Download or read book The Astronomical Calculations and Ramadan written by Zulfiqar Ali Shah and published by IIIT. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book shatters the myth that naked-eye sighting of the new moon and completing thirty days in the case of weather-related or other obscurities are the only two valid methods of determining the month of Ramadan. The author explains that certainty, not actual sighting, is the real objective of the Shariah and that the Qur'an does not mandate physical sighting. A careful analysis shows that those hadiths that seemingly require sighting actually require certainty. The assertion that all Muslim scholars prohibit the use of astronomical calculations, both in affirming or negating the month of Ramadan, is not correct. As calculation is now more accurate than naked-eye sighting, due to certain astronomical and scientific advancements, the use of calculation is the closest to the real objective of the Shari'ah and to the spirit of the hadiths.
Download or read book Caesarean Moon Births Calculations Moon Sighting and the Prophetic Way written by Hamza Yusuf and published by eBooks2go, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 79 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to the advent of electricity, every night held the possibility of a celestial light show. People in even the most urban environments were exposed to the awe and majesty of the heavens, which clearly "proclaim the glory of God." The contemplation of the celestial orbs and their movements provided early man with the most direct connection to his Lord. In the Qur'anic story of Abraham, it is his observance of heavenly phenomena that leads him to his certainty of God's unity and transcendence. Since the time of the Seljuq Turks, the crescent moon has been a sign of Islam.For Muslims in North America, there has been much confusion regarding when Ramadan begins, when to fast, and when to break the fast. Hamza Yusuf provides clarity through this detailed and scholarly work that decisively makes the case for sighting the crescent moon with the naked eye, as has been the Islamic tradition for 1400 years. This is essential reading for anyone seeking guidance on this important and sacred matter.

Download or read book The Road To Mecca written by Muhammad Asad and published by The Book Foundation. This book was released on 1954 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part travelogue, part autobiography, "The Road to Mecca" is the compelling story of a Western journalist and adventurer who converted to Islam in the early twentieth century. A spiritual and literary counterpart of Wilfred Thesiger and a contemporary of T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), Muhammad Asad journeyed around the Middle East, Afghanistan and India. This is an account of Asad's adventures in Arabia, his inner awakening, and his relationships with nomads and royalty alike, set in the wake of the First World War. It can be read on many levels: as a eulogy to a lost world, and as the poignant account of a man's search for meaning. It is also a love story, defying convention and steeped in loss. With its evocative descriptions and profound insights on the Islamic world, "The Road to Mecca" is a work of immense value today.
Download or read book By Noon Prayer written by Fadwa El Guindi and published by Berg. This book was released on 2008-09-15 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking anthropological analysis of Islam as experienced by Muslims, By Noon Prayer builds a conceptual model of Islam as a whole, while traveling along a comparative path of biblical, Egyptological, ethnographic, poetic, scriptural, and visual materials. Grounded in long-term observation of Arabo-Islamic culture and society, this study captures the rhythm of Islam weaving through the lives of Muslim women and men. Examples of the rhythmic nature of Islam can be seen in all aspects of Muslims' everyday lives. Muslims break their Ramadan fast upon the sun setting, and they receive Ramadan by sighting the new moon. Prayer for their dead is by noon and burial is before sunset. This is space and time in Islam--moon, sun, dawn and sunset are all part of a unique and unified rhythm, interweaving the sacred and the ordinary, nature and culture in a pattern that is characteristically Islamic.
Download or read book The Qur n and the Moon written by Imran HOSEIN and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-10 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book on the topic of 'The Qur'ān and the Moon-- Methodology for Monthly Recitation of the Qur'ān', is a companion volume to my previous book entitled 'Methodology for Study of the Qur'ān'; but which will now be renamed: 'The Qur'ān and the Stars--Methodology for Study of the Qur'ān'. I was in London on the evening of 29th day of Shabān 1440(H) when it became known that the moon of Ramadān was not seen anywhere in UK, and yet schoolboys in the Muslim community declared that Ramadān had commenced in UK. The 'sheep' and the 'cattle' then followed them blindly! The same mistake was repeated in 1441(H) when they again commenced fasting one day early on the basis of a plea that they had arrived at the 30th day of Shabān. The 'sheep' and the 'cattle' again followed them blindly! They acted on the basis of an announcement that the moon was sighted in Dajjāl's kingdom of Saudi Arabia, or that the month had commenced in Saudi Arabia, and in doing so they made both a silly as well as a dangerous mistake in departing from the system of time ordained by Allah Most High. This book explains that mistake. Those who took that wrong decision, as well as those who accepted and followed that decision, will be questioned on Judgement Day for what they did. Since they started Ramadān (or Shabān before Ramadān) on the wrong day, the implication is that they lost the greatest night of the whole year--namely Lailatul Qadr; and even more damage was done when they consequently lost the capacity to connect from lunar time to cosmic time and thence to Absolute time. Only lunar time can take us to a timeless world; we can climb even up a mountain to sit in a cave, in an effort to travel to other worlds of space and time, -- but if we do not live in lunar time we will travel to nowhere! They are probably unaware that only lunar time can take us to a timeless world, and that whoever has never tasted timelessness can eventually become a prisoner of the Dunyah. The Imām of Purley Masjid in Croydon, London, made a tearful request that I address the subject of moon-sighting for the commencement of the lunar month in Islam so that Muslims might be better-guided on that subject. This book emerged in consequence of my attempt to respond to that request, and I am confident that our explanation of the subject of Dajjāl and the System of Time in Islam would now deter such Muslims who have the capacity to 'think', from ever again following those who, even though they are in London, recklessly rush to embrace a Saudi or a Moroccan moon. I am grateful for the numerous offers of help I received from so many to meet the cost of printing this book in several languages, so that, in addition to being sold on my online bookstore, www.imranhosein.com, large numbers of copies could be distributed free of charge in UK and elsewhere. May Allah Most Kind, bless them all. Amīn! Those who read this book and would like to participate in the effort to print large numbers of copies for free distribution around the world, should kindly contact me by email. ( [email protected] ). If you would also like me to come in person to teach this subject to your community, do please send me an email and, if Allah so Wills, I will come to you.

Book excerpt: The new moon has long been a matter of religion. The Sanhedrin, the Pontiff, and the Mufti traditionally announce the first day of a lunation. This is the first light from the crescent moon, which determines the new lunar month. This book establishes the first instant of Universal Time using concepts of astronomy, photometry and radiometry to propose a 5th lunar phase (in addition to new moon, first quarter, full moon and last quarter) for the purpose of unifying lunar-based celebrations around the world. As a result, a precise Jewish calendar is proposed, the timing of the crucifixion is established and the Hejri calendar is evaluated together with the historical events associated with the emergence of Islam.
