സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗം ഒരു വ്യഭിചാര ശാലയോ?
കെ.കെ. ആലിക്കോയ

(യുക്തിവാദിയായ ഇ. എ. ജബ്ബാറിന്‍റെ ഖുര്‍ആന്‍ സംവാദം എന്ന ബ്ലോഗില്‍ "മനുഷ്യജീവിതത്തിന്റെ ആത്യന്തിക ലക്‌ഷ്യം ഒരു നാലാം കിട വ്യഭിചാരശാലയിലേക്കുള്ള സീസണ്‍ ടിക്കറ്റോ?" എന്ന ശീര്‍ഷകത്തില്‍ ഒരു ലേഖനമുണ്ട്. അതിന്നെഴുതിയ ഒരു പ്രതികരണമാണിത്.)

ഇസ്‌ലാം എന്ത് പറഞ്ഞാലും അതിനെ മോശമായ അര്‍ത്ഥത്തിലേ മനസ്സിലാക്കുകയും വ്യാഖ്യാനിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുകയുള്ളു എന്ന തീരുമാനം യുക്തിയല്ല; യുക്തിവാദവുമല്ല. ഖുര്‍ആന്‍ പരിചയപ്പെടുത്തിയ സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗം ഒരു വ്യഭിചാരശാലയാണെന്ന രീതിയല്‍ ഖുര്‍ആന്‍ സംവാദം എന്ന ബ്ലോഗിലവതരിപ്പിച്ച വാദം ഒരു മുന്‍വിധിയുടെ സൃഷ്ടിയാണ്‌; അതാണെന്നതിന്ന് വേണ്ടുവോളം തെളിവുകള്‍ ജബ്ബാറിന്‍റെ ലേഖനത്തിലുണ്ട്. അതിന്‍റെ ഹെഡ്ഡിംഗ് തന്നെയാണ്‌ ഒന്നാമത്തെ തെളിവ്. സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തെക്കുറിക്ക് സുദീര്‍ഘമായ വിവരണം അദ്ദേഹം ഖുര്‍ആനില്‍ നിന്ന് ഉദ്ധരിക്കുന്നുണ്ട്. എന്നാല്‍ ആ സ്വര്‍ഗം ഒരു വ്യഭിചാരശാലയാണെന്ന് ധ്വനിപ്പിക്കുന്ന ഒന്നും അതിലില്ല. 'അവര്‍ക്ക് വിശുദ്ധരായ ഇണകളുണ്ടാകും' എന്നാണ്‌ ഖുര്‍ആന്‍ പറഞ്ഞത്. (ആദ്ധ്യായം 2: സൂക്തം 25) 'വിശുദ്ധരായ ഇണകള്‍' എന്നതിന്ന് 'നികൃഷ്ടരായ വ്യഭിചാരിണികള്‍' എന്ന് അര്‍ത്ഥം കല്‍പ്പിക്കുന്നതിന്‍റെ യുക്തിയാണ്‌ മനസ്സിലാകാത്തത്.
ഒരു സ്ത്രീയുമായി അവളുടെ നിയമപ്രകാരമുള്ള ഇണയല്ലാത്ത ഒന്നോ അതിലധികമോ പുരുഷന്‍മാര്‍ ലൈംഗിക ബന്ധത്തിലേര്‍പ്പെടുന്നതിന്നാണ്‌ വ്യഭിചാരം എന്ന് പറയുന്നത്. പണമോ കേവല 'സുഖ'മോ ആവാം ഈ വൃത്തികേടിന്‍റെ ലക്‌ഷ്യം. എന്നാല്‍ സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തിലെ ഒരു സ്ത്രീയുമായി അവളുടെ നിയമപ്രകാരമുള്ള ഇണയല്ലാത്ത ഒന്നോ അതിലധികമോ പുരുഷന്‍മാര്‍ ബന്ധപ്പെടുമെന്ന ഒരു നേരിയ സൂചനയെങ്കിലും ഖുര്‍ആനിലുണ്ടോ? ഇല്ലെന്ന് മാത്രമല്ല; മറിച്ചുള്ള സൂചന ധാരാളമുണ്ട് താനും. ഖുര്‍ആനില്‍ നിന്ന് ജബ്ബാര്‍ ഉദ്ധരിച്ച ചില സൂക്തങ്ങള്‍ കാണുക: "അവയില്‍ ദൃഷ്ടി നിയന്ത്രിക്കുന്നവരായ സ്ത്രീകളുണ്ടായിരിക്കും. അവര്‍ക്ക്‌ മുമ്പ്‌ മനുഷ്യനോ, ജിന്നോ അവരെ സ്പര്‍ശിച്ചിട്ടില്ല. 55:56"
അഥവാ ആര്‍ക്കാണോ ഈ സ്ത്രീകള്‍ ഇണകളായി നല്‍കപ്പെടുന്നത് അവരല്ലാതെ മറ്റാരും അവരെ സ്പര്‍ശിച്ചിട്ടില്ല. അത് മാത്രവുമല്ല ദൃഷ്ടി നിയന്ത്രിക്കുന്നവരുമാണവര്‍. അഥവാ അവ്രുടെ ഇണകളെയല്ലാതെ മറ്റാരെയും നോക്കാന്‍ പോലും ശ്രമിക്കാത്തവര്‍!
"അങ്ങനെ അവരെ നാം കന്യകമാരാക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു.
സ്നേഹവതികളും സമപ്രായക്കാരും ആക്കിയിരിക്കുന്നു. 56:10-37"
കന്യകയെന്ന സങ്കല്‍പ്പത്തെ ആദരിക്കാന്‍ ഒരു യുക്തിവാദിക്ക് കഴിയില്ലായിരിക്കാം. എന്നാലും അതിന്‍റെ അര്‍ത്ഥം അറിയാതെ പോകുന്നത് ഉചിതമല്ലല്ലോ.
കന്യകമാരായ വ്യഭിചാരിണികളുണ്ടാകുമോ??
അതും പരിശുദ്ധരായ വ്യഭിചാരിണികള്‍?
അന്യരാരും സ്പര്‍ശിക്കാത്ത വ്യഭിചാരിണികള്‍?
അന്യ പുരുഷനെ കണ്ണുയര്‍ത്തി നോക്കുക പോലും ചെയ്യാത്ത വ്യഭിചാരിണികള്‍?
അങ്ങനെയൊന്ന് സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തിലുണ്ടെങ്കില്‍ എല്ലാവരും ശ്രമിക്കേണ്ടത് ആ സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തില്‍ എത്തിച്ചേരാനാണ്‌. കാരണം, ലോകാല്‍ഭുതങ്ങള്‍ പലതും നാം കണ്ടിട്ടുണ്ട്. എന്നാല്‍ ഈ ലോകത്ത് നമുക്ക് കാണാന്‍ കഴിഞ്ഞിട്ടില്ലാത്ത ഈ അല്‍ഭുതം ഒന്ന് നേരില്‍ കാണാന്‍ വേണ്ടി നമുക്കൊന്ന് സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തില്‍ പോകാന്‍ ശ്രമിക്കാം.

