    peace all,

    is there anywhere mentioned in Quraan regarding seeing fullmoon or crescent moon or moon to start fasting.

    peace.

    Salaamun alayka,

    No I do not think so, but I also do not believe it is somewhere mentioned that we have to start at the beginning of the arabic month Ramadan.

    Salaam,
    Bender

        Peace everyone

        Dear brother Ayman and Abdellilah, I already read your explanation in another thread and quoted this

        A common misconception is that the word "shahr" means month. However, the term "shahr" doesn't mean month. According to Classical Arabic dictionaries, the Arabs used to call the moon "shahr". But what phase of the moon does the word "shahr" imply?

        You claim if Classical Arab using the word shahr for mentioning ?moon?, but I have some evidences

        1. In Lane Lexicon page 1612 in section , reffering the word shahr as month not moon.

        2. From Quran Kareem.

        2189
        " They ask you regarding the crescent/new moons, say ?They are a timing mechanism for the people and the Pilgrimage.? And piety is not that you would enter a home from its back, but piety is whoever is righteous and comes to the homes from their main doors. And be aware of God that you may succeed."

        NOTEThis verse mentioning moon but not using the word "shahr".Plus read this verse 2197

        2197
        "The Pilgrimage months are made known. So whoever decides to perform the Pilgrimage therein, then there shall be no sexual approach, nor wickedness, nor baseless argument in the Pilgrimage. And any good that you do, God is aware of it; and bring provisions for yourselves, though the best provision is righteousness; and be aware of Me O you who possess intelligence."

        NOTEVerse 2197 mention the word month with "ashhurun"/shahr.The word ashurun is jamak (plurar), so it's impossible if this word referring to moon.

        1. I quoted from some hadith which also posses Classical Arab
          "
          ( Sunan an-Nasa'i 2106)

        RED "which is better than a thousand months; whoever is deprived of its goodness is indeed deprived"

        .
        (Muslim Book 9, Hadith 271)

        RED "Did the Messenger of Allah use to observe three days of Saum in every month?

        From that hadith the usage of word ?shahr? in both two sentences not referring moon at all instead month.

        I'm also try to searching in Lisan Al Arab, but I'm not found anything.

        So Mr Ayman and Mr Abdellilah, what dictionary you used which said if shahr means moon or full moon??

        Hope you understand my explanation.

          Peace All,

          You cannot consider this a proper poll when you have not included fasting for 3 days, or indeed, a fast that does not include food. This is probably why you are not receiving many votes. I for one cannot vote, because there is not a category for me.

          Dawn.

                Again, you are comparing APPLES and ORANGES here. That is why in response to one of your previous posts I mentioned that understanding basic Arabic is imperative to understanding of The Qur'aan.

                In 271 the word , pronounced "MUSALLAMATAN" and means "sound or whole", it is an ADJECTIVE and needs to be translated to convey its meaning.

                In 2128 the words and pronounced "MUSLEMEEN" and "MUSLIMATUN" meaning "MUSLIMS" and "MUSLIM" respectively, they are both NOUNs. Nouns are not to be translated.

                Peace,
                Khalil

                  Peace Earthdom,

                  This verse mentioning moon but not using the word "shahr".

                  2189 mentions / the crescents. The word for moon is .

                  Verse 2197 mention the word month with "ashhurun"/shahr.The word ashurun is jamak (plurar), so it's impossible if this word referring to moon.

                  2197 mentions / full moons.

                  I'm also try to searching in Lisan Al Arab, but I'm not found anything.
                  So Mr Ayman and Mr Abdellilah, what dictionary you used which said if shahr means moon or full moon??

                    Peace Dawn,

                    You cannot consider this a proper poll when you have not included fasting for 3 days, or indeed, a fast that does not include food.

                    It's a proper poll if you want to know how many people agree with the subject title, how many disagree, and how many are not sure. It's my poll, so I can put whatever options I like.

                    I for one cannot vote, because there is not a category for me.

                    There is one option called "No."

                    Abdelilah

                              If you pay a bit more attention to the DIACRITICAL signs on these two words you'll find out that the two words are quite different; they pronounce differently with quite different meanings.

                              , in 271, pronounces "musallamatun" and means "whole" or "sound".

