Is it even possible to do True Hajj in 2013?
-
It means that Hajj CAN be near the sea hmm unlike Makkah?
Not necessarily. The people being addressed by the aayah might happen to be by the sea. Remember, that the restriction period is a full three-month season, and you can be anywhere during that time. If you happen to be by the sea, then you can go fishing. This is why the aayah mentions "travel". You do not have to be inside the Masjid at the time.
It defies belief and truly boggles the mind how deceived and brainwashed the sectarians are in the way they understand the so-called "State of Ihram". They think that it is during a specific time when you are approaching Makkah, and doing your rituals for a few days therein (as if anyone can engage in travel or even think of hunting a deer, or contemplate going out of his way to the sea coast to catch a fish while being engrossed in those mindless rituals they do!).
They have made a complete mockery of the Quran's teaching regarding the restricted months, and the true understanding of what Hajj really is.
The main culprits who did this are the same ones who hijacked the Deen, moved the seat of government out of its true place, transferred it to Damascus and later to Baghdad, and established their tyrannical and corrupt rule there. The Hajj was emptied of its meaning and became a carnival of pagan rituals.
There is more to the story...much more ... but to go any further is to open a Pandora's box unto something very ugly...

peace bro pazuzu,
I agree with much of what you said, except
Answer These 3 days are your 'umrah. Plain and simple.
This explains why, immediately before the above signs, we read{...If you are secure, then whoever resides ("enjoys" the 'umrah) until the Hajj, he shall provide what offering is affordable; but for he who cannot find anything, then he must fast for three days during the Hajj and seven when he returns; this will make a complete ten; this is for those whose wives/relatives/ are not resident at the Restricted Masjid. And be aware of Allah, and know that Allah is severe in retribution}....
Note, above, how your 'umrah period actually extends UNTIL the period of your Hajj (which you had assigned for yourself) arrives. During that time, you are present at the great gathering, in the Sanctuary.
The blue "this" is referring to those who visited. The word "ila" rarely, if ever, means "until", as that is more commonly "hatta" which is also used in 2196, so it should read "enjoyed in the visit to the hajj". The reason it only refers to giving of hdy for those who visited, is because those who do hajj will automatically be providing food/etc thus there is no need to mention it for them.
I have read 2196 many times, but I didn't realise that until recently. Now it seems so obvious.
The 'umrah is not detached from the Hajj, as it is practiced today.
I agree.

Peace Wakas.

Can you please clarify this point? Do the visitors not participate in the hajj?

Pazuzu,
You make some great points. But before we can get to all that, shouldn't we know what those months are and where to go? I can't find anything even clarifying the most basic elements of Hajj (time/location).Yuliana,
I put "Sunni" on my landing card. I had long left Sunnism but I wasn't about to get sent back after a twelve hour flight. -

One has to put which "sect" one follows or declare an affiliation with faith? o How strange. I have no idea why people have such a fascination with other people's belief system. Recently I have come to realise that "religious" people can be the most repugnant. In cases of malice, what defence does a label provide.

Religions are just private clubs with members and rules. If you follow the rules, you will find a sense of belonging and a community to call your own. If you break or question the rules, you will have your membership revoked. Most members of any given group are not the least bit interested in the truth or even God. They are attached to the group they hold a membership card with and their identity revolves around their affiliation with the group. They take so much pride in their group and have little room to think about what happens after death.

It would still be a futile waste of time. Returning the Hajj to what it used to be requires that the entire Deen (system) be set up and implemented in a state, fully under the control of believers, that declares the law of God as its constitution. This is no longer possible.
Theoretically, there is nothing in the Quran that prohibits this state from being founded elsewhere, if not in its original location, and hence establishing a new Kaabah there.
As for the proper timing of Hajj, there are two conflicting theories The first places the Hajj months during spring time (March 21 - June 21), give or take a few days. It begins with the spring equinox and ends with the summer solstice (Ramadan). The second theory places the Hajj months during the summer time, until the autumn equinox.
I think you should see what brother Ayman has to say regarding this issue.
One who does hajj is not the same as one who visits. I will cover this in the article I'm writing, GW.
Looking forward to Wakas' article.
Regards.

I find it quite unsettling that there is so much confusion and vagueness about Hajj even in the Qur'an...
I wouldn't even think about going to present day Mecca, so, def not possible in 2013. -
The state of restriction is not 3 or 4 days, but a whole season of 3 months. These 3 months are the SAME MONTHS OF THE HAJJ. It is one and the same period.
Salam Brother ,
According to the Quran it's four months not three ?
936 / Lo! the number of the months with Allah is twelve months by Allah's ordinance in the day that He created the heavens and the earth. Four of them are restricted that is the right "Deen" (system) . So wrong not yourselves in them. And fight the polytheist all together as they are fighting you all of together , And know that Allah is with those who those who guard ( the limits set by Allah ) .

Actually I'm still confused on this hajj things brickwall.
This problem is not simply playing Arabic grammar only but must used some proof from another narrations I think especially to understand that hajar aswat thing.
Yeah for our safety, if you want go to hajj then follow Sunni's way contemporary because there is no final fatwa from Quranist.Yep filling Saudi's stomach is kind of sadaqah hahahaha ;D

Peace.
Salam Brother ,

It is four shuhuur. If you understand shahr = full moon instead of shahr = lunar month (with new moons as marker), you get three lunar months as the time of four shuhuur
first full moon --> second full moon (1 month)
second full moon --> third full moon (1 month)
third full moon --> fourth full moon (1 month)totally 3 month

Salam ,
The fourth full Moon is marking the starter of the fourth month and at the same time the end of the third month , the same as the first full moon is marking the start of the first month and the end of the twelve month , think about it ! , the breakdown instead should be as below
first full moon --> second full moon (1 st month )
second full moon --> third full moon (2 nd month)
third full moon --> fourth full moon (3 rd month)
fourth full moon --> Fifth full moon (4 th month )
total 4 Months
And it goes on
........5 to 6 --> (5th month )
........6 to 7 --> (6th month )
........ 7 to 8 --> (7th month )
........ 8 to 9 --> (8th month )
........ 9 to 10 --> (9th month )
........ 10 to 11 --> (10th month )
.........11 to 12 --> (11th month )
.........12 to 1 --> (12th month )total 12 months
This is the correct breakdown of the twelve "Chahr " / Months , there is no inconsistency .
If you still not convinced with my approach Lets go according to your analysis , and see where it ends up
What is the equivalent of the English word "Month" in the Quran ?
