    Peace Noon.
    Yes. That is the right answer.
    You are wrong on 2234. There is no 14. There is 4 and 10. Look again, it does not say Arbaata Ashara Ashhoor(14) in the verse?
    There is Arbaata Ashhoor-4 months - Wa Ashra- And 10.
    2234

    You asked an off topic question to start with.
    I finish here.
    Sorry Nk for the off topic.
    GOD bless you.
    Peace.

      si di,

      How would you translate it. You mean Prophet Noah lived among his people long period except 50 years?

      Peace,

        Dear NK,

        Thats how i understand the versThe Region were he lived was longway habitated by humans, how Long we dont know.But since Adam i guess and till Noah pboh was born ,grew up and left the Region the quran uses the the Expression 1000 sanat.

        So when Noah was born till he migrated 50years passed but when he started his Mission ,i dont know.

        He had a Family,Wife and children and because his wife did not embark with him on the ship i sugest that his Children were already adults otherwise it would be ravenmother.

        Maybe The children were married too at least his first born child (bible call him Sem).He probably started his Mission with 45years when his wife left ,that would mean the children are in their Teens and young adults when he is 50years.

        The quran does not say boys "daqr" or youngster "fiyatun" so i came to this conclusion.And to build boaot for a few people with a few Animals would take if his children helped maybe round about half a year.

          Is this opposite of what your saying

          And indeed We had sent Noah towards his nation;

          Whereupon he lived among them for a thousand lunar years save fifty solar years.

          For reason/in consequence of contradicting him flood seized them while they were persistently evil doers.

          http//haqeeqat.pk/English%20Tafsir%20e%20Haqeeqat/00.%20Individual%20Ayaat/029/029/029.14-27.htm

          Peace, I need to research this more believe they're all the same especially pregnancy and weaning calculations which vary on the cutoff depending if using solar or lunar years.

          It's clear mun/year; mayni/year two (i.e. singular and two/dual) and sinina/years (i.e. plural) are the same if referring to "number" whereas sanatan is used if referring to age/epoch.

          e.g. Perf558 says shahru jumada the first of sanatin twosome and twenty (i.e. year 22 of that dating system).

            Peace, it always refers to "solar" year/s.

            1 year count 9126 min/year (solar); likewise (100) 2259 hundred min/year (solar)
            2 year count 3114 mayni/year (solar) two

            pl. years count
            105 l-sinina/the years (solar)
            1242 several (i.e. 3 to 9) sinina/years (solar)

            sanatin refers to "collective" time-span

            mayni/year two (solar) calculations...

            3114 and separation his in/within (< less than) mayni/year two (solar)
            4615 and carry his and separation his thirty shahran/lunar cycle of

            p = pregnancy time/carry his (variable)
            w = weaning time/separation his (variable)

            w < 731 days {3114 (2 x solar years / day) = 730.5 days}
            886 days ? p < 731 days {4615 30 x (lunar months / day) = 885.92 days}
            p = 886 days ? 731 days = 155+ days

            30 shr = pregnancy + weaning
            (days) days/mts days/mts
            886 = 154/5.20 + 732/24.80 < mayni/year two (solar) 730.5 days = False
            886 = 156/5.28 + 730/24.72 < mayni/year two (solar) 730.5 days
            886 = 177/6.00 + 709/24.00
            886 = 179/6.06 + 707/23.94 Rumasia and Hiba
            886 = 207/7.00 + 679/23.00
            886 = 236/8.00 + 650/22.00
            886 = 266/9.00 + 620/21.00 average pregnancy
            886 = 295/10.00 + 591/20.00
            886 = 325/11.00 + 561/19.00
            886 = 354/12.00 + 532/18.00
            886 = 375/12.70 + 511/17.30 baby Penny

            https//www.verywell.com/worlds-smallest-preemies-2748663

            Hence possibility of survival is 155+ days (22 weeks!) pregnancy require longer weaning time.
            Whereas average pregnancy (9 months) need 21 months weaning; 10 month requires 20, etc.

            mayni/year two (lunar) calculations ...

            w < 709 days {3114 (24 x (lunar months / day) = 708.73416 days}
            886 days ? p < 709 days {4615 30 x (lunar months / day) = 885.92 days}
            p = 886 days ? 709 days = 177+ days

            30 shr = pregnancy + weaning
            (days) days/mts days/mts
            886 = 174/5.90 + 712/24.10 < mayni/year two (lunar) 708.7 days = False
            886 = 177/6.00 + 709/23.999 < mayni/year two (lunar) 708.7 days
            886 = 207/7.00 + 679/23.000
            886 = 236/8.00 + 650/22.000
            886 = 266/9.00 + 620/21.000 average pregnancy

            Therefore above cutoff is below 177 days (6 lunar months) or only 25 weeks pregnancy.

              sanatin refers to "collective" time-span

              whereas sanatan is used if referring to age/epoch.

              According to your Analysis you agree that Noah did not aged 1000 years`?

                si di,

                I am more incline towards your interpretation of Alf Sinatin means long period but I cant find the interpretation of exception particle attached to this verse which stopped me accepting completely. How do we translate it?

                I have checked other verses, like in Chapter 2 verse 96 means long period, in chapter 97 verse 3 (I think) also means abundance or long period, also I can't remember the verse but in somewhere in Quran, God is talking about his one day as a long period (Alf Sinatin).

                I am sure other people on this group will either endorse or oppose the theory.

                Peace,
                NK

                  2914 and surely sent we of noah of to folk his so remain among them thousand (1,000) sanatin/age (epoch) ill/except khamsna/fiftieth (50th) man/year (solar) of so seizes them the deluge and they were unjustly

                  950 would be (tis?a mi?a khamsun) and does NOT say khamsun/fifty (50)

                  Likewise, it says man/year of (?a year?) NOT mun/year

                  e.g. 937 allowing it man/year of (?a year?)
                  and prohibiting it man/year of (?a year?)

                  Perhaps 1,000 sanatin/age only khamsna/fiftieth (50th) man/year of (?a year?)?

                  i.e. 1,000 / 50 = 20 years total

                  here are the rest?

                    peace, slight clarification nuance in translation; usage depends on context if singular, dual, plural, group, etc.

                    mun/year (solar)
                    sinina/years (solar)
