Hot/"ramadan" Answer
-
Peace Belal,
This has already been answered. try to read before going in circles
http//free-minds.org/forum/index.php?topic=9188.msg215872#msg215872
This is a stupid question. How old are you? Do you know anyone who counts his or her age in lunar months?
Peace,
Ayman
Peace all,
Ayman knows that in order for him or one of his follower to answer my two simple question, they will have to refute their own theory.
I will Ask them again...maybe one of you will have the guts to do...here are my TWO CORRELATED questions again; please note that you will need to answer the two questions and NOT ONE, as Ayman is Proposing above rotfl (He is very sneaky Boy... ;D)
Challenge Starts here
If what you and Ayman are proposing, we should ignore the moon #13 when calculating a Year, then, can you calculate for us the following, after reading this
4615 And We enjoined man to do good to his parents. His mother bore him with hardship, gave birth to him in hardship, and his bearing and weaning lasts thirty months. So that, when he has reached his independence, and he has reached forty years, he says My Lord, direct me to appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me and upon my parents, and to do good work that pleases You. And let my progeny be righteous. I have repented to You; I am of those who have submitted.
46151-How many years are in the 30 month period that is mentioned in the above verse?
2-How many Months (full moon to full moon period, or Waxing Crescent to Waxing Crescent) are in the 40 years period mentioned in the above verse?
Please let us give it one more chance to end this in an intelligent way.
Any one wants to answer, please do so.
peace
o you know anyone who counts his or her age in lunar months
By the way Ayman, How many Months Did God Count in the mentioned 40 years?
Did God Count 40 X 12 = 480 Lunar Cycle?
Or, according to your theory, Did God discounted the Full Moon #13 every three year?

In your eagerness to debunk, you are splitting hair at the nano level!
It is not natural to count years using a lunar calendar, years is for a pure solar calendar.
So the years (sineen or aam that the Quran refer to are Solar years, not even luni-solar).
Now as a convenience, to mark twelve months, because Allah demands that a year be subdivided
in 12 months, we use the phases of the moon to help us, and lo and behold, most of the time, there are
12 full-moons every year, so wouldn't this be an obvious marker, with a word that also means moon and
famous at the same time shahar?
What you are asking for is spurious and idiotic, it is like asking how old will someone be who is born on a 29 February
after 60 years.
Let me give you what Imam Shafie did to someone a bit more extreme than you, but similar (he might have made sense in his day and age after all)
There was someone in a market who found a grain of rice on the floor, and was shouting as to whom it belonged, making a nuisance of himself and disturbing the peace.
Imam Shafie happened to be in the area, and asked for him to be arrested, asked him what was the fuss about, the guy said he did not want to be punished for not returning a lost property to its owner, Imam Shafie asked him to repent, as he refused, he was flogged 20 lashes...
You get the drift? -
Peace Ayman,
What straw-man? You were defending the sectarian arbitrary calendar where ?ramadhan? can occur at any haphazard time, even in the cold of winter. Either you believe that the god uses the word ?scorching/hot? haphazardly and ?ramadhan? can be during the cold of winter or you agree with me that the timing for ?ramadhan/scorching/hot must be during the hot time of the year. There is no other choice and this is irrespective of whether ?shahr? means full-moon, crescent, or month.
I disagree with your translation and understanding including the meaning of shahr ramadhan.
Using your logic, I could also say that you are issuing a ?fatwa? FORCING the blind and those in cloudy weather to fast.
You're make it same as the blind, lame, or sick who don't have to fight. (4817)
801-2 Frowned and turned away because there came to him the blind man
2183 O you who believe! Observing As-Saum (the fasting) is prescribed for you as it was prescribed for those before you, that you may become Al-Muttaqun (the pious).
3335 ...the men and the women who observe Saum (fast)...
Nothing about blind and cloudy weather; actually they do it for their own soul/benefit.
2246...it is not the eyes that grow blind, but it is the hearts which are in the breasts that grow blind.
I suggest that you reread 2185 and see that it clearly says ?man shahid minkum? (whoever witnesses from amongst you). What is the purpose of saying whoever witnesses from amongst you, unless some amongst you will not witness? Who are the people AMONGST YOU (the believers) who will not witness according to you?
Reread 284 and see they are those who DO NOT "intent" to fast AMONGST YOU; e.g. the sick, old, or opt to feed the poor.
2184 And that you fast is better for you if only you know. (blind and those living in monsoons included)
You are misreading the data. The info gives the times when hunting is ALLOWED not when hunting is restricted. Now read again and see how the protection mostly overlaps except a few times for the animals whose hunting season starts in mid September and the difference is only for a couple of weeks on average.
I agree completely. So by the same token, the restriction is about protecting wild life all over the world from humans who hunt them for food during the period of the FOUR inviolable ?shahr? and not just around Mecca
Global restriction after the solstice allows killing in the other 8 months. Invite thousands of people to a vicinity and tell them hunt except for late summer/fall then see what happens to the wildlife as with the Buffalo and Arabian Onyx which breed year round.