കന്യകമാരായ, മറ്റാരും സ്പര്‍ശിക്കാത്ത, മറ്റാരെയും നോക്കുക പോലും ചെയ്യാത്ത വിശുദ്ധരായ ഇണകളെ അല്ലാഹു സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തില്‍ മനുഷ്യന്ന് നല്‍കും എന്ന് ഖുര്‍ആന്‍ പറയുന്നുണ്ട്. എന്നാല്‍ ആ സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തെ വ്യഭിചാരശാലയെന്ന് വിളിക്കാനാണ്‌ യുക്തിവാദിക്ക് താല്‍പര്യം. എന്നാല്‍ കന്യക, സ്ത്രീകളുടെ പരപുരുഷ ബന്ധം, ചരിത്ര്യശുദ്ധി ഇവയെക്കുറിക്കുള്ള യുക്തിവാദ കാഴ്ചപ്പാട് എന്താണെന്ന് നോക്കാം.
1999 സെപ്റ്റമ്പര്‍ ലക്കം യുക്തിരേഖയില്‍ നിന്ന്:
1. "... വിവാഹ പൂര്‍വ്വ ലൈംഗിക ബന്ധങ്ങള്‍ പാപമാണെന്ന് പ്രഖ്യാപിക്കുന്നതും കന്യകമാരായിരിക്കാന്‍ അവിവാഹിതകളെ നിര്‍ബന്ധിക്കുന്നതും തെറ്റാണ്‌."
2. "അവിവാഹിതയുടെ ലൈംഗിക ബന്ധം പോലെ തന്നെ അവരുടെ ഗര്‍ഭധാരണവും പ്രസവവും അന്തസ്സ് കെട്ട ഒരു ഒരു പ്രവൃത്തിയായിട്ടാണ്‌ യാഥാസ്ഥിതിക സമൂഹം വീക്ഷിക്കുന്നത്. ഇത് സ്ത്രീകളുടെ മൌലികാവകാശവുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട ഒരു സംഗതിയാണ്‌."
3. "പഴയ സോവിയറ്റ് യൂണിയനില്‍ ഇത്തരത്തിലുള്ള പതിനായിരക്കണക്കിന്‌ അമ്മമാരുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. പാശ്ചാത്യ നാടുകളിലും ഈ പ്രവണത ഇപ്പോള്‍ സാമൂഹ്യമായ അംഗീകാരം നേടിയിട്ടുണ്ട്."
4. "വിവാഹ പൂര്‍വ്വമായിട്ടുള്ളതും വിവാഹ ബാഹ്യമായിട്ടുള്ളതുമൊക്കെയായ ലൈംഗിക ബന്ധങ്ങള്‍ സ്വകാര്യതയുടെ അതിരുകള്‍ ലംഘിച്ചു തുടങ്ങിയാല്‍ ഗുരുതരമായ സാമൂഹ്യ പ്രശ്നമായി തീരുമെന്നതില്‍ സംശയമില്ല. അതെന്തായിരുന്നാലും ശരി ആധുനികവും ശാസ്ത്രീയവുമായ സദാചാര മൂല്യങ്ങള്‍ അംഗീകരിക്കപ്പെടുമ്പോള്‍ മാത്രമേ സ്ത്രീക്ക് ലൈംഗിക സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യവും വ്യക്തിത്വവും നേടാന്‍ സാധിക്കുകയുള്ളു. മത യാഥാസ്ഥിക പിന്തിരിപ്പന്‍ സമൂഹങ്ങളുടെ പുരുഷാധിപത്യ സദാചാര നിയമങ്ങള്‍ തേര്‍വാഴ്ച നടത്തുന്ന വ്യവസ്ഥിതിക്കെതിരെയുള്ള പോരാട്ടം സന്ധിയില്ലാതെ തുടരുന്നതിലൂടെ മാത്രമേ ആധുനിക സമൂഹത്തെ സൃഷ്ടിക്കാനാവുകയുള്ളു."
കന്യകയെ കാണുമ്പോള്‍ ഒരു യുക്തിവാദിക്ക് പറയാനുള്ളതെന്തായിരിക്കും?: ഈ കന്യകാത്വം നീ കാത്തുസൂക്ഷിക്കരുത്; കാരണം ഇത് നിന്‍റെ അടിമത്തത്തിന്‍റെ അടയാളമാണ്‌. അത് നശിപ്പിക്കലാണ്‌ നിന്‍റെ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം എന്നാണ്‌. ഒരു വിവാഹിതയോടിവര്‍ക്ക് പറയാനുള്ളത്: നീ പതിവ്രത ആകാന്‍ പാടില്ല; അത് സ്ത്രീ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യത്തിന്ന് വിരുദ്ധമായ അറുപിന്തിരിപ്പന്‍ പുരുഷാധിപത്യ സങ്കല്‍പ്പത്തിന്‍റെ സൃഷ്ടിയാണ്‌. അത് കൊണ്ട് വിവാഹ ബാഹ്യമായ ലൈംഗിക ബന്ധം നിനക്കുണ്ടാകണം: അപ്പോള്‍ മാത്രമേ നീ സ്വതന്ത്ര ആവുകയുള്ളു.
അവിവാഹിതരായ അമ്മമാരോടിവര്‍ക്ക് പറയാനുള്ളതിതാണ്‌: നിങ്ങളാണ്‌ യഥാര്‍ത്ഥ സ്വതന്ത്ര സ്ത്രീകള്‍; കന്യകകളും പതിവ്രതകളും ആധുനിക കാലഘട്ടത്തിന്‍റെ മൂല്യം മനസ്സിലാക്കിയിട്ടില്ലാത്ത പഴഞ്ചന്‍മാരാണ്‌. യാഥാസ്ഥിക പിന്തിരിപ്പന്‍ സമൂഹം നിര്‍മ്മിച്ച പുരുഷാധിപത്യ സദാചാര തേര്‍വാഴ്ചയ്ക്ക് അടിമപ്പെട്ടവരാണവര്‍. നിങ്ങളെ സമൂഹം പുച്ഛിക്കുന്നുവെങ്കില്‍ അത് നിങ്ങളുടെ കുഴപ്പം കൊണ്ടല്ല; സമൂഹത്തിന്‍റെ തെറ്റായ മൂല്യ സങ്കല്‍പ്പങ്ങളാണ്‌ അതിന്ന് കാരണം. ആ സദാചാര മൂല്യങ്ങള്‍ക്കെതിരെ സന്ധിയില്ലാ സമരം പ്രഖ്യാപിച്ചവരാണ്‌ ഞങ്ങള്‍. നിങ്ങളാണ്‌ ഞങ്ങളുടെ പ്രചോദനം; നിങ്ങളാണ്‌ ഞങ്ങളുടെ മാതൃക. ഭൂമിയിലെ സകല സ്ത്രീകളും നിങ്ങളെ പോലെ സ്വതന്ത്രരാകുന്ന നാളിലാണ്‌ ഞങ്ങളുടെ വിപ്ലവം വിജയിക്കുന്നത്.
എന്നിട്ടോ, അല്ലാഹുവിന്‍റെ സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തിന്ന് നേരെ തിരിഞ്ഞിട്ട് നാല്‌ ആട്ടും തുപ്പും. വേശ്യയുടെ ചാരിത്ര്യ പ്രസംഗം എന്നല്ലാതെ എന്ത് പറയാന്‍!

