      Peace Afridi,

      So this thread is for you to post silly characters and pictures in the middle of a serious discussion. Have you contributed anything worthwhile so far?

      Muse had been fed lies by Neal Robinson as well as Ayman, so what is wrong if I post a very relevant reminder from the Qur?an. 496 O you who believe, if a wicked person comes to you with any news, then you shall investigate it. Lest you harm a people out of ignorance, then you will become regretful over what you have done.

      Every verses posted was relevant to the topic. You know what is the biggest problem with you people? You see the Quran as a guidance for Mushrik and rejecters not for yourselves and when you are reminded you feel offended although the reminder is directed at the believers!
      Read this is a a reminder for people who believe
      2951 Is it not enough for them that We have sent down to you the Scripture, being recited to them? In that is a mercy and a reminder for people who believe.

      peace

        And what is this is this a reminder for believers most wise and knowledgable Farida.
        And we place shields over their hearts, that they should not understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you mention your Lord in the Qur'an alone, they run away turning their backs in aversion.
        that is what you are conributed. ???

          Salaam
          Yes this is a very chilling reminder for the believers not to slump to that stege, ahh if only you would pay heed to the warning.

          We never annihilate any community without sending warners.
          By way of a reminder, and We were never unjust

          peace

              Peace Farida and Afridi, all,

              4724 Do they not then earnestly seek to understand the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up by them?

              I actually think that it is great that you have stopped arguing and instead have been posting those very touching passages. At least this is far more useful and I encourage everyone to ponder on those passages regardless of who posted them. Only those with pure hearts not locked by traditions and preconceptions can understand the great reading. This is a very relevant passage that applies directly to this thread and the issue of timing. If one starts from a pure heart, a clean sheet, without preconceptions then one cannot in a million years reach the sectarian calendar based on understanding the great reading. I admit that I am guilty of trying to find out the timing without preconceptions and based purely on earnestly seeking to understand the great reading. If I say what I am saying here on this thread in the middle of Mecca, I would probably be arrested and put to trial (this is if I don't get stoned to death by an angry "pious" mob first). Since you are the only lawyer I know on this thread, what would you say in my defense? I really would like to know. Would you even take my case or would you join the mob?

              I wish you peace,

              Ayman

                  So you admit that the solstice full-moon illusion is due to the full-moon taking a low path accross the horizon. Now use the following website and tell everyone the path that the full-moon took each month and tell us which TWO full-moons took the lowest path
                  http//aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/AltAz.php

                  Peace,

                  Ayman this fact is known to all...Now, if we follow your theory and Fast During the Solstice Moon, do we have to disobey our Lord and Count 13 Moon Per Year in order to Fast every year in the Solstice Moon Period?

                  Great, invent an imaginery meaning for "ma'adoodat"/few (3-10) to match your preconception. As far as I remember, the dictionary didn't say that it is "relative" and that 100 million which is relatively small compared to a Billion can mean "few". What you are saying is nonsense in any language, not just Arabic. If you didn't have your preconception from the sectarian nonsense then you wouldn't be stuck and forced to invent a new illogical meaning.

                  Ayman, as we have told you before, Madoodat Means Counted...It Does Not Mean 3-10 nor 30 nor 100...it does not mean few, as well...Simply, COUNTED.

                  Peace

                    Peace Ayman,

                    Here is the title of the entire article that you refer to

                    Why the Moon Looks Big at the Horizon
                    and Smaller When Higher Up

                    So you admit that the solstice full-moon illusion is due to the full-moon taking a low path accross the horizon. Now use the following website and tell everyone the path that the full-moon took each month and tell us which TWO full-moons took the lowest path
                    http//aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/AltAz.php

                    The answer is that the TWO full-moons that took the LOWEST path are the full-moons BEFORE and AFTER the summer solstice. This fact is so indisputable that I don't even need to check the data through the link about. However, since you are doubting this then post the data and show me wrong.

                    You did not even read the article and all the different theories;
                    here is the one from last year BIG ILLUSION before the solstice again....
                    http//science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/16jun_moonillusion.htm

                    There are other explanations, too.
                    http//facstaff.uww.edu/mccreadd/

                    The scientific challenge has been to explain why those equal angular sizes look unequal.

                    This article is long for three reasons.

                    1. It advances the relatively new idea (1965, 1970, 1985, 1986) that, for most people, the moon illusion begins as an angular size illusion which has several possible outcomes.

                    2. It reviews in detail the very few explanations of the illusion that vision scientists are paying the most attention to (and still researching). These theories are not simple.

