Hot/"ramadan" Answer

Peace Rex,
Quote ?If husband died today which calendar is used to count exactly one year with 12 equal months??
The answer is the lunar calendar.
One month = one moon cycle = 29.530 days (length of all months are 29.530 days)
One year = Twelve months = 12 moon cycles = 12 * 29.530 = 354.36 days.
Therefore, the count starts when the event is triggered and ends at 354.36 days after the trigger.
Example Say the event occurred today at 1000 AM. The end point is 354 days + 0.36 day (8.64 hrs.). The obligated period ends on 354th day at 63824 PM.
Four months + 10 days =128.12 days. Therefore, if the event starts at 1000 AM today, the end point is on 128 day at 12 5248 PM.
This is one way of looking at it. You can also map the time base on sunset as the start of the day. The principle is the same.

Quotes from Ayman
?....... The night of the scorching full-moon for 2009 was July 6.........?
?........For next year, the scorching full-moon will be on June 25, 2010. ........?
The length of days between July 6, 2009 and June 25, 2010 is 354 days. This is lunar based timing system which does not synch up with the seasons. Ayman has disproved his own theory. Way to go Ayman! Thank you for helping me.
The difference between the Ayman's period and solar cycle is 11 days. He has invented the lunar cycle.
Since Ayman is using moon as the reference, the system has to be in synch with the lunar cycles. The issue is Ayman has no knowledge of it. He is clueless of what he did. How sad. He doesn't even know his own system.

Peace Farida,
I stopped contributing to this forum as I had my own grievances, but today I logged on only to say this handshake
You are absolutely spot on and I would challenge all of Aymans cronies to spot their so called sharul Ramadan without the aid of manmade system. No wonder he has ignored your responseI am sorry to hear that you are still bitter and I wish you peace.
Peace,
Ayman

Siki goes on about chaos in a Pakistan of moon sighting and pays no attention to the fact that fifteen hundred years ago there was very little pollution in the world and spotting stars and new moon was not difficult. Stars were used for navigation and the moon for measuring the months; it?s only in the last two hundred years that the skies have started to be covered by light pollution as well as smog which makes it difficult to fully appreciate the beautiful night sky.

Pollution has appeared in the land and the sea by the hands of the people for what they earned. He will make them taste some of what they have done, perhaps they will revert.By advocating a system of fasting according to each part of the world Ayman and his followers are working on a system which is described here
Free_Minds3032
Or like those who split-up their system, and they became sects, each group happy with what it had.Wishing all those who believe a very happy month of Ramadan sun
peace1000 x bravo
I wish the best of luck of luck and success for all those fasting in the month of Ramadan (Shahr Ramadan).

I just spent ages reading and scratching my head trying to get to the bottom of this ramadan scorching heat business. I am now very confused. I was looking forward to Ramadan starting on the night of 20th Aug 2009 (there's a full moon pic on my calendar but it's an american/jewish calendar (another story!), and I'm in Europe, to add to the confusion!?!)
So... How long is the fast? I'm hearing 30 days, I'm reading 10 days. I'm reading full moon to the crescent (10 days) but a month is 30 days, Solar month (August) is 31 days, Lunar month is 28 days? Also then I'm reading here that with there being 4 resticted months or 4 restricted moons, I'm now worried it might be 4 months of fasting, but I must have read it wrong (I'm a bit confused about the numbers in the words eg 7aj and 7ajj what does this mean please?)So maybe in 2189 which is telling us about the back doors and the front doors and to not beat around the bush, it means to just do the fast and get it over with instead of worrying about the tiny details... maybe it means anytime you see the full moon you should fast in that month. Cos I know sometimes I notice the full moon, I just HAPPEN to see it. But I'm not usually looking for it. And more often than not, the full moon comes and goes without me seeing it. Then again, I don't get out much.
Ok I better not conjecture any further, that is indeed wrong, better get back to using my mind, heart, brain, eyes and ears and work out what I'm going to do about Ramadan this year! Insh'Allah next time I pray, as always, I will ask Allah to guide me aright and keep me off the wrong path, and surely if my intention is to fast purely for the sake of Allah even if I do not know whether it is for 10 days, 28 days, 30 days or 4 months, then better I do some rather than none.
Peace, salaams and best wishes x

The fast is for the entire month of Ramadan. So stay away from them pharesees and teachers. And it has been made well known so lets not let the matter fall into dispute...................

