Hot/"ramadan" Answer
-
Peace, so you are saying that he would have had to not fight for 10 days per moon cycle (the period of the full moon per moon cycle),...in other words, he would have fought for 20 days, and stopped fighting for 10 days per moon cycle (he had to stop the war four times that are equal to 20 days each)...is this what he did, or did he wait for complete 4 moon cycles--about 118 days?
When this command was downloaded to his heart , he stopped fighting and waited for the first full moon to appear and when it did , he counted it as number one ,waited for the next full moon, counted it as second , waited for the next full moon and counted it as third, and then the next. When he saw 4th full moon , restriction was over .
Shahar is only one , and it is a Marker, there is nothing like shahar spreading over 10 days time period.
When ever there is a command of a single shahar, that is to be followed by a time period, (like in 2-185 ambiguity was clarified in 2-184 as ayayam ul madoodaat) , but if it is more than one , then it is the time period starting from next first visible, to the 2nd /third/ or 4th.

Peace,
Therefore, it is not too hard to calculate four Moon Cycles (29 to 30 days per cycle)--Months, as you thought before.
Now, which Full moon was the marker for the day in which fighting were to begin, taking into consideration that the prophet did not have the technology we have today

Or is it more easier to look for the new appearance of the moon-the Waxing Crescent?

If GOD wanted to make you do something for , let us say more than 30 50, or 90 days , It was difficult for the people back then to keep track of count, so he made it easier for them by counting a few full moons (two , three or 4 only)
Your pictures of full moon is a circular argument again, i have told you repeatedly , that , Shahar is, the first full moon which appears after the sun has set. so watch sun set, if there is a fullish moon ignore it, next day again watch sun set, if you see a full moon above horizon , again ignore it, do this exercise till the time you do not find a moon at sun set, now look for the moon rise, it will rise soon, This is Shahar.siki

How many moon cycles the prophet was allowed to fight for before the next 4 restricted Moon Cycles start again, in which fight should stop?
is it 8 moon cycles period or 9? -

sikiAre you proposing two different periods, 2 to 10 and 29 days' period, for the Shahar?
Do Ayman and the Imam agree with your proposal? Because it is a New proposal. -

is it 8 moon cycles period or 9?I dont know, nor am interested to teach you the meaning of this commandment, i am merely applying the shahar as a marker to calculate the time period in this aya, and trying to tell you that what ever it is , taking shahar as full moon marker makes sense.

So, this is what you understand out of my three line post ???
o Any other forum member understanding so?
confused Belh, Bro, Please share it with me , I won't tell any one, OK. ( Are you mentally disabled , or something?
You know i was suspecting it for long, and i already told you so in one of my previous posts quoted below.
there are only three possibilities, "you have a frozen brain", if not true , then an "idiotic attitude", and if both are not true, then i am afraid , as Nabeel said, "your mind is in complete grip of Satan", do something about it .

Peace Ayman,
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.
Not about the weather or how hot in certain parts of the N. Hemisphere which is opposite the Southern.
http//www.studyquran.co.uk/PRLonline.htm
Ra-Miim-Dal = to starve from cold, destroy, put in ashes, become dirty. ramad (pl. of armidatun) - ashes, fine and copious ashes
ramad n.m. pl. 1418similar those who disbelieve with their Lord their deeds as ashes...
Best meaning is derived from context not always dictionaries like to error imply deeds are physical ashes and not that their actions are starved like ashes blown in the wind.
Ra-Miim-Dad = to be burning, heat, be blasted by the sun. ramaDda - to sharpen (a spear) between stones, roast, pasture on a burning ground, burn. ramDda - scorching heat, burning hot (ground). ramadzan - the ninth month of Islamic calendar, the month of fast.

