    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,

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

                concerning the solar year
                or the lunar year or the luni-solar year

                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,

                          Peace clash, it's simple this statement below is not true...

                          "The reason we get one day of not fasting=feeding one poor person during Ramadan is because of verses 2183-4"

                          Cannot use 584 & 589 to justify 2184 means feed 1 poor = 1 day

                          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

                              Peace, Noon.

                              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.

                                  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?

                                  peace clash,

                                  not my conundrum; again see cave example or let's place you along with other imams or 1,000 "scholars" whoever in a deep sleep/comma then awake you on some remote island or in middle of desert; we can give you any hadith books along with Qu'ran, etc. not tell you date/year or tell you wrong date/year ask you et al which month is ramadan? They'll all be clueless!

                                  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.

                                  nothing allegorical about clear verses and again you made an assumption "feed one poor per day" is not stated.

                                      An ultimatum from Allah and his messenger
                                      to the polytheists
                                      with whom you have made a treaty (91)

                                      "Travel freely in the land FOUR MOONS." (92).

                                      The ultimatum was declared
                                      on the day when the believers entered Mecca to take their town back from the polytheists,
                                      that is, June 16 of 630?s shahr ramadan.

                                      New moon? full moon
                                      June 16???June 30

                                      http//astropixels.com/ephemeris/phasescat/phases0601.html

                                      The reason why
                                      the conqurers had to concede to a treaty of ceasefire
                                      was this

                                      It was rather a short time before Mecca?s traditional feast days-hijaj (2827),
                                      so the sellers had started to prepare their stalls and early comers were everywhere.
                                      If the ceasefire were denied,
                                      they might have been unwittingly trampled upon (4825).

                                      And on the day of the great pilgrimage
                                      an announcement to the people from Allah and his mesenger
                                      "If you repent, it is best for you?" (93).

                                      That was Dhul Hijjah,
                                      second of the FOUR MOONS mentioned in 92,
                                      and it was the time to perform the religious rites called hajj,
                                      pilgrimage.

                                      Mecca?s commercial feasts and pilgrimage
                                      were simultaneous,
                                      and they happened at the same area.

                                      However,
                                      you could not perform pilgrimage
                                      during Dhul Hijjah (2196)

                                      When the FORBIDDEN moons have passed
                                      kill the polytheists wherever you find them
                                      (95).

                                      The FOUR MOONS are over,
                                      so kill them
                                      or they will kill you.

                                      When you meet the polythesits,
                                      strike the necks until you overcome them.
                                      Then tie them fast (474).

                                      To sum up

                                      1
                                      The four forbidden months are successive,
                                      They are not
                                      3 together and 1? months apart.

                                      2
                                      In the forbiddend moons
                                      it is forbidden
                                      to shed blood, hunting wild animals included (51-2, 595).

                                      3
                                      Of the 4 forbidden moons
                                      the first is Shahr Ramadan, hot moon
                                      the scond is Dhul Hijjah, hajj moon.

                                          The four forbidden months are successive,
                                          They are not
                                          3 together and 1? months apart.

                                          Peace brook, yes there's an obvious difference between quartet (i.e. 4 group/together) and four (the number 4)...

                                          92 so move about in the land quartet (i.e. group/together) ashhurin/lunar cycles and know ye of indeed you other than escape the god and that the god shames the skeptics

                                          246 and the ones accusing spouses theirs and not that be for them witnesses except souls theirs so affirmation one of them four (4) affirmations in/by the god indeed he surely from the truthful

                                          248 and it prevents upon her the punishment that she witness four (4) affirmations in/by the god that he to from the liars
