The signs by which Laylat al-Qadr is known
The first sign it was reported in Saheeh Muslim from the hadeeth of Ubayy ibn Ka?b (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) announced that one of its signs was that when the sun rose on the following morning, it had no (visible) rays. (Muslim, 762).
The second sign it was reported from the hadeeth of Ibn ?Abbaas narrated by Ibn Khuzaimah, and by al-Tayaalisi in his Musnad, with a saheeh isnaad, that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said ?Laylat al-Qadr is a pleasant night, neither hot nor cold, and the following day the sun rises red and weak.?(Saheeh Ibn Khuzaymah, 2912; Musnad al-Tayaalisi).
The third sign it was reported by al-Tabaraani with a hasan isnaad from the hadeeth of Waathilah ibn al-Asqa? (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said ?Laylat al-Qadr is a bright night, neither hot nor cold, in which no meteors are seen.? Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer. See Majma? al-Zawaa?id, 3/179; Musnad Ahmad

peace,
therefore, we should use the Sun Phases, Day Light and Night, and the Moon Phases, the moon cycle, to measure the Year.
Now, the year consists of DAYS and 12 Months.
Is it logic to say that the Day would be measured by the Sun Phases, Day light and Night, and the Month phases to measure the month boundaries?
If you think we should use the Sun Phases to measure the Month and the Moon to measure the Day, please explain of how this could happend?bravo
Ayman still has to bring proof for his claims.
He doesnt and he can't, since there are no accounts (to mine and his knowledge) that monotheists used to fast after having witnessed a so-called 'full moon of scorcing heat'.
From submission.org
"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." This is not a special fast proclaimed by a religious ruler, because this particular king was wicked. Nevertheless, he did follow the formality of what was practiced the month of fasting. The time given for this fasting is stated to be the ninth month.
The season of the fast in this particular year, thought by many scholars to be 604 B.C., is stated to be in the winter. Jeremiah 3622, "Now the king sat in the winter house in the ninth month and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him." Now the present Jewish calendar adds a thirteenth month from time to time to match the solar year, so that the ninth month of the civil year (used in the dates of kings' reigns) falls in May or June, summer in Palestine. If we project the lunar calendar presently used in the Middle East back in history, we find that the ninth month falls in November of the year 604 B.C. It appears that during Bible times a purely lunar calendar was used, and the ninth month was a month of fasting.
936 The count of the months with God is twelve months in God's record, the day He created the heavens and the earth; four of them are restricted. This is the correct system; so do not wrong yourselves in them. Fight those who set up partners collectively as they fight you collectively. Know that God is with the righteous.
937 Know that accelerating the intercalary is an addition in rejection; that those who have rejected may misguide with it...
Edip-Layth - End Note 6 (936)
Verse 936 relates the number of months to the day of the creation of the earth. Perhaps in early days of the creation, the rotation of the Moon and Earth were synchronized and there were exactly 12 lunar months in a solar year. The increase in the length of the year or the decelerating earth is causing problems for modern technology which is very sensitive to small changes in the measurement of time, such as computers, electric grids, GPS systems, and missiles. In mid 20th century, scientists learned that the rotation of Earth was not sufficiently uniform as a standard of time. Besides solar gravity, there are many factors influencing the rotation of the earth. For instance, though in minor way, the Moon's gravity through tides causes deceleration, and melting of ice in the North Pole causes little acceleration. To compensate this net deceleration, almost every year we are adding one second to our atomic clocks, which defines and measures a second as 9,192,631,770 electromagnetic radiation or oscillation of Cesium 133. Since 1972 we added 23 leap seconds until 2006. However, the rate of the deceleration does not show a pattern. In recent years, the earth's rotation has been on schedule. See. 9122 -
Peace Rami,
Peace progressive,
The ninth month you just quoted is most probably the ninth month after the Abib. You don't have a reference to count form.
Maybe Ramadan is that month?
Peace,
Rami
I dont think you read carefully...
"Now the present Jewish calendar adds a thirteenth month from time to time to match the solar year, so that the ninth month of the civil year (used in the dates of kings' reigns) falls in May or June, summer in Palestine.

But a month of fasting for who?? There is no such thing in the Torah.

The Tanakh says so...
Again I need to say that I am not talking about your intercalary ayman-way month-counting Jews who dont follow God's system of 12 months in a year - I am talking about the righteous submitters who are described in the text (although the king is said not to have been righteous - neverthelss, he fasted).This is the text from submission.org again

The people fasted in the ninth month of their lunar calendar - just like we are told to do in the Quran. This is proof that people fasted exactly the same way as we do now. Ayman needs to bring proof for his claims.

