    Noon, you will have to forget about the months of the so-called pure lunar year because they have been concokted after the death of our Prophet (pbuh) by postponing the 13th moon ON PAPER to the next iddah, so they are false.

    Full
    moon ?year
    07 July. 632
    27 June 633
    16 July. 634
    05 July. 635

    12 July. 637

    08 July. 640
    28 June 641
    17 July. 642
    07 July. 643

    Each iddah (&#1577 beginning with the moon which I underlined above has 13 moons. If you postpone the 13th moon to the next iddah, you will get the 12-moon/month lunar year. But you can do that only ON PAPER. Your hands can never reach the moons which Allah created in the sky and you can never postpone them.

    16 Jul 634?

    Since the day Allah created the skies and the earth (936) there is no such thing as a moon/lunar month coming 11 days eralier non stop each year.

    Each one of the true moons/lunar months is fixed at a particular time of the solar year. For example the full moon which rises after the longest day of the year is fixed between June 21 and July 21.

    All those "shahr jumada al-awwal"s, "shahr ramadhan"s etc... of the pure lunar year (falsely called islamic) are false.

    The true moons/lunar months which Allah created are IN THE SKY,
    they are not ON PAPER which people call calendar.

      Peace brook,

      Yes familiar with full moon stuff agree the ignorant took over made up things nowhere written in Qu'ran. However, early documents like receipt of sheep and other accounts are unbiased and according to Perf 558 if we role forward Ramadan falls mid-summer right after summer solstice full moon. Likewise this account in the year 541 CE ...

      Flavius Belisarius, commander of the Byzantine armies, summoned a council of war against Persia. Two Roman officers in command of Syrian garrisons refused to join Belisarius' army to Nisibis. They said that their absence would leave Syria and Phoenicia exposed to the attacks of the Arabs.

      Belisarius argued that this would not be a problem because the summer solstice was at hand, when the Arabs devoted two months to the rites of their religion without resorting to arms, so there was no cause for apprehension. -- Invasion of Syria and sack of Antioch by Gibbon

      936 indeed count l-shuhri/the lunar cycles near/with the god two dual ten (twelve) shahran/lunar cycle of in book the god day creation the heavens and the land therein quartet (i.e. group) urumun/prohibit such the creed the value so not thou wrong ye of in/concerning them souls yours (yourselves) and fight ye of the idolaters all like/as what fighting you all and know ye of that the god with the righteous

      937 only the postponement increase in the disregard misguided in it the ones disregard they of allowing it Aama/year of and prohibiting it Aama/year of to adjust count what prohibit the god so allow they of what prohibit the god beautified for them evil deeds theirs and the god not guided the folk the skeptics

        Ramadan is all about working against your body's needs and instincts.

        You will not feed your body anything (food & drink)
        You will not provide your body of any kind of pleasure. That also include sleeping all day long and being lazy.
        You will not follow your negative self into manifesting either gossip, mockery, anger, jealousy, pride...

        And this everyday for about 30 days, from dawn until sunset.

        From sunset until dawn, you have enough time to rest, and eat and drink. I'd advise drinking small portions of water (and juice) continuously starting from the moment your fast breaks i.e sunset until whenever you are willing to sleep.

        You should sleep early because you are physically tired, and because you should probably wake up slightly before dawn to have a final meal and drink. But this one depends on the person, you can make the final preparations slightly before dawn or way before. Best thing to do is to sleep early and wake up early, make your final preparations and start your day.

        This by the way, might not perfectly match what quranists believe.

        Quite luxurious! Reality is quite different.

            Notes

            Here iddah is
            series of the full moons
            from Jan to Jan.

            A series of the full moons
            is 12 full moons (936)

            The 354 days of a 12-moon series
            fall 11 days shorter than the 365-day solar year,
            and this makes the moons come
            11 days earlier.

            When the 11 days
            add up to 29.5 days or more,
            a 13th moon appears.

            The 13th moon
            makes the moons in the next series come
            19 days later.

            Time of the full moon
            immediately after the summer solstice
            is fixed between June 21 and July 21.
            That is the shahr ramadan-hot moon.

              Salamu Alaykum Brook,

              This is a misquote of 936. Here is the full beginning of that verse

              The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve (in a year).

              Yes 12 months in a year (not 12 full moons by the way, as there can be more than 12), about 30 days each, gives us our Lunar Year. Which is why Ramadan is starting in about 9 days and will go for about 30 days after that insha'Allah.