യുക്തിവാദിക്ക് അല്ലാഹുവിന്‍റെ സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തോടുള്ള എതിര്‍പ്പിന്‍റെ കാരണങ്ങള്‍ എന്തെല്ലാമാണ്‌?
സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തിലെ സ്ത്രീകളെ അവരുടെ ഇണകള്‍ക്ക് ഏല്‍പ്പിച്ചു കൊടുക്കും വരെ കന്യകകളായിരിക്കാന്‍ അല്ലാഹു നിര്‍ബന്ധിക്കുന്നു. വിശുദ്ധരായ ഇണകളായിരിക്കാന്‍ സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തിലെ സ്ത്രീകളെ അല്ലാഹു നിര്‍ബന്ധിക്കുന്നു. സ്വന്തം ഇണകളെയല്ലാതെ മറ്റാരെയും നോക്കുക പോലും ചെയ്യാത്തവരായി അവരെ അല്ലാഹു സംവിധാനിച്ചിരിക്കുന്നു. ഇത്തരം ആശയങ്ങള്‍ക്കെതിരെ സന്ധിയില്ലാത്ത സമരം നടത്തുന്നവന്ന്, സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തില്‍, അല്ലാഹു ഇടമനുവദിക്കുകയില്ലെന്ന് യുക്തിവാദി മനസ്സിലാക്കുന്നു.
ഇതൊക്കെയാണ്‌ യുക്തിവാദിക്ക് സ്വര്‍ഗ്ഗത്തോടുള്ള എതിര്‍പ്പിന്‌ കാരണം. അഥവാ അതൊരു വ്യഭിചാരശാല ആയതല്ല; ആകാതിരുന്നതാണ്‌ യുക്തിവാദിയായ ഇ. എ. ജബ്ബാറിനെ രോഷം കൊള്ളിക്കുന്ന കാര്യം.

