MasyaAllah, thanks for the great content

You can create a pretty good lunisolar calendar by counting Islamic months, but always skipping over two of them, and starting over each time you reach 28. By doing this, you will create 12 fixed times in the year: the number of each month is the day of that month when the next fixed time occurs, and the two skipped months take the number of the last month. This would be much easier to use than a Metonic cycle, and much more useful.

Selam sister. I found your video while investigating the subject of months/calendar in the Qur'an to see if the current system we're using is incorrect (by any chance). This is certainly an interesting presentation. I've also watched your video titled "forgotten meanings of the Islamic months", which supports your claim here. But I'm taking all this with a grain of salt at the moment since I wasn't expecting such a different answer. For now though, I'd like to ask you a simple question. Suppose I know absolutely nothing of the calendars Arabs have used so far and am trying to find out when to fast and when to go to pilgrimmage from Quranic verses alone. What answer do you think I will find? (and please justify it with corresponding verses.) Thanks in advance.

@SimplyMuslim

4 жыл бұрын

Salam. The first time ‘fasting’ was mentioned in the Quran is in verse 2:183, to remind us that others before us were also instructed to fast. Then in verse 2:184, we are told that this fasting is to occur during “أياما معدودات” (i.e. a finite number of 3 or more days). At this point, we might have 2 questions: 1- When exactly during the year do these “أياما معدودات” happen? 2- What is the specific number of days we are expected to fast for? The following verse (2:185) tells us that we should fast the month of Ramadan. This answers the question of when (the month of Ramadan) and how many days (29-30 depending on the year). Let's assume you have never heard of Islam before and have stumbled across the Quran for the first time. You would still know that “Ramadan” is the name of a month, because verse 2:185 states so. And since you also know that the Quran’s language is Arabic (based on many verses including 12:2, 13:37, 41:3, etc.), you would be able to conclude that Ramadan must be one of the months of the Arabic calendar. At this point, you would need to make some research on the Arabic calendar to find out which of the 12 months corresponds to Ramadan. The Quran gives us enough detail that points us in the correct direction, but it is up to us to use the minds and logic that God gave to make research and learn more.

Thank you in advance,

@SimplyMuslim

Salam, the key is to understand that there is a difference between the calendar and the year. The calendar is how many different months we work with. In our case, the Quran clearly indicates that we should have 12 _calendar_ months. The leap month is not a 13th month in the calendar. It's just a placeholder consisting of missed days from previous years. In other words, when we add a leap month during a year, the calendar still has only 12 months (we didn't create an _extra_ month, we just added the past _missed_ days in a convenient manner; instead of adding the 11 days at the end of each year, we waited until they accumulate to 30 days. It's so we don't lose track of the phases of the moon, which is the flaw with the solar-only calendar). Another way to illustrate this idea: We have 11 missing days every year. These days need to be accounted for, otherwise our years are too short and our calendar wouldn't be consistent anymore. (Consider that the difference between the Gregorian calendar and today's mainstream lunar-only "Islamic" calendar is no longer 622 years but 576 years. i.e. By not keeping track of the missed days, they're now missing 43 years! If this continues, eventually, this lunar-only calendar will actually be _ahead_ of the Gregorian calendar! In other words, there's no consistency. How can this calendar be used to keep track of events accurately? It can't.). Since we absolutely do need to account for the missed days if we want our calendar to remain consistent, our next challenge is to figure out _how_ we add these missed days to our year. To account for the 11 missing days, the Gregorian calendar adds 1 day to almost all of its months. While this is a simple solution, it comes at a cost: their months are no longer synchronized with the moon phases. The Quran tells us that we should ensure that our calendar keeps track of the moon phases too for religious purposes. So, given these constraints, what's our best solution? The only way to make sure that our months remain lunar (i.e. in synch with the lunar phases) and our years remain solar (i.e. in synch with the seasonal cycle) is to add 29 or 30 days at a time. This method takes 19 years to completely bring back the months to their original position relative to the seasons. So, yes, it's a slightly more complicated concept (although it becomes quite simple and natural once you get used to it), but the advantage is we get to keep track of both cycles (lunar for months and solar for years) at the same time.

I like the idea of the Lunisolar calendar's compensating for the 11 days by skipping 3 times then compiling it into another "month" of sorts. its kinda similar to when in the Solar Calendar, February gets an extra day every 4 years. this is due to the fact that in actuality, the solar year lasts 365 days and 6 hours, but we typically don't regard those 6 hours. 4 years later that time amounts to a full day, therefore we give February its 29th day every 4 years.

Salamu Alaykom. How come is it thst we need 7 leap years in a cycle of 19?Every how many should we add a leap month?

