Hot/"ramadan" Answer
-
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
Peace

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.

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.

Quote from guest on Yesterday at 075718 PM
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.

Quote from guest on Yesterday at 085308 PM
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.

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 !!

Hey quickduck, why don?t you ask your master Ayman to take the following challenge or better yet why don?t you tell Ayman that he is wrong since you know as much as a fifth grade student.
Peace Ayman,
First you say the summer solstice full moon follows the lower path across the sky. This is your so called Ramadan theory.
Then you say the TWO full moons that took the lowest path are BEFORE and AFTER the summer solstice. You just contradicted yourself. Instead of admitting the mistake you took pride in modifying your lousy theory. This is crazy, unrighteous, and hypocritical.
Now as for ?This fact is so indisputable that I don't even need to check the data through the link about.? I will give you a challenge to determine how certain you are about the stated position. Here is the challenge DO YOU AGREE TO WITHRAW YOUR ARTICLE AND APOLOGIZE TO US IF I PROVE YOU WRONG? Just give me the word and I will provide the evidence.

Peace guest (Ahmed B?)
i have no need for your doubt
your replies are unconvincing and reactive.
the recurring themes in the Quran are those of patterns that obey rules, and in the case of a pure lunar calendar
the seasonal patterns are broken from one year to the next, that in itself is enough for me to discount it,
there are enough clues in the Quran to show that a luni-solar calendar is what Allah means when he says
the count of the year is twelve months.
You must take into account of the harvest periods, the farming periods, the planning for seasonal changes factoring in
droughts and irrigations, all need a calendar that is solar, the lunar part is used for the counting of the segmentation in between in months using lunar months and adjusting therewith.
This is a logical, rational system...
If we get the time line of the Prophet right, we will know for sure that luni-solar was correct, but wahabbism has made any
investigative attempts sacrilegious, go figure...
and please Mr guest stop name calling people, you are not the Prophet oki? for all intents and purposes, you might be
the guilty party here..., and by the way, nothing to be ashamed of, we all have an ego, and it tears us towards bad ways, you might be jealous of Ayman, who knows...
I wonder why, he gets a lot of stuff wrong, but at least he is not a coward, he discusses and challenges things, unlike being a sheep, and a follower to sheep mehhhh ) -
Peace theNabster,
Peace guest (Ahmed B?)
What is this; I mean what?s in the bracket.
your replies are unconvincing and reactive.
My replies are the truth to the best of my knowledge and consistent with the Quran. Maybe you cannot handle the truth. That is you problem.
the recurring themes in the Quran are those of patterns that obey rules, and in the case of a pure lunar calendar
the seasonal patterns are broken from one year to the next, that in itself is enough for me to discount it,Where is the verse that tells us that the religious rite has to be in synch with the seasons?
You must take into account of the harvest periods, the farming periods, the planning for seasonal changes factoring in
droughts and irrigations, all need a calendar that is solar, ..Go ahead and use solar calendar for agriculture need. No one is preventing you from this. Just don?t mix the agriculture with the religion. It?s that simple.
This is a logical, rational system...
Luni-solar is illogical and irrational system.
please Mr guest stop name calling people, ??
Why aren?t you asking Ayman to do the same? Are you afraid of him or is he your idol?
you are not the Prophet oki?
I never claimed that I am a Prophet. You are a lying sick person. Maybe you are confusing me with your idol.
all intents and purposes, you might be
the guilty party here...,If you say following Quran without twisting its words = guilty then I am guilty.
you might be jealous of Ayman, who knows...
Why, why, why,??What does he have other than lies and bad behavior. This is a mighty mistake on your part.
I wonder why, he gets a lot of stuff wrong,
Why did satan got it wrong? The answer is pride and ego. This is a good observation on your part though.

Welcome back! It's been almost a year...
I wouldn't consider 2 as part of ma3duudat, since it's mentioned as an exception for special circumsatnces of what would be accepted outside the ma3duudaat.
Minimum of ma3duudat 3
Maximum 10 -
Peace Ashraf,
Dear Ayman or anyone who can share the knowledge,
Need clarification on word "Ka3bain" (Dual - "Base" or "Ankle" ?) as in 56 above.
The base of the foot is the "heel" not the "ankle".
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.
Plural and dual are not always used in accordance with Classical Arabic rules in the great reading. Maybe Samia can help but off topic here.

No, light (sunlight) only removes darkness/night from a object if the object expose itself to sunlight.Darkness exist by itself.
" Darkness does not exist . Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton 's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."
You have to be proud of yourself, you've just debunked Albert Einstein !