I have been reading this thread for a while now. I see a debate going on but its going in circles. I also sense that many are not ready to research and accept research on face value when it comes to religion and see that its not the end to anything, its a theory at the end and if its logical good, if its not then you say thanks for your efforts.
I been reading the debate about summer solstice theory by Ayman. Very logical arguments so thank you for your research Ayman and may it continue.
I been reading the theory of the winter solstice by Layth in 'The Natural Republic'. Again very logical arguments so thank you Layth for your research may it continue. Just incase you are not familiar with TNR here is a summaryThe calendar of God is one that exists in nature and
which utilizes the entities of sun, moon and star to make a
perfect timing mechanism that is in-line with nature and
in-harmony with our movements through the universe.? The year according to the Scripture is 365 days
(1247, 1712);
? The calendar system for the year is luni-solar
(1712, 105);
? The most special event that occurs during the
year is the Night of Decree (974) which occurs
on the winter solstice.
? The count of the months begins with the full
moon (2189, 3639).
? The month of the winter solstice is known as
the month of ?Ramadhan? (2185).
? The month of Ramadhan is ?Month-1? in the
Islamic calendar;
? Three months of Pilgrimage follow the month of
Ramadhan?all four months are restricted from
hunting any game, while domestic animals and the
catch of the sea are lawful (92-5, 2217, 51, 596);
? After a count of 12 lunar months, if a 13th full
moon appears a full 30 days before the next
winter solstice, then such a month is to be
ignored and counted as ?month zero?.We also have the lunar month theory which is well known and Ramadan the month that is the 9th lunar cycle. Again some good argument and points made by people defending this theory, please keep it up.
For us to be progressive and find the truth we need such research and debating forums. We must remain patient and be civil, and present theories and views in this manner and let the reader decide which is more logical.May God lead us in the right path.
Peace

I think that those who experience confusion might be taking info too fast and not seeing how everything is connected in the big picture.
If you notice, those who promote the traditional timing are the same folks who promote Mecca and its pagan shrines and rituals. Those folks have the bigger issue of the only unforgivable sin of idolatry to worry about and timing should not be the highest priority issue for them anyway.
Unlike the traditional understanding in which everything is disconnected, so that for example the arbitrary timing has nothing special to do with the mindless pagan rituals that they call Hajj, the proper understanding connects all those issues.
Peace,
Ayman

Peace Ayman
I think you hit the nail on its head when you said people might be taking info too fast! I think people should digest the information given, do their own research and then make a logical decision.
Peace

Ramadan (for me at least) starts on August 21st. Dont let people confuse you - the fast lasts for 1 full lunar month.

You are right those who try to make a big thing out of small language understanding are trying to create confusion in a system which was established by the last prophet Mohammad for the whole world. No matter how divided people are they unite in fasting in the same lunar month and it has not been changed but just been given a year number by the Khalifa Umar who was no dictator but worked with the aid of people who were alive at the time of prophet Mohammad.
The introduction of corrupted ahadith can not provide an excuse to dismantle this most natural system where you would experience fasting in all seasons and comes back to the position it had in relation to the solar year approximately every 33 luner years. Thus the system synchronize back to the first event which took place in summer; the night of power Surah 97. Power, Fate
- We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power
Now look at the system advocated by Layth and Ayman who think they can understand the Qur?an with the help of a classic dictionary better then the prophet. confused
4413 How is it that now they remember, while a clarifying messenger had come to them?hmm
Imagine a system where blind people are not expected to fast in this blessed period the discriminatory system designed for those with vision ????
Imagine a system where there is no fasting if the sky is covered by the clouds so no sighting of the full moon thus no fasting ????
Imagine a system where "the new prophets" working out a Solstice full moon without the aid of man made system rotfl
(As pointed out by guest here Quote from guest on August 15, 2009, 064400 PM)Those who are genuinely interested in problem solving do not ignore vital points raised unless they have their own agenda. !
Make the most of Ramdan which is a blessed month for the whole mankind. peace

Salam,
Exactly! a regional based system depending on the full moon sighting yay
Londoner are likely to miss out as its mostly cloudy here eatWho said about sighting only? Is it the same as sighting new moon just like tradisionalist do? If they cannot see the new moon why they can decide starting month (although with some difference in different region/sect) but can not decide if using full moon as marker? WHY?

But Ayman, you still havent come to a conclution. It seems you are still only conjecturing and trying to find a way to prove your therom. I dont see what the big deal is on this one anyway... They say Ramadan start on the 21st ( my b-day D). So when do you say it start? All you do is write all this conjecture and baseless stuff, and then tell us to find the conclution or whatever..... peace

I hope that people in UK are watching the Debate on Moon sighting on Islamic channel. It seems they are all over the place on which day to start the fast. It seems like the birth of the new moon is the most difficult thing to sight. A logical argument is that why dont we use mathematical calculations to take over the sighting my eye. Seems logical but the panel is very split on this. Its very confusing and I am not sure that all sunni's are clear or able to agree on a start date. Mathematical calculations show that it is not possible to view the birth of the moon on Thursday or Friday night as the sun will obscure the view. There is a small window to sight it on Saturday, so fasting could start on saturday or sunday and I bet not all muslims will start on the same day, as a result eid wont be on the same day, how confusing is that. I really don't think the Umma is united which is a shame. I say this because If I start fasting according to my local mosque on saturday some of my friends might start earlier or later so we wont be able to celebrate Eid together. I remember a while back I sent a friend of mine a text to say Eid mubarak and he said eid is tomorrow, makes me feel if I followed the wrong advice. Oh well the debate goes on and unity goes begin.
Peace
