    Peace everyone,

    So, you don't deny that calculating the Month starts from the New Moon (Waxing crescent) in all the Books.
    So, why do you want to reject God's commendment? Is not enough for you to know that is what God's wants? Why cann't you say "We Hear and we Obay"?

    The above is a perfect example of fallacy of false premise. giveup

    Everyone is invited to study the various logical fallacies

      Peace Tlepsh,

      What does Lane say about "3iddat AL-rijjal", if anything?

      Can you tell Samia, Truthseeker and me what you think the difference is between "3iddat AL-shuhoor" and "3iddat shuhoor"?

      Peace,

      Ayman

      Peace Ayman,
      Thank you for your comment. You are right.
      Yes it says the COUNT.

        Peace truthseeker,

        It would be nice if someone can explain this from the grammatical angle, whether this 'wa' can be used as an additional description or not but I also know that even in the study of arabic grammar, there is taint (rules that don't agree with the great reading). I agree with this conclusion of yours and it makes the most sense

        But this would not include women who never had menstruation (primary amenorrhea). Because of that I would tend to favor your understanding if that is grammatically possible.

        Taking this verse and 2228 which are about 'divorce', 2228 covers the case for all who have a menstrual cycle, they use it to count by. I see 654 as covering those who don't have a menstrual cycle, due to pregnancy (which is understood) or otherwise, so we have the full moon event to count by or the delivery event to use as an ending. Nice and simple to me. &nbsp Let me know what you think.

          Peace Ayman,

          There are three kinds of women divided into two groups

          GROUP 1 ----> Wait 3 full moons

          1. Those who have despaired of menstruation (100% sure are menopause).

          GROUP 2 ----> Wait gestation period
          2. Those who didn't menstruate (for any reason but didn't despair of menstruation)
          3. and those who are pregnant.

          Same as according to you (women who menstrate)...
          IF divorced day before a menstruation she waits 2 months
          IF divorced day after a menstruation she waits 3 months

          3 menstruations.

          Same as according to you (women who menstrate) if they had to wait four instead of three menstruations...
          IF divorced day before a menstruation she waits 3 months
          IF divorced day after a menstruation she waits 4 months

          By your measure, the god telling the women who menstruate to wait for three menstruations is equally absurd contradictive and inconsistent since it is an indisputable fact that
          IF divorced day before a menstruation she waits 2 months
          IF divorced day after a menstruation she waits 3 months

          Notice that you are not arguing anymore that "shahr" meaning full-moon is baseless.

          It is not my problem that you can't read.

          Ayman?s full moon calendar

          1. APR 20, 2008
            April 21 ? divorce Mrs. A (100% in menopause).

          May 19, 2008 ? divorce Mrs. B (100% in menopause).
          12. MAY 20, 2008
          13. JUNE 18, 2008 (Skip as per 936)
          Summer Solstice 2008

          1. JULY 17, 2008 (scorching full moon 200
          2. AUG 16, 2008
          3. SEPT 15, 2008

          How many days must each woman wait?

          Ayman's answer -- the same as menstruating women!

          Which menstruating women?

          http//www.mckinley.uiuc.edu/Handouts/irregular_menses/irregular_menses.html

          The average length of the menstrual cycle is 28 days, however in reality the normal menstrual cycle may vary in length from 26-35 days.

          1 lunar month is exactly = 29.53059 days
          Menstruating women are inconsistent and have little to do with full moons!

          92 So travel in the earth four full moons

          Ayman?s full moon calendar
          11. APR 20, 2008
          April 21 ? incident Mr. A

          May 19, 2008 ? incident Mr. B
          12. MAY 20, 2008
          13. JUNE 18, 2008 (Skip as per 936)
          Summer Solstice 2008

          1. JULY 17, 2008 (scorching full moon 200
          2. AUG 16, 2008
          3. SEPT 15, 2008

          How many days does each man travel?

          492?And whoso finds this beyond his means, he must fast for two consecutive full moons?

          How many days does each man fast?

          Ayman's answer to all the above -- the same as menstruating women! laugh

          Goodbye and peace be upon you!

