Hot/"ramadan" Answer

noshirk

The reason why September was fitted into the equation is because the term "Ramdhiyy" was given to the rain when it fell upon the hot ground. They assumed that because we have rain mixing with hot earth, this must mean that we are in autumn. But this is only from the point of view of those who live in climates where the rain season happens to start in September. But this is not so in many areas of the world. For example, in Saudi Arabia, the rainy season is during March/April. That marks the end of the cold season there. It never rains there in September. (Those members who live in Saudi Arabia can confirm this). In many parts of Europe and North America, the rainy season is in summer, where the most savage of thunderstorms and torrential rain can be witnessed in June or July, when the earth is hot from the summer. So their Ramdhiyy comes in June.

Salaam Brother
Really , i dont know why you are seeing raining in Saudi Arabia. What happened there ? o
Look here for Yemen

(rain is called pluie in french)

Now, September hypothesis is based for me on these facts

Meaning of word ramadhan as you noticed.
Meaning of word qadr (measure) wich can be understood as perfect equilibrum between lenght day and length of night
equinox day is equinox day il all the planet, even in north pole. Summer solistice in noth hemisphere in winter is south and there is no night in north pole.

-Based on 30-2 and history of persian/roman war, year 617 is propably the year in wich occured the layloatou el qadr in wich quran was revealed. It was both laylatou el qadr (equinox) and shahr ramadhan (full moon of ramadhan) as quran said it was revealed in both laylatou el qadr and shahr ramadhan. Night of 20 spetember 617 was night of such a concidence. Moreover , it was a night in wich moon was at perigee, wich means that it was a supermoon (the biggest moon possible in the sky). The next full moon, the one of 20 october 617, was ? night of inchiqaq qamar, that is a lunar eclipse in middle east whare moon appeared splitted in two.

and here are the proofs

and just type year 617 here

What a beautiful night it was.

Salam Pazuzu ,

I believe too that rmdh is to indicate a seasonal period , but i personally do not see that is about the period of maximum heat , the word ramdhaan is following too the pattern fa3lan explained below

Mean that the rmdh has accrued and expended to reach it's maximum , then the rmdh will finish after reaching the stage of its fullness . So yes the term shahr Ramadan is pointing to the period where the rmdh has reached its maximum.

This thread theory believe that Ramadhan is the scorching heat period , i personally don't think so and i will inshaA allaah try to prove that from the Quran and connected to other evidence .

The whole theory of the period of Ramadan and the concept and nature and the length of the fast is not consistent according to this thread and need major reviewing so we come inchaA allaah to the better understanding , with respect to the sincere effort ,study and research of who contributed to uncover the veils about this topic , and may allaah reward them for their sincere effort and guide us all to what is nearer to this in comprehension .

What about superlative of ra-mim-dhad" which is "armadh" vs "ramadhan"

"Armadh" shall be "the most scorching" or "the hottest" the form similar to

akbar
asfal
asghar

May i know what is the core difference between these two form of derivative.

Salam Ashraf ,

Armadh is under the pattern Af3al it is a superlative or comparative pattern between two or more ex

This month is Armadh from all the al-shuhur so this month is Ramdan
Allaah is Arham al-rahimyin so he is al-rahman
Iblis is the AshaT from all the rest of the world , so he is al-shaytan

The pattern Af3al can also be used as a name when the al is added at the begining

63 - 8

638 (They say, "If we return to al-Madinah, the more honored (al-A3az) will surely expel therefrom the more humble ( al-Adal )." And to Allah belongs honor, and to His Messenger, and to the believers, but the hypocrites do not know.)

The pattern Af3al is only used to indicate comparison and superlative forms between two things or more , while the pattern Fa3lan doesn't require comparison or superlative form , if something was known to be the most in a state or attribute compered superlatively to other-things under the pattern Af3al then his name become under the pattern Fa3lan , ex

allaah Arham al-rahemyin
allah is the most merciful from all others

So allaah is al-rahman ( the name form of the most merciful under the pattern Fa3lan ) , we can also say allah is al-arham ( under the pattern Af3al ) but this form is a comparative and superlative , the name that is concluded from that comparative superlative form is al-rahman

Comparative & superlative form Name derived
Form Af3al Form fa3lan

Armadh----------------------------------------------= ramdan
Ashtan-----------------------------------------------= shaytan
Aryah ------------------------------------------------= rayhan
Aanass-----------------------------------------------= inssan
A3tash------------------------------------------------= 3atshan

So the pattern Fa3lan ( name ) is including the pattern Af3al ( comparative & superlative adjective )

i have a question, please.

