Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings
Dear Brothers, I offer you in this thread a software that calculates and display the Arab - Hijri calendar with the patch "Nasii" by using the account of lunar and solar cycles, to suit Arabs months with the seasons of the year, but returns to sacred months logical reason the prohibition on hunting land ...
I have relied on the accounts of NASA that allows to know times of the emergence of new moons in hours and minutes since 1999 BC to 4000 AD in Gregorian calendar and I compared it with the beginning of the Arab months even managed Thankfully get a percentage match of approximately 98%, and the percentage difference does not exceed one day and this is normal because lunar month is equal to 29.530588 day and process of calculating dates is based on months with number of days ranges between 29 and 30 days.
http//eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/phase/phasecat.html
The method of calculation is as follows
- The beginning of the new Arab - Hijri Calendar - AH is on January 18, 622 AD, because it is the day of moon conjunction according to NASA.
- Years are divided into sessions in each 19-year cycle called Metronic Cycle .
- Years 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 16 and 19 of each cycle, are leap years (13 months). - The rest are simple years contain 12 months.
- The Nasii is fourth month in all leap years.
- Numbering months is as follows
- Muharram
- Safar
- Rabii 1
- Nasii (in leap years)
- Rabii 2
- Jumada 1
- Jumada 2
- Rajab
- Shaaban
- Ramadan
- Chawwal
- Dhou Al-qi'da
- Dhou Al-Hijja

I leave you in God's care and wait for your remarks.

Hi dear,
Look with me
36 -
- The number of months in the sight of Allah is twelve - so ordained by Him the day He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are sacred that is the straight usage. So wrong not yourselves therein, and fight the Pagans all together as they fight you all together. But know that Allah is with those who restrain themselves.
According to The Qur'aan, there are only 12 months in one year and that?s true
1 Lunar year = 12 x Lunar months = 12 x 29.53 days = 354,36 days
1 Solar year = 365,25 days = 1 Lunar year + 10,89 days = 12 x Lunar months + 10,89 daysboth lunar and solar years have 12 lunar months, but in solar year, there is 10.89 days more.
Lunar and solar cycles are synchronized every 19 solar years(called Metronic Cycle), but 19 lunar years are less than a Metronic Cycle by 7 months.
To keep the lunar months in their seasons, we must insert 7 lunar months in 19 lunar years, these inserted months are called (Nasii), it's not really considered as a month but it is an extension of the previous month like the 29th day of February.
It is not logical to have the month ?Rabii 1? that mean spring in winter, or the four sacred months out of season of animal breeding, or the month of Ramadan in summer, in Siberia day is over 22h!.
37 -
- Verily the Nasii is an addition to Unbelief the Unbelievers are led to wrong thereby for they make it sacred one year, and unsacred another year, in order to decrease the number of months sacred by Allah and make such unsacred ones sacred. The evil of their course seems pleasing to them. But Allah guideth not those who reject Faith.
In the verse above, the act of Unbelief is due to the cancellation of the month Nasii " " to make it unsacred when it is applied.

Dear M-Amine,
If ALLAAH, swt, Has ordained a year to be 12 month in length, and considers the "Nasii" to be excess in disbelief, then how do you explain the 13-month years in your post?
Peace,
KhalilDear Khalil,
Hello,
Allah swt has never ordered that the year must be 12 months, he informed us that the system we live in is set at 12 months.
He also created the difference between the solar year and the lunar year to push us to study maths (Calculation).
Check out this verse
It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases - that you may know the number of years and calculation. Allah has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know
For Nasii I already tell you that this is not the fact of using Nasii that addition to Unbelief but its removal.

The highlights above are from me.
Dear A-Amine,
According to The Qur'aan, 936, ISLAMIC calendar year must consist of only TWELVE Lunar months all the time with no inclusion of any "leap" year at all.
Paying a bit more attention to 937, it tells us that including the "Nasii" in the calendar year, is excess in disbelief, NOT removing it.
The verse 105 you have used above, actually informs us that our ISLAMIC calendar calculations MUST be based on the LUNAR calendar year, not Solar.
Peace,
Khalil -
Hi Khalil,
Where do have read in Qur'an, that year MUST be LUNAR?
And where is calculation in our actual purly lunar calendar?
Our actual calendar, is unusable in business and administration!
Peace
1st Just pay a little bit more attention to 105 below.
I've highlighted the masculine pronoun that has been used. This goes back to the Moon which is a masculine noun in Arabic language. It cannot refer to the Sun because the Sun is a feminine noun.
2nd The calculation of years, months, and other events like Hajj and fasting of Ramadzaan, and the HARAAM/SACRED months must be based on ISLAMIC LUNAR calendar, not anything else.
3rd Your are concerned about "business" and "administration" and what not! In that regard you should congratulate the "Islamic" and "Muslim" communities for their historical backwardness. Islam ruled the whole civilized world for over one thousand years and all BUSINESS and ADMINISTRATION was run according to ISLAMIC LAWS. This is all because we got farther and farther away from The Qur'aan and started following you know who.