@SimplyMuslim

2 жыл бұрын

Wa alaykum as-Salam. Thank you for your comment. The 7 leap years are needed to synchronize the two cycles (lunar and solar). • 19 solar years are approximately 6939.75 days (= 19 years x 365.25 days) • 19 years made of 12 lunar months are approximately 6732.84 days (= 19 years x 12 months x 29.53 days) • Missing (leap) days: 19 "solar years" - 19 "years made of 12 lunar months" = 6939.75 days - 6732.84 days = 206.91 days. So, after a period of 19 years, the lunar calendar is missing 207 days. (Which means that we must add 207 days throughout the 19 years, in order to place the months back within their respective seasons). How will we add these 207 days without messing up the cycle of moon phases and the seasonal cycle? The best way to do this is by adding these missing days in the form of leap months. • Converting days to months: (206.91 days)/29.53 days = 7.007 months So, approximately 7 leap months must be added to compensate for the missing days. This means that during a period of 19 years, 7 will be leap years (containing 13 months each) and 12 will be regular years (containing 12 months each). Technically, it doesn't really matter when exactly you add the 7 leaps months during your 19 year cycle (as long as you do add them eventually). But, by convention, lunisolar calendars will usually add a leap month every 2-3 years.

It refers to the 28 Lunar mansions, NOT the phases of the moon. This is a result of the wrong adoption of the Hijri calndar currently in use which was never a lunar Calendar, in fact no nation on earth around Arabia in the time and after the time of the Prophet PBUH used a lunar calendar. It was either lunisolar like the Assyrians, Persians, Chinese and Arabs or a Solar one like the Romans and the Byzantine Empire.

The Quran talks about Ramadan in verses 2:185-189. Verse 2:189 refers to the new moons as a way to determine time. There is no mention of full moons. Based on the context, I believe this makes it clear that Ramadan (just like any other month) starts with the new moon. I reckon Ramadan would start on September 28th this year. This is because _Camel breeding season_ in the Arabian Peninsula always occurs around November, so the month of Shawal should also be around November. But the only way that this would be true is if the previous month (Ramadan) falls around October or begins in late September.

Hello, Events like the Battle of Badr were not recorded by the Romans. They were only recorded by Arabs in the Hijri calendar, and they didn't use the Gregorian calendar at the time. So, the Gregorian dates that you see for these events are estimations made by later scholars. These estimations were calculated based on the "lunar-only calendar". However, the calculations made by these scholars are wrong. And here is the proof: For my proof, I am going to focus on 3 battles that occurred in 1 year. The Year is 15 Hijri (or 636 A.D.). The Battles are: the Battle of Yarmouk, the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah, and the Siege of Jerusalem. Two of these battles were recorded by both Arabs and Romans at the time of the events (so we have the dates in both Hijri and Gregorian). One was recorded only by Arabs (and converted into Gregorian by later scholars). The proof will demonstrate that the original Arabic calendar (used by the early Muslims) was luni-solar. The proof will also show that contradictions occur when the later scholars try to convert a Hijri date into a Gregorian date using a lunar-only calendar. *PROOF* Consider the Battle of Yarmouk: A battle between Arabs and Romans. Both Arabs and Romans recorded the event. Arabs recorded the date as Rajab in Year 15 Hijri. Romans recorded the date as August in Year 636 A.D. Now consider the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah: A battle between Arabs and Persians. This event was only recorded by Arabs. Romans didn't record it because it didn't concern them. And we don't have Persian records because their civilization was destroyed. So, only Arab records remained for the battle of al-Qadisiyyah. Arabs recorded the date as Shaban in Year 15 Hijri. In other words, the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah occurred 1 month after the Battle of Yarmouk. For events like the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah, the Hijri dates were converted into Gregorian dates by later scholars. These scholars started using the wrong (lunar-only) calendar to make their calculations. So, they placed the battle of al-Qadisiyyah in November. But we now have a contradiction. Arab records tell us this battle occurred only 1 month after Yarmouk, not 3! Therefore, this proves that the scholars who later converted the Hijri dates into Gregorian were using wrong calculations. Now consider the Siege of Jerusalem: Another battle between Arabs and Romans. So, once again, both Arabs and Romans recorded the event. Arabs recorded the date as Shawwal in Year 15 Hijri. Romans recorded the date as November in Year 636 A.D. See? The month equivalences are once again consistent with the luni-solar calendar. And we also notice a second contradiction with the date for the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah: The scholars who later converted the Hijri month to Gregorian placed the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah in November. However, this is the month during which the Siege of Jerusalem occurred! So, these scholars are telling us that the 2 events occurred in the same month. Yet, Arab records show that they occurred in two completely different months. So this, once again, proves that the scholars who later converted the dates were not using the same calendar that was used by the Arabs (and early Muslims) at the time of these events. Whenever an event is recorded by both Arabs and Romans, the Arabic months are consistent with the luni-solar calendar. Contradictions occur when an event is only recorded by Arabs and then we depend on later scholars to convert the dates from Hijri to Gregorian. These contradictions exist because the scholars are no longer using the original calendar adopted by the early Muslims.

