    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

      Peace, Noon.

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

      Yes, this is the very truth.

      false crescent???..hot crescent/full moon
      16 June 2015???..16 June 2015/30 June
      05 June 2016???..05 July 2016/19 July
      26 May 2017???..23 June 2017/07 July
      16 May 2018??.?12 June 2018/27 June
      05 May 2019..?.?.01 July 2019/16 July

      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.

          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.

                  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

                  936 indeed iddata/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 (group) urumun/prohibit

                  244 and the ones accusing the guarded (f/p) furthermore not comes they of with quartet (group) witnesses

                  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

                    Salamu Alaykum Farati,

                    Don't let people get you confused. Ramadan is very clear, 30 days of fasting, dawn to dusk starting on Friday night 5/26 where I live insha'Allah this year of 2017. Fast with all of us! Do not be afraid. Once you fast a number of times you will see why this challenge is so good for all of us. Fasting will decrease the speed of your metabolism, which will allow you to eat less and use what you eat more efficiently throughout the year.

                    Decreasing the speed of your metabolism is not a good thing at all. It is a major cause of excess fat weight and loss of muscle tissue. Granted, we have to admit that fasting has its physiological importance in short term. But on a long term, diminishing returns set in. This is because long-term fasting can either result in significant decrease or increase in calorie ingested, two paths to increase body fat storage and weight gain.

                      Completely disagree Neptim. A slow metabolism is great, as long as you do not eat too much. Really Ramadan in a sense trains you to not be such an over-consumer, as many people are today. It is a true blessing from God that he has given us this month to fast; I truly suggest you all fast it as prescribed.

                      "To manage your weight with a slow metabolism, you must lower your calorie intake. This could be beneficial, however. Calorie restriction can slow the aging process, help prevent diabetes, abdominal obesity, hypertension and cardiovascular disease and reduce your risk of certain cancers, according to the Federation of European Biochemical Societies" http//healthyeating.sfgate.com/advantages-slow-metabolism-9657.html

                      "Thyroid hormone plays a big role in regulating your metabolism and energy expenditure, and low levels of thyroid hormones correlate with a slow metabolism. A study published in a 2010 edition of "The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism" found that low thyroid activity correlates with an increased life expectancy. This could be due to the fact that with a faster metabolism, the body must work harder, putting it under more stress, notes obesity expert Dr. Joel Fuhrman." http//healthyeating.sfgate.com/advantages-slow-metabolism-9657.html

                      God is helping you live longer by completing the month of fasting for Ramadan, that is why he says "Fasting is better for, if you only knew".

                      Best regards and Salaam,

                        peace all,

                        The ONLY reasons given in Quran for sawm/abstinence is that it may develop tawqa/conscientiousness, so we may be thankful, and it was decreed for those before us.

                        Quran says nothing about its health benefits, if any.

                        All information is correct to the best of my knowledge only and thus should not be taken as a fact. One should always seek knowledge and verify for themselves when possible: 17:36, 20:114, 35:28, 49:6, 58:11.
