Hot/"ramadan" Answer
-
Peace all,
Here is a study about the Month calculation in the Bible and the Torah (retrieved from http//www.karaite-korner.org/new_moon.shtml)Please note how the Bible verses are the same as the Quranic (I will highlight in red)
The New Moon
in the Hebrew BibleThe Biblical month begins with the crescent New Moon, also called First Visible Sliver. The Hebrew word for month (Hodesh) literally means New Moon and only by extension the period between one New Moon and the next.
The Rabbanite Midrash relates that when God said to Moses "This month (HODESH) shall be for you the beginning of months" (Ex 12,2) the Almighty pointed up into the heavens at the crescent New Moon and said "When you see like this, sanctify! ". This Rabbinic fairy-tale highlights an important point, namely that the Bible never comes out and says we should determine the beginning of months based on the New Moon. The reason for this is that the term for "Month" (Hodesh) itself implies that the month begins with the crescent New Moon. As will be seen, this would have been obvious to any ancient Israelite present when Moses recited the prophecies of YHWH to the Children of Israel and therefore there was no need to elucidate this concept any more than such terms as "light" or "dark". However, due to the long exile, we have lost the use of Biblical Hebrew in day to day speech. Therefore, we will have to reconstruct the meaning of Hodesh from the usage of the word in the Biblical text using sound linguistic principles.
He Created the Moon for Holidays
There can be no doubt that the biblical Holidays are dependent on the moon. The strongest proof of this is the passage in Ps 104,19 which declares
"He created the moon for Mo'adim "
The Hebrew term Mo'adim is the same word used to describe the Biblical Holidays. Leviticus 23, which contains a catalogue of the Biblical Holidays opens with the statement "These are the Mo'adim of YHWH, holy convocations which you shall proclaim in their appointed times .". So when the Psalmist tells us that God created the moon for Mo'adim he means that the moon was created to determine the time of the Mo'adim of YHWH, that is, the Biblical Holidays.
"Hodesh" Is Related To the Moon
The above verse clearly teaches us that the holidays are related to the moon. But when the Torah was given Ps 104 had not yet been written by the Levitical prophets, and the question still remains of how the ancient Israelites could have known this. The answer is that the Hebrew word for month (Hodesh) itself indicates a connection to the moon. We can see this connection in a number of instances in which Hodesh (month) is used interchangeably with the word "Yerah", the common Biblical Hebrew word for moon, which by extension also means "month". For example
"...in the month (Yerah) of Ziv,
which is the Second month (Hodesh)..." (1Kings 6,1)"...in the month (Yerah) of Ethanim... which is the Seventh month (Hodesh)..." (1Kings 8,2)
Another proof that Hodesh is related to the moon (Yerah) is the phrase "A Hodesh (month) of days" (Gen 29,14; Nu 11,20-21) which is equivalent to the phrase "A Yerah (month/ moon) of days" (Dt 21,13; 2Ki 15,13). Clearly then Hodesh is related to "Yerah", which itself literally means "moon".
"Hodesh" Means New Moon (Day)
The primary meaning of Hodesh (month) is actually "New Moon" or "New Moon Day" and it is only by extension that it came to mean "month", that is, the period between one New Moon and the next. This primary meaning is preserved in a number of passages such as 1Sam 20,5 in which Jonathan says to David "Tomorrow is the New Moon (Hodesh)". Clearly, in this verse Hodesh is used to refer to the specific day on which the month begins and not the entire month. Another passage which uses Hodesh in its primary sense is Ez 46,1 which talks about "The Day (Yom) of the New Moon (Ha-Hodesh)". Clearly in this verse Hodesh (New Moon) is a specific event and the beginning of the month is the day on which this event (New Moon) occurs.
The Biblical New Moon is the "First Crescent"
"Hodesh" (New Moon), is derived from the root H.D.SH. meaning "new" or "to make new/ renew". The Crescent New Moon is called Hodesh because it is the first time the moon is seen anew after being concealed for several days at the end of the lunar cycle. At the end of the lunar month the moon is close to the sun 1 and eventually reaches the point of "conjunction" when it passes between the Sun and the Earth.2 As a result, around the time of conjunction very little of the moon's illuminated surface faces the Earth and it is not visible through the infinitely brighter glare of the sun. After the moon moves past the sun it continues towards the opposite side of the Earth. As it gets farther away from the sun the percentage of its illuminated surface facing the Earth increases and one evening shortly after sunset the moon is seen anew after being invisible for 1.5-3.5 days. Because the moon is seen anew after a period of invisibility the ancients called it a "New Moon" or "Hodesh" (from Hadash meaning "new".
Crescent New Moon vs. Astronomical New Moon