LL, V3, p 322, 323Shahr/month/time (start-end) Ramadan/the month of fast -- as in PERF 558 the month Jumada I of the year Twenty-Two.
So what is the purpose of saying "whoever witnessed the shahr amongst you"?
So they make an inward intent called shahida...
1926 so say that I made a vow to The Merciful a fast...
so who witness, give attestation, avouch, aver or declare from you the month so he should fast it.
How 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?
Certainly not by permitting global hunting for 8 months. The Arabian Onyx and all animals are saved by those who are constantly mindful of the reminder...
638 And not from a walker/creeper/crawler (creature) in the earth and nor bird flies with its two wings, except nations similar/alike/equal to you, We did not neglect in The Book from a thing, then to their Lord they be gathered.
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.
Who said on one of the days of the full moon which occur after sunset?
Explain one full moon (a marker) how the statement can be true?91-2 Annulment from God and His messenger to those you promised from the takers of partners, so travel in the earth four ashhurin?

I thought (Eid) that we talk of a different context when it is the same word...
but the word Ashes (ramadan) and Scorching Hot (ramadzan) are two distinct words, so how can you
use this as different context in the separate Ayats, the words are different, and have different meanings,
are you fooling around with God's meanings?You, like belH are playing with Allah's Signs so beware...
As for your other grievances, Ayman's several patient posts answered them at length, if you cannot, or more appropriately do not want to be convinced, fine...
but to be honest, someone reading the beginning of your post will not give much weight to your rationality, and will not take you seriously...Salam

elke-a cycle / cercle per definition has no beginning and no end.A cycle is a series of events that recur (in the same order).
The "new" moon is the marker because (it follows the "moonless" night, & it is the beginning of a "new" cycle. The reason shahr has been applied to the new moon is that it announces (underived meaning of shahr) the moon after the moonless night. Because the new moon marks the beginning of a month, shahr also denotes the same.

similar those who disbelieve with their Lord their deeds as ashes...
Best meaning is derived from context not always dictionaries like to error imply deeds are physical ashes and not that their actions are starved like ashes blown in the wind.The words and are two completely different words in Arabic with different spelling. What you are saying is like confusing ?mat? (a rug) and ?mad? (crazy) in English. Your time would be better spent in learning Arabic than in defending the nonsensical and arbitrary sectarian calendar.
Ra-Miim-Dad = to be burning, heat, be blasted by the sun. ramaDda - to sharpen (a spear) between stones, roast, pasture on a burning ground, burn. ramDda - scorching heat, burning hot (ground). ramadzan - the ninth month of Islamic calendar, the month of fast.
ramadan n. 2185
LL, V3, p 322, 323
Shahr/month/time (start-end) Ramadan/the month of fast -- as in PERF 558 the month Jumada I of the year Twenty-Two.It only became ?the month of fast? after 2185 was revealed. So you are using circular reasoning. An Arab hearing 2185 for the first time and trying to understand when this ?month? occurs wouldn?t use circular reasoning (CIRCULAR to fast during the month of fast). This is a post-Quranic meaning that doesn?t say anything about when to fast. Even using your own definition of "shahr" as "month", the pre-Quranic Arab listening for the first time to 2185 without any post-Quranic bias would understand it as a "month" of scorching heat.
So they make an inward intent called shahida...
1926 so say that I made a vow to The Merciful a fast...
so who witness, give attestation, avouch, aver or declare from you the month so he should fast it.Actually, the examples that you brought destroy your argument that ?inward intent? means ?shahida? since 1926 clearly says that such intent is called ? I made a vow ?. Also, according to you ?whoever didn?t make a vow? is not obligated to fast. So according to your logic, even fully able people in good health are exempted if they ?don?t make a vow?.
Certainly not by permitting global hunting for 8 months. The Arabian Onyx and all animals are saved by those who are constantly mindful of the reminder...
638 And not from a walker/creeper/crawler (creature) in the earth and nor bird flies with its two wings, except nations similar/alike/equal to you, We did not neglect in The Book from a thing, then to their Lord they be gathered.This doesn?t answer the question. Any hunting for sport would fall under spilling blood unnecessarily and is therefore prohibited anyway. Also, hunting endangered species would fall under corrupting the earth and therefore is also prohibited. What we are talking about is hunting for food and restricting it so that those species don?t become endangered. So the question is
How 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 be better for wild life than a global hunting restriction for the summer season?
Who said on one of the days of the full moon which occur after sunset?
Explain one full moon (a marker) how the statement can be true?
91-2 Annulment from God and His messenger to those you promised from the takers of partners, so travel in the earth four ashhurin?The god said so. He said that the ?hajj? occurs on ?ash-hur ma'aloomat?. So the ?hajj? occurs on known full-moons. The harvest full-moons are known to everyone and the people of the book had ?hagg? on the inviolable full-moon (Hagg Sukkot). On the other hand, there is nothing that anyone knew about the Islamic calendar in pre-Islamic times, including the start of the era, the order of the months or the names of the months (all of which the location of its months are based on). Moreover, 93 makes it clear that the restriction period is consecutive but according to your arbitrary false calendar they are not consecutive but are haphazardly arranged as months 11, 12, 1 and 7.
Travel in the land for four full-moons is the same if I tell you that I will see you after four full-moons. Nothing ambiguous about it.
Really, were they wired different and the minds of today smarter than the ancient philosophers, Pythagorean mathematicians, Sumerian stone movers/builders, and Mayan calendar makers?
Better tools make better tools and we have a bit more precision and understanding of physics today.Yet despite all the tools there are still disputes every year about when your so-called Ramadhan month occurs (including this year) but there was never any dispute about when the full-moon occurs.
Then your marker varies and is sometimes 98% full as the case in November this year....
No it doesn?t. You are saying this because you are used to disputes every year about the start of Ramadhan. Please provide any link or reference showing that there was ever any dispute about when the full-moon occurs. If you can?t provide such reference then you have proved that just because you ignore when it occurs, it doesn?t mean that everyone does.