And the Messenger will say "O my Lord! Verily, my people deserted this Qur'an (neither listened to it, nor acted on its laws and teachings).Dear Khalil,
According to the Qur?an, Alhajj is some months 2 197
The Pilgrimage is (in) months well-known; so, whoever ordains (upon himself) the Pilgrimage in them, then there shall be no lying with (womenfolk), nor evident immorality, nor disputing in the Pilgrimage. And whatever charity you perform, Allah knows it. And sustain yourselves; so, the most charitable sustenance is piety; and be pious to Me, O (you) endowed with intellects!
According to hadith, Alhajj is only some days ? ?
According to Qur?an, the punishment of adultery is a hundred stripes 24 2
The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
According to hadith, the punishment of adultery is lapidation.
According to Qur?an, every one is free to choose his religion 2 256
There is no compulsion in the religion; right-mindedness has already been evidently (distinct) from misguidance. So whoever disbelieves in the Taghut (i.e. false gods, idols, devils and seducers) and believes in Allah, then he has already upheld fast the most binding Grip, with no disjunction (ever); and Allah is Ever-Hearing, Ever-Knowing.
According to hadith, punishment of apostasy is the death penalty.
So actual muslims refer to HADITH and IGNORE Qur?an, for this reason, the prophet will says, the day of judgment
And the Messenger has said, "O my Lord, indeed my people have taken this Qur'an as abandoned."
It?s clear for you now ?

Look those verse
6 96
He is the Cleaver of the Daybreak, and He hath appointed the night for stillness, and the sun and the moon for reckoning. That is the measuring of the Mighty, the Wise.
God tell us in this verse that he created the SUN and MOON for reckoning (Calculation). So we must use both of them.
MOON Rotation determine the month.
EARTH Rotation determine the year (4 seasons).
SUN Rotation Synchronize MOON and EARTH rotations each 19 years.18 25
And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine.
A simple calculation proof that year in Qur?an is ? SOLAR year
1 Solar Year = 365,25 days
1 Lunar Year = 354,34 days300 x 365.25 = 109575
309 x 354,34 = 109491,06So 300 Solar Years is approximately Equal to 309 Lunar Years, the 9 exceeding years are in reality the number of months inserted to synchronize Lunar with Solar Year.
Look
In 300 years, there are about 15,7 Metronic Cycle.
300 / 19 = 15,7
In each Metronic Cycle, we must insert 7 month, so total months is
15,7 * 7 = 109,9
If we divide total months by 12, we have the number of lunar year
109,9 / 12 = 9,083333333333333
So when ALLAH swt tell ? ? (And they remained in their cave for three hundred years) he mean Solar years.
3rd Your are concerned about "business" and "administration" and what not! In that regard you should congratulate the "Islamic" and "Muslim" communities for their historical backwardness.

Yes totally agree with you, but that was before they summarize the science in the study of hadith and before they totally ignore the math.
If I ask you, what is your date of birth? What do you say?

Dear Noon waalqalami,
On approximations, know that the Qur'an is not a book that is here to teach us how to make airplanes and satellites.
It is there to guide us in life and show us the right way so that people can live in peace and prosper economically and scientifically ...
So it is for us to follow this path and try to learn.
Now come with me to see what Allah (swt) says in Sura ALKAHF
18 11-12-13
So We cast over their ears within the cave for a number of years.
Then We roused them, in order to test which of the two parties was best at calculating the term of years they had tarried!
It is We who relate to you, , their story in truth. Indeed, they were youths who believed in their Lord, and We increased them in guidance.In these verses (11,12), ALLAH swt says that he has awakened them, in order to test which of the two parties was best at calculating the term of years they had tarried!
Then (13) he told his prophet, he will recite to him their true history.
18 19
And similarly, We awakened them that they might question one another. Said a speaker from among them, "How long have you remained ?" They said, "We have remained a day or part of a day." They said, "Your Lord is most knowing of how long you remained. So send one of you with this silver coin of yours to the city and let him look to which is the best of food and bring you provision from it and let him be cautious. And let no one be aware of you.
Later in verse 19, Allah (swt) said to his prophet, that even the ? Ash?ab ALKAHF ? did not know how long they are left and they said that only Allah (swt) know.
18 25-26-27
And they remained in their cave for three hundred years and exceeded by nine.
Say, " Allah is most knowing of how long they remained. He has the unseen of the heavens and the earth. How Seeing is He and how Hearing! They have not besides Him any protector, and He shares not His legislation with anyone."
And recite, , what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord. There is no changer of His words, and never will you find in other than Him a refuge.Then in verse 25, Allah (swt) informs the prophet of the true time they spent in their cave, and as Allah (swt) is very accurate, he said the time in numbers of solar and lunar years, and calculations show that.
Finally (26) he said him to say, Allah is most knowing of how long they remained.The Qur?an is not a simple text that can sing in mourning or opportunities, this is a book that should be read and understood.
47 24
Do they not then earnestly seek to understand the Qur'an, or are their hearts locked up by them?