Many people have been led astray by the inaccurate use in modern languages of the term "New Moon". Modern astronomers adopted this otherwise unused term, which had always referred to the first visible sliver, and used it to refer to conjunction (when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun, at which time it is not visible). The astronomers soon realized that the inaccurate use of "New Moon" to refer to conjunction would lead to confusion so to be more accurate scientists now distinguish between "Astronomical New Moon" and "Crescent New Moon". "Astronomical New Moon" means New Moon as the term is used by astronomers, i.e. conjunction. In contrast, "Crescent New Moon" uses the term in the original meaning of the first visible sliver. A good English dictionary should reflect both meanings. For example, the Random House Dictionary of the English Language, Unabridged Edition defines New Moon as "The moon either when in conjunction with the sun or soon after being either invisible or visible only as a slender crescent." (square brackets added by NG).
The Supposed Evidence For "Concealed Moon"
Having been confused by the use of the term New Moon in modern astronomy some people have sought Biblical support for this incorrect meaning of the term. Ps 81,3 is usually cited which says
"Blow on a horn for the Hodesh (New Moon)
On the Keseh (Full Moon) for the Day of our Hag (Feast)."According to the "Concealed Moon Theory", the term "Keseh" is derived from the root K.S.Y. meaning "to cover" and thus means "covered moon" or "concealed moon". According to this interpretation, when the verse says to blow on a horn on the day of Keseh it actually means " on the day of Concealed Moon". However, the language does not support this argument for the second half of the verse also refers to the day of Keseh as "the day of our Feast (Hag)". In the Bible, Feast (Hag) is a technical term which always refers to the three annual pilgrimage-feasts (Matzot, Shavuot, Sukkot; see Ex 23; Ex 34).3 New Moon Day (Hodesh) is never classified as a "Pilgrimage-Feast" so Keseh/ Hag can not possibly be synonymous with New Moon Day (Hodesh). It has further been suggested that Keseh refers to the Biblical holiday of Yom Teruah (Day of Shouting), which always falls out on New Moon Day. However, the Bible describes Yom Teruah as a Moed (appointed time) and never as a Hag (Pilgrimage-Feast) so Keseh/ Hag can not refer to Yom Teruah either.
What Does Keseh Really Mean?
It is likely that Keseh is related to the Aramaic word "Kista" and the Assyrian word "Kuseu" which mean "full moon" (see Brown-Driver-Briggs p.490b) . This fits in perfectly with the description of Keseh as the day of the Hag since two of the three Pilgrimage-Feasts (Hag HaMatzot and Hag HaSukkot) are on the 15th of the month, which is about the time of the Full Moon!
More on "Concealed Moon"
Another point to consider is that there is no actual "day" of concealed moon. In fact the moon stays concealed anywhere from 1.5 to 3.5 days in the Middle East. It has been proposed that the "day" of concealed moon is actually the day of conjunction (when the moon passes between the Earth and Sun). However, it was only 1000 years after Moses that the Babylonian astronomers discovered how to calculate the moment of conjunction. Therefore, the ancient Israelites would have had no way of knowing when the moment of conjunction takes place and would not have known on which day to observe "Concealed Moon Day".
It has been suggested that the ancient Israelites could have looked at the "Old Moon" and determined the Day of Conjunction by when the Old Moon was no longer visible in the morning sky. However, such a method would not work in the Middle East where the so-called "concealed moon" can remain concealed for as many as 3.5 days! It is in fact common for the moon to stay concealed for 2.5 days and in such instances how would the ancient Israelites have known which day was the Day of Conjunction?
In contrast, the ancient Israelites would have been well aware of the Crescent New Moon. In ancient societies people worked from dawn to dusk and they would have noticed the Old Moon getting smaller and smaller in the morning sky. When the morning moon had disappeared the ancient Israelites would have anxiously awaited its reappearance 1.5-3.5 days later in the evening sky. Having disappeared for several days and then appearing anew in the early evening sky they would have called it the "New Moon" or "Hodesh" (from Hadash meaning "New".
Note 1 From the perspective of an observer on Earth. Back
Note 2 I.e. it is on the same plane as the Sun and the Earth. Back
Note 3 see BDB pp.290b-291a. Even in the few instances where Hag does not refer to the three Biblical Pilgrimage-Feasts, it refers to non-Biblical pilgrimage-feasts. For example, in Judges 21,19 Hag refers to the annual pilgrimage-feast held around the shrine of Shiloh. Also, in Exodus 10,9 Moses tells Pharaoh that the Israelites must leave Egypt to celebrate a Hag to YHWH in the desert, which clearly is a pilgrimage-feast. It is worth noting that Moses says that they have a Hag, meaning they must make a pilgrimage, in this case to Mt. Sinai, and thus they must leave Egypt in order to observe the Hag properly. Back

