Salaam ayman,

The "hajj" is days maadoodat. The 10 days fast is for those whose family is present in the inviolable institution of obedience and thus will fast the whole maximum/complete maadoodat of 10 days while the 3 is for those whose family is not. This is clear from 2196. If you don't agree then why do you think the god mentioned the result 10 when everyone can count 3+7 and also why did he specifically describe the 10 as complete?

Let me breakdown what you wrote

The "hajj" is days maadoodat. Agreed
The 10 days fast is for those whose family is present in the inviolable institution of obedience and... Agreed on 10 days fast
...thus will fast the whole maximum/complete maadoodat of 10 days while the 3 is for those whose family is not. Problem for me here, I found you mixing both the above mentioned points together when actually they are two different things. One talks about the period of Hajj, and second is about fasting for 10 days ONLY for those who cannot bring offering .
This is clear from 2196. Yes only 10 days fasting is clear from 2196 without any mentioning of iddat.
If you don't agree then why do you think the god mentioned the result 10 when everyone can count 3+7 and also why did he specifically describe the 10 as complete? I agree that there must be some reason for that, but still I cannot relate it with ayyamam maadoodaat. I also agree with you that other numbers, such as 1000-50 and 300+9 does not show the complete result as in 2196, so there must be some reason.

May Allah increase us all in knowledge and guide us all to His only path pr

This 295 days is false. Do you know anyone who was in the womb that long? I doubt it.

The normal human gestation period is around 266 days (see your 10 full moons above).

Peace Ayman,

It comes up if using full moons. Example, if baby is conceived day after full moon?

As for your comments that the maximum would be 294 days, please see the following link

http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy

"The expected date of delivery (EDD) is 40 weeks counting from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP), and birth usually occurs between 37 (259 days) and 42 weeks (294 days)."

The great reading gives the same max as modern science.

On the other hand, if we take shahr to be a lunar month and not the event of the full-moon then per the simple algebra above your normal (not maximum) would be a fixed 10 lunar months or 294 days!

As I said, it is impossible to reconcile 2233 and 4615 if "shahr" meant lunar month and the only way to reconcile them is if "shahr" meant full-moon.

The point was there is no need to reconcile dissimilar terms

yur'i'na (&#1614 breastfeeding
filan (&#1575 separation

3114 and his separation (wafiluhu) < two years (mayni)

4615 and bearing of him and his separation (wafiluhu) thirty shahr

2233 And the mothers shall suckle/yur'i'na (&#1614 their children awlayni (&#1616 for who wishes to complete the suckling/al-raata (&#1614

And upon the father (on) him their provision and their clothing in fair manner. Not is burdened any soul only its capacity not made to suffer (the) mother because of her child and not (the) father be because of his child and on the heirs like that

So if they both desire separation/filan (&#1575 through mutual consent from both them and consultation so no blame on both of them

And if you want to ask other women to suckle/tastari your children so no blame on you when you pay what you give in a fair manner

And fear Allah and know that Allah of what you do All-Seer

mohamad_itani

seid you did not fully put that into scope.
yes the thirty shahr include the pregnancy period and the suckleing period.
wich is only about six month of pregnancy and tow years of suckleing.
i would say that the first few month of pregnancy the fetus is not devaloped to call it a fetus it is really only a fertelized egg.
only when their is extra weight that it is considered and that would be after three month of pregnancy and a fetus would start to devalope,check the ultra sound for a pregnant woman,trust me i have three kids and i see how the fetus devalope.
so it is thirty month of carrying.

The 10 days fast is for those whose family is present in the inviolable institution of obedience and... Agreed on 10 days fast
...thus will fast the whole maximum/complete maadoodat of 10 days while the 3 is for those whose family is not. Problem for me here, I found you mixing both the above mentioned points together when actually they are two different things. One talks about the period of Hajj, and second is about fasting for 10 days ONLY for those who cannot bring offering .

The period of "hajj" is not specifically 3 or 10. One can stay 2 or more than 3. We know that "maadodat" cannot be just any number and is more than 2 based on 2203. So the only question remaining is what is the max/complete of "maadoodat"?

