Hot/"ramadan" Answer
-
Salaam TS and all,
2203 Remember God during a number of days/ayyam ma'doodat. Whoever hurries to two days, there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays, there is no sin upon him if he is being righteous ...
We can learn from this verse that the standard number of days of participation to the -hajj- was 3 days.
It was allowed to participate one day less or to prolong this period to a number above 3.
Of course a small number above 3 can also be named -ma'doodat- as can be seen in verse 2196 - a number until 10.The issue remains that verse 2196 does not state that all the complete counts -ma'doodat- should go until 10.
When the Koran does not state in any verse that - all the complete counts -madoodat- should go until 10 -, then we should not make this a general rule.I totally agree with you and this is exactly the way how I understand it.
It is interesting that verse 2196 states that the communal fast of a special group of people during the -hajj- was 3 days.
If the -hajj- started with the full moon - there could be an analogy with verse 2185.
The 7 other days that are mentioned in verse 2196 had to be fasted individually at different days, depending on the duration of the way home.It depends on the context what -completing the count ma'doodat- means.
In verse 2196 a count of 10.
In verse 2185 a count of 3 - since the wording ... Therefore, those of you who witnessed the -full moon- shall fast it... (full moon is a period of three days).bravo
Nicely said brother, mashaAllah.
May Allah guide us all to His true path pr

Salaam ayman,
Brother, it is already completely understood from the expression " (count from other days) that it is the same count of the missed days.
Also, please read the passage to the end and see that the following three actions are tied together
You shall complete the count, and magnify the god for what he has guided you and perhaps you would be grateful.
To suggest that completing the count is only for those who are sick or traveling is to imply that magnifying the god and being grateful is also only for the sick and traveling! This is why no translator has interpreted it like this.
Yes, I agree with you brother. 'Waw' between them clarifies that it is not in relation with only who are sick or travelling.
I understood that is simply mentions 'so, counting is from other days', clearly mentioned for those who are sick or travelling, and is 'and to complete the count' is referring to both who fast during Ramadhan and who are sick and travelling.2203 doesn't say that ayyam maadoodat (few days) is three days. We can deduce from 2203 that maadoodat is more than two. 2196 makes it clear that it is 3-10 with the 10 being the complete/max.
Now, how do we understand how much is the count? We have look together 2196 and 2203. Please note that 2196 does not use the word that means count, it only uses the word that means 'complete', this does not mean that whenever the word 'complete' is used that is referring to 'completing the count of fast', but it simply means complete as in
53
53 Forbidden to you is that which is already dead, and the blood, and the meat of pig, and what was dedicated to other than Allah, and that which has been strangled, and that which has been beaten to death, and that which has fallen from a height, and that which has been gored, and that which the wild animals have eaten from except what you managed to rescue, and what has been slaughtered on altars, and what you divide by the arrows of chance. This is vile. Today the rejecters have given up from your system, so do not be concerned by them, but be concerned by Me. Today I have perfected your system for you, and completed My blessings upon you, and I have approved submission as the system for you. So, whoever is forced by severe hunger and not seeking sin, then Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.'Complete' is used without counting.
2233
2233 And the divorced mothers are allowed to suckle their children two full years, if they wish to complete the suckling. And the man for whom the child is born is responsible for both their provisions and clothing equitably. A soul is not burdened except with what it can bear. No mother shall be harmed because of her child, nor shall a father be harmed because of his child. And for the guardian is the same requirement. So if they wish to separate out of mutual agreement and counsel, then there is no sin upon them. And if you want to hire nursing mothers, then there is no sin upon you if you return what you have been given equitably. And be aware of Allah, and know that Allah is watching over what you do.Here period of 'completion' is two years.
1625
1625 They will carry their burdens in full on the Day of Resurrection, and also from the burdens of those whom they misguided without knowledge. Evil indeed is what they bear.Again 'complete' is used without the number of counting.
This is how the word is used in 2196 without the word counting. As 2233 refers to the only 'completion of period mentioned in it', 2196 is also refers to the only 'completion of period mentioned in it' and it has nothing to do with Ramadhan. This is how I understand it brother.
This is clear to me, but still my old question 'Shahr' being 'Full moon' remains
May Allah guide us all to His only path pr
Mohammed M. Khan -
reading from the blog here one can see that we are only trying to find out yes ,but what we should really do is simply take the quran literaly.
meaning word for word.
the three day fast is done in haj while the ramadan should be fasted as a shahr.
it is never said in the quran that ramadan is fasted for three days.remmember we dont need a scientist to explain our quran than we are in the same black age moslems are today.
i would suggest to go back to word shahr.how did any one conclude that it is the full moon when the quran did not state so.
i dont find proof it is the full moon.i would say that i will exclude that meaning for now ,until further evidence is brought from the quran.
please concluding is good ,but any thing not from the quran then it is not right to really expand on it.
so i would say the full moon prophecy is not right.
thank you and salam alaykum, -
2203 Remember God during a number of days/ayyam ma'doodat. Whoever hurries to two days, there is no sin upon him; and whoever delays, there is no sin upon him if he is being righteous ...
We can learn from this verse that the standard number of days of participation to the -hajj- was 3 days.
It was allowed to participate one day less or to prolong this period to a number above 3.
Of course a small number above 3 can also be named -ma'doodat- as can be seen in verse 2196 - a number until 10.quote from mmkhan
Now, how do we understand how much is the count? We have look together 2196 and 2203. Please note that 2196 does not use the word that means count, it only uses the word that means 'complete', this does not mean that whenever the word 'complete' is used that is referring to 'completing the count of fast', end quoteSince this finding of brother mmkhan I have to correct the assumption that a -count ma'doodat- can be until 10, according to the Koran.