I am still waiting for your response on the above question that i asked sometime back.
siki
Your question was answered sometime back; count #of dawns to sunsets (i.e. Quranic days) between moon cycles.
We're still waiting for you to answer how many days are they free to travel from "the day" of proclamation?
92 so travel in the earth four ashhurin (full moons according to you)?
93 And proclamation from God and His messenger to the people (on) day the hajj the greatest? -
Peace Eid,
I disagree with your translation and understanding including the meaning of shahr ramadhan.
When it comes to "ramadhan", it is not my translation or understanding. All Classical Arabic dictionaries clearly say that it means "hot/scorching". If you disagree with the meaning of "ramadhan" and think that it can mean "cold" then you are imagining a false meaning. If you don't know the meaning then you are in no position to agree or disagree with anything. Just so that you don't say that I am building a strawman, please tell us what you think "ramadhan" means or admit that you don't know the meaning.
You're make it same as the blind, lame, or sick who don't have to fight. (4817)

Arabian Onyx hunted to extinction
Why buffalo disappearedHow does restricting hunting only on the 8th to 13th of Dhu Al-Hijjah and only on people walking half-naked while wearing nothing but towels and only in the vicinity of Mecca would save the Arabian Onyx or the buffalo according to your timing?
Your question was answered sometime back; count #of dawns to sunsets (i.e. Quranic days) between moon cycles.
We're still waiting for you to answer how many days are they free to travel from "the day" of proclamation?
92 so travel in the earth four ashhurin (full moons according to you)?
93 And proclamation from God and His messenger to the people (on) day the hajj the greatest?Before I answer, who said it is from the day of proclamation in 93? The travel the land for four full-moons is already decreed before the proclamation in 93. The bigger "hajj" happened between the decree in 92 and the ending of the inviolable full-moons. So it must have happened on one of the inviolable full-moons.

Peace,
I will do for two Moon Cycles--each Cycle could equal 29 or 30 days.That's like a good boy;
So now you understand that there can not be a thing like "a Month" in God's system, because it would have created a dilemma for an individual. Moon cycle/cycles is the correct answer.
Ok one more Question, If you have to do something for one/two/three moon cycles, would you like to do it any day/tomorrow (picking up and remembering the shape of moon at night, till when the same returns) or, for your own ease you would like to delay your start from a certain prominent shape of moon?
(Before answering above, you must keep in mind the situation of people a few thousand years back)

In your eagerness to debunk, you are splitting hair at the nano level!o you and Ayman, and all of his followers sound like the Iman of the Suni Masjed that I used to go to...He used to get angry when I ask him a question that he does not have an answer for; moreover, he used to say that we should not think and use our brain to understand the Quran; however, I used to remind him that God wants us to use our brain and think logically, otherwise, he would make us live like animals or worse.
Please, I'm asking you to tech me without making fun of my ignorance.Can you take a deep breath and answer to the following