Peace belH,
thank you for the info, but i didn't ask for it.
what i know is that it is easy to refute, and hard to build an argument.
we are amateurs, and in many cases we use our emotions, and sometimes we even use mind reading of Allah's as proof,
as if we could do so, may He have Mercy on us, when he warns us that He is unlike any-being we know!
What I find terrible are the "Scholars" attitudes, they are amateurs too, what kind of Knowledge is that which they have
when they carry the corpus of people whose lives were governed by superstition and pleasing their Rulers, because this
is what has survived.
Why did the Mongols kill all the Scholars in Baghdad and played making pyramids with their skulls, why didn't Allah help,
because that was the beginning of the end of the Islamic Civilization that had stopped being Islamic, because it strayed
from Allah's guidance. This same happened in Spain where the Moors were kicked out too, a bit later on.
Read the Signs of Allah in the Quran and the environment. The past Muslims have gone, they made their mistakes, and we won't
be made accountable for their mistakes, and they won't be made accountable for ours.
This is written several times in the Quran for previous communities, we need to adapt it.
If we make the same mistakes, we will get the same fate. The Ottoman empire was a second chance, but they squandered it.
I will not start on the jihadist, they are an abomination created to make sure Islam never gains any credibility.
But having Scholars like the ones we have now, ignorant, stupid, stubborn, narrow minded, incapable of learning from the past, Islam will never ever gain credibility, unless Allah as he said will find another community who will be better than these sectarians and who will be the new peacekeepers on earth.
This month/year/ramadan issue is a small issue.
The true Scholars are the ones who when they read the Quran make things happen (remember the one who could outsmart the Jinn Ifriit)... -