I recently came across another piece of evidence concerning the battle of Badr. To understand the context, note that many Arabs in Mecca took two regular trips during the year (which were mentioned in verse 106:2): - The Winter trip was an annual trip from Mecca to Yemen. Every winter, some Meccans moved to the South, where the weather is warmer. Then they returned to Mecca by the end of Winter (around March). - The Summer trip was an annual trip from Mecca to Syria. Every summer, some Meccans moved up North, where the weather is cooler. Then they returned to Mecca by the end of Summer (around September). Now consider the battle of Badr. Historical records by the early Muslims indicate that the battle of Badr took place in Ramadan of the year 2 H. The records also tell us that this event occurred after the annual trip back from Syria. Since the caravan was coming back to Mecca from Syria, this must have been the end of the Summer trip. Yet, when converting the Hijri dates to Gregorian dates, scholars who rely on the lunar-only calendar place the battle of Badr in the month of March, which would have been the end of Winter not the end of Summer. This creates a contradiction since the annual Winter trip was the one going to Yemen, not Syria. Meccans avoided Syria during the Winter since it was too cold. But if we follow the lunisolar calendar, Ramadan would correspond to September/October in the Gregorian calendar, which indeed is the end of Summer, and that is precisely the period during which Meccans were known to return from Syria.

Where do you exactly place the leap month? Is there any reason or Quran verse about its placement?

@SimplyMuslim

3 жыл бұрын

Technically, it doesn't matter when exactly you place the leap month within the leap year (as long as you do count it before moving on to the next year). This is why different lunisolar calendars have established different conventions for when this leap month is to be added. In the Jewish Calendar, for example, the leap month is always added after the month of Adar. (So, during leap years, the Jewish calendar will have “Adar I ” and “Adar II”). The month of Adar in the Jewish Calendar is equivalent to the month of Safar in the Islamic Calendar. Interestingly, if you make research on the ancient Arabic Calendar (which was adopted by the Muslims at the time of Muhammad), you will find that Arabs/Muslims also had a “Safar I” and “Safar II” at some points in time. Note: Some modern scholars speculate that “Safar I” might have been the old name of “Muharram,” but there is no solid proof for this. However, if we consider the many proofs that the Islamic Calendar is lunisolar, it’s likely that “Safar II” was actually the leap month.

Assalamu alaykum, So if we were to follow the lunisolar calendar, that would mean Ramadan would never fall on a month where the sun doesn't set, because with the current lunar calendar, Muslims living in northern countries such as Norway will have years where they would have to fast 24 hours every day which is impossible and actually happened I believe this year or previous years. This is what convinced me that the lunar calendar cannot be the correct Islamic calendar.

Wa aleykum as-salam, yes! That is very true. If we followed the correct calendar, Ramadan would always fall around September or October. And during this period, day-length is similar everywhere on Earth. (The difference between the northern regions and the equatorial regions would only be a 3h hours at most).

@@Gazus12345 I do reject all hadith books. There are many reasons for this. But here is one of them: When the Messenger Muhammad died, he only left us _one_ Book: the Quran. In verse 59:7, the Quran tells us to take whatever the Messenger has given us, and to forbid what he has forbidden us. What did the Messenger give us? What is the one book he conserved for _us,_ the next generations? The Quran. And what was Muhammad’s _only_ complaint about his people? See verse 25:30. Besides the Quran, did Muhammad leave hadith books for us? No. Other men gave us these books - Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmizi, Ibn Hanbal, Ibn Maja, Abu Dawud, etc. Who are these men? Did they live with Muhammad? No. Did Muhammad assign them to write hadith books? No. Were they Messengers? Did they receive revelations from God? No. All of these men came *centuries* after Muhammad passed away. They travelled around collecting rumors (many of which are terrible accusations against Muhammad). And now we are told that Islam cannot be correctly followed without these hadith books. In other words, if it weren’t for men like Bukhari, Islam would have been lost… So, we see that once again the scholars are implying that Muhammad failed to properly complete his mission before he died. Had the Quran not been enough, surely, Muhammad would have added the missing important instructions! Knowing that he would be the last Messenger, he would have either written them himself, or at least commanded the sahaba to keep records. But Muhammad did not do that. The explanation that Bukhari tries to give for this problem is a clumsy one. According to Bukhari, Muhammad actually commanded his people _not_ to write hadith books because he feared they would get mixed up with the Quran. But this is not logical. Because verses 53:3 and 53:4 tell us that any commandment Muhammad gave to his people was revealed to Him from God. He only commands what God reveals to Him. And since the Quran is also revealed from God, it’s the same source! So, there should be no problem with mixing the Quran and the hadith (since they are ultimately both revelations from God), and _especially_ if both are necessary to correctly follow Islam! Therefore, Bukhari’s explanation is not logical. If you want even more solid proofs from the Quran showing us that true Islam is based on the Quran alone, send me an e-mail at justacuriousmuslim@gmail.com and I will share with you a much more detailed response.