Peace,
If I want to count from tomorrow, it will depend on what is nature of this thing. If it is related to my Job, which uses today's calender, I will count from 9/16 to 12/15.
But if it is related to God's religion (e.g., fasting for three month), it will start from the Ramadan 27 to Dhu al-Hijjah 26. -
Peace belH
I am certainly not making fun of your ignorance that will be a sin.
but your getting annoying with your insistence on useless matters that will not add to your knowledge if answered, just mabe to your skills, and as I said before, I am not into spoon feeding...
I will give you a hint though from the gregorian calendar, if you were to know say how much money you earn every week, will you be able to work how much you earn pcm (that is per calendar month), and vice versa if you were to know how much money you earned every year, wouldn't you be able by the same token to work oout your earning per week and per calendar month?
This is basic accounting.
So do your own calculations , and if you are using a man made calendar, you will need a point of reference, i.e a start, you cannot evade that, and I think this is where your confusion (and Ayman's btw) comes from about debunking, and being right.
As for me, I am very satisfied, unless Allah shows me otherwise, that ramadan describes the full moon that marks the month just after the summer solstice.
We still need to work out a point (time) of reference to start the calendar, that does not depend on the moon, and I suggest the summer solstice itself...
and a space of reference (so we get a mean time so other areas of the globe compare to, like the current GMT, maybe JMT Jerusalem MT)...
or we can keep the current solar calendar and juxtapose on it a luni-solar one that takes into account that ramadan is the first full moon after the summer solstice (that could be more practical)...
or take Ayman suggestion, which I have nothing against, i.e staring the year with the actual ramadan full moon.
Any of these will require adjustments anyway, and this is accounting work... -
Peace Ayman,
The only issue is your lack of understanding. Everyone, even little kids, understand that day and night are related to the sun and have nothing to do with the moon.
First lesson it is not ?day and night? rather darkness (night) and day. Why do you insist on doing thing opposite of the God?s way? Why be so unappreciative. Did He not give you two eyes, a brain, two hands, education, shelter, food, and many more things? Please show your appreciation. Give thanks to God, the more you thank Him the more He gives.
Also most people with any kind of education know that the only way to use day and night to measure the year is if the year is taken as the interval between solstices (longest/shortest day/night).
Between solstice gets you half a year, I think you meant between two June solstices. We will overlook this minor mistake.
Nights and days are used for counting numbers of days within a moon cycle. 12 moon cycles = 1 year. It is that simple.
The reason people invested so much effort in establishing an accurate solar calendar is because an accurate solar calendar equates to making more money i.e. optimum plantation means more crop and more crop = more money. Solar calendar has nothing to do with the religion.
Despite all your useless ranting, you use terms like "sunset" (regardless of how it sets).
I am using sunset, sunrise, east, and west per Quranic point of view. Here are couples of examples.
5039 - Therefore, be patient in the face of their utterances, and praise and glorify your Lord before sunrise, and before sunset.
2 258 - Have you noted the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord, though GOD had given him kingship? Abraham said, "My Lord grants life and death." He said, "I grant life and death." Abraham said, "GOD brings the sun from the east, can you bring it from the west?" The disbeliever was stumped. GOD does not guide the wicked.
If you lock yourself in a dark room, it doesn't mean that it is night.
Are you suggesting that inside the dark room is a day? Or inside the grave is a day? Or at the center of the earth is a day? Or depth of an ocean is a day?
You don't seem to be able to understand even simple things like the fact that darkness and light are different concepts than night and day.
I do, I follow the Quranic definition. You follow the dictionary definition. Ayman is cooking his own goose.
79 29 ? He made its night dark, and brightened its morn.
Instead of sincerely trying to find the truth based on the great reading, your objective is to work backwards to justify your traditional timing.
You are not in a position to talk about truth because you follow your own misguided way and not God?s way. You are working backward you start with a dictionary meaning and then manipulate it to fit Quranic meaning. This is your ugly backward approach.
Here is an example
Quote from Ayman (Post by ayman on November 20, 2004, 035618 PM)
?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.?
And more evidence of such manipulation is readily available.
and cleaning up your heart from the idol/hero worship fetishes that you have for stone cubes and the so-called Sahaba.
I don?t worship idol. It is you who is trying to force yourself on to others as an idol. But you will not succeed. Truth shall overtake your falsehood.
You are committing sin by falsely accusing others of idol worship. Produce your evidence or shut-up. Otherwise you are eating the flesh of your dead brother, and enjoying it.
4912 - O you who believe, you shall avoid any suspicion, for even a little bit of suspicion is sinful. You shall not spy on one another, nor shall you backbite one another; this is as abominable as eating the flesh of your dead brother. You certainly abhor this. You shall observe GOD. GOD is Redeemer, Most Merciful.

