    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, Ashraf

    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,

      Light determines day and night.

      No, light (sunlight) only removes darkness/night from a object if the object expose itself to sunlight.

      Darkness exist by itself.

        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.

        Peace,

        Ayman

          " 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. )

            ( bi)n / (b) akhayal / rahman / wa rakhaw / zalan / salthany / w sathya/ ws

            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.)
            Wad valley (1437, 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 this

            You 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.jpg

            You 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

              Peace Eid,

              Perpetual straw-man arguments ? ?so do you think? then overlay your thoughts as being mine. Read context, was responding to your accusation of making fun using the word ?hot? which you use ?scorching? and called this thread Hot/"ramadan".

              What straw-man? You were defending the sectarian arbitrary calendar where ?ramadhan? can occur at any haphazard time, even in the cold of winter. Either you believe that the god uses the word ?scorching/hot? haphazardly and ?ramadhan? can be during the cold of winter or you agree with me that the timing for ?ramadhan/scorching/hot must be during the hot time of the year. There is no other choice and this is irrespective of whether ?shahr? means full-moon, crescent, or month.

              That is issuing a fatwa -- the blind and those in cloudy weather are NOT obligated to fast.

              Using your logic, I could also say that you are issuing a ?fatwa? FORCING the blind and those in cloudy weather to fast.

              Qur?an has a provision for those not able; e.g. feed the poor or today, had acid indigestion, auto reacted, reached for a glass of water, realized too late and broke my fast; no big deal hope to make it up another day same as a few days missed due to being ?under the weather.?
              You refuted and contradicted yourself in countless earlier posts and threads?
              Suggest a re-write a new thread ?Hot/Ramadan II? since this topic is all over the place and cluttered.

              I suggest that you reread 2185 and see that it clearly says ?man shahid minkum? (whoever witnesses from amongst you). What is the purpose of saying whoever witnesses from amongst you, unless some amongst you will not witness? Who are the people AMONGST YOU (the believers) who will not witness according to you? If witnessing was not required and just being present is required then the statement is redundant and unnecessary and the god could have simply said ?fast? and that would be it. You are not blind nor it was cloudy during the night of the scorching full-moon and yet you didn?t witness it and you weren?t even aware of it so you are not obligated to fast (but absolutely you still can fast anyway).

              You changed your mind on this too as you did with hajj (debate/feast) which your current restriction varies approximately from June/July 21 to Sept/Oct 18 depending on the year?
              21-Jun

              Oct. 31 - Nov. 10 Deer/muzzleloader (note -- opens Nov. 2 in WMU A) ? No Protection!
              Nov. 11 - Dec. 6 Deer/firearms (note -- closes Nov. 29 in WMU A) ? No Protection!
              Also see prior post?

              You are misreading the data. The info gives the times when hunting is ALLOWED not when hunting is restricted. Now read again and see how the protection mostly overlaps except a few times for the animals whose hunting season starts in mid September and the difference is only for a couple of weeks on average.

              Absolutely agree, find it appalling the worst of disbelief including the mindless ocean/sea hunting to feed people?s fetishes/appetite for the exotic and renewed my Greenpeace membership today which was doubled by a most generous supporter.
              638 And (there is) not from a walker/creeper/crawler (creature) in the earth and nor (a) bird (that) flies with its two wings, except (they are) nations similar/alike/equal to you, We did not neglect in The Book from a thing, then to their Lord they be gathered.

              I agree completely. So by the same token, the restriction is about protecting wild life all over the world from humans who hunt them for food during the period of the FOUR inviolable ?shahr? and not just around Mecca and only on the arbitrary days from 8th of Dhu Al-Hijjah to 13th of Dhu Al-Hijjah while people are walking around half-naked wearing nothing but towels as the sectarians whose timing you are defending are proposing. Otherwise, there is no purpose of the god clearly decreeing FOUR inviolable ?shahr? and if your understanding is correct then he would have just clearly said ?from 8th of Dhu Al-Hijjah to 13th of Dhu Al-Hijjah and only in the vicinity of Mecca?.

