Hot/"ramadan" Answer

Peace Belal,

Abraham didn't build any pagan stone cube. The present stone cube in Mekka was built by the Saudis in 1996. This is an indisputable fact.

That is where I believe the Kabba is

As far as the Hunting restriction, I still believe it is during the Hajj time while the believer is Hurm.

In 5.95 God commands the believers not to kill wildlife when they are restricted and explains to us how one shall be punished (or how he shall compensate) if he doesn?t obey to this restriction.

In 5.96 God tells us that there are two kinds of wildlife that in water and that on land. We do not have to impose any restrictions on water game but we must impose some restrictions to protect the wildlife on land.

If hurumun means a state of sacredness during the hajj which begins after the appointed places named miqat, which are places around and some kilometres away from Mecca, this means that God doesn?t know that there is no sea around Mecca and he allows us to kill wildlife in the seas around Meca while we are in a state of hurum.

Thank you Samia,

In this respect I have a question. I will be thankful to you if you explain to me the following.

In Lanes Lexicon page 2616 ka3b (&#1576 means ?eminence, or nobility, and glory.

Rajul 3aliy al-ka3bi ( &#1576 means a man eminent, or noble, and successful in his enterprises.

So in the same way can we say (rajulun hadyan baligha alka3bati) ( &#1616 man who reached glory in guidance?

5.95 ? ?..

Peace Ayman,

There is no violation and this is perfectly consistent with 2228

2228 And the divorced women wait for three menstruations...

No ?shahr? in verse.

Notice that here too there is no equality since depending on when the divorce happens (right before or right after a menstruation), the waiting period will similarly vary. In fact, 2226 and 2228 confirm that the way we count menstruations and the waiting period are the same (notice the same Arabic word "tarabus" used in both). So this means that like menstruations, "shuhur" are also "events" the only way this can be possible is if "shahr" meant "full-moon".

Woman waits 3 menstruations (not months) - Start day of divorce
End day of 3rd menstruation since divorce

Man waits 4 months (not menstruations) - Start day of oath
End exactly 4 months later

Menstruations are variable/inconsistent one-time events.

Month is fixed consistent ?time? between two events. This is basic logic.

This is not basic logic. This is your pseudo logic.

http//www.truthpizza.org/logic/badlogic.htm

You are essentially building a circular argument saying that "shahr" means "month" because "month is fixed consistent "time" between two events". As you can see, it is circular and begs the question because the assumption of "shahr" meaning "month" (the very thing you are trying to prove) is in your premise.

The other pseudo logic in your argument is that the premise itself is false since actually "month is NOT a fixed consistent "time" between two events". For example, February is not consistent with January, etc.

Please see my replies to Belal above. Again, 596-97 don't mention "hajj" at all so your argument is completely irrelevant to begin with. Your argument is based entirely on preconceptions from Hadiths that abrogate the clear hunting restriction and make it for the period of 8th of Dhu Al-Hijja to the 12th of Dhu Al-Hijjah and only for the area around Mecca. On the other hand, we are indisputably told in the great reading that the period is FOUR "shahr" and there is absolutely no mention of Mecca or any specific town where only there the hunting is restricted and no where else. So regardless of what you think "shahr" means, you are violating your own understanding by following what sectarians do. The god has made this clear, so don't dispute the god's restrictions and allow what he had made restricted based on your Hadiths preconceptions.

Peace Pseudo,
The following information is taken from the official site of the Ministry of Hajj Saudi Arabia for your information. The restricted area is shown in green color in the map given at the site. This area is called Haram (restricted area) and everywhere outside this area including the Red Sea is called Al-Hill (Free Area).

