    Salaam young man

    The following examples will show that Hitler at the time of the Goebbels article (published on 16 November 1941) was voicing very similar views concerning the Jews to those expressed by Goebbels(the minister of propaganda)

    At his table talk on 21 October 1941, Hitler exclaimed about the Jews 'If we exterminate this plague, we will accomplish for humankind a deed the importance of which our men out there can still have no idea. http//www.holocaustdenialontrial.org/en/trial/defense/evans/430diiiC

    Yes! because the country is plagued with 180 million (minus a few) sunni sectarians,... siki on August 25, 2009, 070605 AM page 80 http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9188.msg218114#msg218114

    Let me tell you son I am from Pakistan too and it makes my blood boil when I see the majority there engaged in pagan rituals at all levels from dancing at the tombs of saints to Mullahs chanting like donkeys in the Mosque. Yet I would never use such a term (plague) for them all. I say to myself; God this is your creation and despite all the guidance sent to them they still chose the path of those who went astray. Allahu Aalum WHY?

    Now do you want to understand what is meant by "the Roman Salute" then please dont ask your father; he would be hurt; just google; Adolf Hitler, fascist or Nazi.

    May the god have mercy on us.

    peace

    Have you ever wondered why Hitler started to hate the Jews though he had many Jewish friends?

    What did the Jews do?

    Do you know the difference between the American Jew and the German Jew?

      Peace Samia

      Salaam Eid

      You have a funny logic!
      Words "attributed to quraan" are not the word "quraan" which you mentioned in your post and which I am talking about. Words referring to the quraan are attributes and have their own masculine and feminine description. They do not affect the gender of the word they are describing.
      The example brought by Ayman best explains this.

      And you cannot be critical to my post and to Ayman's at the same time if you know what you are talking bout (or maybe that was why ) Ayman gave an example of a "feminine" attribute to a "masculine" word . Just as saying . In both sentences, quraan (m.s) and man (m.s) are the subject and the attributes (f.s.) are attributes to the subject. Any verb conjugation, pronoun, demonstrative pronoun...etc will follow the (m.s) subject not the feminine (f.s) attribute. In other words, you will still have to treat the phrase as a masculine singular (m.s) and use the masculine singular pronoun in these two cases.

      I am afraid we are pooring water in the sand, and whatever we say or whatever we try to explain to him , i bet he (Nun, Holiday, Pseudo, Eid, Rex...) still cannot understand. It's like that, you cannot do anything...it's a hopeless case .

      @ Farida i never said that i am an arab, neither that i was proud of being arab. (i hate most of them, by the way)

      the fact that you speak english very well does'nt imply that you are (proud of being ) an english woman.

      But your arrogance has hit again, and you are turning yourself into ridiculous, trying to hunt any inconsistency in my posts. So please grow up...

      Well, i'll say it again I am PROUD of being an ARABIC, FRENCH, SPANICH, and "not bad" ENGLISH Speaker...but arabic and french are my best ..... )

      And because we are discussing a quranic understanding and quoting from the quran, and since the quran was originally revealed in arabic ( correct me if i am mistaking) ; so it make me very very very angry when someone quotes the quran with pathetic understanding due to the lack of arabic knowledge, and also the lack of the will to learn arabic.

      So that's why i am proud (not of being arab but ) of being a good arabic speaker...

      Salaaaaaam

      Salaam

        Yes I do, a lot of information now a days is available on the net about the conspiracy behind the hate campaign and who were actually killed and the difference you mentioned above. But I don?t want to derail this thread so let's not go off topic pls.

            Peace Ayman,
            As you can see, your points are in blue, and mine are in red.

            Quote from ayman on September 01, 2009, 105448 PM

            I never said such thing. I said it was descended in a scorching full-moon. This is the same as saying it descended in a blazing sun or a cloudy day, etc. Just like all the phases of the moon, the scorching moon is an entirely optical phenomenon.

            Day = Period of time
            Moon = Object

            Who are you trying to fool? You are just trying to save your 'scorching moon' theory at any cost.