            Peace Ayman

            So is this how the additional month is used, by not droping the . 37 ( the . 37 is almost 50% ( nearly half a month), thus every other year it would add up to close to a month ( the additional month/ or 13 months in one year )... If I am understandin this correctly. I dont know. And how do we only count 12 months and drop the .37

            And I would like some straight answers from you... And not no too long explanations...If you can, tell me what is is that you are trying to say in a couple sentances....I know we learn by reading, but I dont like reading long posts and dont be havin the paitience especially with no proofs. And bring your proofs. Gather all your evedences together. Do this for me.( quranic evedence or the previous Scripyure, or some real facts, about your claims. And we take it from there.

            peace

            Salaam Anthonywallace,

            You are expecting a short and precise and direct answer from someone who, along with his team is manipulating the verses of the Qur?an by ?Skiping as per 936? confused
            This in an organised attempt to establish a false system where there is no obligation on anyone towards Allah. I have never heard as much nonsense as this where if it?s cloudy no one has to fast, as you missed witnessing the moon. bravo
            In fact the month should not be taken into consideration as no one witnessed the full moon yay so no month if its cloudy, laugh Yet this team pretend to ask each other questions and level out all creases by saying ?that makes sense? hmm. Just go through this thread from the beginning and you will notice how it all started with Ayman proposing a system and few eloquent cronies quizzing him, soon to agree with him.
            Now you see a similar team, with new identities, come to establish his deen. They have deliberately ignored solid proof from the Qur?an against their system and their last wordl is "What does Lane say about."

            7176 If it had been Our will, We should have elevated him with Our signs; but he inclined to the earth, and followed his own vain desires. His similitude is that of a dog if you attack him, he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him alone, he (still) lolls out his tongue. That is the similitude of those who reject Our signs; So relate the story; perchance they may REFLECT.
            peace

              Peace everyone

              Following is an incomplete list of fallacies that I discovered in the above 2 posts wow giveup

              Ad hominem attacking the personal instead of the argument.
              Appeal to emotion where an argument is made due to the manipulation of emotions, rather than the use of valid reasoning
              Wishful thinking a specific type of appeal to emotion where a decision is made according to what might be pleasing to imagine, rather than according to evidence or reason
              Appeal to spite a specific type of appeal to emotion where an argument is made through exploiting people's bitterness or spite towards an opposing party
              Appeal to motive where a premise is dismissed, by calling into question the motives of its proposer
              Appeal to tradition where a thesis is deemed correct on the basis that it has a long-standing tradition behind it
              Argumentum ad populum ("appeal to belief", "appeal to the majority", "appeal to the people&quot where a proposition is claimed to be true solely because many people believe it to be true
              Judgmental language It employs insultive, compromettant or pejorative language to influence the recipient's judgement.
              Straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.
              Texas sharpshooter fallacy in which information that has no relationship is interpreted or manipulated until it appears to have meaning.
              Bare assertion fallacy premise in an argument is assumed to be true purely because it says that it is true.
              Ignoratio elenchi (irrelevant conclusion or irrelevant thesis)
              Package-deal fallacy when two or more things have been linked together by tradition or culture are said to stay that way forever
              Existential fallacy an argument has two universal premises and a particular conclusion, but the premises do not establish the truth of the conclusion
              Argument from repetition (argumentum ad nauseam)
              Appeal to ridicule a specific type of appeal to emotion where an argument is made by presenting the opponent's argument in a way that makes it appear ridiculous
              Begging the question ("petitio principii&quot where the conclusion of an argument is implicitly or explicitly assumed in one of the premises
              False attribution when an advocate appeals to an irrelevant, unqualified, unidentified, biased or fabricated source in support of an argument.
              Moving the goalpost in which evidence presented in response to a specific claim is dismissed and some other (often greater) evidence is demanded.
              Cherry picking the act of pointing at individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position.
              Hasty generalization (fallacy of insufficient statistics, fallacy of insufficient sample, fallacy of the lonely fact, leaping to a conclusion, hasty induction, secundum quid)
              Spotlight fallacy when a person uncritically assumes that all members or cases of a certain class or type are like those that receive the most attention or coverage in the media.
              Thought-terminating clich? a commonly used phrase, sometimes passing as folk wisdom, used to quell cognitive dissonance.