              Again, no one has addressed 584 which clearly states that two months of fasting=60 days, therefore logically 1 month of fasting=30 days. I do not see what is so difficult for everyone to understand here. Am I missing something?

              Best regards and Salaam,

              Clash.

                Peace -- which word is year?

                Did you not understand my prior post i.e. # of days fasting does not correlate with feeding # of poor?

                584 so who not find so fast/abstinence shahrayni/lunar cycles two successive two from before that touch dual so who not able so provide sustenance sixty poor of ...

                60 poor = 60 days

                quote author=Noon waalqalami link=topic=9609522.msg405045#msg405045 date=1495059216

                It doesn't always correlate see below feed (10) poor or if no wherewithal (3) days...

                10 poor = 3 days
                200 poor = 60 days

                589 not will call you the god in the idle talk in right hands/oaths yours and however will call you in what pledge you the right hands/oaths so reparation its provide sustenance tentet (group of ten) poor from of moderate/middle what thou feeding families yours or clothe them or liberate neck (i.e. slave) so who not find so fast/abstinence trio (i.e. group of three successive) days such reparation right hands/oaths yours when have sworn you and that guard ye of right hands/oaths yours like such shows the god for you signs his that may you thanks giving

                  Hi everyone,
                  it would be more useful to look at the context of verse 936 and 937 together.

                  936 God ordained the months twelve in number when He created the heavens and the earth. Of these, four are sacred, according to the true Faith. Therefore do not sin against yourselves by violating them. But you may fight against the idolaters in all these months, since they themselves fight against you in all of them. Know that God is with the righteous.
                  937 The postponement of sacred months is a grossly impious practice, in which the unbelievers are misguided. They allow it one year and forbid it in the next, so that they may make up for the months which God has sanctified, thus making lawful what God has forbidden. Their foul acts seem fair to them God does not guide the unbelievers.

                  There are twelve months, of these four are sacred. In verse 937 we are told these sacred months are arbitrarily postponed from year to year. So the sacred months are recurrent every year. So we have in 936 the twelve months of a year. And not twelve full moons, because how can you postpone the full moon? You can only postpone the sacred months.

                    The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve (in a year).

                    In 936 Allah is saying NOTHING
                    concerning the solar year
                    or the lunar year or the luni-solar year
                    or ANY year system.

                    All He is saying is
                    that
                    number of the full moons is? twelve,
                    iddat al-shohoor? isn? ashere shahr.

                    Another thing He is not saying is
                    that
                    number of the full moons is NOT thirteen.

                    Allah is saying... number of "shahr"s is 12.
                    He is not saying it is not, it can NOT be 13.

                    So it is up to you to check to see
                    whether it can be thirteen as well.

                    For example
                    the iddah of 2018-2019...
                    can it have 13 full moons?

                    Here is the times of the full moons of the iddah

                    -------1------------2-------3--------4--------5--------6--------7-----------8------------9------10-------11-------12------13
                    27 Jun 2018-26 Jul-24 Aug-23 Sep-22 Oct-21 Nov-21 Dec-20 Jan 2019-18 Feb-20 Mar-19 Apr-18 May-16 Jun
                    17 Jul 2019...

                    You do not have to believe these full moon times,
                    so count the full moons of 2018-2019 YOURSELF.

                    Next year start with the June moon when it is full
                    and go on counting until the July moon of 2019.

                    Please do that to check for yourself
                    whether the number is 13 or not.

                    And think
                    what becomes of the 12-shahr lunar year
                    when there are 13 "shahr"s up in the sky?

                    Finally, the word shahr in 936...
                    can it be month (lasting 29.5 days)?
                    Is it possible?

                    Ask yourself

                    Since the number of the "shahr"s from June to June/July (that is, a solar year) is 13
                    and since 13 times 29.5 equals 383.5 days,
                    would there be room for those 383.5 days in a 365-day solar year? Is it possible?

                      Salamu Alaykum Brook,

                      Yes there can be 13 full moons in a year. It is called a Blue Moon, which is why Shahar means month and not full moon.

                      "A "Blue Moon" is the name given to the second full moon in a calendar month. Because there are roughly 29.5 days between full moons, it is unusual for two full moons to "fit" into a 30 or 31 day month (and impossible to fit into a 28 or 29 day month, so February can never have a Blue Moon)...In January and March of 1999, we had a situation which only takes place about four times a century two Blue Moons occurring in the same year. The last time this happened was in January and April of 1961 and it will not happen again until January and March of 2018. " https//nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/lunar/blue_moon.html

                      Also, still no one has answered about 584, which tells us that 2 months of fasting=feeding 60 poor people for the 60 days of the two months; thus, if you did not understand 2184-2190, here it is made clear for you that 1 month of fasting (Ramandan)= feeding thirty poor people for the 30 days of the month.

