darkness. After that we have "lail night". So there are two salaat

fajr before sunrise
ishaa (from when the sun rubs horizon daluukush shamsi (maghreb) until the near night)

tarafai annahaar the TWO edges of day. One salaat at each edge.

Verse 24 58 does not mention maghrib salaat or any other salaat during the whole day except two, the only salaats that are mentioned by name in the whole quraan fajr and ishaa (other than jum3a congregational salaat).

Wustaa is not just middle, but also means moderate. If God did not mention three salaats, how can we discuss a midle one? So I think it is the moderate salaat, not the middle one

Whats the near night and what are the prayers of the two edges and what is moderate salaat?

What is the opinion of them about
-From Ayman
--- Ramdan
---Rumdan

From you
----Ramudaan

Can you show me the words both of you have concocted??

You are the only one saying that the Alif after the Dhaad is absent and then you keep arguing against yourself. I never said that.

Actual word used in the Quran and Classical arabic

Raw = maftooh
Meem = maftooh
Alif = present

No, the actual word used in the great reading is " "

Raa = present
Meem = present
Dhaad = present
Alif = present
Nun = present

The great reading has no vocalization marks. Those were invented in the 9th-10th century CE long after the great reading was descended and thus are completely manmade.

In transliteration ,how do you differentiate between
Fatah & Alif ??
Fatah = a
Alif = aa
You wrote
-Ramdan
-Rumdan
Where is alif in this tranliteration ?
In both you have show "meem saakin".Show me this word in the Quran or Classical literature with "meem saakin".
Second word is having more blunder
Raw = mazmoom
meem = saakin
Show me this word with "meem mazmoom"

I read the link you provided. I think the problem lies within the meaning of two words

3ishaa' (isha). This is a period of time that denotes the start of darkness and diminshing of light. It extends from sunset until night, or even until dawn according to some dictionaries. Here are the definitions by four cla ssical Arabic dictionaries

.

. .
.

Only two salaats were mentioned by name in the quraan. When the two edges of day time are mentioned as times for establishing salaat, the second edge is described as description of ishaa', since it is not specific as fajr (dawn).

wustaa

From al Qaamuuaul Muheet

.

(meaning salaat wustaa could be fajr, noon, afternoon (asr), evening (maghrib), ishaa, witr, eid salaat, congregational, or all salaats, or morning and asr together, or any of the five pdaily salaat because there are two before and two after it; or salaat when someone is afraid, or the congregational payer on Friday and the noon prayer on other days. Ibn Sayyidihi said whoever says it is anything other than the noon salaat is mistaken unless reported with evidence from the prophet himself)

From Maqaayysul Lughati

.
.
(meaning wau seen Taa signifies justice and fairness and the best thing is its average, midway, as per 2143)

I glanced through your article ,did you miss 2458 or did I miss it .

Glorifying and praising is not salat. Neither is rememberance. Salat is for rememeberance but all rememberance is not salat.

Actually its three. The 2 Samia pointed and the additional tahajjud during the night.
