          Ayman Sister, this is very enlightening. With your permission, I would like to incorporate your thoughtful and excellent observations in the article.
          1 night of destiny/night of the abstinence/night of the full moon of scorching heat + 10 nights = 11 (odd) nights = 10 (even) days of abstinence

          It makes perfect sense. Merci Beaucoup. bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo bravo

          For full entertainmen you can now go to page 3 it's easy so just go to first page and then to page three. I just realisesd its on page 3 laugh rotfl

          You really lost your nerves when you protest why I am not answering a question which is on a later post of yours, not the one I was responding to.
          My post was answering yours paragraph by paragraph. If you think it was going into circles, look at yourself, not at me.
          You are the one who is need of a deep breath... and some manners.

          Ok I have taken a deep breath now can you please give me your view about the plight of the blind in your "shahr ramadan please".

                Peace,
                for those of you who are fasting, aren't you supposed not to argue while fasting?
                anyways, for those quoting hadith, you are wasting your time on me,
                Ayman is far from being a genius, but his understanding of the fast as decreed
                in the Qur'an is spot on, and I invite you to follow it from next year, Allah willing,
                if you wish to maximise your rewards.

                Ayman, please do not be too impulsive in making comments, as I have followed you since 2003, and several
                times you make pronouncements before they are fully clear in your head, this confuses matters with peeps.
                You have been blessed these times with ramadan, the hajj, so glory be to Allah, and let us thank him for those
                insights.
                Your insights in the Jinns are completely off the mark, unless you have changed your pop psychology interpretation,
                and if I were to judge you on that alone, I would not accept anything from you, but we need to be mature enough that
                in Ijtihad we will make mistakes, but we ought to be big and wise enough and humble enough to recognise that we made one.
                I am also curious as how you read the Quran, and do you also take into account of signs that Allah sends along the way.
                We do dismiss the signs we get when asleep, while at those times our soul goes back to our Maker, and gets re-programed
                in some sorts of way, Joseph was endowed with the ability to read the programing whereas I suppose for us, it is subliminal,
                and everyday, we wake up we get taken over by the day to day reality, and choose to over-ride "valuable" instincts that Allah
                every single night re-instills in us while we sleep...
                (For a flavour of this, -though in a psychological/psychiatric contest- you can refer to Human Givens - Joe Griffin & Ivan Tyrrell as a start up) - it is really fascinating...

                  If you listen to Urdu radio service in Ramadan then you would hear about Akhri 3shra ie last ten days of the month and of course the night of power.
                  3shra is divided into three sections. The first ten days of the moon cycle is awasl 3shra, then comes the middle 3shra and then final 3shra.(Akhri 3shra )

                  So 3shra is not an object call moon but the whole moon cycle from crescent to crescent.
                  Salaam

                    BUT..... , 936 talks about counting twelve full-moons, ( not months) , in GOD'S RECORD (Different from 12.3 that you actually count). so we should count EXACTLY twelve full moons (not months ) to fullfil this commandement .

                    Peace
                    And that is what I and the believers are counting 12 Moon Cycles, as we are instructed by our Lord...

                    Eventually we'll have to skip the occasional 13 th full moon (again not month) to acknowledge the God's will, and to keep in sync with that (natural) solar year , and hence the result is
                    1 - Ramadan will always occur at the same "hot" time of the year, and will not drift away and all around.
                    2- The restricted full moons ( i think you got it now that it cannot be months) will always be consecutive and will always sync with the mating season of the wild life.
                    3- Hajj will always be in the same period of the year (ie. the harvest, in order to witness the benefits of Allah and remember and thank Him) and will always be between early summer and early fall, (yes , GOd Allowed us to do the hajj whenever one wants within the 4 restricted full-moons (you know what bravo) . Moreover i think that's why fighting is not allowed in this periode (harvest) to let people gather their food. and it will be unfair to attack people while they are harvesting.

                    And that is what I and the believers do not follow, because we know that our Lord did not Instruct us to do so...and from debating and reading the different comments in this thread, non have provided such instruction from Quran.

                    Therefore, you have your deen and we will have ours, and God will be the Judge in the Day were every one will be Judged.

                      My mother Allah bless her soul, used to tell me that Layaltul Qadr was a very short night in the year,
                      this was from oral tradition from bedouin tribes in the sahara desert, and so even though this does
                      not constitute a proof, for me it nevertheless constitutes a sign that it has to be in summer.
                      Jazakumallah khairan

                      Salaam brother,

                      And your sister Farida is also saying the same, NOT about fasting but that Leilat Al Qadr is linked to hot weather, as the Quran was revealed, on that night, in the phase of the cycle where that night falls in the month of hot weather(in Jerusalem).

