    Peace Farida,

    I am really surprised and dissapointed. I thought that you were more intelligent and critical minded than to accept such nonsense and then claim that it is due to following the great reading "too rigidly".

    Not.

    Ayman

    Salaam again

    Thank you for your faith in my intelligence and there is no need to feel disappointed with me as I am the one who has fiercely protested about this ?get? version of divorce.

    In fact I expected you and other learned people on this forum to confront this sort of interpretation but you all ignored it as if he was right. -\

    This has nothing to do with rich or poor. It has to do with the so-called Muslim world relying on a Mullah or a committee or their government to witness for them. They fail to see the universal spirit of 2185. It has to do with ignorance versus enlightment. Indeed, the night of the measure is better than a thousand full-moons.

    You can help them by translating the word "muslim" and show them that it is not a meaningless title that they were born with instead of contributing to the problem by propagating this myth.

    Peace,

    I can only speak for myself that |I never relied on Mullah nor ever sent my children to learn from them.
    As for teaching others well I am still learning so how can a student become a teacher?

    I am off to bed or I would miss my early morning meal before dawn.
    peace

      "That they may witness the benefits for them, and celebrate the name of Allah, through the Days appointed over the cattle which He has provided for them then eat ye thereof and feed the distressed ones in want. (22-2

      What do you witness in Hajj?

      The benefits !! confused
      You see that the verb here means "witness" and not testify, since it's followed by a direct object.

        I am not aware of that one, but do send a link or details, even of this case of Zainab I remembered from this novel and I am waiting to see how much rigid interpratation of Quran will result in yet more discrimination.

          Peace,

          Samia, you said that taaqatun is the verbal noun of yuteequ/ataaqa (form 4). I would urge you to look that up again. The verbal noun of ataaqa would be Itaaqatun, and not just taaqatun. Taaqatun is the verbal noun of the first form yateequ/taaqa. It would seem that the first form means to be able or to be in a position to do something (may be some more meanings). Form 4 means to suffer through something or to be able to suffer through it. So they both can apply ability, but form 4 implies ability with effort and toll, and form 1 just implies ability, like qadira and astitaa3. Hope i helped to clarifiy.

          Godbless,
          Anwar

            Taaqa is a noun that can be used as verbal noun according to classical dictionaries

            .

            The verbal noun is "iTaaqa" which means the ability to do something (lisaanul 3arab; al-Sahaah fil-Lugha; al-Qaamuuaul MuheeT).

                Salam belalhammad. Having examined many calendars, including native american calendars, then reading the suras of the Quran I wish to offer the following concepts as a way out of the apparent confusion.

                The confusion is evident when a debate takes place over ramadan being the hottest month of the year, then the comparison being made between the hottest month in Saudi Arabia in the northern hemisphere, versus the hottest month in South Africa in the southern hemisphere. Obviously the hottest month in the northern hemisphere is six months away from the hottest month in the southern hemisphere.

                Allah made the earth and the seasons and the hemispheres, and in such a way, that the hottest month does not fall at the same time on all parts of the earth. Allah in his wisdom established the hottest month ramadan as the month of fasting.

                The presumption that exists in the mind of some people, that ramadan must occur at the same time all over the world, is a presumtion that has no basis in any authority from the Quran. I cannot find any ayat of the Quran that says "you must establish ramadan in the same month all throughout the earth"

                Because Allah establishes truth and rejects falsehood, we must establish the truth as well. In order to establish the truth, ramadan must be the hottest month of the year in the location at which the momin resides. I am aware that this precludes naming a particular month of the year as ramadan. What this means in practice is there may be a third month in Saudi Arabia that is ramadan for Saudis, and a ninth month in South Africa that is ramadan for South Africans.

                I am sure that readers will react in confusion. However, I have faith in Allah, that in what Allah establishes is the truth, therefore, to establish the same for myself is to bring me closer to the truth. If readers can grasp this concept, that establishing the truth of Allah is more important than slavishly following false ideas, I believe this will be valuable to them as a tool for better comprehension of the Quran.

                Allah reveals the Quran in stages.

                  Peace'
                  Why does "Rammadan" word means "Hot", when God uses other words for Hot?

                  LET GOD TELL US
                  Extreme and intense Heat is

                  Part of 9-81 (&#65279

                  Those who were left behind rejoiced in their inaction behind the back of the Messenger of Allah they hated to strive and fight with their goods and their persons, in the Cause of Allah they said "Go not forth in the heat
                  . Say "The fire of Hell is fiercer in heat
                  ." If only they could understand! (9-81)

                  Why God did not use the Word Ramadan Instead of "Har" or "Al-Har"?

                  (&#65279
                  Nor are the (chilly) shade and the extreme heat of the sun (35-21)

                  Why again God ignored the use of Rammadan instead of "Harror"

                  (&#65279

                  It is Allah who made out of the things He created, some things to give you shade; of the hills He made some for your shelter; He made you garments to protect you from heat
                  , and coats of mail to protect you from your (mutual) violence. Thus does He complete his favours on you, that ye may surrender to His will (in Islam). (16-81)

                  Heat is "Har" and never the Word Rammadan.