Verse 2196 does not contain the word -'adat-.
-
Verse 2203 contains a form of the word -'adat-.
So one can only say from verse 2196 that -ayyam ma'doodat- means 3 as a standard and can mean 2 or somewhat more than 3.
From this verse one can not deduce that one could stay 10 days during the -hajj-.Some reasons for the assumption that verse 2196 does not explain verse 2185 in any way
- Verse 2196 regulates the fast of only a special group of participants of the -hajj- and not the fast of the believers in general, during the communal fast of -shahr ramadan-.
- Verse 2196 rather indicates a private count until 7 so that one can add this up to the 3 communal days fasted during the -hajj-, that makes of course a complete 10.
- Verse 2185 contains the wording -completing the count-, verse 2196 does not contain the word -count-.

peace, how do you determine that full moon is for 3 days? why not 5 , or 7 ?
Verses 2184 and 2185 contain two requirements of the duration of the fast of -shahr ramadan-
Verse 2184 informs us that the fast lasts -ayyaman ma'doodatin-, the plural of more than two.
Verse 2185 informs us that the fast is within the time-frame (between the two markers of the beginning and ending of the full moon) of the full moon.- ... Therefore, those of you who witnessed the -full moon- shall fast it...
The full moon is from earth's perspective never really full - when the sun, earth and moon are perfectly in line, there would be a lunar-eclipse.
Watching with the eye - a coverage of 98% is seen as a total full moon.
A mooncalendar shows that a coverage of 98% lasts about three days.
It is noticable with the eye at the fourth day, the first day after the full moon that it is not full anymore.Peace,