            Quote from ayman on September 01, 2009, 105448 PM
            The great reading is about consistency. The great reading was descended in a scorching full-moon is more logical because it is consistent with the rest of the passage and other passages. For example, it is consistent with the following facts

            Maybe that is why the moon was split by Muhammad... the Quran was stuck in it (according to your wording).

            Quote from ayman on September 01, 2009, 105448 PM

            1. The great reading was revealed in the night of measure (1 night not a whole month).

            Are you telling me that this proves your point?

            Quote from ayman on September 01, 2009, 105448 PM
            3. The false understanding of ?month? creates an insurmountable logical absurdity since ?shahid? (witnessed) is in the perfect past tense so this implies that you have to witness the month and then go back in time and fast. Thus even the staunchest Sunnis admit that this passage is talking about witnessing an event (they claim to be the new moon crescent) and not a month. Rex and you can try to change the words of the passage to make it say ?witness the first day of the month? or whatever but this is not what the passage is saying.

            I have already explained the reason for the usage of the past tense... If you want, I'll post it again for you.

            Quote from ayman on September 01, 2009, 105448 PM
            This is just some ignorant crap as typical from Submission.org.

            Ignorant statement.

            Quote from ayman on September 01, 2009, 105448 PM
            The fast in the Bible is prescribed as one day and not a whole month.

            There are many fasts described in the Bible - either-or fallacy.

            Quote from ayman on September 01, 2009, 105448 PM
            If you believe in the Bible then you might as well go ahead and idolize Jesus.

            That's some screwed up logic you have...the above is fallacious as well, of course...
            Besides, we're talking about the OT part of the Bible... Jesus didnt exist in the time when the OT was published hint hint.

            Quote from ayman on September 01, 2009, 105448 PM
            An example of a Jewish fast is that of Taanit Bkhorot which happens on the day before the full-moon. Also, the 9th month of the Hebrew Calendar is Kislev which occurs in the November-December timeframe.

            Why are you switching the topic? Did the fact that the people back then - real Submitters - not your Jewish calendar people with the Mishnah and Gemerrah - used a pure lunar calendar freak you out?

            Quote from ayman on September 01, 2009, 105448 PM
            There is no evidence of a month called Ramadan

            LMAO. Is this the way you prove your points and refute others' ones?

            Jeremiah 369 "And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerusalem."

            Quote from ayman on September 01, 2009, 105448 PM
            let alone a 10 day period called Ramadan

            Why are you telling me this? Arent you the one promoting your lousy 10 days of fasting?

            Quote from ayman on September 01, 2009, 105448 PM
            I never said that it is a name so you are, as usual, building a strawman. I said that it is a common noun. The burden of proof is on you to show that there was a pre-Islamic month called Ramadan. I know you can?t prove it.

            The only one posting logically fallacious stuff is you. I presented my proofs to you - now it's your turn. As I can see from the above quote, you have none.

            So, where is your proof of people having fasted after having witnessed 'the full moon of schorching heat'?

            Have a nice Ramadan peace

            I am no longer a Sunna-rejecter. See 4:59-65, 62:2-4, 3:31, 4:156, 7:157 Messenger teaches and is to be followed and obeyed. Examples of revelation received which is not in the Qur'an: 3:123-126, 33:37, 2:187, 66:3, 62:9.

              Peace Ayman,

              There is no need to waste my time or your time or the reader time on this. I would suggest that you and anyone else who has doubts to do a Google search on full-moon illusion that happens around the summer solstice and the reason why it is more reddish in color than the other full-moons.

              Perhaps you forgot to take a good look at the picture of December 2008 full moon I cited. You will find it reddish in color. Enough said.

              You are free not to question anything and blindly accept manmade falsehood.

              No, I am asking you good and intelligent questions. But you are the one who is asking irrelevant and poor questions. You have created a fictitious problem and an imaginary solution. The house you created is worst than that of the spider house.