dhulumatt and nuur
are two opposing ghaib matters that we cannot fully see in our universe, even if Allah has given us clues (with parables and analogies, as He often does to build up from things we know to things we do not know) as what He means by them,
they have nothing to do with Layl, and Nahar which are linked to the rotation of the Earth around the Sun, but which appear for all intents and purposes to an observer on Earth as the result of the Sun revolving around the Earth.
The Quran audience were not "geniuses" like you, but normal people who use normal day to day concept, now if you can deign move down from your aura and pedestal of great mufti, imam, amir, and knower, you will be able to communicate with us mere mortals.
The Quran was revealed to average intelligence mere mortals, who need guidance to help them in their daily lives, not to make that harder...
Otherwise, different versions would have been printed, ones for the intelligent like you, and ones for the idiots like the rest of us...
Hope you feel satisfied now, you can also use Saturn instead of the Moon and see if I care... -

I know many used some harsh words against each others within their response, but when one dedicates a post just to attack another this will be unacceptable. Those who repeat this may get up to a ban.

Peace Belal,
1-How many years are in the 30 month period that is mentioned in the above verse? (please simply write the number)
You are asking an irrelevant question. Either you have not understood a single post of this thread or you are playing dumb. What I am saying has nothing to do with manmade "months" and the word "month" (like week) never appears in the great reading. What do you mean by your vague "months". Do you mean February or Tammouz or Zhul Al-Higgah or an imaginary 30 day period, etc.? On the other hand, everyone understands what is meant by "full-moon".
2-How many Months (full moon to full moon period, or Waxing Crescent to Waxing Crescent) are in the 40 years period mentioned in the above verse? (Please simply write the number)
This will depend on how long before or how long after a full-moon or a waxing crescent you were born. Please tell us what your definition of month is. If it is from waxing crescent to waxing crescent then before asking others, tell us the answer to your question according to your own definition.
Peace,

You are contradicting yourself. You can lock yourself forever in a dark room during the day. This doesn't mean that there is no day and that the god stopped rolling the day and night.
Between solstice gets you half a year, I think you meant between two June solstices. We will overlook this minor mistake.
You know what I meant but you are not smart enough to get beyond labels and see the true nature of things. The true nature of things is that there will be exactly one year between the longest day/shortest night and the next longest day/shortest night. Same goes for the shortest day/longest night and the next shortest day/longest night.
Nights and days are used for counting numbers of days within a moon cycle. 12 moon cycles = 1 year. It is that simple.
No they are not. The moon cycle has nothing to do with the number of days. It has to do with the sighting or calculaiton of a certain phase of the moon. Thus, you don't always get the same number of days in a moon cycle.
The reason people invested so much effort in establishing an accurate solar calendar is because an accurate solar calendar equates to making more money i.e. optimum plantation means more crop and more crop = more money. Solar calendar has nothing to do with the religion.
Are you saying that crops and animals follow something different then "islam"?

Are you suggesting that inside the dark room is a day? Or inside the grave is a day? Or at the center of the earth is a day? Or depth of an ocean is a day?
Are you suggesting that the god stops merging day and night when you are inside a dark room? Whether you are in a dark room and whether you are dead or alive and whether humans existed or not, the god is merging day and night.
I do, I follow the Quranic definition. You follow the dictionary definition. Ayman is cooking his own goose.
79 29 ? He made its night dark, and brightened its morn.
You are not in a position to talk about truth because you follow your own misguided way and not God?s way. You are working backward you start with a dictionary meaning and then manipulate it to fit Quranic meaning.

You are committing sin by falsely accusing others of idol worship. Produce your evidence or shut-up.

Peace all,
It seems that both Ayaman and Nabster are not up for the challange and running away from answering very simple Two Questions in a straight forward way.Her are my humbled answers to the two questions
30 month (moon cycle) = 2.5 years
40 years = 40 x 12 moon cycle = 480 monthI know there are many of you out their who can identify that Ayman and his followers are trying to twist every Quranic verse to fit their ideology that has been promoted for the past 400 years or more...The ideology that represent Satin's Oath that he took upon himself to mislead Adams's sons and daughter from God's well-established guidance.
If I misunderstood Ayman and his followers, then let them prove me wrong by providing straight forward answers to my two CORRELATED Questions...otherwise, this Thread should be closed and lift for the readers to decide their own religion. Unless this happened by the help of Free-Minds Moderators, this thread will continue to be the battle ground for Satin to spread Stupidity and misguidance among Adam's Children.
May God complete His Light and Spread His Mercy upon all of those who are seeking his Truth. sun