ok let us say it is the full moon for now ,but which full moon will that be.
like what is the time. is it the summer as claimed in this blog,i dont think there is enough proof.The Koran indicates that the -shahr ramadan- is during the warmest period of the year.
As can be read in the first post of this thread - the article.quote ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no evidence that there was a "pre-quranic" month named Ramadhan. The common noun "ramadhan" means "scorching heat". The only derivative from "R-M-Dh" in the great reading is the word "ramadhan", which occurs only once. Hence, there is no way to compare directly the meaning with how it is used in other verses.However, one can indirectly verify the meaning. Verses such as 2217 indicate that there was big fighting during "al-shahr al-7aram". We also know that the whole context of chapter 9 (or the second half of the very long chapter 8, since the "bism Allah" are the only separators) is about fighting the idolaters who broke their treaty. A sign in verse 981 indicates that the time of a particularly big fight that the hypocrites were fearful from was a hot time of the year. Shortly after 982, 986 talks about a chapter descending at that time and from 2185 we know that "shahr ramadhan" is when the great reading was descended so that provides an additional link between "shahr ramadhan" and "al-shahr al-7aram". Hence, circumstantial evidence from the great reading supports that "al-shahr al-7aram"/"shahr ramadhan" is a hot time of the year and confirms the dictionary's meaning.
Now 2185 contains the complete information that we need to know when to start the abstinence. It is the complete information irrespective of what calendar system each nation or group uses because it doesn't rely on any calendar system and instead relies on easily witnessed cosmic phenomena.
When does scorching heat begin to take place? The time of scorching heat starts after the summer solstice. This is the time when the sun is at its highest point and hence the shadow is smallest. Verse 2545 talks about the indicative relationship between the sun and the shadow. It is after the summer solstice that the weather starts to become hot.
end quote --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------This information indicates a fast during the warmest period of the year.
This seems to be the best way of reading - in the Koran until now is not found any compelling proof for the fasting of the full moon -ramadan- during another time of the year.
The word -ramadan-, meaning -scorching heat- seems to be compelling in this matter.
Any other option requires koranic proof that indicates otherwise.Verse 2185 indicates to fast the -shahr ramadan- itself, a period of the full moon - three days.
Three holydays to fast, rest and sleep (apart from the middle prayer) from -fajr- until -layl- and to break the fast, be active during the -layl- until -fajr-.Peace,

i seem to agree most with truth seeker,
ramadan after autumn solice the full moon.three days
and they are a time for prayer,
this is the best explanation i can go with i think.thakn you .
one question when is ashhur hurum.and al shahr el haram.and if el shahr was only full moon then they used to stop fighting for three days and then go back to fighting,so it is four month with three days of nonfighting in every month.i dontknow but that does not seem to make sense.
i dont think i want to trust in dictionaries they seem to be the most misleading.
as for what kind of fasting.in al haj is it fasting from food or speaking.it is not stated and how can you tell.
i know ramadan is fasting from food for it is said to do so.but after haj is it food or speaking that we must obstain from ,please if you can reflect on these.
that remains for an answer yet.
thank you

ramadan after autumn solice the full moon.three days
The most scorching heat and the most red moon appear in Arabia in general after summer-solstice, not during the autumn.
The first full moon after june 21 seems to be the correct timing.one question when is ashhur hurum.and al shahr el haram.and if el shahr was only full moon then they used to stop fighting for three days and then go back to fighting,so it is four month with three days of nonfighting in every month.i dontknow but that does not seem to make sense.
The timing of the four -restricted full moons- seems to need more investigation.
There seems not be found compelling koranic evidence for the timing of them.When four full moons are mentioned together - then the days between them are rather to be included.
The four -restriced full moons- 3 x 29.5 + 3 days makes about 91.5 days - including the duration of three days of the last full moon.
The first day of the first full moon could be the marker of the start of the -restricted full moons-.
The last day of the last full moon could be the marker of the end of the -restricted full moons-.as for what kind of fasting.in al haj is it fasting from food or speaking.it is not stated and how can you tell.
i know ramadan is fasting from food for it is said to do so.but after haj is it food or speaking that we must obstain from ,please if you can reflect on these.
that remains for an answer yet.You are right that the type of fast can depend on the context - the fast of Maryam - 1926.
But during the -hajj- the fast seems to be at least concerning the food - since verse 2196 contains rulings about the subject of offerings - food-provision.
It seems hard and not very relevant - not to speak during three days of the -hajj- and even more when one arrived at home and one would have to be silent another 7 days.Peace,