Thank you for your comment, Memoona Shaukat. When the Messenger Muhammad passed away, he left behind one Book: the Quran. That's the Message he himself conserved in manuscripts for the next generations. And, for the first few centuries, that was indeed the only source Muslims relied upon to learn Deen. Do you think that the Messenger Muhammad failed to properly complete his mission? Do you think that without men like Bukhari and others who went around collecting rumors _centuries_ later Islam would have been lost? If Isam needed another set of books to explain the Quran, how come the Messenger Muhammad didn't write them himself like he wrote the Quran to conserve it for the next generation? The Quran contains all the instructions we need to worship God properly, as evidenced by the following verses: 6:38, 6:114, 16:89, 19:64, 44:2-6. Furthermore, in verse 29:51, God criticizes those who believe that the Quran is not enough. And what was the Messenger's only complaint about his people? (See 25:30) Regarding Prayer, the Message the Prophet Muhammad conserved tells us: - How to make wudu (4:43, 5:6) - Which direction to face (2:125 and 2:143-150, 22:26) - How to pray: > Explicitely refers to the 3 prayer positions: standing, bowing, prostraing (2:238, 3:39, 4:102, 22:26, 38:24, 48:29) > Explains that during prayer we must glorify God and recite the Quran (6:162, 17:111, 20:14, 29:45) > Even tells us how loud we must recite the Quran during prayer (17:110) - When to pray (11:114, 17:78-79, 24:58, 73:2-4) => Notice that the Quran repeats over and over again that there is a total of 3 prayers: one at the two ends of the day (fajr and isha) and one around the middle of the night. The fact that there is no prayer during the day is made especially clear in 24:58. Notice how God refers to dawn, noon, and evening, yet only dawn (fajr) and evening (isha) have a prayer associated to them. When God mentions the noon time, He makes no reference to a prayer. Of course, these are my personal beliefs. So, if you disagree, I respect your different beliefs. Peace.

Bonjour, j'ai une question si vous le permettez : Si on voulait rétablir ce calendrier solaire/ lunaire aujourd'hui (c'est à dire cette année) , comment savoir si nous sommes dans une année "leap year" de 13 mois ou année standard de 12 mois (par rapport aux Arabes de l'époque ) ? Vu que ce modèle de calendrier est par définition en déphasage avec le calendrier lunaire, et que le mois de ramadan est un mois bien défini, il y a donc deux possibilités : 1) soit les arabes de l'époque du prophète Muhammad suivait effectivement ce concept de leap year, et donc il faudrait savoir quand est-ce que le dernier ramadan "approuvé" par le prophète a eu lieu ( est-ce que c'était durant une année de 13 mois ou bien de 12 ) pour que nous puissions nous réajuster avec certitude à ce modèle. (Ce qui va être difficile vu que, selon ce point de vue, ce système a été altéré et donc il serait perdu. ) 2) soit l'année "islamique" a toujours été complètement lunaire, indépendamment de la saison, et de ce fait, en cherchant à ajouter un mois, on serait automatiquement en déphasage par rapport au calendrier lunaire que les musulmans suivrait d'une façon ininterrompue depuis le dernier ramadan "approuvé" par le prophète. (Et pour prouver cela, il faudrait aussi trouver la preuve que la position du mois de ramadan n'a pas été altéré dans le calendrier "islamique" d'aujourd'hui et que l'ordre a effectivement été préservé, ce qui, à mon avis, ça être tout aussi difficile ) Toute réponse ou critique est la bienvenue. Peace

Bonjour Rayane, en fait il est relativement simple de se remettre à suivre le calendrier original du temps du prophète. Par exemple, certains évènements historiques de cette époque ont été documentés non seulement par les arabes, mais aussi par les romains. Ceci nous donne la possibilité de vérifier les dates du calendrier arabe à l’époque du messager par rapport au calendrier romain. Prenons l’an 636 apr. J.⁠-⁠C. comme exemple. Il correspond à l’an 15 après l’hégire, et le prophète était encore en vie à cette époque. Les romains et les arabes se sont affrontés à deux occasions : lors de la bataille de Yarmouk et lors du siège de Jérusalem. D’après les records historiques, les arabes indiquent que la bataille de Yarmouk s’est déroulée durant le mois de Rajab. Les romains indiquent qu’elle s’est déroulée durant le mois d’août. Quant au siège de Jérusalem, les arabes indiquent qu’il a eu lieu durant le mois de Shawwal, et les romains indiquent qu’il a eu lieu durant le mois de novembre. On voit bien que les mois arabes et les mois romains correspondent aux mêmes saisons ! (Si on suit un calendrier luni-solaire, le mois de Rajab devrait tomber autour du mois d’août, alors que le mois de Shawwal devrait tomber autour du mois de novembre). Ce qui est intéressant avec l’année 636 apr. J.⁠-⁠C., c’est qu’il y a eu une 3ème bataille, cette fois entre les arabes et les perses : la bataille de al-Qadisiyyah. Mais, contrairement aux romains, la civilisation des perses a été complètement détruite. Du coup, nous n’avons que les records historiques arabes, qui indiquent que cette bataille a eu lieu durant le mois de Shaban de l’an 15 après l’hégire. C’est-à-dire que cette bataille s’est déroulée un mois après la bataille de Yarmouk. Mais, comme cet évènement ne concernait pas les romains, ils n’en n’ont pas conservé un record dans leur histoire. Donc, pour convertir la date de la bataille de al-Qadisiyyah au calendrier grégorien, les érudits musulmans modernes ont dû faire un calcul en supposant que le calendrier musulman de l’époque était lunaire seulement (et pas lunisolaire). Ainsi, ils ont placé la bataille de al-Qadisiyyah dans le mois de novembre en 636 apr. J.⁠-⁠C. Mais ça c’est le mois durant lequel le siège de Jérusalem a eu lieu ! Alors que, d’après les anciens records des arabes, le siège de Jérusalem et la bataille de al-Qadisiyyah se sont déroulés lors de deux mois complètement différents ! Donc ceci réfute l’hypothèse que le calendrier de l’époque du prophète était lunaire seulement, puisqu’en se basant sur cette hypothèse les érudits se sont retrouvés avec des dates contradictoires. Concernant les preuves du calendrier lunisolaire, j’en ai mentionné quelques-unes dans mes vidéos, y compris des preuves basées sur des versets Coraniques.