This is clear from 2196. Yes only 10 days fasting is clear from 2196 without any mentioning of iddat.
If you don't agree then why do you think the god mentioned the result 10 when everyone can count 3+7 and also why did he specifically describe the 10 as complete? I agree that there must be some reason for that, but still I cannot relate it with ayyamam maadoodaat. I also agree with you that other numbers, such as 1000-50 and 300+9 does not show the complete result as in 2196, so there must be some reason.

The reason is to answer the question "what is the max/complete of maadoodat?" Simple.

Peace,

Ayman

ayman

It comes up as the MAX not as the NORMAL as in your calculation, which we know is not true.

This is a false analogy. The god certainly knows that people can add and subtract. He says 1000-50 and doesn't give the result 950 and he says 300+9 and doesn't give the result as 309.

ONLY in the case of 3+7 he gives the total specifically described as a COMPLETE 10 to make it clear that 10 is the COMPLETE count of few/maadoodat.

verse 2914 - 1000 minus 50
verse 1825 - 300 plus 9
Verse 2196 - 3 plus 7 - a complete 10

The analogy between these verses is that numbers are put in a special way - and thereby the verses can let the reader wonder what the reason could be behind this.
The three verses have three different ways of presenting a count - that is clear, that does not make the analogy false.

Verse 2196 does not imply that a count until 10 can be called a -count ma'doodat- according to the Koran.
The word -ma'doodat- is not used in verse 2196.

Verse 2203 gives koranic evidence for a possible range of -ma'doodat- as a standard it is 3, it can be 2 or somewhat more.
The wording -to hurry/hasten- is connected to the number of days of staying at the -hajj- going from 3 to 2.
The wording -delays- refers to a stay of somewhat longer than 3 days.
The number 10 seems not to be in this range of -ma'doodat- an increase of the stay up to 230% of the standard duration of 3 days could hardly be called a reasonable delay. In the Koran no proof is found that the -hajj- lasted until 10 days.
Rather a maximum stay of 4 or 5 days seems to be implied.

Anyway there is no koranic proof beyond reasonable doubt that a -count ma'doodat- can be until 10.
There is no koranic proof that completing a -count ma'doodat- should only go until 10.
Considering the wording of verses 2196 and 2203 - one can conclude that they do not suggest a duration of the communal fast of 10 days in any way.

The wording of verses 2184, 2185 and 2203 refers rather to a duration of the communal fast of 3 days.
The following words seem to be clear, precise and binding

verse 2185 ... whoever witnessed the full moon shall fast it ...

The duration of the full moon as seen from earth's perspective is 3 days (at least 98% coverage).
The connection with the duration of the fast can be found confirmed by the usage of the wording -ma'doodat- in verses 2184 and 2203.

As said before
It would be particular to assume that our Creator gave the details of the time-frame of only special occasions of fasting for some special people and not for the general communal fast of -shahr ramadan-.

492 - a fast of two consecutive full moons in case of unvoluntary manslaughter and one can not compensate in another prescribed way.
584 - a fast of two consecutive full moons in case of a certain wrong manner of divorce.
589 - a fast of three day in case of breaking a serious oath and one can not compensate in another prescribed way.
2196 - a dual fast of 3 + 7 days for a special group of visitors of the -hajj-.

It seems to be particular to assume that for the communal fast of -shahr ramadan- the believers are not precisely instructed and that they should read in sources next to the Koran that a -count ma'doodat- has to be until 10 - since this general rule is not found in the Koran.

Verse 2185 seems to be complete and detailed in this matter - no assumptions needed.
... Therefore, those of you who witnessed the -full moon- shall fast it ...
The ones who missed the communal fast, or one or two days of it, can fast other days and complete the relevant count - in this case that seems to be until three, the duration of a full moon.

verse 2914 - 1000 minus 50

sanat cannot be same as aman/year nor does it make sense for anyone to live 950 years.

Different topic although may add insight; believe an equation is given ...

4615 And bearing of him and his separation thirty shahran until when he reaches his strength and reaches forty sanatan

30 x 29.53059 days (lunar month) = 2.42556228 years = 40 sanat

2914 And verily, We sent Noah to his people and he remained among them thousand sanatin less fifty years

Peace,

First, re living for 950 years, it's like saying, 'I've never met one who does it so it doesn't make sense.'

Second, your equation raises another question what kind of "strength" exactly that is being reached when your child reaches 2 1/2 years? I'm asking this because that's not even an age when you can leave your child to live by himself.