(Dear Ali koya, Assalamu alaikumWR WB,

I know about the Ummul Qura calendar. Before 1420H it was according to Quran and sunnah. But the saudi govt changed the rules. They wanted to begin the months after the Hilaal is seen in Makkah. I have complained about it. The Islamic calendar must be according to Quran and sunnah.

Wassalam,

Dear Alikoya, Assalamualaikum.

Please give me your postel address for despaching some details in
respect of your Malayalam attachment.
Even though I invite your attention to Br.Hassankoya .P.V.and also the
moonsighting chart of Dr.Khalidshoukath.All are different
arguements.You wrote 20 minuts are essentioal for Hilaal sighting with
naked eye.But the K.N.M/Hilaalcommittee /K.J.U parties propogating
that Newmoon is NOmoon.How you can see the hilaal on Newmoonday ie22nd
July 09.
Crescent visibility chart in the moonsighting .com mentioned that in
India on 22nd July the Hilaal could not be sighted.You peoples are
bleming Islam and Holy Prophet>s.a.w.please stop it for your own safe
on Akhira.
SECRATARY,
HIJRACOMMITTEE OF INDIA.

MY REPLY:
Dear Abdushukoor, Assalamu alaikum,
You wrote about the moon sighting charts. I think they are only
predictions about the possibilities of sighting. I wrote in my last
letter, about some norms depended by astronomers for the prediction of
the possibility. The main thing before us is not the possibility
chart, and it is not a subject before me, I do not like to waste my
time in studying or researching different possibility predictions made
by many, from different parts of the world.. Because I know we are in
Kerala, we seek moon on the western horizon from the beaches in the
western part of our state. The area of observation is very important
for the chance of visibility, as we watch it from beaches in Kerala
the visibility chance will be very high, because the horizon is
completely open to us. If you have any details about the observation
made in the beaches of Kerala I like to get it and study it.

See a sentence in your mail to me: "You wrote 20 minuts are essentioal
for Hilaal sighting with naked eye." I did not write such an opinion
in my any mail to you or to anyone else. I asked in a mail to Ali
Manikfan, when discussing about the possibility of sighting crescent
on a day which its moon lag time was 20 minutes: 'Is 20 minutes not
enough for sighting?' that is all.

See one more sentence in your mail: "But the K.N.M/Hilaalcommittee
/K.J.U parties propogating that Newmoon is NOmoon. How you can see the
hilaal on Newmoonday ie22nd July 09." I am not a representative of any
of the above said organizations, so I am not answering a question
about them, but I have to note a point here about the "new moon = no
moon" slogan. It is not about A DAY, i.e. new moon day as you wrote,
but about the TIME of the new moon. 'New moon is no moon' means 'no
moon can be sighted at the TIME of new moon. It is not against WE; but
against YOU.

See one more sentence in your mail: 'Crescent visibility chart in the
moonsighting .com mentioned that in India on 22nd July the Hilaal
could not be sighted. You peoples are bleming Islam and Holy Prophet."
I cleared my stand on this area, in this mail, see part one. And the
possibility chart in the moonsighting.com is not prepared by our holy
prophet, and when we agree a sighting report, against the prediction
of that site we are not doing anything against prophet. Prophet taught
us to observe fast after sighting it, and to stop fast after sighting
it. You are doing against the teaching of our prophet, i.e. you are
observing fast one day before sighting it and stooping fast one day
before sighting it. Obey Allah and His messenger first, and then use
their name for their sake, not for your sake.

Once, a dead body in a mortuary started to speak to the mortuary
keeper, and said: 'I did not die." The keeper replied: "an eminent
doctor judged that you died, whom I want to believe? An eminent doctor
or just you; so keep quiet; and be there". Your words (which
follwing) are not better than this joke: "How you can see the hilaal
on Newmoonday ie22nd July 09. Crescent visibility chart in the
moonsighting .com mentioned that in India on 22nd July the Hilaal
could not be sighted." Thanks for making me laugh.