1731 0.6 60.3 0.98As you can see, the moon on November 3 occurs 30 minutes after sunset (will appear to an earth bound observer even later). On the other hand, the full-moon on November 2 occurs only 13 minutes before sunset. More practically speaking though, unless you are in the middle of the sea, the full moon doesn?t actually appear to earth bound observers until it has risen about 2 degrees so it will be apparent at the same time as the sunset. There is no ambiguity that this is the full moon and any doubt will be cleared once one sees that the next day moon appears more than 30 minutes after sunset.
Again there was never any doubt about when the full-moon occurs, on the other hand there is doubt EVERY SINGLE YEAR about when the new moon crescent of the sectarian Ramadhan appears. This is indisputable, but you are clearly biased. So the way for you to prove your point is to bring an independent source showing that there is or ever was a dispute on when the full-moon occurs. On the other hand, there is a dispute EVERY SINGLE YEAR about when your so-called Ramadhan occurs. Here is the data for this year showing a variation of THREE days even within the same country or countries right next to each other

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, USA (some communities by actual local sighting)The above is on top of the fact that your so-called Ramadhan is 100% arbitrary to begin with since it is dependent on when month 1 was made to start, the arbitrary order of the months and the arbitrary start of the era. Those are indisputably THREE 100% arbitrary and manmade factors.
Instead of wasting your time trying to jealously prove that like the empirically verifiable 3 day dispute in your so-called Ramadhan there is dispute on when the full-moon occurs, I would suggest that you try to help Belal answer the following question. You guys are going to need all the help you can get. Bring a Billion sectarian supporting one another if you want but still you will never be able to do it. )
How your Ramadhan and your Hajj on the 8th to the 13th of Dhu Al-Hijjah and your restricted months (Muharam, Rajab, Dhu Al-Qi3da, Dhu Al-Hijjah, or whatever) are based purely on the god's words from the great reading and not on some unknown people or some guy named Umar arbitrarily deciding the order the months and the start of year 1 month 1 or on what the majority or Mullahs say or on Hadiths or any other such crap.
Peace,