Location of Miqats
There are five places some distance from the Holy City of Makkah which pilgrims must not cross before they are in a state of Ihram if they intend to enter al Masjid al Haram for Umrah or Hajj. These points or stations are called Miqats. For map, see Location of Miqats

Dhu'l-Hulayfah This miqat is about 9 kilometers from Madinah and about 450 kilometers from Makkah. Dhu'l-Hulayfah is the miqat for those who live in Madinah and for those who approach Makkah from that direction.
Juhfah This miqat is about 190 kilometers to the northwest of Makkah. This is the miqat for the people who come from the direction of Syria.
Qarn al-Manazil This miqat is a hilly place about 90 kilometers to the east of Makkah. This is the miqat for the people of Nejd or for those coming from that direction.
Dhat Irq This miqat is about 85 kilometers towards the northeast side of Makkah. This is the miqat for the people of Iran, Iraq and for those coming from that direction.
Yalamlam This miqat is a hilly area about 50 kilometers to the southeast of Makkah. This is the miqat for the people of Yemen and others coming from that direction. It is the miqat for many of the pilgrims from China, Japan, India, Pakistan who come by ship.
The area outside the Haram, the holy land on which the City of Makkah stands, is called al-Hill. Muslims who enter the Haram area on business or for other purposes need not do the ihram before entering the Holy City of Makkah unless they have the intention to perform Umrah or Hajj. Muslims coming to Makkah with the intention of performing Umrah or Hajj must not cross a Miqat without first entering into the state of Ihram, unless they live within the area between Miqat and the Haram. In this case they do Ihram either at home or just before entering the Haram area.

Peace Farida,

This is because there is no single calendar and in the Quran the moon is held out as the one for keeping counts of days, the secret months are not to keep the count of time but a set of months when hunting is prohibited, which is a seasonal event in the different part of the world which can at time come within the month of fasting or Hajj if it falls in those months when wild life need to be preserved.

Thank you. Even though I disagree with you that "shahr" means "month", what you are saying is far more mindful of the god than what Pseudo or Belal are saying, which is nothing more than repeating the sectarian Hadith-based abrogation of the restriction by making it for no one except the pilgrims and only for the period of 8th of Dhu Al-Hijja to the 12th of Dhu Al-Hijjah and only for the area around Mecca (or Jerusalem in the case of Belal).

Peace,

Peace Belal,

Ayman, I believe that God has declared four months out of the twelve and called them Hurm "Restricted" (9-36).
And if one choose to perform Hajj in one of them, then he becomes under restriction "Hurm" from many things including Hunting. But when done with hajj, the restriction of hunting is no longer valid.

Sectarians believe that their so-called Hajj is from the 8th to 12th of Dhu Al-Hijjah. If you believe differently and think that the "hajj" should be in any of "four months" then please tell us what those four months are.

Peace,

Ayman

If you believe differently and think that the "hajj" should be in any of "four months" then please tell us what those four months are.

The following verse tel us that the four Restricted months are known to the Prophet and his companion

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 uphold the communion, and contribute towards betterment, then you shall leave them alone. God is Forgiving, Merciful.
95

And as I always said, until today, moslems sects are in agreement in what these months are, especially, Ramadan.

If hurumun means a state of sacredness during the hajj which begins after the appointed places named miqat, which are places around and some kilometres away from Mecca, this means that God doesn?t know that there is no sea around Mecca and he allows us to kill wildlife in the seas around Meca while we are in a state of hurum.

Using the fallacious logic you used above, then sectarians also say that there are many verses that tell us that the shrine in Mecca is known to the prophet and his companion and until today moslem sects are in agreement on this. This is clearly following nothing except your own whims. You appeal to popularity for the things that you like and then turn around and violate your own stand for the things that you don't like.

That is your Pseudointellectual logic )
Definition One who imposes a smart remark yet truly it makes little to no sense - nonsense. Usually happens when people come up with real bad comebacks that either make no sense or are thoughtless - empty words.

February is consistent with February of that year as is January per standard.

A "month" is fixed point-in-time (start of month) to point-in-time (end of month).

Time requires 2 reference points, this is basic logic else time stands still.

2217 They ask you about the full-moon (point-in-time) the forbidden, fighting/killing in it, say

Makes no sense, a ?full moon? is a fixed point-in-time as a clock stuck at 12 midnight

http//christmasallyear.org/images/image4.jpg

When a man takes an oath, the clock starts (that day) and ends 4 "months" later.

If 100 men take oath on variable days in the same month, their end date is not the same day after a full moon.

Peace Tlepsh,

The following information is taken from the official site of the Ministry of Hajj Saudi Arabia for your information. The restricted area is shown in green color in the map given at the site. This area is called Haram (restricted area) and everywhere outside this area including the Red Sea is called Al-Hill (Free Area).