The issue remains that verse 2196 does not state that all the complete counts -ma'doodat- should go until 10.
It does clearly state that the "10" is complete. Why did the god say that it is 10 and "complete"? The god knows that any idiot can add 3+7 and thus saying 3+7 would have been 100% sufficient if what you are saying is even remotely true.
When the Koran does not state in any verse that - all the complete counts -madoodat- should go until 10 -, then we should not make this a general rule.
This is because you assume that "maadoodat" can be anything. Maadoodat is 3-10. The fact that 2196 states that 10 is complete further confirms this.
It is interesting that verse 2196 states that the communal fast of a special group of people during the -hajj- was 3 days.
If the -hajj- started with the full moon - there could be an analogy with verse 2185.The "hajj" does indeed start with the full-moon.
The 7 other days that are mentioned in verse 2196 had to be fasted individually at different days, depending on the duration of the way home.
You are once again not reading the complete passage until the end as you did with
Please read until the end of the passage. It clearly says that waiting to get back is only for those whose family are not in the inviolable institution of obedience
This (7 days when you return) is for the one whose family are not in the inviolable institution of obedience and be forethoughtful of the god and know that the god is severe in retribution.
So for those whose family is in the inviolable institution of obedience the fast would be a continuous period for the complete 10 days. While for those whose family are not, the fast would also be the complete 10 days but they would be broken up into 3 and 7 days.
Peace,

i still think that our answers are speculative,can we find a more direct answer.
i hope we can,but pls we need that ,stateing the scorching heat of that time,well where is it reflected in the quran,as for a meaning for the word ramadan,it is only dictionaries and we will not take that into account.
let us look further into ramadan.
it is said in the quarn "shahru ramadan ilazi unzilla fihi ilquran ,hudan linnah ,wa bayinatin mina al huda wal furqan"
here there are two clear words " HUDA and FURQAN"they will lead us to what and when is Ramadan.
it is also said in the Quran that ,we where given the stars for Huda.
"litahtadu biha"
and Allah knows best,
please reflect,let us use the quran and not any dictionary for reflection
salam tell me what you think,let us look into this further.i hope to look deeper into FURQAN and Huda and "kutiba alaykum el siyam kama kutiba ala ilazeena min qablikum "
all this must be taken into account.
al shahr is not the full moon.
for allah has given precise terms in the quran ,no puzzles.
this must be looked into further. i do appreciate all your effort,and i do take it seriously,thank you all.
but i am still looking let us keep our faith that Allah will give us guidance.