                    3. It reviews in detail the latest theory (1985, 1986, 1989) that the moon illusion is an example of the less familiar, but ubiquitous, "size" illusion known as oculomotor micropsia/macropsia. Explanations for oculomotor micropsia then are reviewed.
                      For the moment, it seems to be the most satisfactory explanation.

                    The initial version of this article was placed on this web site in May, 1999 .
                    Major revisions were made in December 2002.
                    This entire article was revised on November 10, 2004.

                    Then, extremely important research on visual angle illusions was published in March 2006 in Nature Neuroscience. The article is, ?The representation of perceived angular size in human primary visual cortex,? by Murray, S. O., Boyaci, H., & Kersten, D. (2006).
                    It fully supports the approach advocated here, so it is reviewed in the "Technical Note added June 7, 2006., in the Introduction and Summary Section,

                    It is analyzed in detail in Appendix B (posted February 5, 2007).

                    FACT THERE WAS NO FULL MOON ILLUSION AFTER THE SOLSTICE ON JULY 18, 2008!

                    FACT You did NOT witness a full moon illusion after sunset last year on JULY 18, 2008!

                    FACT No one saw a full moon illusion (they called it a regular full moon) which was NOT even full after sunset!

                    FACT YOU ARE FASTING ON THE WRONG HOT MOON!

                    FACT YOU HAVE BEEN PROVEN WRONG AND STILL POST ABOUT ILLUSIONS!

                    Now, you want to admit that full moon illusion has ZERO to do with this and move on to the next question or do you want to say that you or anyone else saw a full moon illusion last year July 18 after the solstice?

                      Peace,

                      Ayman this fact is known to all...Now, if we follow your theory and Fast During the Solstice Moon, do we have to disobey our Lord and Count 13 Moon Per Year in order to Fast every year in the Solstice Moon Period?

                      this one is easy, let the cheerleader captain answer No we count 12 full moons/not months between 2 summer solstices. And eventually skip counting the 13th full moon/not months to keep in sync with seasons.

                      Ayman, as we have told you before, Madoodat Means Counted...It Does Not Mean 3-10 nor 30 nor 100...it does not mean few, as well...Simply, COUNTED.

                      i don't agree , look for any arabic text with the word "ma3doodaat" in it. then ask any arabic speaker to tell you how many does "ma3doodat" in that context means.
                      if i tell you that your days are COUNTED/ma3doodat, it means that there's something you should worry about.

                        Peace Belal,

                        Ayman this fact is known to all...Now, if we follow your theory and Fast During the Solstice Moon, do we have to disobey our Lord and Count 13 Moon Per Year in order to Fast every year in the Solstice Moon Period?

                        Who said that I am counting 13? I am only counting 12 and skipping the 13th. Do you think that it is a coincidence that when I do this as per 936 the lunar cycle gets automatically adjusted with the solar cycle, and remains in sync even 1 Million years from now?

                        It is not my problem that you don't know what "count" means. Please tell everyone the difference between "count" (3idat) and number ("3adad&quot and how one can count.

                        Moreover, as I explained to Progressive1993, you are now counting month # 17169 and haven?t stopped the counting at 12. If you took month 2 as month 1 then the present sectarian Ramadhan would have been month 17168 and you would be fasting next month. So as I said, because you haven?t stopped counting with 12 as ordered in 936 and instead kept counting, your present day month #17169 is tied to your month 1 and can never be independent from it. So you have now been violating 936 for the past 17157 lunar months. This is indisputable.

                        Ayman, as we have told you before, Madoodat Means Counted...It Does Not Mean 3-10 nor 30 nor 100...it does not mean few, as well...Simply, COUNTED.

                        First of all what you are saying is completely baseless, not only according to Classical Arabic dictionaries, but also as anyone who knows Arabic can tell you. For example, if you say to your wife "I am traveling ayyam ma3doodat", she will never think that you mean to tell her that you will be gone for 1000 days (also counted) or 100 days or even 30 days. You and I and everyone who has even a basic understanding of Arabic knows this fact. So as an Arabic speaker you shouldn't be so desperate to justify your preconceptions that you forget how you speak at home.

                        Second, this doesn't resolve the redundancy. Why supposedly say "counted days" if it is known that "shahr" is a lunar cycle or 29-30 days? The god doesn't say useless and redundant things that are unnecessary.

                        Peace,

                        Ayman

                          Who Gave you the authority to Subtract a MOON...If Ayman is your LORD, who gave you the authority to do so, will... He is not Mine...My Lord is Allah who authenticated the Guidance in the Quran...He did not gave me the authority to Subtract a Moon.