              Unlike some others on this thread, thank you for honestly admitting that the start of the sectarian timing for Hajj according to their calendar on 8th of Dhu Al-Hijjah (not with the new moon crescent as you say) and its end on the 13th of Dhu-Alhijjah (not with the crescent moon) is 100% false and arbitrary.

              I am in agreement with the 8th Dhu Al-Hijj. The point I was trying to make with the new moon crescent is the front door vs. the back door. The new moon looks like this ----) which is easily mapped to main entrance (welcome) or front of a house. As opposed to your crescent which looks like this -------- ( showing the back entrance.

              It is you who is beating around the bush. Your theory of starting the ?hajj? with the new moon crescent and ending it with the waning crescent results in ?hajj? lasting for 25 days. When you think of the front door do you think of something clear and apparent or of something hidden and dim? Which is the one that is hidden and dim, the front door or the back door? The full moon or the new moon?

              Here is the definition of crescent A moon that is between a half moon and a new moon.

              http//www.go-astronomy.com/glossary/astronomy-glossary-c.htm

              That?s why I said hajj start and end in crescent moon. I am using your translation "crescent" to defeat your theory. Per the definition you don?t get 25 days of hajj. You are totally confused.

              Your mapping of full moon to front door is irrelevant because it violates the definition of crescent.

              This off-topic. Please open another thread if you want to discuss hajj.

              Tell this to the god who designed this system. You choose to ignore it and instead follow an arbitrary and completely useless manmade timing system that you hypocritically don?t follow for any practical purposes.

              The God already told us that ?The sun is never to catch up with the moon - the night and the day never deviate - each of them is floating in its own orbit (3640). You are the one who is disobeying Him.

                Who are you trying to fool? You are just trying to save your 'scorching moon' theory at any cost.

                1 - Moon = object , correct ! but "full-moon" = a state of the moon/object. it also describes an event/trigger.
                2 - "scorching" full-moon is another state/adjective of the moon/object . So one cannot say that the quran was revealed in an "object", but one can say quran was revealed in a night (period of time as well as a day) WHEN the moon was
                a - in a full state (obvious),
                b - big ( because of its lower path)
                c - reddish and hot because of the summer solstice.
                it makes perfect sense. ( for those who can afford to understand common sense).
                Now this is @ Guest
                3- hence, "the hot-scorching-big-obvious-reddish-full moon" ie. "shahr Ramadan" is unique because it happens only once in a year, after the summer solstice. the reddish big full moon of December misses at least one important attribute "hot-scorching"...am i clear enough ?

                i thought some people on this forum had problems with understanding arabic, but now i see that they had big problems with english as well (((((((((

                    Indeed, some people dont understand English very well.. the Quran having been descended IN a full moon... very interesting.

                    2185 Shahru ramadana allatheeonzila feehi alqur-anu hudan lilnnasiwabayyinatin mina alhuda waalfurqan

                    BTW, what's the problem with not understanding Arabic?
                    Also, why the DOUBLE POSTING?
                    FYI, a full moon IS an object, or do you suggest something different?

                      You mixed the traditional Babylonian Jewish calendar with the Torah calendar. The idea of adding an intercalary months and the metonic cycle is Babylonian. The Torah based calendar calls the first crescent after the Abib in Israel the first month. So its auto-adjusting.

                      Excerpt from one of the links, http//www.crivoice.org/calendar.html http//www.abu.nb.ca/ecm/topics/custom7.htm

                      "The Rabbis would structure elaboate rules as to what constituted an appearance of the new moon, how many witnesses to the event were necessary, what qualifications those witnesses must possess, etc."

                      This shows how hard it is to accurately witness a new moon. The current sectarians who follow the Jews instead of The Quran have the same problem of determining the new moon every year and it is an empiric fact that there is always a dispute among them about the appearance of the new moon
                      The modern Hebrew calendar, since it is based on rules rather than observations, does not exactly track the tropical year, and in fact the average Hebrew year of ~365.2468 days is intermediate between the tropical year (~365.2422 days) and the sidereal year (~365.2564 days)

                          Salaam Samia,

                          You have a funny logic!
                          Words "attributed to quraan" are not the word "quraan" which you mentioned in your post and which I am talking about. Words referring to the quraan are attributes and have their own masculine and feminine description. They do not affect the gender of the word they are describing.
                          The example brought by Ayman best explains this.