Si on ne se concentre que sur l'année 636 cela pourrait confirmer que l'ordre des mois tels qu'on les connais sont préservés mais sans données additionnelles on pourrait expliquer le fait que les mois grégoriens coïncident avec les mois des arabes par le fait que cette année là, les mois du calendrier lunaire (sans leap year) devaient coïncider avec ceux du calendrier grégorien, ce qui serait possible vu que les mois du calendrier lunaire se déplacent au fil des années.

@@rayaneamrouche3705 Les noms des mois du calendrier arabe sont basés sur les saisons spécifiques à une région en particulier : la péninsule arabique. Or, le reste du monde musulman n’est pas concerné par le mois de « récolte des raisins » (Rajab) ou le mois de la « saison de reproduction des dromadaires » (Shawal). Les seuls mois qui nous importent sont ceux qui impliquent des traditions religieuses : Ramadan et les 4 mois sacrés. Pour les mois sacrés, puisqu’ils sont reliés au pèlerinage, ce sont les musulmans qui choisissent de l’entreprendre qui devront se déplacer vers la péninsule arabique. Pour le mois de Ramadan, puisqu’il est relié au jeune (qui dure de l’aube à la nuit), ce qui nous intéresse c’est la durée des journées. Or, en respectant l’emplacement des mois par rapport à leurs saisons respectives (telles qu’indiquées par leurs noms), on voit que le mois de Ramadan tombe dans une période où les journées ont des durées similaires à travers la Terre entière (peu importe si on parle de l’hémisphère nord ou sud). Concernant l’an 636, j’avais oublié qu’il s’agissait plutôt d’évènements qui se sont passés quelques années après le décès du prophète. Mais cela ne change en rien l’argument en question, puisque le but était de montrer que le calendrier purement lunaire n’était pas utilisé à l’époque du prophète (que ce soit quand il était encore en vie ou juste quelques années après sa mort).

@@harimurtiwidyasena5582 That's true. The reason the month won't always start on the day of the equinox is because months depend on the lunar cycle while the equinox depends on the seasonal cycle. These 2 cycles aren't always in synch. (In fact, they are rarely perfectly aligned). And because of that, the month of Ramadan will rarely fall _exactly_ on the day of the equinox. Most of the time, it will fall _around_ that period. In Autumn, it is during the period around late September and October, that day-length would be similar across all the countries in the world. (This link: www.timeanddate.com/sun/ is to a website that allows you to see the sunrise/sunset and daylength of different cities around the world). In general, it is by comparing the northernmost city (Norilsk, Russia) to the city closest to the equator (Quito, Ecuador) that you would notice the biggest difference in daylength. Right now (in May 2019) the difference is about 12h, with daylength lasting *24h* in Norislk! (So, technically, if there are Muslims there, they can never stop fasting...). But in late September and October, the biggest difference between these two cities is only about 3h. And, you're right. According to the lunisolar calendar, Ramadan starts on September 29th this year. Peace.

Why don't you upload more content

The discussion about Rabi' al-Awwal is pretty deep. It means the first of Spring. But because Islam is based on the lunar calendar, Rabi' al-Awwal could take place on the first day of Fall (or Winter or Summer or anytime). Which is fine if that works for you. In Judaism, time is dependent on the lunar cycle. The problem is that the Torah requires that Passover (aka Pesach) be observed in the Spring (Spring is based on the solar year) AND on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Nissan (Hebrew month based on the lunar year). How can this happen consistently year in and year out if the lunar year is around 10-11 days shorter than the solar year? This is why the Torah CLEARLY gives the power to the People/Court/Beit Din to establish a new/leap month (see Exodus Chapter 12 and the use of the Hebrew words "HaChodesh Hazeh Lachem..." or "The months shall be for YOU to establish...) - in order to ensure the Holiday of Passover (aka Pesach) is celebrated in the Spring season, in accordance with the Torah's requirement. It's worthwhile to note that in the year 400, Hillel determined all future required leap months in perpetuity - so there is no requirement to declare one via the People/Court/Beit Din. This is just one example of why it is clear that G-d wanted the Jews/Sages to study and expound on the Torah (i.e. via the Mishna/Talmud). Orthodox Jews believe that the Mishna/Talmud were transmitted to Moses at Sinai.