theNabster, and by the grace of Allah, strives to be on the side of Allah, who is the Truth,
and not His Creation who are history or well below his Splendor, be they Messengers, Prophets, Angels,
Humans or Jinns.
Allah has given me great gifts, and I use them to understand as best as He wishes me to His Creation, and
His Quran.
If that includes your misnomer "cheer-leading" of an approach that is closer to what Allah wants in terms
of how we should perform the fast, so will it be, but your derogatory remark says more about you than it says about me...
Allah in His Mercy will, I pray, accept and reward us for all the fasts that we have made so far, but if we are made aware
that we are exaggerating in our Deen, and this is not how Allah wants us to conduct our affairs, then, there will be no excuse after that.
Because there are good convincing arguments of exaggerations put forward, and Ahl al Sunnah, Ahl al Shiaa, and other Sects/Cults are not taking heed, so soon, Allah might send mighty painful warnings, and I do not wish to be on the side of those on whom Allah's wrath will fall...
At the end of the day, each of us is on his/her own... -
Peace,
The answer shouts in your face.
After a first few observations, take the first day that came, and each year adjust...This is not the recipe for an accurate timing system. Ayman?s criterion is length of longest day?.. Thus any of equal longest days meets the criteria. This system will cause more disputes and fighting than the system Ayman is trying to replace.
Do nor overestimate those guys from the past. They were very good at figuring out patterns, what they lacked in technology, they made up with acumen and craftsmanship...
I see, you are accepting and giving credit to some people of the past (non believer) and not other (believers). Your logic is contradictory, so is your thought process. You favor non believer over the believer.

Peace guest
your mind is pretty much made up that anyone who does not agree with you is deceitful.
so i am tired arguing with you.
let us call it quits, and let Allah decides. He is the one who eventually will impose His Will
no matter what you, me, or Ayman and the rest of the Humans and Jinns put forward.
Good bye and have a nice life
Salam

Peace,
If Guest and you are really sincere and think that you are not stupid and are not misguided followers of satan, then instead of continuously spewing nonsense on this thread and being obsessed with me and what I think,
No one is obsessed with you. We are just responding to your illogical and irrational postulate. Perhaps you forgot that you authored the nonsense article at the begging of this thread. Your satanic pride and ego fooled you again; no one is obsessed with you.
just forget about me and explain to everyone the following
How your Ramadhan and your Hajj on the 8th to the 13th of Dhu Al-Hijjah and your restricted months (Muharam, Rajab, Dhu Al-Qi3da, Dhu Al-Hijjah, or whatever) are based purely on the god's words from the great reading and not on some unknown people or some guy named Umar arbitrarily deciding the order the months and the start of year 1 month 1 or on what the majority or Mullahs say or on Hadiths or any other such crap.
Looks like you have abandoned your own theory and off to a new topic. Now that you cannot defend you work anymore you want to change the subject. Why are you running like zebras?
Here is a rebuttal of your saying
?purely on the god's words from the great reading?
The God tells us that we can accept the teaching of scholar provided it is in line with the Quran. Unlike you the believer will not mislead the mankind.
9122 - When the believers mobilize, not all of them shall do so. A few from each group shall mobilize by devoting their time to studying the religion. Thus, they can pass the knowledge on to their people when they return, that they may remain religiously informed.
Below is another example that justifies acceptance of knowledge from others believers. As you see some are more knowledgeable than other. You are not among the knowledgeable because you are a dishonest person.
2715 - We endowed David and Solomon with knowledge, and they said, "Praise GOD for blessing us more than many of His believing servants."
Finally, the word of the day for you (Ayman).
981 - Those who disbelieved among the people of the scripture, as well as the idol worshipers, insist on their ways, despite the proof given to them.
986 - Those who disbelieved among the people of the scripture, and the idol worshipers, have incurred the fire of Gehenna forever. They are the worst creatures.