Agree with all the above.Do not Forget that WE SHALL CONFRONT LIES AND SPREAD THE TRUTH FROM OUR LORD.
What Ayman is Spreading are LIES, and therefore, We Shall Confront it and Spread the Truth about Fasting and Month Calculation. As we note, Today's Christians and Jews have abandon the Lunar Calendar and adopted Solar-Lunar Calender, which is the same as Ayman is proposing. And now, according to Ayman, it is our turn to follow their footstep...This is not a small issue as you said, but it is a great issue for us.

Peace belH,
no not the Bible,
Leaves of Abraham, Torah to Moses, Psalms to David, The Gospel to Jesus, these are what Allah
wants us to be aware of and be concerned about, why, maybe one day we will know.
The Bible contains accounts of the above well after they were revealed, so be careful with your quotes too.
Ayman like you, me, and many others, and because we are in a forum, and not writing in a scientific journal
(though in my view, since we are talking about matters as serious as the Divine, we should be doubly serious),
especially when we get emotional, do not always check out our sources properly, this is called wishful thinking.
Language has nothing to do with ideology, pagan or not, or scripture of it depends on where the tribe in question
acquired the script which they used as a convenient form to convey their spoken tongue.
Abraham is quoted as having spoken chaldeen or sumerian for which there are different scripts which are according
to your definition pagan, because the people of Sumer were pagans. Do not misquote me on this, I am not an expert historian.
You have a misconception that the script of a language defines the religious inclination, or ideology of those who use it, or even their tongue, it does not, just look nowadays around you, jewish persians using arabic scripts, jewish sefarids in the past century using arabic scripts, they were not muslims, same arabic christian catholic who did not use arabic scripts but used latin tongue for their ceremony, etc...
Do not get confused... you cannot say a Pagan language as you cannot say a stupid language, and it has nothing to do with the language in your case, you were referring to the script, as for the language, the same applies, people of different language (ie speaking tongues) can have different ideologies (pagan or not)...
Will you now please become more rational, logical, human -

Thank you for the advise, which should be said to Ayman as well, espacially, He was the one who used the pre-islamic language issue to refute the meaning of Shahar.Now, Can you tell us, What is the Arabic Word that is equal to the English Word "Month"
I hope you will take into account your valuable advise when answering this Important Question.
May God Lead and Bless those who are seeking His Truth.

Peace belH
in the Arabic I was brought up in, shahr means month.
i was also brought up using a solar calendar, never using the lunar calendar.
i was aware of the hijri calendar which i also never used, but whom religious people
referred to for religious events such as Ashoura, fasting Ramadan, Hajj, etc.
they still used the solar calendar for their day to day and all of their business lives.
For me I found it very odd, I wish I could have asked my father who was a Qadhi (ie an Islamic Judge), but he was dead
when I showed an interest in the matter.
At the time I was reading the Quran, and didn't realise the existence of another corpus the hadith and sunnah until much later,
so I lived a very sheltered life, and I am very grateful to Allah and my parents for that.
I found the Quran very self sufficient, and I was learning Islam this way, until I had the misfortune to meet a sectarian...
(i could as well say safely a satanist, because this is what I believe those who advocate forcefully their ideology actually are, and despite not being a believer in the relevance of Hadith, there is a great one on this, where one day the majority of the members of the Ummah will see Hell Fire, and will think it is Paradise, and run away towards it, and will see Paradise and will think it is Hell Fire and will run away from it - hadith like these make me wonder that maybe a few of them are after all Sahih)...
but that is veering off topic...Good luck in your debunking Mr belH you will need it

You seem quiet intelligent, but why cant you seem to grasp a simple thing,
Month is a time period between two shahrs , and as this is not fixed, so God does not use it , because, if he tells you to carry out something for , let us say two months,
How many days would you count ? 58,59,or 60?
You see above, that would create confusion in your mind, and you know God , and Quran, HE/ IT does not create/leave any confusion for us.

Salaam,
Dear Ayman or anyone who can share the knowledge,
..The Arabic word "kaab" has the same basic meaning as "kaaba". In Arabic the word "kaab" is used in expressions like "kaab al-wadi" to mean "the base of the valley" and in "kaab al-hithaa" to mean "the base of the shoe". So the word "kaab" essentially means "base"..
Need clarification on word "Ka3bain" (Dual - "Base" or "Ankle" ?) as in 56 above.
May I know the difference between "maraafiq" vs "maraafiqain". What statement that we could deduce from this wording structure. Apology if this have been discussed before becoz couldnt find it.
Peace, Ashraf

