Hot/"ramadan" Answer
-
Peace Samia,
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.
Could it be that they were just trying to find an excuse, and that they were just lying and it was not really hot? The verse gives us their real intention, so what they were saying was not true. If it was really hot (imagine the heat of the desert during summer), wouldn't that be a reasonable excuse?I don't believe that it would be a reasonable excuse because the enemy would equally be affected by the heat. The main issue is that between 95 and 981 a lot of things have happened. There is no evidence that 981 immediately follows 95. If one uses the logic that the passages from 95 to 981 are arranged in a way that they immediately follow one another chronologically then this means that the battle in 925-26 happened before 981 and so did the event in 940. So either way, the idea that the events described in 981 immediately followed 95 is completely baseless. Months could have passed between the two. Fighting is allowed during the inviolable full-moons as per 2217.
Here are the facts
- A chapter of the great reading was descended (986) during this hot time of the year (981).
- The great reading was descended on the night of measure which is also called "shahr ramadan".
Based on 1 and 2 above the night of measure and "shahr ramadan" occur during the hot time of the year.
I hope this helps.
Peace,
Ayman

Peace Anwar,
Furthermore manAZIL like I stated before is a plural for manzil. Which mean literally place of descent. Madras/madrasah/pl. MaDARIS means place of study, masjid/maSAJID measn place of paying homage, i.e. worship. the form is maf3il/maf3al singular and mafA3IL plural. You don't have to explain Arabic to me. Unless you are trying to teach something in your dialect to me, keep the lessons to yourself please. From our conversations I think I know more about Arabic then you are willing to know.
As I said, no one with a grain of common sense would claim that MaDARS can actually mean a place for ignorance like you claimed that MaNAZL can be a place of ascending.
As for knowing Arabic, what you know is Classical Arabic, a theoretical idealized language of post-quranic literature that no one ever actually spoke. This is not only my opinion at this stage but this is what gradually the Arabic language research community is beginning to realize.
This is why you are unable to provide the "plain truth" as you claimed here

Peace,
Ayman, stop your manipulating and untruths. You have been spreading these untruths for too long. I don't know a theorized language I know a real one. Go back as far as you can and read anythin and it is all in what you call a theorized language. All of it. Even the Quran is in this so-called theorized language written with every case ending and even pronounced with them. That is proof that your ideas are the theories here, the false theories at that. You suffer from the epidemic Arab mentality of not being able to distinguish the evolution of the Arab language and the Arab people. And you don't even know your own dialect well enough to distinguish it and what it really is. For you it is all a conspiracy. Guess what, no one conspires to evolve languages they just do that. You can only get an audience on an internet forum like free-minds for these crazy ideas. And only ignorant Arabs can put forth or believe these untruths. Educated Arabs know better. Maybe that will set all the other ignorant individuals in motion here but the truth is that your camp is one of untruth and lies. You can only form your opinions by fabricating historical conspiracies and defaming dictionaries. The intelligent laugh at this, the ignorant actually take you serious. I am all for unorthodox, but unintelligent and uneducated . . . NEVER.
So here is your main lie here
As I said, no one with a grain of common sense would claim that MaDARS can actually mean a place for ignorance like you claimed that MaNAZL can be a place of ascending.
I gave you an explanation for why the word came to mean any general stage. It is an etymological explaination and it is admittedly an educated guess. You have always looked at things upside down which is why you come up with these cooky conclusions. Can you explain to me why someone's mawqi3 (remember root word is to fall) can be up in a tower that that they had to ascend to get there? Now if I say that the person's mawqi3 is up in a tower am I claiming that mawqi3 means a place of ascension? HELL NO! Likewise I am not claiming what you are falsely accusing me of. And if you beleve that that is what I think then you have a brain problem.
Now here's the main piont. We have to accept that mawqi3 like manzil has come to mean location and stage despite their (most likely) original meanings of descent and not ascent. Now if we want to guess how manzil and mawqi3 acquired these meanings (location and stage) that are indifferent of ascent or descent then we can go into some eytmological reasonings and probably propose ARCHAIC idiomatic usage of the word that allowed for it to EVOLVE into a totally separate meaning from its (most likely) original root meaing. So stop being foolish Ayman and acting like this upside-down, inside-out logic you use is going to get you anywhere.
You seem to be the only one theorizing on the Arabic language here with your shahr as ONLY full moon (ignoring all of the other meanings) and manaazil as descending phases of the moon. Give me a break! I think it is mighty big of everyone here to even be entertaining these fallacies of yours. All in the name of Free minds. But then you'll probably start talking about my Anwar-months, etc. etc. But the proof is in my previous post. And I don't have to ignore or pidgeon-hole meanings to come to my conclusions.
It's obvious to me that you don't even pay attention when you read the Quran. Just from our last conversation if you would pay attention to all of th spelling conventions used in the Quran that include case endings by using alif, waw and yaa, you would back off of half of these crazy conclusions of yours. You haven't studied language in general, and the Arabic language in particular, or even thought about it enough to propose half of the things you propose here.
Godbless,