17.12.
17.12 . And we appoint the night and the day two portents . Then We make dark the portent of the night , and We make the portent of the day sight giving , that ye may seek bounty from your Lord , and that ye may know the computation of the years , and the reckoning ; and everything have We expounded with a clear expounding .

10/5.Huwa allathee jaAAala alshshamsa diyaan wa alqamara nooran waqaddarahu manazila...

the portent/signs is a light?????? and not a moon???

Ali_Nasser

Does Ramadan mean 'hot, scorching heat' or does it signal the first signs of rain after the heat? Can someone clarify this with proofs? Not hunches or gut feelings.

Salaam freeminders,

I would like to add my 5 cents to the discussion on Ramadhan from slightly different perspective.. through analysing the book of Exodus.. However you might be surprised how this analysis connects to your arguments...
I have opened a new theread as it brings new info and I wouldn't like to disrupt your discussion here. I would really appreciate your comments and feedback regarding it

So what is the Summer calculation for 2014?
Summer Solstice 2014 = Jun 21, 2014
So would ramadan be starting on the Following FULL moon 2014 = July 12, 2014 (1125am Saturday)??

Yes, this would be the case.

What about having the fasting period count the new moon after the summer solstice? has anyone experimented with this idea?

unknownuser

I just saw that this thread has been going on for nearly 10 years now and just laughed my head off. rotfl

Peace to all.
Surely for those fasting at the start of the Summer Solstice, the date would be June 13?

I am waiting reply for this as well peace

roshan_m

Peace,

according to my understanding, fasting will start on 13th June, and lasts for the next 10 days. Even if the full moon will be visible somehow on 12th in the morning, I believe that we are commanded to fast from the next day. It is because according to Quran and ancient Jewish calendar, day count starts not from the sunrise but from the nightfall and finishes at the sunset, and the day 2 is counted and so on..

So even if moon is observed at some pint during the day, the count should start from the nightfall, does that make sense to you?

Man_of_Faith

Peace,

Those who advocate 10 days of fasting. What is your argument for this? I am researching on this myself and the whole thing is so vaguely interpreted in the recitation.

God bless you

roshan_m

Peace,
I have already given the full explanation of my position on that on this thread

http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9606402.0

My comparative analysis of Quranic verses and Torah Exodus shows absolute accordance and logic behind revelations of Torah and Quran and gave me instructions that fasting is for 10 days from the full moon after the summer solistice (which will start on 13 July this year).

Of course, this is my research and other people might have other ideas about ramadhan and fasting, but to me it was a striking Eureka moment when I realised that my analysis of the journey of Children of Israel from the land of Phiraun up to the moment they got to the Mountain where Moses received revelation comes to exactly the same conclusion as independent study by brother Ayman who focused purely on semantical analysis of Quranic verses on the subject of fasting and calendar!!! If you are looking for clear cut answers and obvious verses, then you might get disappointed. The whole ramadhan stuff falls into those unclear verses category and the only solution for you is to ponder on verses, ask critical questions and search for answers for yourself.

actually, I agree that the whole ramadhan and fasting issue is just as much ambiguous as the issue where the real Kaaba or even more. I spent really long hours and days and weeks searching and analysing things and I would reccommend you brother a lot of patience and really carefully reading this thread (at least first few dozens of pages lol) and the link I gave you as they deal with very detailed and really complicated matters that you or I never bothered before such as what is the true calendar system, intercelary month,its counting, dvelving on meaning of words such as shahr, nasi, ramadhan etc etd.

After all, what I think matters and God knows best is our intention. If someone came to conclusion after prayers for guidance and pondering on verses and critical and logical analysis that one should fast 3 days in September then let them do it. As long as people do sth based on their genuine intention to follow God and His command after making effort to search for answers then I believe that is fine. But it is not fine to follow others blindly just because they say so or because it's been like this for ages and it is considered as unquestionable truth even though it is illogical.

A Sunni woman told me today that she fasted yesterday because it was a mandatory "preparation fast". Have I missed something in the scripture?

As far as I know, it's not mandatory for Sunni, but more like special sunnah practice ---> "Fasting in Sha'ban".