Here is a verse for you
2203And remember God in a few days . But if any one hastens to leave in two days, there is no blame on him, and if any one stays on, there is no blame on him, if his aim is to do right. Then fear God, and know that you will surely be gathered unto Him.
It's clear from this verse that less than "ma3doodat" will be 2.
OK.This time I am off this topic of "ma3dood/ma3doodat". Sorry if I refrain from responding to you next time.
You do not ask to learn, but to argue. I do not have time for that.Dear Samia,
I want to learn and hope you dont mind to reply )
Is it wrong if i understand the verse 2203 as follows
Minimum "ma3doodat" >>> two days
Maximum "ma3doodat" >>> varies (3 or 4 or 7 etc) but preferably 10, however 10 is not a mandatory.The only 10 that I consider a preferred count was just my understanding base on "hint" in 2196 and 892. (is there anything else?)
However 10 days in 2196 is for hajj I am not sure whether I can overconfidantly say so that 10 days apply to Ramadhan as well.
My understanding at this moment is that Allah give His mercy (leeway) for us to decide the max no of days to our personal preference/ability this time around, but minimum is two. (This stand is still subject to debate/correction)
On other note Allah is very specific with the number of siyaam ie. 3 days (589), 10 days (2196). Any feedback appreciated.

Peace,
The day and night are determined by the sun and they have nothing to do with the moon.
The sun does not decide where on earth the day should be. It simply emits light in all direction at all time. In order for the sun to decide the location of day on earth it will have to go around the earth. And we know this is not true. If it were then we would have a chaotic solar system. Unfortunately, Ayman insists on sun going around the earth to satisfy his faulty concept in the quote. Ayman is trying very hard to disprove God?s system. He is trying to eliminate the truth. He will not succeed. The God has exposed his hypocrisy and exposed his blind follower quickduck and siki.
The statement in the above quote qualifies Ayman as the most ignorant and unintelligent person of the world. Ayman, you are hereby entered in the Guinness World Records as the most foolish person. You need to frame the quote and hang it on the wall of your living room.
I will use an example to illustrate the situation at hand.
Take a white round ball and call it the earth. And take laser pointer, fixed it at an angle and call it the sunlight (red laser light)
Now bring the white ball under the laser so that laser spot can be seen on the ball. We will call this lighted area the location of day on earth. If the earth did not move on its axis then we will have a fixed location day on earth at all time.
Now rotate the ball clockwise or counterclockwise and you will notice the location of day on earth is different than the initial position. Now who is determining the location of day on earth? The earth and definitely not the sun. Sunlight is necessary but the sun makes no decision.
If you turn the laser off then the whole earth is dark (night). And when you turn the laser on again we find portion of the earth is still dark (night). Therefore, sun does not make night. Ayman violates this phenomenon when he says sun determined the night. Sunlight just eliminates a portion of earth?s darkness as determined by the earth (not sun)
If sun determines who get the light then how does the sun decide to give light to a deep underground facility. Also the effect of dark cloud needs to be explained.
Now case 2 the sun determines the location of day on earth
Take the laser light (sun) and move around the ball (earth) and you will see the location of day on earth is changing. This is sun determining day (not night). This is what Ayman is proposing. We all know this is false except Ayman, quickduck and siki, etc.

The sun does not determine day or night. Its job is to generate and emit light, period. The earth makes day by presenting parts of itself to the sun. The part that is hidden from the sun in night.As everyone can see from his own contradictory words, Guest is either a hypocrite, mentally challenged or both (most likely).
Peace,
Ayman
Here are some key points that can be inferred from your response
-
If you can detect a contradiction then you wouldn?t be making a contradiction. The fact is each and ever posts of yours has numerous contradiction. Just based on that logic, you claim of contradiction in my statement is nullified. You see, the contradiction pool is exhausted by you, you have used it all up, and there is nothing left for us to use. Thank you
-
Your focus is not finding the truth, you want people to glorify you and sing your song. Unless you change this behavior for the good, you will be humiliated in this world and a far worst awaits you in the hereafter
-
And when you said ?Guest is either a hypocrite, mentally challenged or both (most likely)?, you behaved like a bully who has just lost a fight. You do not comprehend a simple matter and refused to accept the truth. And you are an unappreciative person ( you don?t admit when someone corrects your error)
-
Now that you could not show the word sun in 1712, and that the sun does not cause night, and that day is caused by earth?s rotation what is your new hypocrisy? Please enlighten us, keep us informed
-
Pretty soon I will issue you another challenge (you did not take the first one), if you accept you will be doomed (because you are a liar), if you refuse it you become a master hypocrite. Please stay tune
theNabster, why aren?t you chastising Ayman for slandering? I will give you the benifit of doubt, maybe you haven't read the post yet.