Third, IMO it's overly cryptic to say 1000 something minus 50 something to just say "ten (or eleven) years".

No, not necessarily all those people. Reported in 2914 is just a "he" who remained among his people (say, a nation, collectively, i.e. generations of the same nation).

296 clearly speaks of a different person/people.

It may sound illogical for us who are not used to seeing people older than age 100. Though i still think that this is not something that is already set in stone, since we haven't figured out everything about our DNA and all the potentials we have.

Yes, especially when our background (e.g. nationality) hasn't changed much in all those nine centuries. You're not comparing Noah's time with today's (and back to 11th century) Jerusalem are you?

And I don't know why you're referring to 2324, because in that case, even a prophet from six or nine thousand years ago is also "not except a man like you".

Please note that i haven't assigned any number to the 'variable'. At this point however, i will not discard the option of even "nine hundred and fifty years" just because it is not something that's happening in this time (and AQ doesn't suggest this either--it's a reference of the past, and likely, of a very special case).

I don't get the relevance. I believe that humanity (with God-conscious potential) was started more than tens of thousands of years ago on earth.

46 and test the orphans until when they reach the age of marriage

You consider withholding orphan?s wealth and forbid marriage until they reached age 40?

Yes, I believe Ashuddahu is different for everyone, it's not a one-size-fits-all standard marked by certain amount of time, as you have suggested yourself. From 4615, I do not equalize "ashuddahu" with "40 sanat". I asked because of a little semantic problem with your equation/conversion of 4615.

You would not give all the orphans' wealth when they reached age two and a half year so they can manage it by themselves, would you? "Sound judgment" in that age would be the miraculous exception rather than the norm, i suppose we'll both agree on that (i.e. "sound judgment" will be reached past age 2 1/2).

Let's try to see it this way, using your translation and your conversion

4615 And bearing of him and his separation thirty shahran until when he reaches his development/maturity and reaches forty sanatan

Would it be logical for AQ to talk about human development in random fashion such as this

4615 And bearing of him and his separation 2.42556228 years until when he reaches his development/maturity (>2.42556228 years) and reaches 2.42556228 years

This is where the question came from.

sanat (harvest window perhaps)
(30 lunar months) / 40 = 22.1479425 days

Thank you but IMO you're just presenting your own conversion table. You're so called "equation" is where verification is most needed. Thanks however for showing that it could be somehow related with sinna. For now i will hold my opinion.

Both the word -sana- as the word -<aam- seem to mean a year according to the Koran. Both words are seemingly interchangable
But it is noticable that sometimes the Koran uses the word -sana- in a negative context and the word -<aam- in a positive context.

7130 We then afflicted the people of Pharaoh with years of drought/-sineen-, a shortage in crops, so that they might take heed.

1249 "Then after that will come a year/-<aam- in which the people will have abundant rain and which they will be able to produce once again."

Lane's dictionary states that the word -sana- can refer to a year of drought or barrenness.

This information could lead to following reading of verse 2914 - as is mentioned in Lane's as well.

And verily, We sent Noah to his people and he remained among them thousand years of hardship -sanatin- less fifty good years -<aamaan-.-

That's an obvious contradiction; Lane was a bad logician. 50 harsh or good years?

When does a year start and how to determine a good or bad year; can it be both?

Why would anyone desire thousand years of hardship?

1249 "Then after that will come a year/-<aam- in which the people will have abundant rain and which they will be able to produce once again."

As said before, verse 2914 has a special wording.
A person could say I had 60 bad years except for 3 good ones. It is not the most direct way of transferring a message - but it is clear.
The explanation as found in Lane's dictionary seems not to be illogical.

When does a year start and how to determine a good or bad year; can it be both?

The Koran does not give information about the timing of the start of the year.
Both words for year -<aam- and -sana- are used in the Koran in general.
Only in the case of a contrast between years the word -sana- is sometimes used in a negative context and the word -<aam- in a positive context.

Why would anyone desire thousand years of hardship?
296 ...he could be granted a life thousand sanat (bad years?)
2247 a day with your Lord like thousand sanat (bad years?) from what you reckon

The word -sana- is also used in a neutral way as is the word -<aam- when there is not a context of positive versus negative.