                          No funny logic is the full moon.

                          she is not except a remembrance

                          "she/it is" can refer to any attribute of Qur'an; read context of 7431 and the verse posted...

                          72
                          A Book was descended to you so no strain be in your chest from it, to warn with it and a remembrance to the believers.

                          I am afraid we are pooring water in the sand, and whatever we say or whatever we try to explain to him , i bet he (Nun, Holiday, Pseudo, Eid, Rex...) still cannot understand. It's like that, you cannot do anything...it's a hopeless case .

                          Mos u fshi si miza n?n bishtin e kalit. -- Albanian proverb
                          Do not hide like a fly under the tail of a horse.

                          You are an ignorant pretender and cheerleader; answer the questions...

                          2183 Ya ayyuha allatheena amanookutiba AAalaykumu alssiyamu
                          O you those who believe, it is dictated on you the fasting.

                          2184 waAAala allatheena yuteeqoonahu
                          ?and on those who endure it -- obviously refers back to the fasting.

                          2185 faman shahida minkumu alshshahra falyasumhu
                          ?so who witnessed from you the month, so he should fast it?

                          While you have it as?
                          ?.so who witnessed from you the full moon, so he should abstain, the abstinence.

                          So yeah a double negative, if your vision is good, you are outdoors in clear weather lucky to see the full moon then avoid the fasting.

                          Likewise apply what was asked in the prior post...

                          583-4
                          And those who declare their wives as forbidden for them as their mothers
                          so freeing a neck from before that they touch each other
                          And he who finds not must do the abstinence two successive full-moons before they both touch each other
                          And he who is unable to do so should feed sixty poor

                          The abstinence two successive full-moons means wait until next 98%, 99%, 100% full moon then fast to next non-identifiable 98%, 99%, 100% full moon which is about a month +/- a few days for error.

                          Therefore, the abstinence of one full-moon is ZERO days!

                          1. Does he commence fasting? YES!
                          2. Can he sleep with his wife until the next full moon? NO!
                          3. Does feeding 60 poor equate to two months fasting? YES!

                            Peace progressive,

                            Also, why the DOUBLE POSTING?
                            FYI, a full moon IS an object, or do you suggest something different?

                            Sorry for double posting, i corrected.
                            no, moon is an object , full moon is an event WHEN that moon object is in FULL STATE. That's what common sense suggests.

                            BTW, what's the problem with not understanding Arabic?

                            The same problem with not understanding english.
                            Some may think that "workout" means working outside the office laugh

                            Peace

                              the tail of the Dog never gets straight.

                              You are an ignorant pretender and cheerleader; answer the questions...

                              That's what i am doing, answering, not cheerleading ignore

                                  Salaam Eid

                                  Forget about using 7431 to prove any arguement because it's the verse in question.

                                  (A Book was descended to you so no strain be in your chest from it, to warn with it and a remembrance to the believers).

                                  If you mean that this verse is your proof, what does it prove? It does not even contain (she/it is).

                                  In fact, it proves my point

                                  The two red letters are masculine singular pronouns referring to (A Book). They are the two translated "its" (underlined) in the English version of the verse.

                                  is an attribute to the book.There's no other word linked to it in the verse, and so to any one ignorant of Arabic, nothing shows it's feminine.

                                    Thanks God it can be both, so fasting IN THE FULL MOON does make sense, as well as quran descending in A FULL MOON. (the event , not the object)

                                    Thank you very much

                                      That is, of course, if 'shahr' means 'full moon'. And I still dont think that it makes sense, but if you think it makes sense, then so be it.

                                      Anyways, I am looking forward to Ayman's response to my post.

                                        i also (like you did) used dictionnaries to find that "shahr" means full moon.

                                          BTW according to PRL, the root of 'shahr' can mean 'full moon' AND 'month' (among other things).
