          Peace;
          I agree with you that most of what were posted are circular arguments. But the Quran argumants are not circular but straight ones; thus, behold your Quran when things become confusing. Look for the verses that were posted and collect them; and when you do, find a way to understand them, by which non of the verses is canceled out by other (God's verses will allways match).

          peace

            Brothers Nun and Belalhammad Peace.

            Please consider the following facts.

            "There is permanent night on half of the moon , and it's dark side has never witnessed the sun"

            "Planet Venus's night equals 117 earth nights, and is the only planet which rotates clockwise, and hence the sun rises from the west, and sets in the east"

            Now, being in knowledge of these facts , How can one not believe in Ayman's Red moon theory?

              There is no "dark side" of the moon unless talking about Pink Floyd...lol
              The moon get sunlight half the time same as earth because the moon also spins.

              We see the light side; they are in sync like a man/earth swinging a rope/gravity with ball/moon at the end.

              This is irrelevant to the topic and there are countless other mysteries in the universe...

              Are Cold Fusion reactors and Quantum Computers possible?
              Do protons decay?
              Does time decay?
              Are Black holes, Dark matter, String theory, Super-symmetry ? is ?theory of everything? or even this life real?

              632 And the life the present/worldly life is not except playing/amusement and play things, and (the) end's (other life's) home (is) better to those who are righteous, so do you not reason?

                Peace,

                Im starting to think. What similarities does Ramadan, and christian/Jewish fasting have?
                I mean dont they also fast?
                Rosh Hashanah
                At the begining of the new year.. a little similar to what Ayman was saying.
                http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosh_Hashanah
                It just leads back to the idea that perhaps previus scripture is important.

                Peace

                    The "dark side of the moon" is a misnomer. It is really the "far side of the moon" (relative to earth). I am not sure what this has to do with anything. All the phases of the moon are just optical phenomena that we perceive and no part of the moon actualy vanishes from existence when it is a crescent. It is always one and the same moon.

                    Peace,

                    Ayman

                        The followig is quotations from your link, which shows that Jewish used to use Lunar Year, and they calculate the month from New Moon (Waxing Crescent) to the next New Moon (Moon Cycel).

                        Begin Quote

                        Jewish Year Starts (at sundown)
                        5769 29 September 2008
                        5770 18 September 2009
                        5771 08 September 2010

                        Since the time of the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE and the time of Rabban Yohanan ben Zakkai, normative Jewish law appears to be that Rosh Hashanah is to be celebrated for two days, due to the difficulty of determining the date of the new moon.

                        End Quote

                        They did what Ayman Believes we should do "Ignore the Waxing Crescent". Also, please note how there year is less than Solar Year by 10 days (They use Luar Year)

                            Any idea what 34-12 is trying to convey?

                            34-12 And (We made) the wind (subservient) to Sulaiman, which made a month's journey in the morning and a month's journey in the evening, and We made a fountain of molten copper to flow out for him, and of the jinn there were those who worked before him by the command of his Lord; and whoever turned aside from Our command from among them, We made him taste of the punishment of burning.

                              Umm Tariq and I had a brief discussion earlier on this. I don't think that we have reached anything conclusive. You may want to read her post and my reply

                                I had to jump in again to comment on 3412. The translation you quoted is incorrect. There is no word for journey in the verse. The following is more accurate

                                3412 And to Solomon the wind/breeze, its early morning one full-moon, and its blowing quickly/briskly/violently in evening one full-moon ......................................

                                What this verse is talking about is the blowing of the wind forcefully in early morning alternating with blowing forcefully in evening at the command of Solomon. In other words, all this verse means is that Solomon was given control over when the wind blew with force. "Its early morning" implies "its blowing quickly/briskly in early morning", when contrasted with the second phrase "rawahuha shahrun".

                                  It has been quite long that i have learnt not to trust any translation, and reached the conclusion, that one has to burn one's own oil for deciphering the arabic.
                                  Actually , i wana always quote the arabic, but some how , i havent been able to find an easy tool on the forum to do that (any suggestions) So whenever you find a translated verse from my side , just take it easy, cause i have casually picked up any translation which i can cut and paste, to convey a refrence, or a theme , I may not agree with the translator.

                                  Now coming to the verse it self , there is a word shahr in it , how do you fit in that?

                                  peace

                                    Peace Siki,

                                    I was just trying to suggest a better translation and what I understood from the verse.

                                    I think the usage of "shahr" here is idiomatic, referring to alternate time markers, implying that Solomon could order the wind to blow forcefully whenever he wanted, miraculously by God's permission. For example, to demonstrate a miracle from God, he could have told his people that he will command the wind to blow forcefully early in the morning this coming full-moon, and then the next full-moon after that he will command the wind to blow forcefully in the evening. God knows better!

                                    To find out exactly what it means, we will have to travel back in time to Solomon's time or wait for Last Day and ask God or wait for Him to reveal its meaning before that. I think this verse is one of the "mutashaabihaat" (37).

                                    (20114) http//www.islamicity.com/QuranSearch/

                                    20114
                                    http//www.free-minds.org/quran/PM/20/114

                                    20114 Then High above all is God, the King, the True. And do not be hasty with the Qur?an before its inspiration is completed to you, and say ?My Lord, increase my knowledge.?

                                    For quoting Arabic, go to the websites I referenced above and just copy and paste the Arabic. Then you can use the font size button to increase the text size.

                                      Dear Ayman

                                      salam

                                      Anna , in another thread has asked a very pertinent question regarding fasting in the near vicinities of poles, to which wakas has refered her to one of your basic articles on the issue. He also recommends not to fast untill one sees the Ramadhan full moon, to which i agree. Now my question is , what is the anotomy of Red full moon in polar regions? Would we find there a schorching Red moon after summer solistice, or not?

                                      siki

                                        Peace Siki,

                                        Places on Earth North of 66.5 degrees will never see the full-moon during the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice. Hence the "shahru ramadhan" will not be witnessed in those locations.

                                          Nor would they witness the new moon so, as I said in this thread earlier on that in the far Northern hemisphere the moon will not be witnessed in the summer and there is no dawn and no sunset so as I understand it people of those Northern countries do not have to fast.
                                          Those who chose to artificially divide the day and fast do it to their own desire, but they would witness it when the Ramadanin falls in other seasons. Fasting in the month of Ramadhan is blessing for the whole mankind including the blind, no one is exempt except those mentioned in the Qur'an.
                                          peace