No time to study Bible or ancient Hebrew although it's similar to Arabic?

sha?nah years

The Hebrew word -shanah- for year is rather similar to the Arabic word -sana-

Does it say in the verse at exactly age 40 the human says that?
They are spoken by those considerate of their parents ? at any age!
4615
And We have enjoined the mankind to his parents? kindness
Carried him his mother hardship and gave birth to him hardship

Numbers can have a symbolical meaning - the year 40 can be read as a symbol of mental maturity.
Interestingly some modern insights on the human development acknowledge the real maturity of a human around the age of 40.
That of course does not exclude that people can realise the knowledge of verse 4615 at other ages as well.

And bearing of him and his separation thirty shahr until when he reaches ashuddahu and reaches forty sanat
He says, "My Lord...

The cause and effect of the verse seem to be when one reaches maturity - symbolized as the age of 40 years, then one may acknowledge the value of following sentence

"My Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do righteousness that pleases You. And let my progeny be righteous. I have repented to You; I am of those who have submitted." -

Peace,

1000 years of difficulty minus 50 years that were as a contrast good.

50 of 1000 cannot be called bad then also called good.

1247 He said, "You will plant regularly for seven years/-sineen-, and whatever you harvest you must leave it in its pods, except for the little that you will eat."
1248 "Then after that will come seven ones severe in drought, which will consume all that you planted except for what you have stored."
1249 "Then after that will come a year/-<aam- in which the people will have abundant rain and which they will be able to produce once again."

An obvious contradiction and illogical; seven good which they stored their food followed by seven bad?

Therefore a contradiction as with the case of orphans marrying and getting their inheritance < age 40.

Again another contradiction soon as any believer < age 40 says that.

50 of 1000 cannot be called bad then also called good.

The special wording of verse 2914 seems to give the message that the years of Noah that he remained with his people were many and most of them were difficult. In a literal reading 50 easier and 950 harder years.
As said before in analogy

The first seven years can also be seen as hard years because of following
1247 He said, "You will plant regularly for seven years/-sineen-, and whatever you harvest you must leave it in its pods, except for the little that you will eat."

Both the Koran as the Torah indicate that the age of Noah was very high and that it is worthwhile to mention.
This is not the case with other prophets.

According to your interpretation there would not be anything special about the duration of the stay of Noah with his people - so why would it still be mentioned with Noah and not with the other prophets?

Therefore a contradiction as with the case of orphans marrying and getting their inheritance < age 40.
Again another contradiction soon as any believer < age 40 says that.

There is not a contradiction - it depends on the context what the word -ashuddahu- means.

There are nevertheless the literal wording of verse 4615 many children that are not getting breast-feeded until the total age of 30 -shahr- (including pregnancy).
The words are rather used in general in a normative way concerning the period of breast-feeding. This does not create a contradiction either.

This is not contradictory - it is rather the sometimes special use of language of the Koran.

Anyway for now I do not see any sense in a new usage of a 22 day period of counting.
From verse 4615 one can not read a binding ruling in this matter - rather the contrary, seeing the other koranic verses.
It seems not to have any contact with phases of the moon or other phenomena - or with known calendars.
There does not seem to be any practical use for a period of 22 days as a way for counting time.

Peace Eid,

sanat cannot be same as aman/year nor does it make sense for anyone to live 950 years.
Different topic although may add insight; believe an equation is given ...
4615 And bearing of him and his separation thirty shahran until when he reaches his strength and reaches forty sanatan
30 x 29.53059 days (lunar month) = 2.42556228 years = 40 sanat
2914 And verily, We sent Noah to his people and he remained among them thousand sanatin less fifty years
3/4 lunar month x 1000 = 60.639057 years ? 50 years = 10.639057 years

Dear brother, I agree that "sana" and "aam" are different but forty sana cannot be 2.42 years. Reason is that if we read the rest of 4615, we will see that upon reaching 40 sana, the person would say "O my Lord! Grant me that I may be grateful for your favour that you have bestowed upon me, and upon both my parents, and that I may work righteousness that you approve; and make my offspring good. I have repented to you and I am amongst the peacemakers." Surely, a 2.42 year old child cannot utter such prayer.

I think that if we look at all the passages where "sana" is mentioned, it seems to have to do with the natural cycle of the earth (For example, see 105 and 1712).

On the other hand, "aam" seem to have to do with human calendars. For example, see "aamohm" (their year)

Peace and all best wishes,

Ayman