Peace Belal, everyone,
rotfl This is stupidity as it can be... rotfl
If you are going to parade your ignorance on the forum then do it in small fonts. Especially, since you know that you didn?t dare to say anything about the word ?yarkh? in this very familiar Arabic inscription that I provided in the same post
http//www.islamic-awareness.org/History/Islam/Inscriptions/raqush.html
Also, unless you enjoy humiliating yourself, when saying things like that in big fonts, you had better be knowledgeable about the subject and be 100% sure that you are right. You will see why next.
Can anyone, including Ayman and his followers, quote any of the above words in Quran...If you cannot, and you will not, then would this make you feel that Ayman is underestimating your intelligence by claiming that the above language is Authantic Arabic like the Quran Language.
So according to your own criteria, all I have to do is show ANY word that is in the great reading to prove that you are overestimating your own intelligence. Now read the following line that you quoted
( bi)n / (b) akhayal / rahman / wa rakhaw / zalan / salthany / w sathya/ ws
The word ?rahman? as an attribute of the god can be found many times in the great reading (11, etc). So I did quote you ?any? word that is in the great reading and I can stop right here after proving to everyone that you are overestimating your own intelligence and underestimating your ignorance. However, I will continue so as to do you a favor and help you snap out of any delusions you may still have about your intelligence. You will thank me later when you wizen up. )

The following words in the inscription appear in the great reading
Tawd mountain (2663)
Satro wrote (681)
Saadu repelled/confronted (2217, etc.)
Zaki promoted/bettered (243, etc.)
Malikan the king (2246, etc.)

Zabahow slaughtered (267, etc.)
Asarow took prisoner (285, etc.)
Ghanamw took the spoils of war (4100, etc.)
Danw come near (538, etc.)
Rahanw took as collateral (2283)
Khalafw appointed (230, etc.)
Khayl power/horses (860)In addition to the above, words such as ?jayshan? (army), ?ghazwat? (raid) and others are routinely used even in modern Arabic today. So Belal not only ignores the pre-Islamic language of the great reading but also modern Arabic spoken by native Arabic speakers.
As a side note The person who did the transcription and transliteration didn?t do a good job. Firstly, he confused transcription and transliteration and switched them. What Belal copied and pasted should actually be called the transliteration and not the transcription. Second, he made many obvious mistakes in the transliteration. For example, he mistakenly attached the Alif of ?asarw? (take prisoner) to the preceding ?and? (?w?) in line vi and he mistakenly attaches a non existent Alif to ?khayl? in line ix, to name a few mistakes. All those errors can be easily spotted by looking at the transcription (which he mistakenly called transliteration). The person who did the page is probably the Webmaster or the museum curator and doesn?t seem to have good knowledge about pre-Islamic Arabian dialects. Judging from the hypercorrections that he inserted in the transliteration (for example ar-rahman for rahmanan), the guy is certainly a native Arabic speaker.
Is this what do you call Arabic!!! You have lost your Brain...Can any one tell me if this looks like any writtings of Quran
Let us see if Free- Minds Moderators will do something about thisYou are only exposing that you ignore the difference between language and script. The script is irrelevant. For example, ?Bism allah alrahman alrahim? is in Arabic language despite being in English script. You are also further confirming your ignorance since the Arabian Musnad script of the inscription is the real Arabic script which has the full 28 letters of Arabic represented. On the other hand, the Nabataean Aramaic script that was used to write the great reading is a foreign script and therefore it doesn?t have all the letters of the Arabic language represented (Aramaic only has 22 letters). This is why dotting has to be used to disambiguate the letters, just like the apostrophe is used in English with the letter A to disambiguate ?Ain and Alif.
If you truly wants to know what is the pre-islamic arabic, study this--Jesus Language, Aramic.
http//sepehr.mohamadi.name/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/aat_table.jpgYou are in over your head in things that you have zero knowledge of. Can you please show everyone where the Arabic letters Thaa , Khaa , Thaal , Dhad , Thah and Ghain are in your table? As I said, unlike the Sabaic South Arabia dialect, Aramaic (and the Nabataean Aramaic variation) are not even Arabian languages. They are foreign languages and therefore only have 22 letters while Arabian dialects have 28 letters. Unlike you, I will not lie and say that you are brainless since the god gave you a brain. I will say that if you used your god-given brain then you would have seen this fact from your own figure instead of just blindly posting stuff you have no knowledge of.
Peace,
Ayman
