Peace Ayman,
My research so far indicates that you are right. Following are the average temperatures for NYC before and after summer solstice

Peace Samia
Let the actual debater Ayman accept that he does not know ,then I will put.
Why don't you ask him to put it or accept it.
RegardsThis is not about Ayman nor Rassulhamsa. It's about your unacceptable way of discussing. From your response I understand that you are unable to answer the very question you think you are challenging others with, so please do not participate with the intention of challenging others and intimidating them, thus derailing serious discussions. . End of this discussion.

Peace Progressive1993,
That fast is going to be hard... aprox. 18-19 hours in summer...good luck.
Thanks for the encouragement. Keep in mind that per 2184, those who can fast but with difficulty, can instead feed the needy.
Notice that feeding the needy at the time of hardship is described as taking the steep path in 9014-16. Fasting on the hottest time of the year and when days are longest is also taking the steep path.
Peace,
Ayman

Peace Ayman,
I have a question about the period of "shahru ramadaan"... Based on 2184, you agree that we can substitute the action of "seyaam" by feeding the poor. However, shouldn't the poor people be fasting/abstaining from food too (if this is what the act of seyaam is implying)? What if we approach a poor muslim, can he eat during this period if he witnesses the "shahru ramadaan"? Or is it possible that the act of "seyaam" is referring to something other than abstaining from eating and drinking? I was just wondering, since this is something I couldn't understand from the passage... How do we know that the Qur'aanic command to "abstain" is speaking about from eating and drinking?
Peace,
Ahmad

Peace everyone,

The poor don't have enough food to eat for the whole year and they are in a perpetual state of abstinence from food for the whole year. The annual time of abstinence will actually be a time for them to rejoice because some believers might feed them and they will have enough food for at least the duration of abstinence. I know a person who is poor and she resides in a highly developed country. She has been eating only once a day for a long time now. What I am talking about is a reality.
-
The annual abstinence is only for the mumineen/believers and not for all muslimeen. There are a lot of poor muslimeen too; not all of them are mumineen.
-
There are an overwhelming majority of poor who are not even muslimeen. The qur'aan does not ask us to feed the poor muslimeen only. They could belong to any faith or religion.
A little common sense goes a long way to understand the qur'aanic commandments.
The only time there will be no poor to feed during the time of abstinence is if there are no more poor people in the world which is impossible or if all the poor people are also mumineen which is again impossible
6116 And if you obey the majority of those on Earth they will lead you away from God?s path; that is because they follow conjecture, and that is because they only guess.
This sign makes it clear that the majority of the people lead away from the god's path so all poor people in the world being mumineen will be impossible.

I think that 2187 makes it clear that the abstinence is from the following 3 things
- Sexual contact
- Food
- Drink
The poor should be abstaining too. However, everyone, poor or not can eat after sunset. What do the poor do now when they fast 30 days using the sectarian timing? Does everyone stop feeding the poor because of this and they starve to death? Certainly not! In fact, during those 30 days the poor have a lot more access to food because many good citizens set up public feasts at sunset.
Peace,
Ayman

When do you break your fast? Full darkness of the night or dusk?

Ramadhan (the month of fasting ) is likely to start to start during the last ten days of August because today is Rajab 1.
RegardsIt's the 21st
-
Had Umar decided to make the new era start on 616CE instead of 622CE then what sectarians now call Rajab 1 would have been Ramadhan 1 and they would be fasting right now.
Thank God that he didnt. laugh
I dont care about the shifiting, BTW. -
And Umar did not try to befool people with "inscriptions".
Regardsso how did he try to befool people then? in the name of "authorities"? confused
