    With respects to Br. Ayman,

    How can you say leave the count of a moon out? I am sure we can come up with a better system then this counting of moons.

    There isn't any such a system in the quran, and to say this is from God Almighty is utterely wrong.

    For that matter there arn't any moons in the quran - to my knowledge at all.

    My advice Please, Please see what else the word for a moon means in the lanes or some other dictionary.

    God Bless All.
    peace

    Cheers,

    So what do you think the calendar should be and if it's purely solar what is point of the moon cycles.

    Peace,

    Rami

      No calendar in the quran , as there arn't any hours,days,months they don't make you any more or less righteous.

      The quran is about evilness and righteousness as far as i know.

      So follow which ever calender suits you best- now a days i think we use the atomic clock for time keeping and a calender based on the solar system or something,isn't it? does it matter?

      peace

        Peace Simple,

        Well then please propose a better and more natural timing system that is independent of culture and level of technology.

        Peace,

        Ayman

          i'm using solar calendar myself, but i could not clear my mind for this ayath

          105 He is the One who made the sun an illuminator, and the moon a light, and He measured its phases so that you would know the number of the years
          and the calculation. God has not created this except for truth. He details the signs for a people who know.

          what do you think of it?

            That the moon should be used. There is a rock in the sky that go through phases for timing. Thats it. The moon is all about timing. People who are possessed by the seasons will pursue the Sun. Why is it that God made the moon's 12 cycles shorter than the solar year by eleven days? I can't figure the reason till this day.

              What on earth is wrong with the one that is in use the world over?

              Of course in places where it may not be apropriate - i am sure other system will emerge.

              peace

                I didn't say that there is anything wrong with it (apart from it being largely arbitrary). You are the one who said that you can come up with a better system than counting 12 full moons in a solar year and skipping the occasional 13th moon. If you can't come up with a better system then your original statement was not accurate.

                Peace,

                Ayman

                    Sorry Br.Ayman,

                    I meant why not use the far superior systems already established , rather then using a hindu system which isn't even part of the quran-which people take it to be.
                    peace

                      How is the already established arbitrary Roman system "far superior"? What is so special or universal about an arbitrary month called February? If you went into a coma and woke up, can you figure out on your own that it is now February 18, even if you had a calendar?

                      Peace,

                      Ayman