It does clearly state that the "10" is complete. Why did the god say that it is 10 and "complete"? The god knows that any idiot can add 3+7 and thus saying 3+7 would have been 100% sufficient if what you are saying is even remotely true.
Verse 2196 states that a 10 is complete because in this special case 3 and 7 have to be added.
There are more examples in the Koran that a combination of numbers is mentioned in a special way.
For instance
verse 2914 - 1000 minus 50
verse 1825 - 300 plus 9
Verse 2196 gives the total of the to be added numbers, the reason for this is unclear.
From this we can not induce a general rule that all the counts should be until 10.
If all the complete sums where to go until 10 - then there rather would be a clear ruling.
We should avoid making rules when the verses of the Koran do not indicate this.The wording concerning the count in verse 2196 is different from verse 2185 and 2203.
- Verse 2196 does not contain the word -'adat-.
- Verses 2185 and 2203 contain a form of the word -'adat-.
This is an extra indication that verse 2196 does not explain verse 2185 in any way.
Furthermore - the verses are about the fast of different groups of people in different circumstances.
This is because you assume that "maadoodat" can be anything. Maadoodat is 3-10. The fact that 2196 states that 10 is complete further confirms this.
I did not write or assume that -ma'doodat- can be anything, as you suggest.
- quote
So one can only say from verse 2196 that -ayyam ma'doodat- means 3 as a standard and can mean 2 or somewhat more than 3.
From this verse one can not deduce that one could stay 10 days during the -hajj-.
unquote -
It is your assumption that ma'doodat is 3 - 10.
One can only deduce from verse 2203 that the -count ma'doodat- is 3 or 2 or somewhat more than 3.
There is no proven connection with verse 2196 - also because of the absence of the word -'adat-, which is present in verses 2203 and 2185.You are once again not reading the complete passage until the end as you did with
Please read until the end of the passage. It clearly says that waiting to get back is only for those whose family are not in the inviolable institution of obedienceThis (7 days when you return) is for the one whose family are not in the inviolable institution of obedience and be forethoughtful of the god and know that the god is severe in retribution.
So for those whose family is in the inviolable institution of obedience the fast would be a continuous period for the complete 10 days. While for those whose family are not, the fast would also be the complete 10 days but they would be broken up into 3 and 7 days.The way that you read the last part of verse 2196 seems not to be compelling.
Rather the total ruling of -a fast of 3 + 7 days- is only for the participants who can not give an offering whose family does not live near the -masjid el haram-.
One can assume from this that
The family of the poor participant provided for the food for him/her, the poor participant probably stayed at their homes.
So they where not dependend on the food-provision of the -hajj-organisation.I missed a reaction to following
It would be particular to assume that our Creator gave the details of the time-frame of only special occasions of fasting for some special people and not for the general communal fast of -shahr ramadan-.- 492 - a fast of two consecutive full moons in case of unvoluntary manslaughter and one can not compensate in another prescribed way.
- 584 - a fast of two consecutive full moons in case of a certain wrong manner of divorce.
- 589 - a fast of three day in case of breaking a serious oath and one can not compensate in another prescribed way.
- 2196 - a dual fast of 3 + 7 days for a special group of visitors of the -hajj-.
It seems to be particular to assume that for the communal fast of -shahr ramadan- the believers are not precisely instructed and that they should read in sources next to the Koran that a -count ma'dootan- has to be until 10 - since this general rule is not found in the Koran.
Verse 2185 seems to be complete and detailed in this matter - no assumptions needed.
... Therefore, those of you who witnessed the -full moon- shall fast it ...
The ones who missed the communal fast, or one or two days of it, can fast other days and complete the relevant count - in this case that seems to be until three, the duration of a full moon.Peace,

Salaam brothers TS and Ayman,
This is because you assume that "maadoodat" can be anything. Maadoodat is 3-10. The fact that 2196 states that 10 is complete further confirms this.
Can you please explain how you understand 'maadoodat' is 3-10 brother? If the figure is not fixed specially in case of fasting then there is no problem in fasting any number of days between 3-10, because 2196 says that completion of 3+7 is 10, but does not clarify that the completion of maadoodat is 10.
One can only deduce from verse 2203 that the -count ma'doodat- is 3 or 2 or somewhat more than 3.
2203 never states that maadoodaat could be less then or more then 3, it simply clarifies that it is just fixed 3.
If you notice the words used in 2203 are 'yaumaini' and 'ta-aqqara'. The usage of word 'yaumani' means 2 days clears it all when it came with the combination of the word 'ta-'ajjala' means hasten.
Clarification from 2203
Two days - Is not possible maadoodaat, because it is 'hastening in maadoodaat' and 'yaumaini' itself means 2 days not maadoodaat.
Three days - Is possible maadoodaat, because two days is hastening in it and four days is delaying in it.
Four days - Is not possible maadoodaat, because if four days or more then that is maadoodaat, then what about 3 days? And we should not forget that 2196 states the total Hajj period is 3 days. Therefore, this falls under 'ta-aqqara' means 'delay'.
May Allah guide us all to His only path pr

