just to share something - check out/try in any of the ayah's where the word Almasjid Alharam accurs the following please " Undertaking / doing/ carrying out , of the forbidden or of the Haraam"
And you said "makan is a place...bayt is a place....even if u take mars as the place/makan for ur carnivals 'do not associate' is not a place....'mars' is not 'do not assocate'....empirical failure..so the makana cannot be 'do not associate with me'......no wonder u are so lost! -)"
To understand what is makaan according to its usage in the quran check out the following

hi! i have already talked about this.....still to brief u about it it is 'likeness makana likeness in the very least u have to have 2 similar ideas if not entities ayatan makana ayatin...evil makana good...get the drift?
the annual fair u are talkin about needs a place....be it in jerusalem or in las vegas or on this forum a place! 'do not associate with me' is not a place! words and ideas should be in harmony u can very well say 'let us live in harmony' but u will still need to live in a physical place!
u cannot live at a location called 'harmony'....but u can live at a physical place and live in a state of harmony in it! same is the case with 2226 monotheism is not a location...it is a state (not as in u s of a)...a belief! and like i asked why leave out the rest of the verse (..and purify my house for the attaifeen and alqaimeen and arrukuussujud) from ur proposed location?
anyway i have to leave...for an indefinite term.....maybe later...till then...-)
