    Does it say in the Quran that you can eat after sunset, until sunrise during your "fast"?

    It says eat at night untill the break of dawn/ the first light...

    Personally, I dont break my fast at sunset ( for it is still light at sunset and also sunset is the time for evening prayer not eating) for I fear of breaking the fast early, but I break it when it is completely dark/ when I can see a planet or star in the sky. This way I know that I broke my fast at " night" and not at twilight or early, ect...

    night = the period from sunset to dawn esp. the dark hours...

    peace

      Peace Anthony,

      You are making great progress.

      2185 The Quran was sent down in the hottest month, to guide the people and to clarify the guidance and the Difference between Right and Wronge. So one should fast the month, whoever of you witnesses it. And whoever from among you is ill or traveling; then finish on other days.
      God wants to bring you ease and not to bring you hardship; and so that you may complete the term, and glorify God for what He has guided you, that you may be thankful.
      What yall think?

      Now compare your translation with 971 which says that the great reading was sent down in the night of measure

      1. We have sent it down in the night of measure.

      Now there is a contradiction between your translation of 2185 and what 971 is saying.

      Most people brush off this contradiction and instead continue to have faith in their traditions and their completely arbitrary and meaningless so-called Ramadan month. Instead, they should realize that there is an error in how 2185 is translated. Looking at Classical Arabic dictionaries, one can see that the original meaning of the word "shahr" is "full-moon" and this meaning fits perfectly in all the occurences of the word "shahr" in the great reading. So now we know that 2185 is talking about an event that can be witnessed and not a vague month with a meaningless name. The "red hot full-moon" is a well known cosmic event that is the first full-moon after the summer solstice (see my avatar). It is the easiest cosmic phenomenon to witness in the entire year in the entire night sky anywhere around the world.

      Peace,

      Ayman

          2187 It has been made lawful for you during the night of fasting to approach your women sexually. They are a garment for you and you are a garment for them. God knows that you used to betray your souls so He has accepted your repentance, and forgiven you; now you may approach them and seek what God has written for you. And you may eat and drink until the white thread is distinct from the black thread of dawn; then you shall complete the fast until night; and do not approach them while you are devoted in the temples. These are God?s boundaries, so do not transgress them. It is thus that God makes His revelations clear to the people that they may be righteous.

            "RMDh" = "extreme/intense/blazing heat; scorching heat"

            Peace.

            Peace

            NO....NO nope.....NO brickwall......... tempt

            LET GOD TELL US
            Extreme and intense Heat is

            Part of 9-81 (&#65279

            Those who were left behind rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the Messenger of Allah they hated to strive and fight with their goods and their persons, in the Cause of Allah they said "Go not forth in the heat. Say "The fire of Hell is fiercer in heat." If only they could understand! (9-81)

            Why God did not use the Word Ramadan Instead of "Har" or "Al-Har"? brickwall

            (&#65279
            Nor are the (chilly) shade and the extreme heat of the sun (35-21)

            Why again God ignored the use of Rammadan instead of "Harror" brickwall

            (&#65279

            It is Allah who made out of the things He created, some things to give you shade; of the hills He made some for your shelter; He made you garments to protect you from heat, and coats of mail to protect you from your (mutual) violence. Thus does He complete his favours on you, that ye may surrender to His will (in Islam). (16-81)

            Heat is "Har" and never the Word Rammadan. yes

            (&#65279
            Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; (92-14)

            (&#65279
            By no means! For it would be the blazing Heat of Hell! (70-15)

            NOW, Where is Your and Ayman and every body who claim Rammadan to mean Heat, proof FROM QURAN. OTHERWISE, you are Misleading People From the TRue Meaning of Quranic Words.

              Salaaman Anthony,

              I am also on the same boat brother... yes

              It says eat at night untill the break of dawn/ the first light...

              Personally, I dont break my fast at sunset ( for it is still light at sunset and also sunset is the time for evening prayer not eating) for I fear of breaking the fast early, but I break it when it is completely dark/ when I can see a planet or star in the sky.

              night = the period from sunset to dawn esp. the dark hours...

              peace

              Layl has been described in detail in AlQuraan as in
              106 (night and day are mukhtalif),
              1712 (very clear definition of Layl and Nahaar),
              3637 (another very clear definition of Layl)

              But unfortunately, most of the people break their fast near to end. I think this has been planned and spread in Muslims to make their fast void. And they follow.

              May Allah guide us all towards the correct path.

              mmKhan

                How do you translate "ALSHSHAHRU ALHARAMU BIALSHSHAHRI ALHARAMI waalhurumatu qisasun famani iAAtada AAalaykum faiAAtadoo AAalayhi bimithli ma iAAtada AAalaykum waittaqoo Allaha waiAAlamoo anna Allaha maAAa almuttaqeena" 2194

                      I dont mean to get off topic or nuthin but I have a ? and would like to know what yall think and also for us not to get off topic either...

                      But to help me wit this translation

                      O.k. we will use the word " month/ lets say 30 days"

                      what if a person fast for lets say 15 days and then on the 16th day he gets sick or something were he has to break the fast or he broke the fast unintentionaly ect... Do you think that he would have to only make up for that 1 day missed in another month or would he have to start the whole fast over beginng with the next month and then complete that whole month in order to complete a full term?

                      what i am seeing cant really put it in words without probly adding something ect... its like fast the whole month of Rahmadan, but if ill then fast the whole month of sawall ect...

                      or is it just make up for the days u missed in the other months...

                        Yes, it is; either by fasting the same days that you breakfast or by feeding Poor people.

                            It would translate as follow
                            by Counting (fa-3edat) from (min) days (Iyam) Later (Okar).

                            Which means count the days that you missed fasting, and then make it up Later by fasting the same number of days you missed.

                            Peace

                                I'm not completely sure if "shahr" refers to the full moon itself - I haven't completely finished researching the issue

                                Peace,

                                I too have started researching this issue.

                                4615...and the weaning of him is thirty (30) months, till when he attains full strength and reaches forty years...

                                The correlation between months and years above is clear.

                                Referencing "ramadhan" as it's own "month" isn't based on the reading, especially considering the fact that we have no evidence that there was a month named "Ramadhan" during Mohammed's lifetime.

                                "RMDh" = "extreme/intense/blazing heat; scorching heat"

                                Then what was the name of the month; shall we call it -- August?

                                au?gust (? gust&#8242
                                adjective

                                1. inspiring awe and reverence; imposing and magnificent
                                2. worthy of respect because of age and dignity, high position, etc.; venerable

                                "shahru ramadhan" is not a "month", and nowhere in al-Qur'an does it say to fast for a "whole month".

                                492...so who does not find, so fasting two months following each other

                                Therefore, fast a ?whole month? then fast another ?whole month? is in Quran.
                                .
                                Peace

                                      492...so who does not find, so fasting two months following each other

                                      Therefore, fast a ?whole month? then fast another ?whole month? is in Quran.

                                      Peace

                                      I was talking about during "shahru ramadhan", not during other periods.

                                      If you base the meaning of "shahr" as "month", there not enough information in al-Qur'an to determine exactly when this month begins, exactly how long it lasts, and what are the signs to signify the exact dates. We're not talking about generally fasting/abstaining, we're talking about "shahru ramadhan".

                                      Peace.

                                        I think it is better to say we have not reached upto the correct aayat or we have not yet clarified that part by Allah.
                                        Because AlQuraan is a complete book with details.

                                        Regards,

                                          Hello

                                          It is clarified if you translate shahru and ramadhan correctly.

                                          Paix.
