New article: salat timings as per The Quran
-
peace jkhan,
I appreciate you trying to critique, but can you make one point at a time?Also please ensure you have read my article carefully because you say things like this "But for waqas "ila ghashak AL Lail" and "zulafan minal AL lail" are identical.." which clearly shows you have mistaken my view.
Salam Waqas...
Brother I did read your article or not is immaterial .. Coz I have read the Quran and it has guided me about Salat .. In addition your claim of Two Salat is not new for me... Coz I have read all your articles... But I never was against what you write which is in line with Quran... Unfortunately not this time...
Regardless of whatever written in your article, the truth from your side is two salat is your acceptance..
That's why I question you...
For you 1778 and 11114 both Salat Isha... That's what you say with transperancy....
So brother... 11114 and 1778 is same for you coz even how much you try to say No, it won't work out.. Coz Isha Salat has a timing and that timing for you is 11114 and 1778... But how different both the verses you failed to grasp (How come one take the same Salat by both the verses while both verses entirely different). So what is the point of asking me better read your article or saying you've mistaken my view..
Truth is You have mistaken horribly the three Salat and stuck in it without being able to get out of it...I have given my knowledge of Quran to people... And it is not my intention to grab your 10$ ... Hope those who reflect would reflect...

Anyhow.. I don't know whether you believe in Quran order of revelation... If you don't believe in, then bring a single error according to Quran order of revelation and how the verses revealed.. I assure you, you will never be able to indicate a single.. For example fasting... If God said fast in Quran that verse cannot be before the verse when to fast..(verse may be before if in same chapter but not in another chapter) coz all chapter has order of revelation...
Salam jkhan,
Can you elaborate further regarding "Quran order of revelation" that you mentioned here? Perhaps in separate thread in order not to mix with the topic in this thread.
Wassalam,

Peace.. Everyone...
How can Duluki shams be called as time of Isha.. Even if you insist that Duluki shams = sunset... Is SUNSET equal to ISHA.... Boy.. That's a big lie against Arabs and pure Arabic language.... Do you belie language of Arabic? That's far worse than conventional people who took Isha at its proper time...
Pay attention to 11114 carefully...
According to waqas... Two ends are point of Sunrise and Sunset... So Isha Salat timing is sorted out as the moment sunset UNTILL whatever of their choice of darkness.. So moment of sunset is = Isha literally ... That's a blasphemy to quran.. Has it ever recorded in any Arabic dictionary OR even in Quran that moment of sunset is = Isha... Bring evidence...According to waqas the very starting point of Isha Salat (based on his research of both 1778 and11114) is Sunset,
Then logically the moment of salat Fajr undeniably Sunrise... thats incontrovertible... That's how TWO ENDs work out for waqas ... But unfortunately that's not the instructions of God... (That's why I always reiterate that TWO ENDs are TWO TWILIGHTS period... And From there, inwards to night period(Zulafan minal Lail) .. That's why while fasting, no sex after white thread at Fajr no food no drinks and not UNTILL sunrise... Huge difference is there with definition of Fajr and sunrise...Is Sunrise equal to FAJR... Is minute/s before sunrise called Fajr in Arabic... We got to go in line with Arabic and the nature where quran was revealed when it comes timing reference and not the north pole climate.. Will extreme north pole climate ever suite for fasting or Salat instructions throughout the year?
If one take the meaning TWO ends as point of SUNRISE and SUNSET then I am afraid they will be in great dilemma to figure out the time of Fajr.....
Question arise in this way...
** Do they have to wait till sunrise as indication for beginning or ending .. That's far from possibility...
** So in that case why they wait till sunset and immediately pray at the other End.. Isha...See how simple and how perfect if you take two ends are Two Twilights periods..
So instructions are very clear and undoubtedly befit to wording of Isha and Fajr in Arabic...
Two ends prayers are not in two twilights..... Both in the near parts (zulafan) of night... That's perfect period of Isha and Fajr in definition of Arabic ...
Your claim of Isha and Fajr never befits with wording of God and not the given time frame... And not even Arabic language... If one asked you to come at Isha, will you go and knock the door while sun setting? Lol.. You have to be none Arab to do that..