              Peace and all best wishes,

              Ayman

                61 - Praise be to GOD, who created the heavens and the earth, and made the darkness and the light. Yet, those who disbelieve in their Lord continue to deviate.

                  You shall observe the Contact Prayer (Salat) when the sun declines towards the darkening of the night. You shall also observe (the recitation of) the Quran at dawn. (Reciting) the Quran at dawn is witnessed.

                  (177

                  So do you still deny that the sun determines (someway) the night and day ??
                  Who are you trying to fool ?

                  I bet if Ayman tell you that the milk is white and the tar is black, you'll still would go debunking him.

                  Is it personal ??

                    If light is removed then the natural state is darkness. The verse you quoted is consistent with this concept.

                      So you agree that Darkness depends on the presence of the light . Ok , so where DID Einstein contradict GOD ??

                      Also , Notice that CREATING is Different from MAKING...Had GOD not created heavens, the earth would still exist.
                      In opposite, had GOD not MADE the light, it will be no darkness. you can call it whatever you want but NOT darkness.

                        No, light (sunlight) only removes darkness/night from a object if the object expose itself to sunlight.

                        Darkness exist by itself.

                        so you are saying

                        light removes darkness = day

                        absence of light = night

                        so light determines day and night?

                            so you are saying

                            light removes darkness = day

                            absence of light = night

                            so light determines day and night?

                            Actually there is no such thing as darkness, it is just the absence of light. Just as cold is only the absence of heat.

                              Hey guest,
                              I visualise you living in a cave in Afghanistan and typing away in this forum.
                              Are you for real?
                              Can you have a forward looking outlook? or are you like some who refuse to sit on a sofa
                              because in the time of the Prophet there was none?
                              Don't you see why the Muslims are so backward, because of backward thinking like yours, and
                              more to the point, an inability to grasp a big picture, and getting lost in details and false logic.
                              For any human being since the dawn of humanity, they saw the sun revolving around the earth,
                              so it appeared to them as if (this is relative motion) the Sun revolves around the Earth.
                              The Quran is very subtle, read it subtly, I am really always amazed and disappointed at the
                              ignorance of the Sunnis or Shias, who can be pretty intelligent, but when it comes to issues of
                              Deen, it is like their heart gets clouded over by a deep fog.
                              How can you separate Deen and day to day life, are you out of your mind.
                              Your Qareen is indeed very powerful...

                                1. Southern/Central Arabian dialect (see ?warkh? used to mean month)

                                Peace all,

                                After an extensive search, it appear that the recent spoken Amharic language (Ethiopian) is identical to what you thought is the Root Language of Quran... even the word Warkh still used between Ethiopians and means Month brickwall

                                months ( )

                                /w?rat/

                                Therefore, your claiming of the Sabaean Language to be the authentic Quranic Language= Zero

                                Please study the following to learn about the Original Quranic Language

                                http//www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTcq_VmEBG0

                                It is the Semitic language what appears to be the root of the Islamic Arabic language. This relationship places Arabic firmly in the Afro-Asiatic group of world languages.
                                Please do your own search, using valid and reliable sources if you want to argue.

                                I can quote Italian, English and Spanish words that has an Arabic root...does that make the Languages relate to each others, and can be used to understand its authentic meanings?

                                  You 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,

                                    This just demonstrates that Belal is still clueless about the difference between letters (script) and language.

                                    Here is another pre-Islamic Arabian inscription showing the word "yarkh" to mean "month" and this one uses the Nabataean Aramaic letters.

                                          above you said Yarkh (&#1603 = Month; after my search, it appears that God used the Word Yarkh in the Great Reading (Quran)

                                          26218 The One who sees you when you stand.
                                          26218

                                          Should Ayman now withdraw his argument about the word Month in Arabic? or should He propose a new translation to the above verse to be

                                          26218 The One who MOTH you when you stand.

                                          Ayman, it is your time to shut down your Argument until you further study this subject...otherwise, you are making a fool of yourself in front of us and your kids.