The circle imposed is irrelevant to this discussion; you assumed a sea nearby and ridiculed God's verse which even with your logic nullifies much of the world including Jerusalem

"February is consistent with February of that year". rotfl

I hope that you can see why your circular reasoning is funny.

Here is what you said in your previous post

Month is fixed consistent ?time? between two events. This is basic logic.

So please show us the two events that mark February so that we can see your "basic" logic.

A "month" is fixed point-in-time (start of month) to point-in-time (end of month).
Time requires 2 reference points, this is basic logic else time stands still.

How is a month fixed? Is February fixed? How come it is sometimes 29 days? If a certain country makes up a month from February 1 to February 20 and calls it March and everyone in that country agrees, then is it a month?

2217 They ask you about the full-moon (point-in-time) the forbidden, fighting/killing in it, say
Makes no sense, a ?full moon? is a fixed point-in-time as a clock stuck at 12 midnight

It makes perfect sense. People usually ask about something using an important or a clear aspect of it. When people in the past talked about "Harvest moon", this didn't mean that the harvest only took place in one point of time with the clock stuck at midnight. Full-moon is a marker for the period between two full moons. It is just like "ywm" can be a marker or a 24 hour period. So it is used as a marker to mean "now" (a fixed point of time) and not a 24 hour period, for example in 53.

When a man takes an oath, the clock starts (that day) and ends 4 "months" later.
If 100 men take oath on variable days in the same month, their end date is not the same day after a full moon.

This has already been addressed numerous times by the fact that the same wording for counting the time is used in 2226 and 2228. Instead of your comebacks, please see my replies to Nun on this thread. )

I believe that I have covered all the points that I have knowledge of from Quran. Since last Ramadan we have been going in endless debate. Since I came to this thread, I have been very flexible in changing my Suni teaching when it contradicts Quran. But with due all respects, your theory about Fasting is refuted by many Quranic verses, and therefore, I did not change my old view about Ramadan or the time of fasting. As I said, I believe that the time of fasting has been the 9th moon month in the Lunar Calender since the prophet time till today.
Moreover I believe that the 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th moon months are the four restricted ones until proven wrong by Quran, Bible, or Old Testament (in other words, I need to search it more).

Thank you for answering my question. You see when you answer, you, I and everyone can benefit.

You earlier said that you follow "Moslems sects who are in agreement in what these months are". According to sectarians those months are Muharram (1st), Rajab (7th), Dhu al-Qi'dah (11th), Dhu al-Hijjah (12th).

So in fact, by pondering upon my question in light of the great reading (which clearly indicates that the four restricted "shahr" are consecutive), you have improved your understanding and are not following sectarians any more.

The next step for you is to stop following sectarians who think that the hunting restrictions are only for the pilgrims and only around a certain town.

If you read my previous posts (during Ramadan) you would have noted that I agreed with you that the four restricted months are consecutive (per 9-1 to 5); hence, the Quran united us.

The next step for you is to stop following sectarians who think that the hunting restrictions are only for the pilgrims and only around a certain town.

Here we can not agree; when saying that Hunting is restricted during Hajj is not because of Sectarians, but because of the verses that I posted before in which God says when hunting is violated, the person will have to kill an equal animal in Kabba (the one in Bakka and not Makaa )). Therefore, you need to rething your position in this one.
Peace

[belH]

Using the fallacious logic you used above, then sectarians also say that there are many verses that tell us that the shrine in Mecca is known to the prophet and his companion and until today moslem sects are in agreement on this.

I forgot to comment on this;
First when I joined Free-minds, I thought that Makka is where the Kabba due to sunism techings; but one brother told me that if Makka is the House that prophet Ibrahim built, why the prophets who proceeded Ibrahim never visited Makka...after all, they were Moslem? Then I new that there is something wrong, and therefore I evaluated my position to "Kabba is in Bakka and not Makka" (As the Quran clearly states it).

Therefore, Sectarian are wrong in this one as they are with many other issues (e.g., Stoning to Death)

This is funny. Now I am tempted to go in there and post something to burst their bubble and expose their falsehood.