Harun Yahya and the last messenger, By KK Alikoya

Harun Yahya and the last messenger, By KK Alikoya

Muhammad (PBUH) is the last prophet and the last messenger. Hence neither any type of prophet nor messenger would come after him. This is the Muslim world’s belief. Even though, in the different phases of the history, someone appeared claiming themselves that each of them is a prophet or messenger (or both.) It is the fate of these kinds of people, to try to find proofs for their messenger-ship/ prophet-hood in the Quran and fail to prove it.
One of their proofs is the combination of Quran 3/81 and Quran 33/7. The Qadianis, Rashad Khalifa and Harun Yahya use this combination as the proof of their arguments, which we will discuss later.
These three sects are different in their stands on the finality of prophet-hood and messenger-ship. At first we examine the belief of the Qadianis : 1. Messenger and Prophet are two equal terms. 2. Muhammad is neither the last prophet nor the last messenger, in its general meaning. 3. But he is the last law-bringing prophet and messenger. 4. There is a chance to come prophet/s and messenger/s after Muhammad. 5. No new Scripture would be given after Quarn. 6. No new Law would be given after the law brought by Prophet Muhammad. 7. Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian is a prophet and a messenger who came after Prophet Muhammad. 8. He is the Mahdi foretold by Prophet Muhammad. 9. He is also the Messiah foretold by the prophet Muhammad. 10. And they do not expect any prophet or messenger after Mirza. (Ref: Many books by Qadianis)Secondly, RK’s belief: 1. prophet and messenger are two different terms. 2. Prophet is a term for the Book-given. 3. All messengers do not bring books. 4. All prophets are messengers. 5. But all messengers are not prophets. 6. Muhammad is the last prophet. 7. No new Book would be given after Quarn. 8. Muhammad is not the last messenger. 9. There is a chance to come a messenger after Muhammad. 10. This messenger is foretold in the covenant in the Quran 3/81. 11. RK is that messenger of covenant. (http://www.submission.org/)Thirdly, HY’s belief: 1. prophet and messenger are two different terms. 2. Prophet is a term for the Book-given. 3. All messengers do not bring books. 4. All prophets are messengers. 5. But all messengers are not prophets. 6. Muhammad is the last prophet. 7. No new Book would be given after Quarn. 8. Muhammad is not the last messenger. 9. There is a chance to come a messenger after Muhammad. 10. This messenger is foretold in the covenant in the Quran 3/81. 11. The messenger foretold by Jesus (Quran 61/6) is also the same messenger. 12. The name of this messenger would be Ahmad (As it is in Quran 61/6). 13. The Mahdi predicted by Prophet Muhammad is also the same messenger. 14. The Mahdi would not claim that he is Mahdi and a messenger.HY writes: “One of the verses in the Qur’an pointing to the coming of Mahdi refers to “a messenger who will appear after Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace).
“Through this verse, Allah tells us that He has made a covenant with the prophets that they would believe in and help a messenger who will come after them:
“Remember when Allah made a covenant with the prophets: “Now that We have given you a share of the Book and Wisdom, and then a messenger comes to you confirming what is with you, you must believe in him and help him.” He asked, “Do you agree and undertake my commission on that condition?” They replied, “We agree.” He said, “Bear witness, then. I am with you as one of the witnesses.” (Surah Al ‘Imran, 81)
“The names of the prophets referred to in this verse, those reported to have made that covenant, are revealed in another verse:
“When We made a covenant with all the prophets—with you and with Nuh and Ibrahim and Musa and ‘Isa son of Maryam—We made a binding covenant with them. (Surat al-Ahzab, 7)
“It is revealed in the verse that a covenant has been made with Prophets “Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus” and with “Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace),” as the term “with you” implies.“This revelation in the verse shows that “this messenger whose coming is described is not Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), but is a messenger who will come after the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace).” And Allah knows best. This messenger, whom Allah reveals will come after Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), may well be “Mahdi,” the glad tidings of whose coming are related also in the sayings of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). And Allah knows best.“The way that the messenger whose coming has been promised has also received a promise of assistance from Jesus (pbuh), as reported in verse 7 of Surat al-Ahzab, further reinforces this view. That is because as we know, Prophet Jesus (pbuh) is reported in the hadith of the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) as returning to Earth in the End Times and following and supporting Mahdi:
“And when Jesus son of Maryam said, “Tribe of Israel, I am the Messenger of Allah to you, confirming the Torah which came before me and giving you the good news of a messenger after me whose name is Ahmad.” When he brought them the clear signs, they said, “This is downright magic.” (Surat as-Saff, 6)
“Prophet Jesus (pbuh) imparts the tidings that this messenger who will come after him will be called “Ahmad.” Examination of the Qur’an as a whole shows that those verses referring to Prophet Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) either use the name “Muhammad” or else just the term “prophet.” Nowhere in the Qur’an is the name “Ahmad” used for the Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). The name appears only once in the Qur’an, in a verse revealing the glad tidings of a messenger. This supports the idea that the name “Ahmad” refers to Mahdi who will come in the End Times, as well as our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). And Allah knows best. In addition, as in the previous verse, the fact that it is Prophet Jesus (pbuh) who imparts the name of the messenger is another piece of evidence reinforcing this interpretation.” (Pages 76, 77 The Mahdi a Discendant porphet Abraham [PBUH] can be downloaded from:http://api.fmanager.net/api_v1/xmlapi.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&with=mod=file,id=30805)