Use common sense in 2458 ... Instead of mentioning BEFORE FAJR salat permission, it is more befits before SUNRISE.. Coz last point of Fajr Salat according to you is sunrise... So kids needs to take permission before sunrise... Coz kids should know till sunrise parents are permitted to pray Fajr... So it is far better indication than before Fajr coz it's so manifest for kids coz no salat after sunrise .. So easy to confusion.. .
Meanwhile if one prayed Isha at the setting of sun then still full of light in the sky that is privacy period.. That's super bizzare... Nonsensical... reason of privacy is completely complicated by your timing brother waqas.. That doesn't befit according to the nature of where the quran was revealed.. At least there it takes 45-60 Minutes in summer...
Mid day privacy is basically coz of tiredness and heat ...but privacy of after isha and before Fajr may not be the same.. So kids worth asking permission...Note... "put aside your clothes" ... This is but SUMMER and not WINTER ...
So this verse will never befit for winter season... Coz it is very unlikely that people would REMOVE Clothes midday during Winter and rest. . That's very inhuman... Why I say so is... clothes removing is not at all mentioned for before Fajr and after Isha.. Not at all required to state..... Isn't it? ..
But specifically why mentioned removing clothes removal at midday as if they won't remove clothes after isha till Fajr?
It is crystal clear the purpose of removing clothes at midday is coz of Heat.. They may remove depend on each.. Even they may not remove... So no privacy.. Is clothe removal for sex then does God force them to have sex at midday ? No way... So Is it must to remove cloths since God ordered three privacy times? No way... If they don't remove then there is no harm / sin in them... It's normal time as other time...
But what about after isha and before Fajr? It is must privacy in my understanding... Kids taking permission is mandatory... And kids and parents mingling during this time is not even encouraged.. But for necessity with permission ....
Note the addition in the verse "There is no fault/sin/harm in you or them, apart from these (three times), that you go about one to the other..So had God mentioned in the verse 2458 as AFTER Salat Wusta privacy ... Too many confusions would have risen...
1..How Kids will judge that parents are having rest after Al Salat Al wusta OR without Salat... How even when they get up after rest they(kids) make sure that it is unrestricted time to mingle... Coz their only indication is Salat wusta if God mentioned so.. That's why it is not opted by God using salat... But other two Salat perfect... Before Fajr people in deep sleep and may be untidy with clothing... And after isha is of course night and needless to say.. And the time frame for both is very limited so kids will know by this time parents would have prayed.. So for after isha restrictions imposed and after Fajr restrictions lifted...
But it is impossible to use the word Salat for third privacy at midday.. So God rightly not used Salat ...2.. Had God mentioned after Salat wusta privacy.. Then it will become mandatory that they Pray First then rest or remove clothes.. That's far from the truth of the time frame given by verse 1778...
If anyone has doubt of order of Salat.. Note 2458 how orderly God stated..
God mentioned first Salat Fajr... That's the start of day... Then mid day privacy (note above why Salat cannot be indication)
Third isha Salat and the day ends...
God could have mentioned first isha Salat then midday and then Fajr... But not.. He knows what is the order... No need to confuse...Further if anyone has concern why the third Salat is called Wusta... Then my only answer is God has assigned two salat at twyo ENDs so the third Salat definitely befit between those two ENDs.. Coz it is clear according 2458 the Fajr Salat is first of the day...
Salat are Fajr > Wusta < Isha ...
Why wusta is emphasised.. Fajr and isha are falling in a more convenient time... Starting and end time... But wusta is falling busy time and vulnerable with worldly desires. .. It is not surprising why God revealed salat wusta first 1778...Thanks for reading..

peace jkhan,
Rather than making baseless claims, I recommend actually citing some evidence.
How can Duluki shams be called as time of Isha.. Even if you insist that Duluki shams = sunset... Is SUNSET equal to ISHA.... Boy.. That's a big lie against Arabs and pure Arabic language.... Do you belie language of Arabic? That's far worse than conventional people who took Isha at its proper time...
Pay attention to 11114 carefully...
According to waqas... Two ends are point of Sunrise and Sunset... So Isha Salat timing is sorted out as the moment sunset UNTILL whatever of their choice of darkness.. So moment of sunset is = Isha literally ... That's a blasphemy to quran.. Has it ever recorded in any Arabic dictionary OR even in Quran that moment of sunset is = Isha... Bring evidence...Who knows Arabic language better jkhan or Arabic lexicons? Quote from lexicons
isha - commencement of darkness, early night, dusk, evening.
