ALL PRAISES BE TO THE MOST HIGH-GOD ALMIGHTY!!

PEACE TO ALL!!

God gave us scientific knowledge to determine exactly when a lunar month will begin and end. Astronomers have this knowledge precisely calculated and we can compute the day Ramadan will begin (or end) for a particular year months and years in advance. Lunar calendars are printed and people conduct business and trade in middle eastern countries without any uncertainty. God says in the Quran:


[Quran 10:5] He is the One who rendered the sun radiant, and the moon a light, and He designed its phases that you may learn to count the years and to calculate. GOD did not create all this, except for a specific purpose. He explains the revelations for people who know.

[Quran 2:189] They ask you about the phases of the moon! Say, "They provide a timing device for the people, and determine the time of Hajj." It is not righteous to beat around the bush;* righteousness is attained by upholding the commandments and by being straightforward. You shall observe GOD, that you may succeed.

We do not try to physically see the sun's position when it is time to pray our Contact Prayers (Salat). The sun, earth and moon follow precise orbits (21:33). Similarly, there is no need for trying to sight the crescent of the moon to start fasting. Any observatory or astronomy center should have that information for your area. Some almanacs, magazines or newspapers also report the times for the phases of the moon.

As for the first part of your statement; i say thank you to that. As for the other half, i'd
like if you could please refer me to when and where that happened. Besides, if u wanna go for a "duel"- i will
humbly accept. We will Scrutinize the current Islamic practices/belief against the Qur'anic teachings if
you desire that.Only Then,will we find out who the truly ignorant is?!! One who believes "apostates" deserve death,
calling a peacemaker ignorant. if you don't remember- i can search u the thread....Mr Tbaba the great "SAGE".

What do you want to talk about when you know nothing about Islam? You know nothing about Quranic teachings with all due respect... How can you talk with someone that does not understand the context of revelation?

There is no substance to most of your write-up... It is all garbage....

On what grounds do you judge his knowledge of the Qu'ran? Is there any set standards or that is your own interpretation?

mkmyers45: On what grounds do you judge his knowledge of the Qu'ran? Is there any set standards or that is your own interpretation?

Set standards; He knows nothing about the verses he quotes, the context of revelation, why it was revealed, who was it talking about..... Nothing... He just quotes english without even a proper understanding of Classical Arabic.... It is a disaster, i tell you

Bismillaah ir Rahmaan ir Rahiim. Ramadhan Mubarak! As salaamu alaykum, everyone.
