[unknownuser]

Salaams,
There is a debate going on in the other section about shahr,but lets see what it can be,is it just a month?

Lanes gives example on the possible uses.

Shohera bekazaa = He was rendered ,became,for such a thing.
Shahara saifahu = He drew his sword from the scabbard or he drew his sword and raised it over the people.
Raaito Alshahr = I saw the new moon of the month.
Ashahr Alswabee = The child became a month old or a month passed over the child.

Ashaharo =more and most apparent , menifest,notorious.

I looked up the word "shahr" in the dictionary (Lisan Al-3arab) and it doesn't seem to mean "month", "30 consecutive days", or "30 intermittent days". The primary meaning is "something obvious", "something public", and "something wide". It is also reported in the dictionary that the Arabs used to call the moon "shahr". In modern Arabic, someone "mashhur" is a public celebri

and now the perfect example which is a case applicable to most of the quranic words - beleive it.

In english the word RIGHT as you now can mean a number of things but obviously the words it apears with in a sentance(or the context) gives the real meaning -what it means with respect to the sentance its being used in.

Lets see

Right now or
Turn right or
your Right.

And this is the example to me for how we should look to words(as shahr)in the context where it is accuring in the ayats.

I just hope it helps even just a little.
