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.'

It's illogical, means all those people also lived 950 years and contradictory ...

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.

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.

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).
Reminds me of those who believe in 6000 year old earth, yet trees are older...
World's Oldest Living Tree -- 9550 Years Old -- Discovered In Sweden
http//www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/04/080416104320.htmI 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.

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 daysThank 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.
Peace,

This thread was becoming so repeatative that it was not worth contributing to it, until you started discussing Sanat and Aam as this is very important subject this may lead us to reccognising forbidden months too.
Why not start a new thread discussing the difference between these terms so others, who may have had enough of this thread and may not even bother to look at it twice, will miss out on this subject.
I always hmm Noah live for almost a century and how many generation he saw passed during his life time?
When referring to Noah's age we read Sanat and Aaman in that verse so yes I am inclind to follow your calculations so does that means he lived till 60+ OR was it after the storm that he lived for another 60 years?Peace
BTW I only read this thread when I see any contribution form SEid

2914 And verily, We sent Noah to his people and he remained among them thousand -sanatin- less fifty -<aamaan-.
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.
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."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-.-
In the Bible, Genesis 929 states And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years and he died.
The reading of the word -sana- as 22 days seems not to be supported by verse 4615.
- "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." -
These words are rather spoken by an adult person - not by a little child of about 2.4 years old.

Peace,
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".
No, unless humans had similar life spans he'd be a man 900+ years older/unlike you not a tree.
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
Talks about one critical stage of early life development (ashuddahu) and equates 30 shahr to 40 sanat not about attaining wisdom/maturity at exactly age 40 or that people are dumb before that.
4067 furthermore He brings you out a child, furthermore lets you reach ashuddakum

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?
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 reckonIn the Bible, Genesis 929 states And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years and he died.

1000 years of difficulty minus 50 years that were as a contrast good.
In analogy of following verses
7130 We then afflicted the people of Pharaoh with years of drought/-sineen-, a shortage in crops, so that they might take heed.
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."

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

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.

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.As said before

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,

3/4 lunar month x 1000 = 60.639057 years ? 50 years = 10.639057 yearsDear 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)

Samia explained it nicely in this thread...
I do not think that Noah lived 950 years, otherwise, his people would have believed in his message, thinking that he was an extraordinary creature or an angel...
That of course does not exclude that people can realise the knowledge of verse 4615 at other ages as well.

Samia explained it nicely in this thread...
- I do not think that Noah lived 950 years, otherwise, his people would have believed in his message, thinking that he was an extraordinary creature or an angel... -
According to the Koran - several prophets had special signs next to the content of the message itself.
For instance
- Abraham and the fire that was cool for him.
- Moses and the kane that became a snake and the special white hand.
- Jesus who called people back from the death, healing the sick.
A sign of Noah could be his high age - this can be seen as compatible with the extraordinary deeds of other messengers.
Also Abraham, Moses or Jesus could have been regarded as an extraordinary being because of the special signs.
That was probably the point of the signs - to have a special way of getting attention to the content of the message.The question remains
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 in the Koran with Noah and not with the other prophets?Peace,

seid has a point about sinnean and hisab ,
even if he is mistaken he has done a good job by looking at this,he has an open mind.
i salute you seaid
thanks
you have a point i will look into this -
Peace brother Eid,
Thank you for that concise reply and sanat seems to fit perfectly with concept of time in general...
Here are verses for reference...I agree that "sanat" fits in the concept of time in general. I would like to add that it is the concept of measuring time via a general natural cycle. On the other hand "aam" seems to be related to specific manmade calendars.
So the formula for Noah is
1000 natural cycles - 50 calendar cycles
I don't know what this formula implies. Perhaps time on the arc time passed differently than on earth.
Peace,
Ayman

Salaamun alaikum,
I know it's been a long while since I have been on this board. Still haven't completed the project I wanted to do about so called quotes of Muhammad in hadith books vs. his quotes in the god's book but still intend to.
Anyway, just wanted to know Ayman if you could post the list you made of shahr ramadan months for several years. I had it saved but have since lost it when we moved.
I'd appreciate it.

Peace Ayman,
I?m still looking into this which it seems that different words could be used to describe a natural time cycle versus an event (point in time). Puzzling is the last line in Perf558 contains both sanat and shahr ?
http//oi54.tinypic.com/2z811j6.jpg
shahr Jumada the first from sanat two and twenty and writing his ibn hadiduw
Although seems very suspicious like an attempt by someone clever inscribing modern Arabic script into the document to prove a point which it?s the only text from that time to contain dotting. Notice also the spacing ? why start writing in between Greek text when there was plenty of room left at the bottom?
On a side note; was vacationing last week in the south coast of Turkey and the room was built high on a hill and perhaps a sign exactly aligned same as the sleepers in the cave got to see the sun when it rose inclining away from the right and when it set passing away to the left ...

Peace -- it maybe helpful to understanding the use of alif at beginning of some words to denote plural and at end which the closest translation is like the word "for" in English.
11 singular
- 2185 shr Ramadan that was revealed in it the Quran
- 2185 so who shahida from you al-shr so he should fast it

I'd appreciate it.Peace sister and it is good to see you back on the forum.
I think that the list is probably somewhere on the thread. The full-moon after the summer solstice will occur on July 15 this year.
The rule for determining when exactly the full moon occurs is given clearly by the following signs
8416. So I do swear by the redness of dusk.
8417. And the night and what it enshrouds.
8418. And the moon when it becomes symmetric.So after sunset when the sky is glowing red and the night enshrouds the sky from the opposite direction from this direction the full symmetric moon appears.
This year this will happen on July 15. So on July 15th shortly after sunset and from the opposite direction of its red afterglow the full moon will appear.
It is not the nearly full-moon on July 14th since this one will appear before sunset. It also cannot be the one on July 16th because it will appear long after sunset.
This same rule can be consistently applied every year. You can get the data about the moon and the sun from this link