Peace,
I guess another never-ending free-minds battle has been started. I'm sorry I have to speak the truth and denounce untruths. But I'm sorry for the virulent discourse that will follow this, zap my energy and waste my time for the next couple of weeks at the very least.
I'm hoping God shows me the worth of Free-minds some day. Because I only stay on here to help people understand things they don't. But most times people don't want help understanding anything they just want people to accept their ridiculous ideas because they are different, non-conformist, anti-establishment or radical. Woe to the rebellious! God is MOST GREAT!
Godbless,

Salaam everyone,
I am writing to bow out of this thread about Hot/Ramadan, as my journey was to find out the truth for myself and I have strong proofs from the Qur?an to believe that;
?Amongst those who witnessed? the month of Ramadan include all those who are present in this month and can perceive with their ears their eyes and their skins.
More importantly the month of Ramadan is not confined to the months of extreme heat.
If we say that 181 has no relevance to the earlier verse 91-5 still the fighting must be going on either after the sacred months or before the sacred months, but the fight was not during Ramadan as, according to Ayman, Ramadan is one of the sacred months..
The war in the past did not last for six days or so; it involved a long period of time Now it is for everyone here who wants to find out truth to work it out for themselves. We are all answerable to Allah for our own deeds.Even though ?the astro calculations of the movements of the heavenly bodies conforms with precise modern day calculations done by astro physicists and scientists and astro researchers? (Sibute ) the solstice moon has no bearing on ascertaining the month of Ramadan.
Thanks to Nun de plume for this very valid question;
How do we witness/know which of the four phases is full moon?
...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?Whoever feels a need to eliminate more possibilities, obstructing the truth, it?s their prerogative. I am not going to invest any more of my time in this thread.
?I am out?
-
Moreover, why shouldn't you consider all possibilities and eliminate them with a strong proof? "God could have said that" does not mean God said the opposite, and He does not "have to say" that. He did not say they were lying, so can you say that they were not lying because God did not say that when He "would have said that"?
Salaam Samia,
Please read the following verses and see if they pertain to your antics.
268 They said, "Call upon your Lord to show us which one." He said, "He says that she is a heifer that is neither too old, nor too young; of an intermediate age. Now, carry out what you are commanded to do."
269 They said "Call upon your Lord for us that He may clarify what color it is." He said "He says it is a yellow heifer with a strong color, pleasing to those who see it."
270 They said, "Call upon your Lord to show us which one. The heifers look alike to us and, GOD willing, we will be guided."
271 He said, "He says that she is a heifer that was never humiliated in plowing the land or watering the crops; free from any blemish." They said, "Now you have brought the truth." They finally sacrificed her, after this lengthy reluctance
hmm
All the best

Good verses farida,....
However this discussion is deeper than what I thought, and I will have to take my time to analize these posts further...
I have never really watched the moon phases and differences ect...and got into debth about the particular months the 4 months is ect...
But as of now, starting next year God willing, I will start my fast in august ( for it is the " hottest month. " that I know of, witness, and also feel over hear in Michigan )....unless my Lord guide me and forgive me, then I will surly be of those lost...

Salaam farida
I am not the one wondering what colour the moon is or what size it should be or when in order to fast. I just took the other option and decided to feed the poor. Look into the mirror.
Excellent point. Since the clear, absolute details of fasting have apparently been obscured (if it was easy there won't be all this debate over it) I think this is what I will do as well! What a load off!