                      However for fasting?whoever of you witnesses the month/moon, then let him fast therein?; ? this section is about the month/moon that comes once in every 12 moon cycles.(like a birth month) leading you back to the original event the revelation of the Qur?an.

                      for this piece of valuable ijtihad, and I am so convinced that I will start enjoining those who ask to fast this way.

                      You are now going to enjoy ijtihad, Ayman cooked along with his team. eat

                      Brother I will soon be posting the Grand picture so do read it word by word please and then give your valuable advice.

                      God bless

                      Peace,
                      I am also curious as how you read the Quran, and do you also take into account of signs that Allah sends along the way.
                      We do dismiss the signs we get when asleep, while at those times our soul goes back to our Maker, and gets re-programed

                      'Recitation of the Qur'an after the dawn prayers is witnessed' means that when you get your signs/guidance for the day and I firmly believe in those signs.
                      peace

                        You can see again that the organised and well oiled, but badly equipped with pdf files, Prince of Darkness is bidding on the hope that he can get away with his lies. nope that will never happen.

                                  Peace Ayman,

                                  No the point is that all your arguments are from ignorance. Even an illiterate knows the basics such as the difference between masculine (he/"huwa" and feminine pronouns (she/"hiya&quot and that they refer to masculine and feminine objects. You have not even reached that level. You are acting like a baby who is still learning "dada" and "mama" but doesn't know pronouns and frankly speaking I am not in the mood for babysitting so don't continue sliding this slippery slope and have the courage to admit that you were wrong otherwise you will lose whatever little credibility you still have and changing your screen name will not help.

                                  I have vowed i.e. made shahida to fast the month and to refrain my response.

                                  Using context, is walad -- boy/son (masculine) in 411 not applicable to girl/daughter (feminine)?

                                  There is no such thing as a 11 relation between feeding the poor and days of abstinence. You obviously never read 589 where feeding 10 poor equates to 3 days of fasting (i.e., 3.331). I guess we won't be hearing this nonsense from you again.

                                  Thanks I did not recollect that verse. Regardless, shahr is a lunar month fast dawn to sunset 60 days or feed 60 poor.

                                  How come we continue hear about the full moon illusion nonsense; are you too proud to admit a mistake after it was repeatedly shown the BIG RED FULL MOON a few days before the solstice makes the full moon 26-29 days after the solstice look as a baby?

                                  Is The Full Moon Illusion still applicable Ayman -- tell the truth?

                                  Both hu refer back to "the fasting that was dictated on you." This is because there are many types of abstinances. In this case, what was dictated on us is "the fasting of the complete count of a few days".

                                  "falyasum alssiyamu" -- that seems right to you?

                                  Salaam Samia,

                                  Back to your question In such a case I would personally say it refers to "shahr" since it's the nearest singular masculine to the pronoun.

                                  Thank you for your honest answer.

                                  2185 faman shahida minkumu alshshahra falyasumhu -- so he should fast it (i.e. ?alshshahra?)

                                    Here's an arabic one dhil al kalb 3omro ma yen3idil
                                    the tail of the Dog never gets straight.

                                    Yet he won't acceptt that Urdu for month moon is same as Arabic. yes

                                      Easy with the spooky apocalyptic language.

                                      We are not disputing the 12 lunar cycles.

                                      We are disputing the arbitrary Ramadan placement.

                                      Peace,

                                      It seems that most of God Creatures like to dispute with him, and therefore, the go astray.

                                      If we learn to listen to God When saying " I know what you do not know.? , and reply by saying "You are the Knowledgeable, the Wise", then we will be at ease with ourselves. But, instead, we argue and dispute.

                                      Trust God's wisdom and follow the Well-Established Verses that Instruct you to count 12 Months (Moon Cycles) when calculating a year--NO ADDING a MOON nor SUBTRACTING.

                                      Salaam belH
                                      Happy Ramadan! Good to see you on this thread again. Your valuable contributions, of last year, have proved a great resource. Jazakumallah khairan.

