SunDown Or Last Sun's Rays Out?

salam everybody
I think the begining of the night/layl is when a star appears in the sky, this is according to the verse
(676 ) which link the night to the starSo i think the star is the sign for the begining of the night.
also, in the quraan the word night is mostely associted with the word darkness , so it is the darkness of the night which make the star be apparant to us.I myself break the fasting when i see the star.
This is as far as i understand, which to read ur comments? -

siki,
if I understand your comments correctly, it seems you are implying I choose one option over another due to it allowing me to break fast quicker.I think your comment is a good indicator of the strength of your argument.
Perhaps, rather than asking who agrees with truthseeker, you should ask if anyone agrees with you.

I am not promoting for anything , i am just telling my understanding which is open for discussion.
P.S. what is karwa chauth hmm?
laugh JOKING
Karwa Chauth Fast
Karwa Chauth fast preparations are made before dawn. Suhagins (married Hindu women) wake up at around 4 am and take their bath. After performing daily prayers women in the family gather together and consume food items collectively called ?sargi?. Apart from food, the sargi also includes fruits and sweets. Traditionally, the sargi is given to the woman by her mother-in-law. After the sargi, women observing Karwa Chauth fast do not consume even a morsel of food or a drop of water. Some modern day women who find the fast too rigorous consume water or milk during the day. Pregnant or sick women are also given a leeway during the fast and are allowed to consume fruits or any other food item considered necessary in their condition. Interestingly, many loving husbands too observe a fast for the sake of their wife. Though there is no such tradition, they do so out of love for their wife. The rigorous Karwa Chauth fast is broken only after moonrise which usually occurs after 8 pm.

Wakas,
After knowing you long enough I am not implying any thing, but just experimenting on a little bit of leg pulling. But then again , knowing you, it is a bit of surprise for me and I am afraid that is not pleasent enough. Did you really go through this thread thorougly? And if yes , do I dare ask , as to what made you still think that way ?

Please see this article
fasting is only for those who witness the relevant full-moon / month.

It may have only worked for those in the UK. I used that link because the new free-minds website does not seem to have all articles uploaded yet.
In any case, use this link instead
http//web.archive.org/web/20071102185353/http//free-minds.org/articles/science/timing.htmYes, it is in Quran. I strongly recommend using sites like www.studyquran.org
Using the above site, one can simply look up the topic list under "R" for "ramadan" and you will see the verse I'm referring to there.

Anna! The article reference by wakas does not contain any answer to your question.
And also, I do not have a very satisfying answer for your intelligent querry. I have refered it to brother ayman in hot ramdhan thread, lets wait for his answer.
Interestingly though at this point in time , I agree with his revolutionary Schorching red moon theory, but minus his recommendation of breaking fast at sun set. Which I expect of him to amend, as we have stumbled upon some new evidence from the great reading in favour of layal not starting at sun set (Ghoroub/ Daluk ul shams)

thank you, i didnt find anything, but i was going to read through it again, maybe i had missed it the first time, but i see you have assured me now, i will wait for his answer. -
Let me put it as simply as I can
Ayman's article (http//web.archive.org/web/20071102185353/http//free-minds.org/articles/science/timing.htm) makes a case for "shahr" meaning "full-moon" and even references 2185, see quote below
- The full moon of scorching heat is when the reading was descended as a guidance for people and clarifications from the guidance and the criterion, so whomever witnesses the full-moon, let him abstain it. And whomever was sick or traveling so a count of other days. The God wants to facilitate and not make it hard on you. And so complete the count and magnify The God for what He guided you and perhaps you would be thankful.
I have highlighted in bold the relevant part to the question. If one is able to witness it, you then comply by swm/abstaining/fasting.
Thus, the only question you have to ask yourself is in the areas where it is daylight or night for months is it possible to witness such an event?
If you answer no, then you do not swm/abstain in that period and are given options in 2184. Simple.
