Hot/"ramadan" Answer

farida

Salaam everyone

I have noticed that when anyone asks Ayman a question he comes up with his verdict. This habit goes against the practice of the prophet. From the sample of Qur?an verses below we learn how he replied to concerns raisedonly after seeking guidance from God

2189 They ask thee concerning the crescent moons /New Moons/ phases of the moon!. Say .....
2215 They ask thee what they should spend (In charity). Say.....
2217 They ask thee concerning fighting in the Prohibited MONTH. Say " ....
219 They ask thee concerning wine and gambling. Say ......

Therefore I don't need to remind that for all answers here (unless one's personal opinion) we need to give evidence from the Quran and on the subject of witnessing Ramadan, please correct me if I am wrong, the verses below confirm that it?s not only eyes and ears that bear witness, but even one?s skin bears witness.

4120 At length, when they reach the (Fire), their hearing, their sight, and their SKINs will bear witness against them, as to (all) their deeds.

4121 They will say to their SKINs "Why bear ye witness against us?" They will say "(Allah) hath given us speech,- (He) Who giveth speech to everything He created you for the first time, and unto Him were ye to return.

4122 "Ye did not seek to hide yourselves, lest your hearing, your sight, and your SKINs should bear witness against you! But ye did think that Allah knew not many of the things that ye used to do!

I would therefore ask Ayman again Do you still think there is no obligation on the blind to fast and, if so, where is the evidence for that ???

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

Peace,

Belal, you used this verse as proof that manzil means any stage. However this word is munzal, and not manzil. Munzal is the verbal noun and place noun for form 4 anzala which is ' to cause to descend.' munzal means either making something descend (inzaal) or a place where something is made to descend (munzal). Manzil is where something descend on it's own.

Peace,

I want to respond to this

ma3duuda means few; 3adeeda means many. No context would change their meaning.
To those who can read Arabic (cut-and-paste from lisaanul 3arab)

. .

What I also find interesting in this quote the phrase about the ten days of Dhul Hijja

The first part of this definition is referring to the islamic ritual of Hajj and its names. The first meaning of the phrase al-ayyaamul-ma3doodaatu is a religious meaning connected to hajj rituals. Hence the day of nahr (the day of Immolation or slaughter) done on the 10 of dhul-hijjah. So this meaning is an islamic interpretation of the phrase. At the very least it is a religious pagan Arab interpretation of the phrase. In both cases the phrase DOES have literal meaning outside of these two non-Quranic religious contexts. Notice the religous interpretation of al-ayaam al-ma3loomaat that follows the first definition.

Now if we pay attention to what Zujaaj has to say in this citation he says that ma3dood is a count small or large. But he claims that alif, taa has diminutive properties. He cites durayhimaat (which is strange because durayhim is already the diminutive of dirham, and durayhimaat is plural. My guess is that the word is used exclusively in the meaning of a few small dirhams, exactly equalling daraahima qaleelatun). I'm not sure how Hammaamaat is diminutive.

But he then says that the alif ta may also be used for takthir, implying plurality.

On that level I would like to say that the dictionary is saying that ma3doodaat can be few (obviosly coming from it's use as numbered, i.e. limited) as well as plural implying many with no particular count involved.

As far as the female plural being used for plural inanimate objects. I'd like to point out that samawaat is referred to as hunna (229, and in Iraqi dialect inaminate plurals can still be reffered to as hin or hun, a leftover from Classical Arabic), ayyaam is refered to as ma3loomaat (280 is a singular female use and wouldn't fall under the diminutive possibility used in the above definition) and ma3doodaat on more than a few occasions in the Quran. A more nuetral and very common Quranic example is ayaaatun bayyinaatun (299).

With that said I'd like to clarify

In classical Arabic feminine plural can be used to describe plural inanimate objects.
Ma3dood, Ma3doodah, Ma3doodaaat (and even possibly ma3doodoona or ma3aadid or ma3aadeed) means numbered or counted primarily and literally. But it can take a diminutive meaning of 'few' through its meaning of numbered or limited. A good English example is 'your days are numbered.'
Ma3dood in no way ONLY means few.
The limitation of time as it concerns Ramadan and pilgrimage depends on the Quranic implication of shahr, and not the other way around.

Anwar

Salaam Anthony and everyone,

Indeed!! As I understand from the verse above, there is no undue expectations on the physically impaired and, performing within their capacity will earn them a reward on par with that of the able.