Fa-Jiim-Ra = ...dawn/sunrise/daybreak
That's how TWO ENDs work out for waqas ... But unfortunately that's not the instructions of God... (That's why I always reiterate that TWO ENDs are TWO TWILIGHTS period
That's what I'm saying! Quote from my article
salat al fajr / salat (of) the dawn/morning
As it's name suggests it is done around dawn (morning twilight). This can correctly be deemed one edge of the daytime and also involves a proximity of the night. Note that twilight is considered part of the night as per Quran.
To clarify this timed-salat begins at morning twilight and ends when any part of the sun first appears above the horizon (i.e. end of morning twilight)
salat al isha / salat (of) the dusk/evening
As it's name suggests it is done around dusk (evening twilight). This can correctly be deemed one edge of the daytime and also involves the proximites of the night. Note that twilight is considered part of the night as per Quran.
To clarify this timed-salat begins at evening twilight and ends with dark night (i.e. end of evening twilight).I never read the rest of your post, sorry, as I consider your critique quality thus far to be poor. Hence why I recommended one point at a time to make things easier.

Peace Wakas.
You say ,quote
I agree that in 5039 it could mean "before the setting / passing away / departing / retiring / removing /disappearing / remoteness (of the sun)." and the superficial understanding how you take it i.e. "sunset" (sun below horizon) is one possibility.
BUT as has been shown previously this word doesn't pinpoint at what exact point of this process it is referring toExplain how it could mean any other point than the ending of the setting? i.e sunset.
I have explained this and it makes a lot of sense ,
A deadline of before Al Ghurub pin points the exact time, End of daytime and beginning of night. i.e sunset Just like "
"before tului Al Shams" pinpoints at exactly the end of nightime and beginning of daytime. i.e sunrise.
The only logical explanation.As for this, quote
The reason I wrote "setting of the sun / sunset" in the article
http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/salat-timings-Quran.html
Is because I take "setting of the sun" to mean when the sun disc touches down on the horizon (i.e. rubs/press it, i.e. duluk) and "sunset" as when the sun is below the horizon. It just so happens "duluk al shams" could mean both. Unlike you (and some others) I'm not going to make a baseless claim it can only mean one thing. Such a claim is utter nonsense and damages the credibility of anyone who claims such a thing.With no evidence from Qoran, it remains your claim. And baseless at that just like you call the claims of others.. And your credibility remains intact? Not logical.
Brother. You claimed your work was without errors, now feww posts down the line you are adding these, quote"In any case I have updated the article and added the words in red to help clarify for you and others"
"But I am partly to blame as I never clarified it DIRECTLY in my article and simply linked to an article which explained it further. I should have known some people wouldn't bother reading up on it before attempting to criticise. I may have to include that info directly at some point."
"In any case, my point regarding evidence still stands, if you take 1778 as do salat at A (i.e. noon in your view) then it would be nice to have some examples from Quran. The best examples would be other verses with a command X li A ila B, but there may be no other examples, I haven't researched it as it's a difficult thing to research.".
I am afraid that your article is your view, you may insist these are not really errors and argue around them, but the bottom line is that a sound argument with no errors does not require any tweeks or change.
For me, you are entitled to claim and stick with your claim, but can you see my point?
I explained "duluk" poin is a declinet, if a decline of the sun starts at Noon, just before sunset and sunset are points way after noon. And l to me you have not provided evidence from Qoran that your timing is the right point of decline or that it means any of them?
Remember you have not researched this point?So it is understandable I see the two points of "sun setting and time frame as errors.. My aim in answering you is to make this point.
GOD bless you.

Peace everyone ...
Concerns may be oozing to certain people.. what exactly Quran orders to pray and at what times... Why it is so hard and why so many contradictory convictions within those who accepts Quran alone for guidance..
But God with manifest verse stated, those are the successful who guard the Salat and they are believers.. 231-10
So, if we are to adhere to what Waqas claim either we are skipping one salat or doing extra salat/s... Whatever we do we go against God's instructions unless we opted the right guidance... Definitely it is not optional.. Isn't it?
The reason is.. God insist as an order to Guard the Salawat (prayers) 2238 meanwhile God claim those who guard salawat are believers and the successful ones 231-10..