Peace Eid,
You are assuming that 4615 and 2233 apply to the rare maximum gestation period and not the normal. The great reading is not talking about the maximum rare gestation period. It is talking about what is normal. Also, please see what I copied in blue above. This maximum is due to the way modern science calculates pregnancy based on the event of the last menstruation and variation of when actual conception occurred relative to this event (like the full-moon is an event).
So interpreting "shahr" as full-moon covers the normal while allowing for the range up to the max that modern science determined. On the other hand, the traditional definition of "shahr" as a 29.5 days lunar month will always result in the max of 294 and never the normal, which is false. This is why it is impossible. It is a physical impossibility that every human gestation is the max 294 days as your interpretation would imply.
Peace,
Ayman
Peace Ayman,
Using full moons is short 29 days unless using maximum ?
10 full moons (29.53059 x 9) = 266
20 full moons (29.53059 x 19) = 561
30 full moons (29.53059 x 29) = 856266 + 561 = 827 (short 29 days)
10 full moons (29.53059 x 10) = 295
20 full moons (29.53059 x 20) = 591
30 full moons (29.53059 x 30) = 886295 + 591 = 886

2203 never states that maadoodaat could be less then or more then 3, it simply clarifies that it is just fixed 3.
If you notice the words used in 2203 are 'yaumaini' and 'ta-aqqara'. The usage of word 'yaumani' means 2 days clears it all when it came with the combination of the word 'ta-'ajjala' means hasten.
Clarification from 2203
Two days - Is not possible maadoodaat, because it is 'hastening in maadoodaat' and 'yaumaini' itself means 2 days not maadoodaat.
Three days - Is possible maadoodaat, because two days is hastening in it and four days is delaying in it.
Four days - Is not possible maadoodaat, because if four days or more then that is maadoodaat, then what about 3 days? And we should not forget that 2196 states the total Hajj period is 3 days. Therefore, this falls under 'ta-aqqara' means 'delay'.
I agree with you that one can read verse 2203 in a way that one can conclude that -ma'doodat- refers only to the number three.
But one could read the verse also in the following way The number of days that one may join the -hajj- was -ma'doodat-.
The verse clarifies that this number is three days as a standard, but that it also can be two or somewhat more than three.
The wording -ma'doodat- seems to indicate a number that can be called a few - three and the numbers around it.the word -ma'doodat- in others contexts
verse 280 and 324 - few days in the fire.
verse 1220 - few dirhams, as a price for Yusuf - a symbolical low price.These verses seem to indicate that -ma'doodat- refers to a small number.
One could assume if -ma'doodat- only can mean three, that the word three could have been used in stead of the word -ma'doodat-.Together with verse 2203 one could say that the word -ma'doodat- refers to the number three, or means two or somewhat more.

One could assume if -ma'doodat- only can mean three, that the word three could have been used in stead of the word -ma'doodat-.Together with verse 2203 one could say that the word -ma'doodat- refers to the number three, or means two or somewhat more.
Correct! But still, if you take madoodaat as any number from 3-10, then how will you decide the number of fasting during Ramadhan? From 2203 we can get the exact number i.e., 3. I think this number 3 may refer to all the aayaats where the maadoodaat is used.
At the moment, we does not require to know the exact number in other aayaats where the word 'maadoodaat' is used, but we must have to know the exact number of Ramadhan for fasting.
2203 is not directly referring to Ramadhan but it is about Hajj, and when we take the count of fasting in Ramadhan from 2203 then the same exact number will refer to all the aayaats where the word maadoodaat is used.
The reason of using the word maadoodaat instead of three is still unknown. Allah knows best.
May Allah guide us all to His true path. pr