You have a comprehension problem. You react without understanding a matter. This is why your concept and the article is flawed. The SUN does not decide where on earth the day is. It is determined by the earth. Hope you get this simple matter. Otherwise tell us how we get a day on earth.
i'd make to you a tutorial video if only i had time. Because you seem having big problems with plain text !
One more time, please how Old are you ?
Why don?t you produce your explanation of how the sun makes the decision as to who gets the sunlight. When Push Comes To Shove you hide behind women's skirt - Why are you afraid to explain your theory. Because you know you will self destruct yourself from your contradictory writing. Looks like you are the one having problem with simple statement.
Ayman says quack and you go quack, quack.

Peace,
The sun does not decide where on earth the day should be. It simply emits light in all direction at all time. In order for the sun to decide the location of day on earth it will have to go around the earth. And we know this is not true. If it were then we would have a chaotic solar system. Unfortunately, Ayman insists on sun going around the earth to satisfy his faulty concept in the quote. Ayman is trying very hard to disprove God?s system. He is trying to eliminate the truth. He will not succeed. The God has exposed his hypocrisy and exposed his blind follower quickduck and siki.
The statement in the above quote qualifies Ayman as the most ignorant and unintelligent person of the world. Ayman, you are hereby entered in the Guinness World Records as the most foolish person. You need to frame the quote and hang it on the wall of your living room.
I will use an example to illustrate the situation at hand.
Take a white round ball and call it the earth. And take laser pointer, fixed it at an angle and call it the sunlight (red laser light)
Now bring the white ball under the laser so that laser spot can be seen on the ball. We will call this lighted area the location of day on earth. If the earth did not move on its axis then we will have a fixed location day on earth at all time.
Now rotate the ball clockwise or counterclockwise and you will notice the location of day on earth is different than the initial position. Now who is determining the location of day on earth? The earth and definitely not the sun. Sunlight is necessary but the sun makes no decision.
If you turn the laser off then the whole earth is dark (night). And when you turn the laser on again we find portion of the earth is still dark (night). Therefore, sun does not make night. Ayman violates this phenomenon when he says sun determined the night. Sunlight just eliminates a portion of earth?s darkness as determined by the earth (not sun)
If sun determines who get the light then how does the sun decide to give light to a deep underground facility. Also the effect of dark cloud needs to be explained.
Now case 2 the sun determines the location of day on earth
Take the laser light (sun) and move around the ball (earth) and you will see the location of day on earth is changing. This is sun determining day (not night). This is what Ayman is proposing. We all know this is false except Ayman, quickduck and siki, etc.
waw !!! brilliant !!! i really cannot find the word to thank you for clarifying this !! the sun is fixed and does'nt orbit around the earth !?? the earth orbits around its axis and around the sun ??!!! Amazing !!! But Beware ! the 16th century catholic church could condamn you and execute you for this heresy !
MY DEAR GUEST , YOU ARE BREAKING THROUGH AN OPEN DOOR !! No one in this thread discusses those elementary facts, as they are already known to my 5 years old child.
IT takes too much stupidity to teach college students that 1 + 1 = 2...Altough no one of them said that it equals 3. it's only on your mind...
We all are sure about what you tried to scream at us, but what you cannot understand, is that for ALL EARTH CREATURES, IT IS THE SUN THAT DECIDES ABOUT NIGHT AND AND DAY ON EARTH, WHETHER THIS EARTH SPINS OR NOT !!!! One question can you feel the earth moving/spinning right now ?? if not, do you see the sun moving in the sky ?? if yes, so WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TRYING TO PROVE ?? DO YOU WANT TO PROVE TO US THE SAME FACT THAT GALILEE WAS KILLED FOR ?? ARE YOU TRYING TO DEMONSTRATE, with YOUR INTELLIGENT LASER LIGHT AND WHITE BALLS, THE SAME THING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENT KNOW BY HEART ???
Once again, i ask you the same question HOW OLD ARE YOU ??
Salam
DUMB & DUMBER is good movie , go watch it !!
