When are the four restricted months in the year?
-
2247 “And they urge you to hasten the punishment. But Allah will never fail in His promise. And indeed, a Day with your Lord is like a thousand years of those which you count.
1712 “And We have made the night and day two signs, and We erased the sign of the night and made the sign of the day visible that you may seek bounty from your Lord and may know the number of years and the account . And everything We have set out in detail.”
1005 “It is He who made the sun a shining light and the moon a derived light and determined for it phases - that you may know the number of years and account . Allah has not created this except in truth. He details the signs for a people who know”
Above verses are manifest and detailed clearly...it means SUN as well MOON should be taken for knowing the number of years and account.. But one would wonder according verse 2247 what God refers? Coz a DAY with God is equal to 1000 Years of what we count..
So .. normally we count for a year 365 days (Solar).. so 1000 years of solar is 365 X 1000
But if we apply Lunar it won't be the same obviously..
So.. in my recognition, i presume Moon and Sun has different aspects / purposes while counting...Or is it okay to claim since in 2247 it is stated using the word "LIKE THOUSAND YEARS" .. perhaps not exactly but nearly..
But do you believe we should use a luni-solar calendar? Or should we juse use a lunar calendar and for other things a solar calendar? Those don't need intercalation of a whole 13th month. While God says we need to follow a 12 month system?
I used to believe in a luni-solar calendar. But what does 937 say about intercalation..?
After reading 937 it also sounds strange to me now to combine the lunar and solar calendar.. It only results in problems with a 13th calendar once every 3-5 years.. -

Well I do understand your concern...
937 is clearly stated that intercalary is not entertained..
so let's dig history to certain extent... History always not reveal the exact truth but let's get some idea.. Why not 360 days instead 365 days in calendar ? Was there a 360 days calendar widely used in the history...
Okay.. why God seems to be hinting us that in a month 30 days.. i took this from a verse which says 60 poor people or two months.. it has an indirect advise equaling two months to 60 day perhaps..
if we take 360 days in a calendar year and consider lunar phases to be approximately 30 days.. would that be equal.. coz as per 937 IDDAH/Number is fixed with God.. whoever tried is to increase .. something fishy here... -

If the solar and lunar are not identical then there is a huge issue in the authenticity of what these verses speaks of...
I research a lot about 360 Days Calendar and it seems very fair that it should be 360 .. Even 360 degree also has a great history behind it... Anyway intelligent people of this forum, pls research don't get stuck with 365 days just coz it takes 365 days it takes earth to rotate full circle of sun.. Well.. I know it is a tricky matter for most but worth researching neutrally...
God simply said thousand years of what you count.. But God knows made sun and moon for counting.. But unless they are identical God must be specific saying like thousand years of what you count with sun. Or moon.. Both should be equal... 30 days / month in solar and lunar worth taking.. -
peace,
360 pertains to Babylonian math base-60 system
360 circle, 60 min/hr, 60 sec/min, 3600 sec/hr, etc.references to years in Qur'an are all solar

If you go through google or YouTube you may get some very good information about 360 days calendars... Needless I repeat here...
584 "And he who does not find - then a fast for two months consecutively before they touch one another; and he who is unable - then the feeding of sixty poor persons. That is for you to believe in Allah and His Messenger; and those are the limits Allah. And for the disbelievers is a painful punishment."
These are not mere assumptions.. But we'll intended placing of words.. It is a logical question what should raise why two months consecutively and 60 ? Why not 59 or 62 or 61. Or why not just any number like 25 or 10 .. Why chosen 60 while two consecutive months also mentioned parallely .?
As we discussed earlier God has manifestly stated 12 months in a Year.. God has mentioned word Year, Month and Day in Quran.. I am not sure He has mentioned Week..
So in God's book Year has 12 months.. So in His book month must have number of days or not? Yes.. It should have.. So.. When he stated in a Year 12 months then twelve months should consist inevitable number of fixed days..
Since God had intently placed in verse 584 two consecutive months and 60 it well within human knowledge that 60x6 =360...If God's recognition a Year consists 360 Days then why we need 365 days and a leap year with 366..
Now those who believe in science and earth rotation around sun 365.24 better rethink what Quran says..
You could be also a victim of 937 without knowing to yourself.
Is 360 days so special.. Yes.. If you research 360 degree or 360 days calendars you will find so many interesting points to ponder.. 360 is an incredible number when you consider many aspects.. -
Thank You...

The Book of Enoch (Idris) which is being upholded by the Ethiopian Church speaks about a 364 day calendar with 4 uncalculated days and 360 calculated days etc.
The months there are 30 days.But the calendar in that book is complex. It also talks about the distortion of the calendar and how the moon is misused.
Anyways, my question is. When should the 4 restricted months be according to the Quran?