Salaam brother,
Verse 2185 seems to be complete and detailed in this matter - no assumptions needed.
... Therefore, those of you who witnessed the -full moon- shall fast it ...
The ones who missed the communal fast, or one or two days of it, can fast other days and complete the relevant count - in this case that seems to be until three, the duration of a full moon.I got a problem here.
2185
2185 Shahr of Ramadhan in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever witness AlShahr, he shall fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful.
If
Shahru = Full moon
Ash-huru = Full moonsThen, the word used in 2185 is "" that means "So, he shall fast it".
Falyasum + HU and "Hu" is singular, that cannot be referring to plural full moons, either 3 full moons or more. If it has to be plural the word would be "FALYASUM + HUNNA". To understand it better please follow
2185
2197
Please note that the word 'AlShahra' is singular in 2185, and 'Ash-hurun' is plural in 2197. In the same way 'hu' of falysumhu is singular in 2185 and 'hinna' of feehinna is also plural in 2197.
This shows that 2185 is not referring to 3 full moons. As always, my doubt about 'shahr' being full-moon is increasing now.
May Allah increase us all in knowledge and guide us all to His only path pr

In verse 2203 one can only read that -ma'doodat- refers to three or two or a number slightly higher than three (be it four or five).
The verse does not imply a count until ten - that would be out of context - the difference would be too big to call an increase of the stay during the -hajj- with more than 200% - just a delay.Peace,

This shows that 2185 is not referring to 3 full moons. As always, my doubt about 'shahr' being full-moon is increasing now.
Verse 2185 refers only to one special full moon that occurs one time a year - the scorching full moon/shahr ramadan.
That is why one has to fast it, not to fast them.
The meaning of the singular -hu- is indicative for this.The -hajj- was an event within the four restricted full moons - within a period of 3 x 29.5 + 3 = 91.5 days (including the duration of the last full moon).
From the Koran we can only really know that it lasted somewhat longer than three days - verse 2203.Regarding the duration of the fast of -shahr ramadan- verses 2184 and 2185 alone are clear and detailed - the full moon lasts three days (ayyaman ma'doodat), that is the duration of the communal fast.
Verses 2196 and 2197 do not explain or add rules to verses 2184 and 2185 - since they are about other subjects.
Verse 2203 confirms that the number -ma'doodat- refers to number three as a standard - compatible with the duration of the full moon, three days.Peace,

Salaam bro,
I am sorry if I am not clear in making my point.
Verse 2185 refers only to one special full moon that occurs one time a year - the scorching full moon/shahr ramadan.
That is why one has to fast it, not to fast them.
The meaning of the singular -hu- is indicative for this.That is what I am saying brother that 2185 refers to the only special scorching shahr once in a year.
'FalyasumHU' is either referring to 'a period' or referring to 'a month' , but not a 'full moon'. If shahr means 'full moon' it is NOT working out with 'maadoodaat' and 'falyasumhu', as maadoodaat is referring to 3 days and 'HU' is a singular. We cannot change 'it' to 'this' to fit our understanding brother. Unless and until we study it deeply and keeping our personal understandings aside, we are not gonna find the truth.
From the Koran we can only really know that it lasted somewhat longer than three days - verse 2203.
???
Regarding the duration of the fast of -shahr ramadan- verses 2184 and 2185 alone are clear and detailed - the full moon lasts three days (ayyaman ma'doodat), that is the duration of the communal fast.
Totally agreed.
Verses 2196 and 2197 do not explain or add rules to verses 2184 and 2185 - since they are about other subjects.
Verse 2203 confirms that the number -ma'doodat- refers to number three as a standard - compatible with the duration of the full moon, three days.2197 does. Without taking all the aayaats in relation we are not going to find the truth.
The -hajj- was an event within the four restricted full moons - within a period of 3 x 29.5 + 3 = 91.5 days (including the duration of the last full moon).
Brother, I want to understand what means 3 in addition from the above 3 x 29.5 + 3 what this plus three when you already counted full moons also in 29.5?
May Allah guide us all to His true path. pr