                      Best regards and Salaam,

                        Yes there can be 13 full moons in a year. It is called a Blue Moon

                        Peace, yes correct.

                        No, already answered you twice see 589 feed 10 poor is 3 days hence no correlation -- please confirm you read this?

                          In 936 Allah is saying NOTHING
                          concerning the solar year
                          or the lunar year or the luni-solar year
                          or ANY year system.

                          All He is saying is
                          that
                          number of the full moons is? twelve,
                          iddat al-shohoor? isn? ashere shahr.

                          That's correct that 936 and 937 says nothing about wether it is a lunar year or a solar year. There are just the twelve months of a year. If it would be translated as "full moons" it would mean a lunar year.

                          Another thing He is not saying is
                          that
                          number of the full moons is NOT thirteen.

                          Allah is saying... number of "shahr"s is 12.
                          He is not saying it is not, it can NOT be 13.

                          That's not logical. Here is a statement about a certain number. And if there are twelve, it implies, it can not be 13 nor any other number.

                          Also in verse 2185 there is no full moon, because the fasting days are in plural, not only one day of the full moon

                          Therefore whoever of you is present in that month let from wrong. Therefore whoever of you is present in that month let him fast. But he who is ill or on a journey shall fast A SIMILAR NUMBER OF DAYS later on.

                            During the same time
                            as the earth rotates around the sun ONCE, the moon rotates around the earth 12 TIMES
                            which means
                            the moon?s 12 rotations AND the earth?s 1 rotation?
                            that is, the two rotations... are simultaneous.

                            The only difference
                            is that when the moon has completed its 12 rotations in 354 days
                            the earth has 11 more days to complete its rotation in 365 days.

                            When the 11 days add up to 29.5 days or more,
                            a 13th moon appears
                            which means that this time the moon makes 13 rotations around the earth instead of 12
                            while the earth makes its 1 rotation around the sun
                            and the two rotations are simultaneous.

                            If shahr in 936 meant lunar month,
                            13 months would make 383.5 days
                            and there would be NO ROOM for the whole 383.5 days in the 365-day solar year.

                            So
                            SHAHR in 936 can not be a 29.5-day MONTH,
                            SHAHR in 936 is only a 1-night FULL MOON.

                            What manages to find room for themselves in the 365-day solar year are the 13 full moons
                            by having certain days from the first of the 13 months in the previous solar year
                            and by having certain days from the last of the 13 months in the following solar year.

                            Those certain days are 18.5 days in total (383.5 ? 365 = 18.5).

                              Salamu Alaykum Noon,

                              Thanks for 589, no I did not see that you mentioned that before.

                              I will have to disagree however as it seems we are comparing apples and oranges.

                              One issue is fasting the month of Ramadan, thirty days. The reason we get one day of not fasting=feeding one poor person during Ramadan is because of verses 2183-4

                              "O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint,- (Fasting) for a fixed number of days; but if any of you is ill, or on a journey, the prescribed number (Should be made up) from days later. For those who can do it (With hardship), is a ransom, the feeding of one that is indigent. But he that will give more, of his own free will,- it is better for him. And it is better for you that ye fast, if ye only knew." 2183-4

                              The fact that there are 30 days in the month of Ramadan and if you were to miss fasting all of those days for some reason, maybe you were on a voyage in the North Pole and the Sun was setting that year for example, it would be considered a "hardship" and you would make up the days later by feeding 1 poor person for each day. This is fine and in the context of fasting, no problems here.

                              Your example from 589 is about someone who has taken an oath and then broken it. Let's look at the whole verse

                              "Allah will not call you to account for what is futile in your oaths, but He will call you to account for your deliberate oaths for expiation, feed ten indigent persons, on a scale of the average for the food of your families; or clothe them; or give a slave his freedom. If that is beyond your means, fast for three days. That is the expiation for the oaths ye have sworn. But keep to your oaths. Thus doth Allah make clear to you His signs, that ye may be grateful." 589

                              This verse clearly gives people an ability to atone for breaking their oaths, which is great. The price is feeding 10 people, clothing 10 people, or giving a slave their freedom; these are very high prices. If you are unable to do this because of poverty then you can make it up with a lesser fast, but it is preferable to pay one of the first of the three high prices, and most everyone can afford to feed 10 people, even in the poorest villages I have lived in the Peruvian Andes I have witnessed that. Thus, I do not think these things can be compared as one is a command to fast during Ramadan (and God reminds us, "it is better for you if you fast, if you only knew&quot, while the other is an expiation for a broken oath, and this expiation (3 days of fasting) has been lessened extremely from the first three high prices to put ease on the one who is unable.