Well... I have already replied to you regarding four restricted months...
When something is in practice already God doesn't elaborate it again.. That's what I got from Quran.. For example Allah has explained certain things about haj but never explained what the well known months to perform haj... But simply said haj is in well known months.. So that's enough.. Coz people already knew what well months are..
Same.. People already knew what those fourlntha which are restricted... Coz Allah didn't change restricted months in time.. Purpose of haj and purpose of well known months are in my thorough understanding is over..Do we have anything restricted in four months though we claim as believers.. As a believer one knows he trying his level best to avoid evil and practice what is good while accepting God..
So, what believera of modern day restrict in chosen four months..
Tey to grasp.. Purpose of restriction perhaps coming all the way from Nuh of not from Ibrahim bit with Mohamed and his immediate followers it is over.. Coz mission completed.. God's revelation through bool form is accomplished.. Purpose of haj is mostly to spread the message of God to people whomever it can reach in live manner with debate and discussion..
But message of God is in our finger tips now.. No more prophets.. No more new revelations.. -

I watched a numerous videos and read few article to know the exact meaning of Arabic months connecting with season... Well.. I found this video interesting...
Strangly dulkwada dulhaj muharram and Safar seams in ita meaning kind of restriction..
In some other I found ramadhan to be seventh month... Well.. No one keeps names of months away from nothing.. It should denote something special to those people. Either season or religious or something specific and unique to them.In accordance, the modern day patten of months falling in every season is ridiculous... For sure.. It is mocking the meaning ...

What do you mean with skip the 13th? Then we will end up with the same "problem" as the lunar calendar?
No hunting during the months where the animals have babies sounds the most logic as well. But are babies not babies anymore after the four months are gone?

Those videos sound very logic. But they dont answer when the restricted months are according to the Quran alone.
What about the last four months being the restricted months of the current Arabic calendar starting with ramadan? And of course we could reconsider that it should be a luni solar calendar but the names could stay the same?

Well assumptions are not truth always... For you ramadhan shawwal dhulqada dulhaj seems four restricted months..
See well known months are assumptions foe you..
Well.. For me I think I can go with Dhulqada / Dulhaj / muharram / Safar... And again assumption... Now who is gonna deny you and me and bring another four months... Is this what WELL KNOWN means?So dear.. We are left with assumptions.. So don't bother..
After all what you gonna do even if you know that these are four restricted months? Are you gonna go to any place in the world and perform haj? Are you gonna make ceasefire? Are you gonna stop hunting in restricted sanctuary? Or are you gonna attack once the restricted months over? Everything has purpose.. When the matter and purpose over it is nothing.. Okay suppose you gonna do all these in restricted months in case.. But what if you have chosen the wrong four months of restriction... That's a big issue.. So.. Why we go after on something which has no concern for us as we are living in a different era.. It was for them and not for us..For example... Conventional Muslims do consider what they do in Makka and in surroundings every year in the Arabic month of dulhaj is Haj for them.. So suppose anyone hunted an animal... I don't see any place there to hunt nowadays.. That's a different topic.. But suppose.. So Quran advice to bring it to Kaaba... So.. Is that what is Kaaba in Quran... There is no connection...so just leave them who are in astray.. And also just leave those are not relevant for us.. Yes... In Quran but not everything for us.. Coz QURAN was revealed for immediate people of Mohamed first.. We have the book for our guidance with what is best out of it..
That's it...By the way Allah didn't say animals were pregnant so don't hunt.. Allah said dony hunt while you are in restriction... You can only be in restriction while you in restricted sanctuary for the purpose of haj... Allah never said don't hint in restricted four months... I hope that's what I read.. If it is not allowed to hunt throughout four restricted months.. Just show me the verse.. Purpose people flocked is not for hunting.. But for a different purpose.. Why to eradicate all the animals out there just coz haj is taking place.. Nature should be preserved... Isnt it?
I don't think Allah prohibit what is in the bellies oh permitted animals.. Does He? -

peace, the only way to easily tell time is place a stick with a circle e.g. via sundial
- spring equinox (equal day/night ~ March 20) sunrise/sunset equal across circle
- wait for full moon start cycle 1 next new moon crescent

4 cycle prohibition varies yearly start spring to end of July/August (N Hemisphere), how did you get there by reading the Quran?
-
A translation of the Quran 981 Those who have remained are happy with their position of lagging behind the messenger of God, and they disliked striving with their money and lives in the cause of God; and they say "Do not mobilize in the heat." Say "The fire of Hell is much hotter," if they could only understand.
So the restricted months were in the summer. Now we only have to know if they start in the end of spring or end in fall.

How is this related to the restricted months?