Now we can examine the arguments of these three in the light of the Quran and the Sunnah.The topic of the Quran 3/81 is a covenant of Allah with his prophets concerning the forthcoming of a messenger after them and the belief in him. Allah took this covenant from the prophets before Muhammad and enjoined all of them to believe in him. In this matter, all the Islamic scholars, ancient and modern are wonderfully unanimous. All prophets except Muhammad were sent to a particular nation, locality and time. The last coming prophet Muhammad has been sent to all nations, whole world and up to the end-time. So each and every nation has to believe in him. This wants to be understood by all of them and agreed up. The prophecy concerning Prophet Muhammad which found in the previous scriptures are reminders of this covenant. This is a Quranic verse which indicates the universality and uppermost position of Prophet Muhammad among all prophets. This verse was found by the three above mentioned fractions to misuse as a proof of their defective Risalah (messenger-ship) arguments.
If it was the message of this verse to indicate a messenger comes after Muhammad, this matter should have clearly stated by Islamic scholars including classical Mufassirs (Quran commentators.) and the Muslim world should have taught in the childhood lessons of their belief in the messenger-ship. They might have been expecting a messenger after Muhammad. But nothing happened like this in the history of Islam.
In this context, we have to examine their using of Quranic verse 33/7 to interpret the verse 3/81. And remember We took from the prophets their covenant as (We did) from thee: from Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus the son of Mary: we took from them a solemn covenant. (Quran 33/7)
Quran did not clarify that the covenant taken from the five prophets including Muhammad is the same covenant told in the verse 3/81. Prophet Muhammad did not explain thus. And none of the renowned Mufassirs has this opinion. If Allah had taken only one covenant form his prophets which stated in verse 3/81 we would have to believe that the covenant told in the verse 33/7 is the same as in the verse 3/81. On the contrary, The Quran states that Allah took different covenants and pledges from prophets. It is the only chance, which one among these covenants is apposite to the context of this verse, it is the covenant meant here. When Allah enjoined Muhammad to marry the divorcee of his adopted son, he hesitated to do it by fearing the censure of the public. See the verses 37, 38 and 39 of the same Chapter (33). And some indications concerning this matter and as the reminders to the responsibility of the prophet can be seen in verses one to six of this chapter. And in the eighth verse, it was indicated that this covenant is in order to question the prophets about their responsibilities. If Allah reminds him a covenant in this context what would be it? Nothing other than which indicates the responsibility of the prophet to obey each and every orders of Allah without fear and hesitation. And it is unsuitable to the context to indicate a covenant which would be obeyed by his future followers concerning a messenger or prophet would come after him. What a weak support found by the false messengers and prophets and their spokesmen!
If it was supposed that the covenant in the verse 3/81 was taken from Muhammad too, it is sure that at least one messenger has to come after him, and the Muslims have to believe in him. At the same time, there is a chance of emerging false prophets / false messengers behind this covenant, so, there must be a clause to help us to be cautious against it. In the absence of this clause this covenant would be incomplete and causing trouble.
An attribute to the messenger in the verse is the only indication in this way. The indication helps to identify the one who would be sent is that مُصَدِّقٌ لِّمَا مَعَكُمْ ‘confirming/fulfilling that which is with you’. What does it mean?
We have to search in the Quran for the answer: The Quran says that Prophet Muhammad is one who confirms and fulfills the former books. Concerning Jews and Christians the Quran says that Muhammad is the prophet and messenger written (predicted) in the Torah and the Gospel with them (See Quran 7/157) and they identified him as they identify their own children (See Quran 3/146). A messenger or prophet comes and fulfils prophesies in the Quran is to be believed by Muslims, and only he is the confirming the Book with us.
None can argue that the Quran contains prophesy concerning me or someone else, which helps Muslims to identify him as their own children. So, HY compelled to point out some portents of the last-day in the Quran, and even something other than this too as the portents of a messenger Mahdi. According to RK he is the messenger of the covenant in Quran 3/81. (See the foot note to 3/81 in his Quran translation and commentary and Appendix 2 to the same.) And his own finding on the so-called interlocking of the magical number 19 in the Quran is to prove this claim, and he claims that he was appointed by the God to reveal the magic of 19. If Allah proposed to do so He might have revealed it through the Quran itself or through Prophet Muhammad, especially the miracle of the Quran, which leads people to belief, is very important at all times.
According to RK the matter of miracle is different. By the experiment using his own formula of 19, he reached at the stage of questioning the reliability of the existing Quran. In his Quran translation he removed two verses (128 and 129) from the chapter 9, charging these two are inserted false verses. (See appendix 29 to his Quran translation.http://www.submission.org/Q-T.html ) There might be a chance of his being of an instrument in the hands of someone who wish to ruin the reliability of the Quran.
The name of Mahdi is not mentioned in the Quran, so there is no chance to search for his portents in it as do HY in his some works. Prophet Muhammad told that he is Muhammad and Ahmad.(Bukhari, Muslim) so, the Messenger Ahmad predicted by Jesus is none other than the Prophet Muhammad himself. This is the view of all classical Quran commentators. And name of Mahdi also would Ahmad or Muhammad, according to traditions.