                              , in 2128, pronounces "muslimatan" and means "Muslim".

                                , in 2128, pronounces "muslimatan" and means "Muslim".

                                By your definition of Muslim whatever that is -- can you be Muslim to someone else?

                                Are you suggesting it says they asked that their descendants become a community of ?Muslim females to you??

                                2128 lord ours and make us mus'limayni (masculine dual) to you and from descendants ours community mus'limatan (adjective feminine) to you?

                                    Like I said before, if you want to understand The Qur'aan on your own you need to have a basic knowledge of the Arabic language; or at least use a dictionary to learn the meanings of individual words. Here we go again.

                                    , in 271, pronounces "musallamatun" and means "whole", "sound" or "healthy". The verse talking about a Wholesome, sound, and healthy cow. It does NOT mean a "Muslim cow" as you imagine out ignorance regarding the Arabic language.

                                    , in 2128, pronounces "muslimatan" and means "Muslim".

                                    Peace,
                                    Khalil

                                      Peace -- why do you continue to not answer questions and repeat contradictions clearly pointed out?

                                      By your definition of Muslim whatever that is -- can you be Muslim to someone else?

                                      Are you suggesting it says they asked that their descendants become a community of ?Muslim females to you??

                                      2128 lord ours and make us mus'limayni (masculine dual) to you and from descendants ours community mus'limatan (adjective feminine) to you?

                                      665 perhaps lord his if divorce you that shall substitute for him spouses of better of from you mus'limtin (adjective feminine) believers (adjective feminine) obedient (adjective feminine) repentant (adjective feminine)?

                                      Peace

                                        The red highlights above are from me.

                                        1st A Muslim is Muslim to ALLAAH, swt, not to anyone else.

                                        2nd Again because you are ignorant regarding the Arabic language you get the wrong meaning from the verse 2128 below.

                                        Our Lord! And make us Muslims unto Thee and of our seed a Muslim nation unto Thee, and show us our ways of worship, and relent toward us. Lo! Thou, only Thou, art the Relenting, the Merciful.

                                        is grammatically feminine and relates to the word right before it, i.e. the word which is also a feminine noun and together, i.e. mean "a Muslim nation". It does not mean "Muslim females" as you wrongly think.

                                        Peace,
                                        Khalil

                                          2ND ?The Qur?aan? is a proper name and is not supposed to be translated when used in another language like English. Muhammad is Muhammad no matter in what language. Translating The Qur?aan to ?the great reading? is certainly a great disrespect to its divine origin and stature, if not a blasphemy. The Torah (the Old Testament) is the Torah, the Injeel (the New Testament) is the Injeel, and the Qur?aan (the Last Testament), should likewise be the Qur?aan.

                                          3RD The terms ?Islam? and ?Muslims? must not be translated either, not to an even somewhat popular terms like ?submitting? and ?submitters?, let alone ?peace making? and ?peace makers?! CHRISTIANS follow CHRISTIANITY, JEWS follow JUDAISM, and by the same token, MUSLIMS follow ISLAM. Now back to our main topic.

                                          Peace kgwithnob,

                                          The reason why the name Muhammad stays the same and is not translated is because there
                                          is no convenient English equivalent to Muhammad.

                                          The word Quran also should not be translated because there is no acceptable English equivalent.

                                          Christian is a translation from the Arabic wal-nar or
                                          the Nazarenes. 2/62

                                          Jew is a translation from the Arabic hd 5/41

                                          Submitter can be a translation of Muslim

                                          Submission can be a translation of Islam

                                          God can be a translation of Allah

                                          However, Peacemaker is a poor translation for Muslim because it denotes a go between
                                          and not one who has surrendered.

                                          The word ?Allaah?, just like its equivalent word, ?God? in English, must be treated just the same when it comes to writing it in English, i.e. we must CAPITALIZE it. Otherwise, we?ve not appreciated His majesty?s stature the way He deserves. God must not be replaced by ?the god?.

                                          Agreed, to have my name begin with caps and not God's is indeed offensive and blasphemous.

                                          Your main point is understood that there are those who sell the religion for a cheap price,
                                          i.e., to satisfy their ego.

                                          Hey! we are in the last ten days of Ramadan, Insha'Allah congrats are on the way!

                                          peace