Isn't there a serious issue creeping in then?.
Dear brothers and sisters.. Can we say to God ...
*** We were not aware what is written in Quran so we prayed 5 times...
*** We thought it is mentioned three times.. So we did continue..
*** W heard from people like waqas that it is 2 times so we skipped day prayer...I just furnished possible statements that people may utter on the day of ressurection if we chose the wrong option...
So, people go for the best option and the best explanation within Quran and follow what God guides you with..
If everything is right, then there is no need for God to provide fixed timing for Salat and reiterate to guard them..
4103 "... ..... Verily, the PRAYER(singular) is enjoined on the believers at fixed hours" ...
Does it mean only one salat per day? Not at all..Ultimately, nothing is argued or bought into table comprehensively by the author of the article...
So, I do remain with my understanding and continue to perform three times...
May Allah guide us all which takes us to Janna..That's all I have to say on this topic... Had there been any reasonable logic in the debate, surely I would have paid attention to it.. But there is nothing...
Nothing more to say on this topic... -
Salam Everyone,
i think this video explaination by Brother Joseph Yaseen of Quran Centric will best explain this issue.
https//www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKoYRWrsBiQ
Thank you.
Salam
Peace..
That's not true dude... That's far from Quran... Quran is more than sufficient for me...
You can follow, if you are satisfied with it and be responsible for what you do..
God guide you and me and all.. -

Peace All.
This subject has been running on this forum and on multiple other forums for years.
I have read thousands of views ,most claiming they have an answer to
1- Salat according to Qoran, its timing, contents and objective.First let me make a clear statement to do with minimum salvation,as this is important for our priority
I see the deen as a state of mind. A mind that is in tune / in a relation with GOD the creator and respects all the creation. A mind that follows the Sirat Al Mustaqueen as defined in 6{151-153.}
"Inna Deen Inda Allah Al Islam" and "Ihdina Tariq Al Mustaqueem"
It is also a choice. "La Ikraha Fi Deen" .GOD does not force this deen on anyone.
Fa Man Chaa Fal Umin Wa Man Chaa Falyakfur?"Whoever want to believe...and whoever want to disbelieve."If one wants to become a Muslim ,then they should have no objection to following the best path instructed by GOD in Qoran, if they claim to follow Qoran/believe in it.
GOD does not expect people to pretend or to force themselves to do things they do not like or agree with. It is better if they were honest with themselves and only did things that make sense to them or things that they agree with.
That is better in the sight of GOD.
There is nothing wrong with having a private debate with GOD about all your doubts. GOD is listening.
If you want to take a journey with GOD .it is private and very personal between you and your creator.If you want to go it alone or rely on others that is also your freedom of choice.. But you are accountable for having the faculties(eyes ears and brain) GOD gave you to use. If one misuses them they have only themselves to blame.
For me it is a no brainer. I do not see a way out except back to GOD at the end.
So by choice and I am glad I realised this. I willingly decline my "Amana" other choice. I submit to the Lord of the universe and seek his friendship, light and guidance direct .
I do not see any problems with following the best path from Qoran s instruction. GOD has made his deen easy once the trial period of "making the decision" to enter into an agreement with the creator is over After all ,GOD will want to "try you" if you mean it or not!!!.
Of course my human instinct is fighting this surrender daily but I cannot go back on my covenant/agreement .In short we are free but people make a problem for themselves by conforming to things they doubt or do not make sense to them.
Your decision alone is required ,nobody else will bare your burden whether you rely on them or not.
GOD guides and teaches all the true believers.Coming back to "The Salat" , I have spent years investigating many views, especially those views from the specific "Qoran alone" brothers and sistyers. All asking " where can I find how and when to do "The Salat" from Qoran?. Yet after giving their views most fail to find the meaning and details of their claims using Qoran, which they were asking the exact thing in the first place.
The only exception that had a solid argument that was coherent and used all Qoran in context about "the salat" was this-according to my research-
https//submission.org/Where_can_we_find_Salah.htmlThe questions from everyone will keep coming about "The salat like
I wonder if someone has no limbs ,how they going to do it?.
I wonder if someone has an emergency to attend or forgets... , how are they going to do it?.
I wonder if someone is on the moon, how are they going to do it.?
I wonder if someone is at the north pole, how are they going to do it?