                                I would rather say they are trying to distort the truth and I have no desire to appear angelical to anyone.

                                    Peace Umm Tariq and Truthseeker,

                                    Sorry you have confused me now too. confused Are you saying, as per your group 2, that 'and those who didn't/ haven't menstruated' should wait the gestation period of those who are pregnant? Maybe you made a typo? I would make
                                    group 1 ---> wait 3 full moons 1. those who have despaired of menstruation 2. those who didn't/ haven't menstruated
                                    Group 2 are those who are pregnant, their 'ajl', specified term til completion, is when they deliver, 'an yada'na hamlahunna'. Do we agree on this?

                                    How can those who didn't menstruate wait gestation period? They are not pregnant!

                                    There is no typo. Those who didn't/ haven't menstruated (but didn't DESPAIR of menstruation) should wait the gestation period same as those who are actually pregnant. This is the simplest and most straight forward interpretation of 654 without having to insert punctuations that don't make sense or interpret the "wa"/and between the two categories in a strange way. Since those who "didn't menstruate" didn't despair from menstruation, then this is also the only 100% sure way. Of course, everyone knows how long the human gestation period is. Even those who are not pregnant know it. Even men ) know it.

                                    In addition to being straight forward, this is also the only interpretation that guarantees that the waiting period command in 654 is not violated so it is nearer to "taqwa"/being careful/forethought.

                                    Peace,

                                    Ayman

                                      This is my understanding of verse 654

                                      I think the first part is clear Those who are desperate of menustration have their 3idda three full moons. (If you are in doubt) covers those who are semi menopausal, i.e those who start to have spaced menustrations (e.g every 4 or 6 months or even more spaced).

                                      The second part covers pregnant women, whether they stopped menustrating during their pregnancy or continue to have their periods. So, even if a woman has her menses during her pregnancy, she will still have her 3idda by giving birth and not by counting three menses. Taking (those who did not have their menses) as those who did not have their menses yet is illogical, because the verse says their 3idda is by giving birth. What if she was not pregnant?

                                      So we have two categories of women
                                      1- Definite menopausal and semi menopausal = 3 full moons.
                                      2- Pregnant whether menustarting during their pregnancy or not = delivery

                                        After I read 936, I continued to the following verse

                                        937 "The postponing is an additin of covering (the truth kufr), by which those coverers of truth (the kafirs) are led astray they make it lawful a year and restrict it another in order to adjust the count set by God for restriction, so they make lawful what God restricted. The evil of their deeds is made fair-seeming to them. And the God guides guides not the people who cover the truth (the kafirs).

                                        Who are meant by this verse? Any idea?

                                          Peace Belal,

                                          The Quran authenticates the previous scriptures, not the other way around.

                                          Peace all;

                                          It seams that Ayman and his sect are trying to cover up the Truth that I posted regarding the Month calculation in the Bible and Torah. the following is a Quotion from http//www.crivoice.org/calendar.html, which shows that God always wanted the True Submitter to calculate the Month using the Moon Cycel

                                          The system of keeping time in the Old Testament was based on the cycles of the moon rather than a solar calendar like we use today. In fact, the Hebrew term for "month," chodesh, means "new ," referring to the new moon that began the month. The lunar cycle played a significant role in the cultural and religious life in ancient Israel so that time could be counted by the cycles of the moon (Ex. 191). The New Moon was a festival day, observed by burnt offering and sacrifices as well as banquets (Num 296, 1 Sam 205, 1 Chron 2331). The New Moon festival was often listed along with Sabbath as an important religious observance (2 Kings 423, Ezek 4517). Like Sabbath and other rituals, it also came to symbolize empty and self-centered religion when not accompanied by faithfulness to God in other areas (Isa. 114, Amos 85). Likewise, the middle of the month or the Full Moon was an important marker of the passing of time. Two of Israel?s most important festivals fell in mid-month (Passover, Tabernacles; cf. Psa 813).

                                          Now; it seams that Ayman and his followers are rejecting the Quran, the Bible, and the Torah.

                                          By the way Truthseeker1, I'm still waiting for you to post the weather trend in "Madena" as you did for Mecca. ;D

                                          Salaaaaam