And no, this is not a new hadeeth it's simply the great Qur'an!
Peace
The Qur'aan is direct,straightforward, and very clear on the subject.
1st The number of months in ISLAMIC calendar-year is always TWELVE.
2nd believing-in and including the Nasii in the ISLAMIC calendar-year is EXCESS IN DISBELIEF.
And again, pay attention to the verses 936 & 937 below.
936
Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them four are Sacred. That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein, and fight against the polytheists, collectively as they fight against you collectively. But know that Allah is with those who are Al-Muttaqun (the pious).
937
The Nasii/ postponing (of Sacred Months) is indeed an increase in disbelief thereby the disbelievers are led astray, for they make it lawful one year and forbid it another year in order to adjust the number of months forbidden by Allah, and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their deeds is made fair-seeming to them. And Allah guides not the people who disbelieve.Peace,

Hello,
Where have you seen in the verse 936 that one year is 12 lunar month?
And why "Nasii" is an excess of disbelief in the verse 937?Peace
You can find the answer to your first question in verse 1825 below.
And they remained in their cave three hundred years and add nine.
Adding NINE to the initial thee hundred years informs us that the Muslims were using LUNAR calendar. Otherwise, it was not necessary to tell them about the addition of nine years to the three hundred SOLAR years.
As for your second question. Up until the revelation of surah 9, especially 936 and 937, the disbelievers, for their mere economical interests, used to move the number of sacred months around year to year as it pleased their interests, disregarding the socioeconomics of the society as a whole. Revelation of 936 and 937 put an end to this corruption, by restricting the number of months to TWELVE and by forbidding the Nasii.

I think I misspoke.
I know that "" mean counted.
I meant that in this verse "" is as "" which is called in Arabic grammar " " which is used to define two things that share the same capacity, but some is better than the other.

That only works within one year; example fall asleep in winter and awake in summer not for many years.
If I fall into a coma in August 20, 2013 (summer) and I wake in August 20, 2113, one hundred solar years later, I'll be in summer so no difference.
This is not true with purely lunar year as we do.
No worries your English is fine and all above are inaccurate except for Dr. Ghali.
Three parts to the word in question?
http//corpus.quran.com/wordimage?id=37934And ? Increased ? They
Thus we have to translate close to Arabic as possible which 1825 they?re asking question and making assumption.
1825 and remained they in cave theirs three hundred snyn/seasons and increase they nine of
The answer to the above assumptive question is given thus...
1826 say the god of knowledge in what remained they to him unseen the heavens and the earth...
This is not true. "" mean "years are increased" and not "Ashab Alkahf had nine more years."
In this verse, the years have been cited in the plural "" therefore "" is linked to years "" not "".
If the verse was so " " your reading is correct but the opposite is true.
This is a bit off topic different subject and same reason one cannot eat swine flesh -- it's a commandment.
No, it is an important subject, without lunisolar calendar we can not respect the sacred months nor the true month of Ramadan or the month of Hajj ...

You can find the answer to your first question in verse 1825 below.
And they remained in their cave three hundred years and add nine.
Adding NINE to the initial thee hundred years informs us that the Muslims were using LUNAR calendar. Otherwise, it was not necessary to tell them about the addition of nine years to the three hundred SOLAR years.
As for your second question. Up until the revelation of surah 9, especially 936 and 937, the disbelievers, for their mere economical interests, used to move the number of sacred months around year to year as it pleased their interests, disregarding the socioeconomics of the society as a whole. Revelation of 936 and 937 put an end to this corruption, by restricting the number of months to TWELVE and by forbidding the Nasii.
Peace,
KhalilNo, it proves that the Muslims used the calculations they inserted after every 32 months a full lunar month to keep synchronization with the seasons (winter, spring, summer, fall).
It is not logical to have a month called "RABII 1" or "RABII 2" which mean SPRING in September or November!!
And the verse does not prohibit the use of "Nasii" he tells us that the removal of "Nasii" to decrease the number of sacred months " " is an excess of disbelief.