Nabi and Rasul
Rasul (Messenger) and Nabi, (Prophet) are two words in the terminology of Islam. Muslim scholars discussed much on whether any difference in between these two or not. Some of them give Messengers a position above the Prophets. ‘All messengers are prophets, but all prophets are not messengers’ this is their formula. While some others give the prophets a position above the messengers, ‘All prophets are messengers, but all messengers are not prophets’, and this is their formula. But none of them could establish their arguments with clear-cut evidence.
RK and HY agree that Muhammad is the last prophet, but they agree him not as the last messenger. According to RK and HY only the new-book-given is a prophet, we have to examine this in the light of the Quran. It says: It is not righteousness that you turn your faces to the East or the West, but truly righteous is he who believes in ALLAH, the Last Day, the angels, the Book and the Prophets, …… (2/177) while we read at 2/285: This Messenger of OURS (Muhammad) believes in that which has been revealed to him from his Lord, and so do the believers; all of them believe in ALLAH, in HIS angels, in HIS Books, and in HIS Messengers, …..In both verses Quran teach the main elements of belief in Islam, four elements are stated in the both quoted portions. 2/177 enjoins us to believe in the prophets as the fourth element, while 2/285 enjoins to believe in the messengers as the fourth. This clearly explains that these two terms bear the same meaning, one who sent by the Allah, with or without a new Book or Law.
All those who sent by Allah is not equal, some of them are more important. Quran says: These messengers have WE exalted some of them above others; among them there are those to whom ALLAH spoke and some of them HE exalted in degrees of rank and WE gave Jesus son of Mary clear proofs and strengthened him with the spirit of holiness. (2/253)See one more verse: And thy Lord knows best those that are in the heavens and the earth. And WE exalted some of the Prophets over others and to David WE gave a Book. (17/55)
In these two verses Quran reveals the same thing. All of Allah’s prophets and messengers are not equal, but Allah exalted some of them above than others. This is not the matter I like to focus here. But in the first verse Quaran used the term messengers while in the second the term prophets, and states the same thing. In the first verse: Moses (to whom Allah spoke), and Jesus mentioned, both are book-given. While in the second verse David is mentioned, he also a book-given. In both verses Allah has shown examples for prophets as well as messengers only the book-givens. If the argument of RK and HY was correct, Allah should have not shown Moses and Jesus as the example for messengers.
The argument of RK and HY that is only the book-given can be called a prophet and others are only messengers cannot be proved by the Quran. Quran introducing messengers and says they are given books: It says: Verily, WE sent Our Messengers with manifest Signs and sent down with them the Book and the Balance that nation may act with justice; and WE sent down iron, wherein is material for violent warfare and diverse uses for mankind, and that ALLAH may know those who help HIM and HIS Messengers without having seen Him. Surely, ALLAH is Powerful, Mighty. (57/25)One more verse: And if they accuse thee of lying, even so were accused of lying Messengers before thee who came with clear Signs and Books of wisdom and the illuminating Book. (3/184)Here, messengers are introduced, as bringers of the Books.
Harun the brother of Prophet Moses also called a prophet, while he was not given any book by Allah. The Book Torah was given to Moses, not to Harun. In an article in his website RK questioned this view, by indicating Quran 37/117. And WE gave them (Moses and Harun) the Book that made everything clear; RK says that both Moses and Harun was given the book. But, those-who-given-book-to-them is a common term in the Quran, which points out the people of the Books. If we consider all the book-givens are prophets the number of prophets would be many billions. Really they have been not given books, but they are the followers of a book-given prophet and messenger. So the Quran can say ‘And WE gave them (Moses and Harun) the Book’, if it was not personally given to Harun too.
Quran says about the leaders of the Jews: Surely, WE sent down the Torah wherein guidance and light was. By it did the Prophets, who were obedient to US, judge for the Jews, as did the godly people and those learned in the Law, because they were required to preserve the Book of ALLAH, and because they were guardians over it. (5/47) Allah sent down the Torah, and then all prophets judged with it, and the Godly people and the learned also did so, and that is agreed by this verse here. So according to the argument of RK and HY a question arises that what did do all messengers came to that community? By what did they judge the people? According the view of RK and HY, messengers are more in number than prophets. Our answer is this: It is clear that the messengers and prophets are the same, so, Allah used only the word prophet here and meant all sent by Him.
Muhammad is the last as the prophet and the messenger
The Quran 33/40 states that Muhammad is the last prophet. See 17 different translation of the 33rd chapter of the Quran to the English athttp://www.islamawakened.com/quran/33/, seven of the translators clearly state that the meaning of the Arabic term ‘Khaatham annabiyyin’ is ‘the last or final of all prophets’, while the others translate it as the ‘seal of the prophets. The most famous of them, Abdullah Yusuf Ali translated it into ‘the seal of the prophets’, then he commented it, the term means ‘the last of the prophets’. Rashad Kalifa is one among who translated ‘the last prophet, in his Quran translation. And HY also translated it in the same manner in one of his works. "… Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah and the Final Seal of the Prophets." (Surat al-Ahzab: 40), the Prophet Muhammad (saas) was sent to mankind as the last prophet. (See introduction to ‘THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD (SAAS))
The Qadianis agree neither this meaning nor this interpretation. They have their own interpretation that Muhammad is the seal of prophets, and prophets and messengers will come after him ‘bearing the seal of Muhammad’, but, without new books or new laws. If you ask them the proof thereof they do not answer you clearly from Quarn or Sunnah, but you may get explanations by their own logics. While all the classical commentators, such as Imams Ibn Katheer, Razi, Thabri, Qurtubi, Shaukani, and Zamakhshari etc. explained this term as equivalent to ‘the last and final of all prophets, and there would be no prophet or messenger after him till the destruction of this world’.
We came to know from the above mentioned facts that Muhammad is believed by all Muslims as the last prophet and the last messenger. And the prophet Muhammad himself clearly stated it as follows: My similitude in relation to the prophets who came before me like a man erected a building, adorned it and completed it, but he left the place of a brick vacant, in the corner. People looked around the building and marveled at its beauty, but wondered why a brick was missing? I am the brick and I am Khatham annabiyyin (the last of the Prophets.) (Bukhari, Ahmad) Please note that the term ‘Khatham annabiyyin’ in this tradition cannot be translated other than to ‘last of the prophets’.RK removed ‘Wa Ash-hadu anna Muhammada-rrasulu-llah’ the second part of the Kalimathu –sshahadah, and he does not believe in hadiths. But HY is a member of Ahlu ssunnah wal-jama’ah, a follower of Quarn and Hadiths. We can read about the finality of messenger-ship in Hadith: The Messenger-ship and Prophet-hood has come to an end. There shall be neither Messenger nor Prophet after me. (Tirmidhi, Ahmad)Sallallahu ‘ala Muhammad Sallallahu ‘alaihi va sallamalikoyakk@gmail.com

