Dear Brother, Salamun alaikum I have just tried to make people think upon the issues which might have been mis-understood by our predecessors. Whatever I have posted I tried to remain within the ambit of Quraanic Verses not for the reason I do not have faith on Hadeeth (Astaghfirullah) but just...

Salamun Alaikum بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيراً مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ...

Salamun Alaikum I advise you brother to read again and again what I have posted and then comment on it. your objections are ambigous and irrelevant. Furhter, can you tell me the meanings of sura Aale Imran verse 96: إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَيْتٍ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِي بِبَكَّةَ مُبَارَكًا وَهُدًى...

Salamun Alaikum, The 'understanding' of the ayat leads to think that The Prophet s.a.w.a.w. disliked the qibla which was chosen by Almighty Allah for him and He (Prophet s.a.w.a.w.) liked the Baitul Haram to be designated as qibla. Can we as a true muslim beleive on it? This narration shows...

I have just asked that 'when Baitul Muqaddas was designated as qibla and in which Nabi Alehis salam's tenore it was announced by Allah S.W.T. to face towards it for the purpose of salat and other relegious performances'

Salamun Alaikum,

I Invite people to participate in the discussion as to reach its logical conclussion. As a lead, I would like to mention here that we the muslims, irrespective of our caste and creed have mistakenly adopted the lunar system instead of the natural calendar system i.e. Solar System, which has...

Salamun Alaikum, Sister this discussion is in its initial stages and it is too early to summarize the same. I advise you to print each message in sequence and read them again and again. It is a very painfull truth that We, the muslims, have changed a lot of original Islam. and what remains today...

Salamun Alaikum; I fear that you still didn’t understand my point of view. I simply asked one question that which Ayat of Holly Quran leads to sighting of moon for calculation of month & year? When Allah s.w.t. expressly indicated in Sora Tawba referred above that the calendar system is like...

Further, I know that the meaning of Shahid in arabic is ‘to witness’. And here faman shahida is attributed towards the month of Ramazan not the moon. How can it be referred to the sighting of moon. It basically means that when you are in the month of Ramazan and you are not ill or not in...

Dear Brother Salamun Alaikum I would request you to reconsider your reply. The First reference you have given has no reference leading to sigtning of moon as the ayat and its translation in the words of Yousuf Ali is as under: شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِيَ أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ...

Salamun Alaikum, Dear Brother The verse you have quoted is quite irrelevent as neither any rule has been defined therein for calculations of count of years nor there is anyindication leads to sightning of moon for any purpose. It is just your hypothecation as Allah means this and that.

Salamun Alaikum Can anybody tell me which Ayat of Holy Quraan leads towards sighting of moon for the purpose of starting the month and calculation of calendar? Regards Cyrus