...etc.
All these have been taken care of in Qoran, if one is not capable or enable to be on earth or...Then they are excused. They do it in their head if they can or not at all. GOD is forgiver most merciful.The deen is not about rules and regulations ,it is about intentions , good morals and good work first and foremost.
The other helping items are there for the ones that can.. Each needs to follow GOD s instructions to the best of their abilities.
We cannot fool GOD or look for excuses. GOD is aware of each one of us . whether we are capable, where we are and whether we hear and obey him .
Or do you think we are left without GOD distinguishing our honesty and true intentions? Therefore you do what you can to the best of your knowledge!"The Salat" , sawm, Zakat, ...etc are a helping hand from GOD to grow our souls more for thiose who wish to come even closer to GOD.
Our views, can only look "without errors" to us, Each thinking that their " cleverness and logic of their Qoran study" has worked.
GOD s logic is not our logic, that is why GOD keeps sending messengers.
Is there more to come from Qoran?
I will say yes ,until GOD decides the end for all of us
If you want to do "the salat" search for your own version or carry on with what you have. You have the means to decide for yourself..
GOD bless you all.
Peace. -
Ok, now I understand what you are saying about time frame. Here is a little tip, why not clarify and say something like this
Do you take "time frame" to mean- one continuous length of time, i.e. that whole period is the length of the timed-salat
or - a time period in which one can do the timed-salat, i.e. it does not have to be for the whole length of the time period.
See how easy that was?
I take it as (1) but as I said before, in my view, the Quran is giving an exemplar/model to follow.
In any case, my point regarding evidence still stands, if you take 1778 as do salat at A (i.e. noon in your view) then it would be nice to have some examples from Quran. The best examples would be other verses with a command X li A ila B, but there may be no other examples, I haven't researched it as it's a difficult thing to research.
Peace
I agree that the duration of one Salat is given in 1778 (From A to B(darkness of night))in addition to ratifying 11114 where the point of time when Salat is due (At A which is close to night) is given.
If we don't have a standard duration or time length of a Salat then how do we shorten it ?
4101 If you are mobilized in the land, then there is no harm that you shorten the contact prayer, if you fear that the ingrates will try you. The ingrates are to you a clear enemy.
- one continuous length of time, i.e. that whole period is the length of the timed-salat
-
peace GL,
The reason I wrote "setting of the sun / sunset" in the article
http//mypercept.co.uk/articles/salat-timings-Quran.html
Is because I take "setting of the sun" to mean when the sun disc touches down on the horizon (i.e. rubs/press it, i.e. duluk) and "sunset" as when the sun is below the horizon. It just so happens "duluk al shams" could mean both. Unlike you (and some others) I'm not going to make a baseless claim it can only mean one thing. Such a claim is utter nonsense and damages the credibility of anyone who claims such a thing.Peace Wakas
So do you mean the starting point of Salat is as soon as Sun touches the horizon if you mean "duluk al shams" as rubbing of sun?
-
-
Note that twilight is considered part of the night as per Quran. To clarify this timed-salat begins at morning twilight and ends when any part of the sun first appears above the horizon
-
To clarify this timed-salat begins at evening twilight and ends with dark night
Above 1 & 2 are your research for Salat Fajr and Isha respectively...
Subsequently First flaw is you have mentioned Sun in no. 1 and not at all mentioned sun in no 2 ... Twilights are three types of three periods depend on the visibility... .. So better include "any part of Sun disappears" identical to no.1 rather than state merely twilight... if one tenth of the sun disappeared no one can say that is Night or Day.. Can we?
.........
Note that twilight is considered part of the night as per Quran.
Above is your claim that QURAN say so....
If that is right then it should befit for every circumstance when we consider timing related activities... For example Fasting...When God ordered us to fast?
2187 explains it with one of the crystal clear manifest verses..
According to it.. When the white thread from/of Fajr appears stop eating and drinking (and all what is not allowed while fasting).. Note here the verse 2187 doesn't say when some part of physical sun appears then stop.. Clearly not the case.. And to end the fasting Ila Lail (not relevant for this topic, so I discard)...So according to Quran it only allows as I have many times stated in this forum having sex is only an act in the night of fasting and not during day... .thats indisputable.. 2187 ..
But unfortunately for waqas.. Night is untill any part of Sun apears.. That is to say Sunrise...