Dear sister have you heard about the blue moon?

Basically, if you only follow a solar calendar and keep track of the moon phases in a separate calendar, you'll notice that some years have 13 full moons instead of 12. You're basically noticing the two cycles (solar and lunar) in action. But the lunisolar calendar automatically accounts for this. What would be perceived as a "blue moon" by the followers of a solar-only calendar is simply a regular full moon that falls on a leap year for the followers of the lunisolar calendar.

Since the Islamic Calendar is lunisolar, it works like any other lunisolar calendar. Personally, I have found more resources for the Chinese Calendar, so that’s what I’ve been using as a reference. Ramadan is also equivalent to the 9th month of the Chinese Calendar. As for the Hajj Pligrimage, it can take place during any one of the Forbidden Months. How do we know this? • Verses 2:194 to 2:196 indicate that Hajj is to take place during a Forbidden Month • Verse 2:197 states that Hajj is in _months_ well-known using the plural form "أشهر" (which indicates 3 or more months) • Verse 9:36 reminds us that among the 12 months of the calendar, we have 4 Forbidden Months By looking at the names of the months of the Islamic Calendar, the Forbidden Months that can easily be determined by name are: Thul-Qa'dah, Thul-Hajjah, and Muharram, (which are also equivalent to the 11th, 12th, and 1st months of the Chinese Calendar) The 4th one is subject of debate. Personally, I don't think that Rajab is the 4th Forbidden Month since verses 9:1-2 and 9:5 seem to imply that the 4 Forbidden Months are consecutive. Therefore, I reckon that the 4th Forbidden Month is either Shawal or Safar. So far, I have found more evidence for it being Shawal, but I am not 100% certain. The Hong Kong Observatory website provides a convenient conversion table in PDF format for each year: www.hko.gov.hk/gts/time/conversion.htm This is what I have been using to determine the dates of the lunisolar calendar in relation to the Gregorian Calendar. _Note that although their title says "Lunar" calendar, they do add a leap month whenever necessary, so it really is lunisolar calendar_ Peace.

How to determine leap month ?

@SimplyMuslim

3 жыл бұрын

Generally we know that within any given period of 19 years, we need to have 7 leap years (each containing an added 13th month). Technically, we just need to add these 7 leap months at some point. It doesn't really matter when exactly we add them, as long as we do it within the 19-year cycle. But in order to ensure that the months don't drift too much from their respective seasons, most lunisolar calendars insert the leap months every 2-3 years. Where exactly they insert this leap month within the year depends on the agreed-upon convention. For instance, the Jewish Calendar always adds the leap month after Adar, while the Chinese Calendar adds it whenever they count 13 new moons between the 11th month of a year and the 11th month of the next year. If you want more details on the calculations involved to determine the leap month, then you might find this article interesting: calendars.wikia.org/wiki/Lunisolar_calendar

When will the new year begin after the end of leap year? will it be on maghrib time of the 13th month?

@@tanvirhussain2266 Sorry for the late reply, for some reason I didn't get a notification for your comment and just noticed this. Without intercalation, the calendar's dates are no longer reliable. Consider, for example, the fact that the difference between the Gregorian calendar and the mainstream lunar-only calendar followed by today's Muslims used to be 622 years but is now 576 years. i.e. By not keeping track of the missed days, this calendar is now missing 43 years! If this continues, it will eventually be ahead of the Gregorian calendar! In other words, there's no consistency. How can this calendar be used to keep track of events accurately? It can't. So intercalation is necessary for every calendar. Even the solar-only calendar needs to add a leap day every 4 years, since periods of adjustment are a necessary part of any functional calendar. In fact, the Arabic word for calendar is "تقويم", which literally means "adjustment".

That's like saying that the pen we use to write the Quran (or the machine we use to print it) is sacred because the Quran is a sacred book. The pen/machine are just tools They're not sacred in and of themselves. Similarly, calendars are tools we use to calculate time. And just because these tools help us identify the occurrence of holy months like Ramadan or the four Forbidden Months, does not mean that the tools themselves are sacred.