Peace guest,
this is exactly what I meant by my last post, anyone who disagrees with you is now a kafeer too, are you sure you are not an ultra salafist by any chance?
the history of islam is filled with bad fatwas by scholars who created mayhem in the ranks of believers.
-who let Ali be assassinated like a dog at Kufa?
-was Hussein killed by muslims yes or no?
-was Hassan poisoned by order of a muslim yes or no?
-who sided with the crusaders on the 9th century and gave Jerusalem to them, a muslim faction yes or no?
-how about the excesses of baghdad, and the painful retribution of the mongol invasion with all books and knowledge
destroyed, and scholars killed with their skulls made into pyramids by playful mongonl soldiers - why this ignominous end,
where there not muslims among them, yes or no?
-who is to blame for the debacle of the Moors (Muslims) in Spain, where they divided into little fiefdoms, fighting one another, in contradiction
with the Quranic injunction that they should not divide into sects? and got seduced with women and pleasures?
-and closer to home, who again handed Jerusalem again to the British Empire, and help to finalise the fall of the Muslim Ottoman Empire (were they not the Wahabbis whom you now take as patrons, beside Allah?).Now let us go back in History and even if it is not fully forensically authenticated, how about when Mohamed was very sick and close to death, his companions were discussing near his room the person who will replace him, and Umar put himself forward despite the majority choosing Abu Bakr, despite the pain, the Prophet came out of the room crawling, and looked very angry, showing his discontent, the Companions looked at it as a Sign that Abu Bakr, who was reported to be humble, should it be...
Does this strike as infallible humans?, just because they are believers?
You look at the Believers of old, and give them God like attributes of infallibility, beware, this is shirk, only Allah is infallible.
And being a Believer is not a permanent state, it has its ups and downs as well.
What you refer to as study the Deen in The Quran, is improve in knowledge in comprehension of what was given you, so you can apply it better... Life and its multiple challenges is dynamic, you want to make it static, and live like a zombie, no wonder, most of the wahabbis/ sunnis / shias / etc will only ever have one motto, destroy what you cannot understand.
and you seem to be clearly one of them, living in the shadows of the mistakes of those before you...
And by the way, if there was only one single true real believer on this Planet Earth, Allah will have some pity on us... as it is we will keep on suffering as the people of Moses, before Moses, slaves that we are... -
Salam nabster,
-was Hussein killed by muslims yes or no?
-was Hassan poisoned by order of a muslim yes or no?
-who sided with the crusaders on the 9th century and gave Jerusalem to them, a muslim faction yes or no?the answer to all the above is a categoric no since a Muslim by definition is a person who submits to the laws of God (hence, someone who does not submit is not a "muslim" at that moment and is no longer under God's divine protection).
Now let us go back in History and even if it is not fully forensically authenticated, how about when Mohamed was very sick and close to death, his companions were discussing near his room the person who will replace him, and Umar put himself forward despite the majority choosing Abu Bakr, despite the pain, the Prophet came out of the room crawling, and looked very angry, showing his discontent, the Companions looked at it as a Sign that Abu Bakr, who was reported to be humble, should it be...
Does this strike as infallible humans?, just because they are believers?What nonsence! the prophet and those who follow him would uphold the laws of governance as outlined in the Quran (leadership by consultaion and debate - never by sucession). the story is clearly fabricated.
-
Salam Layth,
Indeed it might be, or it might be not, because consultation includes disapproval of the Leader, and according to Aisha (who purportedly related the story), most of the companions and the Prophet wanted Abu Bakr, but a small group and Umar who are very influential pushed Umar forward, who was well known to get things done (I have nothing against Umar, I have never known the guy, apart from through Seera and Hadith stories, and we know how unreliable these could be).
So it could have been a matter of correcting his aspirations by the Prophet to Umar, do not forget people do get carried away, and a Believer can be misled to be thinking he is the best for the job, and tries to win the majority towards him, well if this account is true, the Prophet seems to have put a brake on that...
But as all these accounts, we will never know exactly, all these people died, and the only account we can accept as hopeful Believers, are what was recorded in the Quran...