                          i don't agree , look for any arabic text with the word "ma3doodaat" in it. then ask any arabic speaker to tell you how many does "ma3doodat" in that context means.

                          I'm an Arabic Speaker...
                          The Root word for Ma3doodat is 3ad, which mean COUNT.
                          If someone tell me that my days are Madoodat, then I will tell him "You are full of it...Only God knows the years Count of anybody's life.

                          By the way, if you will call your self a Cheerleader Captain, please you need to change your Gender Symbol.

                            Peace Eid,

                            You did not even read the article and all the different theories;
                            here is the one from last year BIG ILLUSION before the solstice again....
                            http//science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/16jun_moonillusion.htm http//facstaff.uww.edu/mccreadd/
                            FACT THERE WAS NO FULL MOON ILLUSION AFTER THE SOLSTICE ON JULY 18, 2008!
                            FACT You did NOT witness a full moon illusion after sunset last year on JULY 18, 2008!
                            FACT No one saw a full moon illusion (they called it a regular full moon) which was NOT even full after sunset!
                            FACT THE ONLY FULL MOON ILLUSION EVERYONE SAW LAST YEAR WAS BEFORE THE SOLSTICE!
                            FACT YOU ARE FASTING ON THE WRONG HOT MOON!
                            FACT YOU HAVE BEEN PROVEN WRONG AND STILL POST ABOUT ILLUSIONS!
                            Now, you want to admit that full moon illusion has ZERO to do with this and move on to the next question or do you want to say that you or anyone else saw a full moon illusion last year July 18 after the solstice?

                            Instead of all your babbling just answer those two simple YES or NO question

                            The TWO full-moons that take the LOWEST path accross the horizon are the full-moons BEFORE and AFTER the summer solstice. YES or NO?

                            The temperature is hotter at the time of the full-moon AFTER the summer solstice than the one BEFORE it. YES or NO?

                            Remember that "scorching" has two connotations, hot and red. If you are not smart enough to answer the above two simple questions then you are in no position to provide any valid opinion on anything.

                            Peace,

                            Ayman

                                    Ramadan means to burn. For the sins of those who fast and beg Allah for forgiveness in this month burn and perish.

                                      Peace Belal,

                                      As I told you Before, ALLAH has given the Full Moon Different Name than Shaher (YOUR Invention), please see below

                                      As I told you before, you have imagined a different name for full moon. I hope that you will not worship your imagination and call it ALLAH.

                                      On the other hand, I didn't invent anything since the meaning of "shahr" as "full-moon" is given by Classical Arabic dictionaries, whether you like it or not .

                                      677So when he saw the moon Full, he said This is my Lord. But when it disappeared he said If my Lord does not guide me, then I will be among the wicked people!
                                      677

                                      Now let's see who is inventing nonsense

                                      006.077
                                      YUSUFALI When he saw the moon rising in splendour, he said "This is my Lord." But when the moon set, He said "unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray."
                                      PICKTHAL And when he saw the moon uprising, he exclaimed This is my Lord. But when it set, he said Unless my Lord guide me, I surely shall become one of the folk who are astray.
                                      SHAKIR Then when he saw the moon rising, he said Is this my Lord? So when it set, he said If my Lord had not guided me I should certainly be of the erring people.
                                      KHALIFA When he saw the moon rising, he said, "Maybe this is my Lord!" When it disappeared, he said, "Unless my Lord guides me, I will be with the strayers."

                                      From PRL
                                      = Ba-Zay-Ghayn = rise or come forth (normally applied to the sun/moon), flow/spread.
                                      bazagha vb. (1) pcple. act. 677, 678

                                      677 talks about "When he saw the moon rising...". So ?qamar? means moon and not full-moon, unless you want to propose some nonsense that only the full-moon rises. Same goes for other passages that talk, for example, about the ?qamar? (moon) going in orbit such as 2133. Unless you want to apply your nonsense resulting in that only the full-moon goes in an orbit while the other phases don?t. So ?qamar? cannot logically mean ?full-moon? and it simply means ?moon?. On the other hand, ?full-moon? is ?shahr?.

                                      Peace,

                                      Ayman

                                        I have a question for those who uphold that shahr = month, in this context.

                                        2185 says that the quran was sent down in this month (sic)

                                        In truth, wasn't the quran sent down in stages? 2532 and 17106

                                          This is the Arabic Tongue

                                          The Word Qamar = FULL MOON
                                          The Word Helal= Crescent--Less than Full Moon

                                          Now...If Good calls the Full Moon Shaher then He would have said "When He Saw the Shaher (6-77)