                              These are extreme cases and not the norm, while the Qur'an allows for these situations to occur, I do not think we should elevate disparate and less clear verses over clear verses.

                              We should all remember,

                              "He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book In it are verses basic or fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book others are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in knowledge say "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord" and none will grasp the Message except men of understanding." 37

                              Best regards and Salaam,

                                Peace clash,

                                No that is an assumption.

                                Here it is not stated i.e. one can feed 1 poor (whole duration) or 1,000,000 poor/day ...

                                2184 days of maddtin so who be among you illness of or on journey so count from days another and on the ones can afford it ransom sustenance poor ...

                                Here exactly stated for offense breaking an oath ...

                                589 ... so reparation its provide sustenance tentet (ten group) poor from of moderate/middle what thou feeding families yours or clothe them or liberate neck (i.e. slave) so who not find so fast/abstinence trio days ...

                                Here exactly stated for this offense...

                                584 so who not find so fast/abstinence shahrayni/lunar cycles two successive two from before that touch dual so who not is able so provide sustenance sixty poor of

                                Hence no correlation.

                                SHAHR in 936 is only a 1-night FULL MOON.

                                Peace brook -- still have to "skip count" 13th full moon...

                                  I am not sure I understand your response Noon. What is your argument exactly?

                                  Obviously everyone can choose to follow what they want, but from the previous conversations I have had here for years including those over the past week or so I cannot say I have seen stronger evidence against fasting the month than I have seen evidence for fasting the month; thus, I will fast insha'Allah. To each their own.

                                  Ramadan Mubarak/Kareem everyone, however you may be celebrating it!

                                  Salaam,

                                    Those are different circumstances/amounts; read/calculate carefully.

                                    10 poor = 3 days fast or 3.33 poor persons/day not 1 person/day!

                                      The main question is this you awake alone on remote island or middle of desert.

                                      Without knowing the date/year and no one to help -- which month is Ramadan?

                                      Similar to sleepers awakening in the cave...

                                      1811 so strike we of on ears theirs in the cave years number of 1812 furthermore raised we them to know/make evident which the parties two calculates they to what stays they duration of

                                      These are plausible solutions...

                                      1. count 12 full moons after two equinoxes when day and night are equal length; skip occasional 13th

                                      2. count 12 full moons after winter solstice shortest day or summer longest day; skip occasional 13th

                                      3. Ramadan always first new month after full moon of summer solstice
                                        i.e. count 12 full moons skip occasional 13th as shown with perf 558

                                      new # full moon year

                                        1. Ramadan always first new month after full moon of summer solstice

                                        Yes, this is the very truth.

                                        05 Jul?

                                        The crescent of 05 June is full moon on 19 June
                                        which rises before the longest daytime (June 21),
                                        so it does not belong to the real shahr ramadan.

                                        The crescents, quarter moons, gibbouses, full moons?
                                        which Allah ordained (3639) on the day He created the skies and the earth (936)
                                        rise only in their fixed seasons of the solar year.

                                        Shahr ramadan/hot moon
                                        rises in hot summer,
                                        it never rises in cold winter.

                                        As I tried to explain before,
                                        man can never postpone the 13th moon IN THE SKY because his hands can never reach there.
                                        But they managed to do that ON PAPER which is falsely called islamic calendar

                                          Salamu alaykum Noon,

                                          Ok I see your conundrum now. However, if you wake up on a deserted island with no one that knows about Ramadan, then how would you know about the Qur'an in the first place to even care one way or the other?

                                          Again, I think some of us are reading too much into this. Remember some verses are clear and some are allegorical, don't take the allegorical verses over the clear ones is my advice.

                                          As far as 2183-4 and 584 go, I guess we will have to agree to disagree on interpretations here Noon, as it seems clear to me that the expiation for not fasting one day is feeding one poor person.

                                          Best regards and Salaam,

                                          Clash.