So my long felt question is does Allah allow having sex untill any part of Sun appears while fasting? while clearly saying sex is at night of fasting? So what is night? If we take until sun rise then prove me that I can't have sex until sunrise while fasting...Don't say this is not relevant to your topic salat timing... Of course relevant coz your claim of twilight as part of night as well twilight ends sunrise ...
Is Quran contradicts or your understanding or mine for that matter?
-
-
- one continuous length of time, i.e. that whole period is the length of the timed-salat
or - a time period in which one can do the timed-salat, i.e. it does not have to be for the whole length of the time period.
See how easy that was?
I take it as (1) but as I said before, in my view, the Quran is giving an exemplar/model to follow
Above is your claim.. Salat is a constant time period.. For example from sunset to darkness of night... Or darkness to sunrise...
That's impossible..
For example if you do Salat darkness untill sunrise and complete Salat daily, then how would you praise the Lord before sunrise as it is ordered to praise Lord 20130 etc... If you are busy with Salat until sunrise how would you praise Lord other than Salat?
Also if you are busy from darkness to to sunrise in Salat constantly, then how would you recite quran at dawn...?
Coz that period is completely utilized for Salat - one continuous length of time, i.e. that whole period is the length of the timed-salat

I think we can praise and magnify God with or without salat. If you recite Quran in Salah there are many verses to praise,glorify,magnify God. For example chapter 1 which is usually recited starts with God's praise.
17110 Say, "Call on God or call on the Gracious. Whichever it is you call on, to Him are the best names." Do not be loud/public in your contact prayer, nor quiet/private; but seek a path in between.
17111 And say "Praise be to God who has not taken a son, nor does He have a partner in sovereignty, nor does He have an ally out of weakness." And magnify Him greatly.
And we can praise god any time of the day even if we are not performing Salah.
2119 To Him is whoever is in the heavens and in the earth. Those who are near Him are not too proud to serve Him, nor do they complain.
2120 They glorify in the night and the day, they do not cease.5039 So be patient to what they are saying, and glorify the grace of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting.
5040 From the night glorify Him, and after prostrating.5248 You shall be patient for the judgment of your Lord, for you are in Our sights, and glorify the praise of your Lord when you get up.
5249 Also during the night glorify Him, and at the setting of the stars. - one continuous length of time, i.e. that whole period is the length of the timed-salat

5249 Also during the night glorify Him, and at the setting of the stars.You didn't get my point I presume ... We all know we can praise God other than Salat at any time or even the times which God specify....
But Salat time fixed and mandatory act and is not merely praising God...
My question was how to do Salat and irregular praising at the same time...
GID orders to praise His name before the rising of Sun... This is not Salat for sure..
Then how can we keep praying untill sunrise... We never be able to take before surmising as praising time of God.. But we do Salat that of course part of praising the Lord but not Salat...Can we consider 20130 to be salat then? If no then be constant in logic
Can fasting of Ramadan and fasting of haj or 60 days equal... Things are different

peace s1111,
If we don't have a standard duration or time length of a Salat then how do we shorten it ?
I agree there is an expectation from the model/exemplar we have in The Quran but in my personal opinion we should bear in mind it may vary from individual to individual. For example, one could observe a very short salat in comparison to their usual duration (whatever that may be).
Practical example
usual salat 25-35mins
shortened salat 1-24minsIn other words, in my opinion, it depends on what the person/group usually does.
So do you mean the starting point of Salat is as soon as Sun touches the horizon if you mean "duluk al shams" as rubbing of sun?
(salat al isha)
Theoretically yes it could mean either, i.e. sun first touches the horizon or sunset (sun below horizon). So one could apply whichever as I find either understanding perfectly acceptable. As I have mentioned in my articles this understanding can compliment "salat al fajr", quote"If we consider one undertaking 'salat al-fajr' (the salat of/at dawn) then it is easy to realise one may crossover timewise into some point after sunrise, due to concentration/focus and/or finishing recitation/reading etc. In other words, going from "before the rising of the sun" (i.e. dawn) to after the sun's rising, i.e. "edges of the daytime" in this instance.
Thus, the "edges of the daytime" could be incorporated under the 'salat al-fajr' and 'salat al-3sha' periods, especially so if one wished to extend these periods in length."