Peace,
for those of you who are fasting, aren't you supposed not to argue while fasting?
anyways, for those quoting hadith, you are wasting your time on me,
Ayman is far from being a genius, but his understanding of the fast as decreed
in the Qur'an is spot on, and I invite you to follow it from next year, Allah willing,
if you wish to maximise your rewards.Ayman, please do not be too impulsive in making comments, as I have followed you since 2003, and several
times you make pronouncements before they are fully clear in your head, this confuses matters with peeps.
You have been blessed these times with ramadan, the hajj, so glory be to Allah, and let us thank him for those
insights.
Your insights in the Jinns are completely off the mark, unless you have changed your pop psychology interpretation,
and if I were to judge you on that alone, I would not accept anything from you, but we need to be mature enough that
in Ijtihad we will make mistakes, but we ought to be big and wise enough and humble enough to recognise that we made one.
I am also curious as how you read the Quran, and do you also take into account of signs that Allah sends along the way.
We do dismiss the signs we get when asleep, while at those times our soul goes back to our Maker, and gets re-programed
in some sorts of way, Joseph was endowed with the ability to read the programing whereas I suppose for us, it is subliminal,
and everyday, we wake up we get taken over by the day to day reality, and choose to over-ride "valuable" instincts that Allah
every single night re-instills in us while we sleep...
(For a flavour of this, -though in a psychological/psychiatric contest- you can refer to Human Givens - Joe Griffin & Ivan Tyrrell as a start up) - it is really fascinating... -

ANd Hajj is all about feasting. bravo bravo bravo
you last reply was funny too when you said, in urdu, 3shra is related to moon or month... rotfl
If you listen to Urdu radio service in Ramadan then you would hear about Akhri 3shra ie last ten days of the month and of course the night of power.
3shra is divided into three sections. The first ten days of the moon cycle is awasl 3shra, then comes the middle 3shra and then final 3shra.(Akhri 3shra )So 3shra is not an object call moon but the whole moon cycle from crescent to crescent.

BUT..... , 936 talks about counting twelve full-moons, ( not months) , in GOD'S RECORD (Different from 12.3 that you actually count). so we should count EXACTLY twelve full moons (not months ) to fullfil this commandement .
Peace
And that is what I and the believers are counting 12 Moon Cycles, as we are instructed by our Lord...Eventually we'll have to skip the occasional 13 th full moon (again not month) to acknowledge the God's will, and to keep in sync with that (natural) solar year , and hence the result is
1 - Ramadan will always occur at the same "hot" time of the year, and will not drift away and all around.
2- The restricted full moons ( i think you got it now that it cannot be months) will always be consecutive and will always sync with the mating season of the wild life.
3- Hajj will always be in the same period of the year (ie. the harvest, in order to witness the benefits of Allah and remember and thank Him) and will always be between early summer and early fall, (yes , GOd Allowed us to do the hajj whenever one wants within the 4 restricted full-moons (you know what bravo) . Moreover i think that's why fighting is not allowed in this periode (harvest) to let people gather their food. and it will be unfair to attack people while they are harvesting.And that is what I and the believers do not follow, because we know that our Lord did not Instruct us to do so...and from debating and reading the different comments in this thread, non have provided such instruction from Quran.
Therefore, you have your deen and we will have ours, and God will be the Judge in the Day were every one will be Judged.

My mother Allah bless her soul, used to tell me that Layaltul Qadr was a very short night in the year,
this was from oral tradition from bedouin tribes in the sahara desert, and so even though this does
not constitute a proof, for me it nevertheless constitutes a sign that it has to be in summer.
Jazakumallah khairanSalaam brother,
And your sister Farida is also saying the same, NOT about fasting but that Leilat Al Qadr is linked to hot weather, as the Quran was revealed, on that night, in the phase of the cycle where that night falls in the month of hot weather(in Jerusalem).
However for fasting?whoever of you witnesses the month/moon, then let him fast therein?; ? this section is about the month/moon that comes once in every 12 moon cycles.(like a birth month) leading you back to the original event the revelation of the Qur?an.
for this piece of valuable ijtihad, and I am so convinced that I will start enjoining those who ask to fast this way.
You are now going to enjoy ijtihad, Ayman cooked along with his team. eat
Brother I will soon be posting the Grand picture so do read it word by word please and then give your valuable advice.
God bless