                                      You can see again that the organised and well oiled, but badly equipped with pdf files, Prince of Darkness is bidding on the hope that he can get away with his lies. nope that will never happen.
                                      peace

                                      So long Sister...I have not been contributing as I used to...But you and others are doing wonderful Job.
                                      May God increase your wisdom

                                        Peace Farida,

                                        This only proves that Guest and you suffer from hero-worship fetish. The same exact thing can be said about Christianity and its hero Paul
                                        Jesus as the son of god was established firmly by the Prophet Jesus during his stay with was (previous generation) which we still follow. You are making a false accusation that Paul invented that Jesus is the son of god without any valid evidence. Paul is the one who was a desciple with the Prophet and not you. My innermost thoughts tell me that he didn?t abandon Christianity religion like you suggest using the example ?he claimed that Jesus is the son of god?. Judging your logic from the contents of your posts, I would most certainly conclude it is you who we should be careful about. Suggesting such a drastic change during the time in question would be equivalent to asking for extreme punishment. Even a sane disbeliever wouldn?t dare do that
                                        If a much more drastic lie such as the one about Jesus can be invented, then the order of the months in an arbitrary calendar is the simplest thing to invent.
                                        Peace,

                                        Ayman

                                        Peace Ayman,

                                        If you take this "invention" to a court of law, the judge would simply throw your flawed reasoning out the window so please stop playing the judge and get yourself a good lawyer.

                                        peace

                                          Peace Ayman,

                                          Once again you ignore to read the very links that you provide

                                          1. Where does it say in PERF558 or the inscription that the year is AH? Can you copy and paste the transcription and underline the word "hijri"?

                                          What do you suppose the year 22 is referring to or is this the purpose of your question?

                                          http//www.google.com/#hl=en&q=Mickey+Dunce&aq=f&aqi=&oq=&fp=d9ca629f83f82f8a

                                          PERF 558 Contents
                                          In the name of the Merciful, Compassionate God. These are the animals for slaughtering that `Abd-Allah ibn Jabir and his companions took from Ihnas? we took from the representatives of Theodor,? the elder son of Abu Qir, and from the representative of istofor,? the younger son of Abu Qir, fifty sheep from the animals for slaughter and fifteen other sheep, which were butchered for the men on his ships, his cavalry and his infantry in the month Jumada I of the year Twenty-Two. The scribe was Ibn Hadid.??

                                          Grohmann worked out "30 Pharmouthi of the indiction year 1" to be 25th April, 643 A.D.
                                          The date fits with two of the most commonly available conversion tables those of Caetani and of Freeman-Grenville.?? They make the last day of Jumada I equate with 26th April, 643 A.D. Given the virtual inevitability of imprecisions of dating at the period, the fit is remarkably good.

                                          The above is confirmed by new moon data for that year?

                                          New Moon (start of new month crescent 2 days later)

                                          Are you seriously that clueless? Why do you think the next summer solstice happened 12 months later? What is the new moon crescent on July 16? Is it the first new moon crescent after the summer solstice? YES or NO.

                                          YES that was the moon cycle in those years and would be the same after summer solstice if they picked year 622, 623, or 624 two days after the summer solstice, nothing special...

                                          552CE (just 18 years before traditions claim the prophet was born)

                                          Month name Zu A'allan (notice also the word for ?month? is not ?shahr? but ?warkh?)

                                          Month name Kaslul.

                                          Month name Tammouz (notice also the word for ?month? is not ?shahr? but consistent with the 552CE inscription ?yarkh?)

                                          When did Abraha die after he put up that sign in Southern Arabia and are Zu A?allan, ?warkh? and Tammuz (Jewish) or ?yarkh? common Arabic words that were used throughout all of Arabia including the central and northern -- what language and dialect?

                                          No the dates of the lunar calendar get pushed back by 1 month every three years. If they picked the year of PERF558 as 1AH for starting a purely lunar calendar then the 22 years difference would result in Ramadhan coming 7 months later and it would have been in what is now the month of Rabii Al-Thani in the spring and Farida and you wouldn?t be so cranky.

                                          I am very calm and there is nothing to push back every three years; this has nothing with summer solstice and our friend would have simply written year 1 and the months would continue without change...

                                          Salaam again Samia,

                                          No one is denying the "moon" as a marker. But do not deny the specificty of the sun in counting the years as per
                                          1712

                                          We have made the Night and the Day as two (of Our) Signs the Sign of the Night have We obscured, while the Sign of the Day We have made to enlighten you; that ye may seek bounty from your Lord, and that ye may know the number and count of the years all things have We explained in detail

                                          Which should make you re-read verse 105 in the following way to avoid any contradiction
                                          105
                                          He is the One who has made the sun a radiance and the moon a light, and He has measured its phases, that you may know the number of the years and the count. God has not created this except with the truth. He clarifies the revelations for a people who know.

                                          There is no contradiction.

                                          105 No other way to read than what it exactly says; the moon phases are to know the years.

                                          1712 Moon phases only exist due to sunlight and therefore, the sun is used to know the years.

                                          Peace