However the argument was ?how can one witness a month?? so it must, here, imply the scorching moon, "shahr ramadan".
As we learn from verses 4120, 21, 22, it is confirmed that the skin is capable of witnessing and will testify.
One can witness a month simply by being present in that month, as the skin is in touch with the atoms/molecules , water vapor mixture of gases, temperature etc., present at such a time. In this world one?s finger prints and DNA can also testify against a person, but just imagine a blind one saying to God, on the Day of Judgement, ?I did not witness the month of Ramadan?. His skin will then speak out against him.

b.? those amongst you who witnessed?? exclude only those who are mentally incapacitated.

These verses also made me realise that the deaf, the dumb and the blind are not excluded from testifying.
How does a deaf or dumb person bear witness?
By the use of eyes and skin, which would include using sign language, as well as employing writing tools. In both cases the skin is used to bear witness. Similarly a deaf person, capable of speaking, may use his sight and his lips/skin .
A blind person can use the skin (to feel with), along with the ears to witness and, regarding the month of Ramadan, a blind person has witnessed it simply by being present in his body, in that month .

This, in my opinion, is conclusive evidence, but I would welcome any input from others.

Harvest Moon - September

This is the full Moon that occurs closest to the autumn equinox. At the peak of harvest, farmers can work late into the night by the light of this Moon.

Hunter's Moon - October

With the leaves falling and the deer fattened, it is time to hunt. Since the fields have been reaped, hunters can easily see fox and the animals which have come out to glean.

443 ?We descended it in a blessed night

971 ?We descended it in night Al-Qadr

973 Night Al-Qadr better than a thousand shahr

Better than 1000 full moons or 1000 months?

Solstice Moon Illusion June 16, 2008 Full Strawberry Moon or Rose Moon

Out of all the full-moons that you listed, the solstice moon takes the lowest path accross the horizon and thus has the most vivid reddish color and stays red the longest (thus the name strawberry/rose moon)

http//science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2000/ast14jun_1.htm

There are actually two solstice moons, the one right before the summer solstice and the one right after the summer solstice. So which one is it?

The word "ramadan"/scorching has two connotation (1) the color red (2) hot. Naturally, the solstice moon after the summer solstice would be the one that best fits those two criteria.

I hope this helps.

Peace,

Yes when I first saw the huge moon it freaked me out; thought it was going to crash into earth.

Was that ?night? (i.e. time sunset to dawn) better than a thousand full moon snapshots witnessed?

Or

Better than a thousand months (i.e. lunar cycles x 1000 = 80.852076 years or lifetime witnessed)?

How do we witness/know which of the four phases is full moon?

Some time ago I noticed that the full moon rose after the sun set. I didn'it verify the illumination percentage but my hunch would be that the full moon with the highest percentage of illumination would be the night it rose after the sunset.

Take a look at the picture I posted earlier and imagine walking outside seeing each of those four moons individually (don't have luxury to compare next to each other) -- how would be able to tell which is the full moon with less than .3% Illuminated Phase difference?

Peace Frida and All;

Ayman is avoiding to answer my point; as you can note, Summer was after the 4 restricted Month (9-81). in other words, Rammadan had to be 4 month before summer time, and cann't fall in June 15.
If Ayman does not answer, then, I will understand that Ayman is deliberately trying to lead people Astray.

95 So when the restricted months have passed, then you may kill those who have set up partners wherever you find them, and take them, and surround them, and stand against them at every point. If they repent, and honor the connection, and contribute towards betterment, then you shall leave them alone. God is Forgiving,

95 tells us that? when the restricted months have passed, then you may kill....?

Hence , 4 months later, when the war was going on as in
Free_Minds
981 Those who have remained are happy with their position of lagging behind God's messenger, and they disliked striving with their wealth and lives in the cause of God; and they say "Do not mobilize in the heat." Say "The fire of Hell is far hotter," if they could only understand.

..... "Do not mobilize in the heat." confirms that fighting was indeed engaged during the hot season.

Applying Ayman?s theory

The hot months in Arabia should stretch from May to August, which means that Ramadan must have occurred sometime in April/May according to the verses above.
So Ramadan was not in the month of extreme heat, if we believe Ayman?s theory that the sacred months follow Ramadan and than apply the evidence from the Qur'an...a contradiction here!!!

As nun de plume wrote earlier, we are getting there. Alhumdullilah, with the combined effort of everyone here, we are getting to the root question Hot/Ramadan or The Month of Ramadan. I would suggest we all do our own verification by looking into.91-5 and 81

361 Whoever debates with you in this after the knowledge has come to you, then say "Let us call our children and your children, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then, let us call out, and we shall make God's curse upon the liars."