1) The true Islamic Calendar is Luni-Solar. Meaning it takes both the moon and the sun into account. 2) The new year DOES NOT begin with Muharram. It begins with Rabi al Awal. Why? Not only because Rabi al Awal is the month in which the prophet (pbuh) made the Hijra. But also because the new year begins in Spring rather than in the dead of Winter. 3) This means that the Islamic New Year begins with the new moon that is born between March 20 and April 17. Here are the months in order: 1) Rabi al Awal 2) Rabi al Thani 3) Jumada al Awal 4) Jumada al Thani 5) Rajab 6) Shaban 7) Ramadan 8) Shawwal 9) Dhul Qidda 10) Dhul Hijjah 11) Safar al Awal 12) Safar al Thani 13) Muharram (The leap month that is added every 2-3 years)

Yes, after the first 3 years the solar and lunar cycles are still not perfectly aligned. It takes 19 years for the two cycles to align. We call that 19-year cycle the "Metonic Cycle." I briefly explain how the Metonic Cycle works in the description underneath this video. For more information, you can also read more about the Metonic Cycle online. As mentioned in this video, when analyzing the number of times key words like “day”, “month”, and “year” occur in the Quran we see that the numbers point us toward the Metonic Cycle.

I am feeling calendars should be luni-solar.

Why is month 1 and 7 and others 30 days instead of 29? Please explain.

A synodic month is about 29.5 days. So, from our perspective on Earth, it sometimes takes 29 days and sometimes 30 days to view a complete cycle of the phases of the moon.

@SimplyMuslim

2 жыл бұрын

Salam :) The leap month is just an accumulation of missed days, not an extra month. This leap month needs to be added every 2-3 years. The easiest way to determine when to add this leap month would be to follow one of the lunisolar calendars that are currently in use. The closest one to the original ancient Arabic calendar (which later became the Islamic calendar) is the Jewish calendar. During regular years, the Jewish calendar only has one Adar month. But during leap years, it adds Adar II as the leap month. Interestingly, Adar is equivalent to the month of Safar in the Islamic calendar, and historical accounts do mention the fact that Arabs used to have a Safar I and Safar II at some points in time. (Note that some scholars believe that Safar I was just the ancient name of Muharram, but there is no proof for this. However, if we consider the many proofs that the Islamic calendar is lunisolar, it is likely that Safar II was in fact the leap month).

This is confusing, If you follow the solar years for the months the Ramadan would be in Septmeber, then you just simply fast when you see the new moon in September. You are then following the verse 6:96. Its that simple.

Salam Walid. Merci beaucoup pour ces paroles encourageantes. Je suis contente que t’aie apprécié cette vidéo. En fait, on a deux cycles : 1- Le cycle des saisons (qui dépend de la révolution de la terre autour du soleil). *Ce cycle se répète tous les 365,25 jours.* 2- Le cycle des phases de la lune (qui dépend de la révolution de la lune autour de la terre). *Ce cycle se répète tous les 29,53 jours.* Comme tu peux le constater, ces deux cycles n’ont pas la même durée. Mais si on veut développer un calendrier où chaque mois est non seulement associé à une saison particulière mais aussi commence avec une nouvelle lune, on doit trouver une manière de relier les deux cycles. Pour pouvoir relier les deux cycles, on doit trouver un rapport entre les deux (un point en commun). C’est-à-dire : Si on commence les deux cycles en même temps, y aura-t-il un moment où ils s’aligneront? Commençons nos calculs : ~ Jour 0 : - Nombre du cycle de saisons: 0 - Nombre de cycles lunaires : 0 ~ Après 1 année (365,25 jours) : - Nombre du cycle de saisons : 365,25 jours / 365,25 jours = 1 cycle de saisons - Nombre de cycles lunaires : 365,25 jours / 29,53 jours = 12,369 cycles lunaires = 12 cycles lunaires + 11 jours Donc, au bout d’une année, les deux cycles ne sont pas encore alignés. Il y a une différence de 11 jours entre 1 cycle de saisons et 12 cycles lunaires. ~ Après 2 ans (365,25 x 2 = 730,5 jours) : - Nombre du cycle de saisons : 730,5 jours / 365,25 jours = 2 cycles de saisons - Nombre de cycles lunaires : 730,5 jours / 29,53 jours = 24,738 cycles lunaires = 24 cycles lunaires + 22 jours Donc, au bout de 2 ans, les deux cycles ne sont pas encore alignés. Il y a une différence de 22 jours entre 2 cycles de saisons et 24 cycles lunaires. ~ Après 3 ans (365,25 x 3 = 1.095,75 jours) : - Nombre du cycle de saisons : 1.095,75 jours / 365,25 jours = 3 cycles de saisons - Nombre de cycles lunaires : 1.095,75 jours / 29,53 jours = 37,106 cycles lunaires = 37 cycles lunaires + 3 jours Donc, au bout de 3 ans, les deux cycles ne sont pas encore alignés. Il y a une différence de 3 jours entre 3 cycles de saisons et 37 cycles lunaires. Etc. Si on continue ainsi à calculer la différence après chaque année, on se retrouvera à chaque fois avec une différence de quelques jours entre les cycles des saisons et les cycles lunaires. Mais au bout de 19 ans… ~ Après 19 ans (365,25 x 19 = 6.939,75 jours) - Nombre du cycle de saisons : 6.939,75 jours / 365,25 jours = 19 cycles de saisons - Nombre de cycles lunaires : 6.939,75 jours / 29,53 jours = 235,007 cycles lunaires = 235 cycles lunaires + 2 heures Donc, au bout de 19 ans, les deux cycles sont enfin alignés! (avec seulement une petite différence de 2h). C’est comme ça que les anciens mathématiciens ont conclu que "19 ans" est le plus petit multiple commun entre les deux cycles. On se retrouve donc avec un troisième cycle (qui a une durée de 19 ans) et qui relie les cycles lunaires aux cycles des saisons. Ça c’est le cycle métonique. Maintenant on sait que si on veut suivre un calendrier lunisolaire, notre calendrier se répètera tous les 19 ans. Comme on l’a vu dans la vidéo, on aura besoin de rajouter des jours bissextiles de temps en temps pour éviter que les mois changent de saisons. Mais la question est : Combien de jours bissextiles devrons-nous rajouter au cours de ces 19 ans? Eh bien, il suffit de calculer la différence entre une année complète (une année qui dure 365,25 jours) et une « année » composée de 12 cycles (mois) lunaires (une « année » qui dure 29,53 jours x 12 cycles) : • 19 années sont égales à 6.939,75 jours (= 19 ans x 365,25 jours) • 19 « années » composées chacune de 12 cycles lunaires sont égales à 6.732,84 jours (= 19 ans x 12 mois x 29,53 jours) • Nombre de jours bissextiles à rajouter : 19 années complètes - 19 « années » composées chacune de 12 cycles lunaires = 6.939,75 jours - 6.732,84 jours = 206,91 jours bissextiles Par conséquent, pendant une période de 19 ans, 206,91 jours doivent être rajoutés pour fixer les mois par rapport à leurs saisons respectives. Quelle est la meilleure manière de rajouter ces jours bissextiles sans chambouler les cycles des saisons et des phases de lunes? La meilleure méthode, c’est de les insérer sous forme de « mois ». Donc, 206,91 jours nous donnent combien de mois bissextiles? 206,91 jours / 29,53 jours = 7,007 mois. Ceci veut dire que pendant une période de 19 ans, on devra rajouter 7 mois bissextiles. (C’est-à-dire qu’on devra rajouter 1 mois bissextile à 7 années). En d’autres termes, pendant une période de 19 ans, il y aura 7 années bissextiles (composées de 13 mois chacune) et 12 années régulières (composées de 12 mois chacune). J’espère que cette explication est plus claire.