                  (&#65279
                  Therefore do I warn you of a Fire blazing fiercely; (92-14)

                  (&#65279
                  By no means! For it would be the blazing Heat of Hell! (70-15)

                  NOW, Where is Your and Ayman and every body who claim Rammadan to mean Heat, proof FROM QURAN. OTHERWISE, you are Misleading People From the TRue Meaning of Quranic Words.

                    OK,
                    What ones can witness in Hajj?

                    Can a Blind Still witness the Hajj (the Benefits), as he can Witness Rammadan?

                    Thus, witnessing can be by Hearing or Seeing or Both.

                      Peace all,

                      From Chapter 9

                      1. Those who have remained are happy with their position of lagging behind God?s messenger, and they disliked striving with their wealth and lives in the cause of God; and they say ?Do not mobilize in the heat.? Say ?The fire of Hell is far hotter,? if they could only understand.
                      2. Let them laugh a little, and cry a lot, a recompense for what they had earned.
                      3. If God returns you to a group of them, and they ask your permission to come with you, then say ?You will not come with me ever; nor will you fight any enemy with me. You had accepted staying behind the first time, so stay with those who remain behind.?
                      4. And do not commune over any of them who have died, nor stand at their grave. They have rejected God and His messenger and died while they were wicked.
                      5. And do not be impressed by their wealth and their children; God only wishes to punish them with it in this world, and so their souls will be taken to death while they are rejecters.
                      6. And when a chapter is sent down ?That you shall believe in God and strive with His messenger,? those with wealth and influence ask your permission and they say ?Let us be with those who remain behind.?
                      7. They were content to stay with those who remained behind, and it was stamped on their hearts, for they do not comprehend.

                      Chapter 2

                      2185 A scorching full moon is when the reading was descended as a guidance for people and clarifications from the guidance and the criterion, so whomever amongst you witnesses the full-moon, let him abstain it. And whomever was sick or traveling so a count of other days. The god wants to facilitate and not make it hard on you. And so complete the count and magnify the god for what he guided you and perhaps you would be thankful.

                      It is very clear but unfortunately some people can't read a few lines down and they can only follow their forefathers like sheep.

                      Peace,

                      Ayman

                              Do not mind what he Says, as you can note from the above verses, that is what his reply will be when you tell him he is wrong.

                                Peace

                                OK,
                                What ones can witness in Hajj?

                                Can a Blind Still witness the Hajj (the Benefits), as he can Witness Rammadan?

                                Thus, witnessing can be by Hearing or Seeing or Both.

                                Which post of mine are you alluding at?

                                  Salam belalhammad. There is an interesting analysis to be had, why often more than one Arabic word means almost the same thing.

                                  The example I came across was in studying the origin of the "Ze" in Arabic. Without drawing a Ze, if you imagine the shape of a Ze it is similar to a scythe, an agricultural tool used to cut wheat or rice stalks. If you look at the English Z, you will see the shape of a similar tool, the three parts of the Z being the handle, the arm, and the blade. The scythe was the origin of the Pharoanic scimitar, an early sword. If you compare a Pharoanic scimitar to a scythe you can see the similarity. Eventually the Pharoanic scimitar evolved into the Arab saif, the shape of which resembles a Ze. Apparantly agricultural tools were the origin of some weapons.

                                  The interesting evolution of the letters and words in Arabic results in two ways in which one can say a person has been killed. You can either use the agricultural route and say they have been cut off similar to a harvest, or you can say they have had their head removed similar to a sword being used. Both descriptions are valid.

                                  I hope this clears up your question as to why sometimes more than one word can be used in Arabic to convey the same meaning.

                                  When you come to the word for hot, there is a general consensus that the word Ramadan means the month of hot ground. This is not unusual, Jumada Al Awwal and Jumada Al Thani are the first and second dry months, Jumda means dry. There is often a connection between the names of the month and a seasonal event. The name of the month of Ramadan is no exception.

                                  What is notable is that the month of Ramadan, the month of hot ground, is a month that is readily identifiable worldwide. There is one month in all countries which is the hottest month. This makes the identification of the month of Ramadan easy.

                                  The problem does not lie in identifying which month is Ramadan. The problem begins when people try and impose one universal month as Ramadan, that does not work. People are foolish and not wise. Allah is wise.

                                    I am glad to see that among many sheeps you have A_A (reply 166 above), who can read even more lines down than you can .

                                    You still haven't answered my question. Do you have faith in the great reading?

                                    Peace,

                                    Ayman

                                        According to God, Shahad means testify or witness by true knowledge.

                                        Now do you agree with Ayman when saying that ones have to witness the Moon by their Eyes if they want to Fast?

                                        Do you agree that "Famen Shahed menkom Elshaher falyasoma" means witnessing by eyes or Ears, or is it by Eyes only?

                                          Salam belalhammad. There is no ayat in the Quran that says "Ramadan means heat" However the root word of Ramadan, Ramd, does mean "burn"

                                          Your question is an example of what is called "Reductio ad Absurdum"

                                          You have reduced your question to an absurd point. Your question makes it impossible for anyone to give you a reasonable answer.

                                          Let me demonstrate. The English word heat is not in the Quran. You know this as well as anyone else. You poisoned the question so that it could not be answered and you will gloat over the fact it was not answered. The result of this is, instead of identifying the correct month, which should have been your goal, you can identify nothing.

                                          Allah exposes falsehood with the truth.