If one uses the logic that the passages from 95 to 981 are arranged in a way that they immediately follow one another chronologically then this means that the battle in 925-26 happened before 981 and so did the event in 940.Yousuf Ali
Assuredly Allah did help you in many battle-fields and on the day of Hunayn behold! your great numbers elated you, but they availed you naught the land for all that it is wide, did constrain you and ye turned back in retreat. (9-25)
But Allah did pour His calm on the Mssenger and on the Believers and sent down forces which ye saw not He punished the Unbelievers thus doth He reward those without Faith. (9-26)
Again will Allah after this turn (in mercy) to whom He will for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (9-27)Ayman; you are twisting the truth; Why cann't you say what you understood when reading the above verses or the following verses?
If ye help not for Allah did indeed help him; when the unbelievers drove him out he had no more than one companion they two were in the cave, and he said to his companion "Have no Fear, for Allah is with us" then Allah sent down His peace upon him, and strengthened him with forces which ye saw not, and humbled to the depths the word of the Unbelievers. But the word of Allah is exalted to the heights for Allah is Exalted in might, Wise. (9-40)
Is it hard to say that these verses are reminders for the believers of past events?
So either way, the idea that the events described in 981 immediately followed 95 is completely baseless. Months could have passed between the two. Fighting is allowed during the inviolable full-moons as per 2217.
As we all know Chapter 9 is very unique; it is the only Chapter that the prophet did not start with "In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful"
If you read Chapter nine, you cann't miss how its verses are related to each other.
Here are the facts
- A chapter of the great reading was descended (986) during this hot time of the year (981).
- The great reading was descended on the night of measure which is also called "shahr ramadan".
Based on 1 and 2 above the night of measure and "shahr ramadan" occur during the hot time of the year.
I hope this helps.
Peace,
Ayman
Here are the Facts...wow Ayman are you a Prophet hail
Here are the Quranic Facts
9-81 was in Hot summer days
9-81 was after the Four Restricted months
9-81 is the strongest prove from Quran that Rammadan does not have to be in Summer time.another fact, from me
9-81 is the Nail in the coffin that ended your theory .
yes

hmm what about the poors if they are sick or too week and not able to feed poor pr

Soof,
According to my understanding
-
Ramadan doesn't mean hottest (it is not a superlative) but constant and/or intense heat (just as shana'aan, a word of the same form also mentioned in the Quran means constant or intense hate). As we know being hot is relative to how cold we were before and what temperature we are use to.
-
According to the case ending on Ramadana, which is equal to ramadaanan and because if we understood shahrun it would still be read as shah-ru ramadaana, I think it is talking about any month within a time of constant/intense heat.
-
The constant/intense heat (ramadaanun) being referred to here is obviously a time period as we are to fast for a month within it. So Ramadan as I see it is another way of saying summer. It is the only time of constant/intense heat during the seasons of the year. The words used for summer qaith and saif meant different things in different microclimates in the Arabic speaking world back then, so what better way then to refer to the actual weather pattern and how it feels? I think that was a stroke of genius.
-
A month is 30 sunrise to sunrise days as demonstrated in my post above and in Quranic examples where individuals to feed are the only expiations for days of fasting missed, and two months of fasting is said in the Quran to be expiated by feeding 60 individuals.
-
So we fast for a period of 30 days during our local times of summer, as the Quran was revealed during a month of summer.
Soof that is my understanding. Thanks for asking for a synopsis. I was glad to give it.

You are right; either 9-81 is related or not related to 9-1 to 5, it still shows that summer time was not within the 4 restricted month; simply because the prophet was asking them to fight in Summer time.
Ayman!!!
9-81 is too strong to argue aginest; and if you continue to ignor its proof that The four restricted month were not in summer time, including Rammadan, during chapter 9, then you will look BEAINLESS in front of everybody.Peace

Ok before I ask, I'm not trying to discredit your understanding or put any understanding I have over yours (as I know people can get sensitive about this). Is a month explicitly defined in the Qur'an or is every man woman child over the world supposed to know that a month is 30 qur'anic days from general consensus that is so apparent it doesn't need to be explained? A day is defined in the Qur'an, A night is defined, a year is defined. But the month? hmmm. God made it explicit for these periods of time so why not so for a month? (rhetorical) We all know the Qur'anic time measurement is not the same as the general time measurement (new day starts at 0000) as you showed with qur'anic days so what is the Qur'anic month?