Let me explain: She believes the Islamic calendar is lunisolar just like the Hebrew and Chinese calendars. Therefore according to her, we were in 1398 H (now 1401 H). However, acc to the lunar Islamic calendar, we are now in 1445 H.

One last Puzzle. Al Quran tells us in 2:185 that “The month of Ramadhān [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'ān, a guid-ance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion”. My point is that it was revealed over a period time; not in a month. Isn’t it logical for the muslim to follow the lunar calendar only not Luni solar calendar. Salam.

Whether you follow a lunar calendar or a lunisolar calendar, the month of Ramadan would still only come once a year. (In both calendars, Ramadan is just 1 of 12 months. The only difference between the two calendars is whether the 12 months switch seasons or whether they are related to specific seasons. But in both cases the month of Ramadan only comes once a year). So if you understand verse 2:185 as saying that the entire Quran was sent down in the month of Ramadan, it is still more logical to follow a lunisolar calendar. Not only is this the original calendar that Muhammad was following, but the Quran itself also encourages us to follow it (in verses 6:96, 10:5, and 18:25). The purely lunar calendar has no basis in the Quran. Not to mention that it makes no sense from a scientific/mathematical perspective. The only thing that is supporting the purely lunar calendar is a contradictory “hadith” accusing Muhammad of following a wrong calendar for his entire life. Moreover, verse 2:185 isn’t necessarily referring to the entire Quran. It could be referring to just a part of the Quran. Consider verses 7:204, 16:98, 17:45, and 84:21. All use the word “Quran” without necessarily referring to the entire Book, just part of it. Also, verse 97:1 states that it was sent down on the night of Al-Qadr. Does this mean that the Quran only got sent down one night per year over the course of 23 years? Possibly. But, again, not necessarily. Salam.

@SimplyMuslim

4 жыл бұрын

Salam. In verse 2:183, we are instructed to fast. Then in verse 2:184, we are told that this fasting is to occur during “أياما معدودات”. The word "أياما" means "3 or more days". And the word "معدودات" means "countable" or "finite". So, the expression “أياما معدودات” does not tell us the _specific_ number of days we should fast for. 3 days can be described as “أياما معدودات”. But 1000 days can also be described as “أياما معدودات”. Any finite number of days greater than 3 can be described as “أياما معدودات”. So, verse 2:184 on its own doesn't provide enough information to determine the duration of fasting. Nor does it tell us the time of the year during which we should fast. So, we have to keep reading to get more information. Verse 2:185 tells us to fast the month of Ramadan. This answers the question of how many days (1 month = 29-30 days, depending on the year) and when (the 9th month of the Arabic calendar).