A letter to Ali Manikfan (Sub: Islamic Month)

2009-09-06T04:17:00.003-07:00

Dear Ali Manikfan, Assalamu alaikum,

Thank you for your mail.

Preface: The main thing I could understand about you so far is that you are NOT ready to discuss any area of the Hilal problem. Whenever I write about a point, or I answer your any question with proof you flee from a thorough discussion about the same area, and asking me a/some new question/s about another area/s of the matter.

For example: see some of your recent mails. When you asked me about correctness of the hilal sighting for the month of Ramadan (That occurred on the eve of the 21^st of the August 2009), I answered you in positive manner with astronomical evidence and moon sighting reports, but your answer was very pity one; I like to quote you here: "Dear Ali koya, Assalamu alaikum WR WB, I know what I am telling is the truth. You may follow what you know. You have no right to judge others "What arrogance? Arrogance of ignorance!

Although I pointed out the need of a thorough discussion about the hilal of Ramadan, you fled from it to the waning moon of the Shaaban. I strongly opposed it by denoting that Allah or His messenger did not enjoin us to do it. Your answer was a quotation form the Quran i.e. 36: 39. Really this Quranic verse is not about the date fixing method; but it invites human attention to one of Allah's sign. As you were obstinate in the discussion about the waning moon of Shaaban I yielded to you. In that discussion your stand was utterly baseless. You reported that the waning moon was not seen on the dawn of the 20^th August 2009. According to astronomical evidence your report about your own observation was unbelievable. And I gave you evidence for that the sunrise on that day was 20 minutes after the moonrise. See the time chart of the sun/moon rise/set of August 20:

Moon 20/8/2009	Rise 05:54	Set 18:34	12:15	87.6°	360,649	0.1%	New at 15:31
Sun 20/8/2009	Rise 06:15	Set 18:36	12h 21m 48s	− 25s	12:26	86.1°	151.362

But you kept silence about the above shown astronomical evidence and went to a new area of discussion.

So, you started to discuss about the hilal of Shaaban and challenged me to show you at least a single person on this world who sighted the hilal of Shaaban on the 22^nd of July. I quote you here: "Thank you very much for your reply informing me that you have begun Shaban on Thursday the 23rd of July 2009. Certainly the Qazhis and the Hilaal committee have begun Shaban without seeing the hilaal which could not be seen on Wednesday 22-7-2009.They have committed a mistake. Are these Qazhis and Hilaal committees playing with the Sunnah of the Prophet SAW? If the Prophet SAW has commanded to begin the month after seeing the crescent why did they begin Shaban before they saw the Hilaal on Wednesday? Are they changing the religion of Allah as they like, sometime beginning the month after seeing the Hilaal and sometimes without seeing the Hilaal as they like?. Hilaal of Shaban was seen on Thursday the first of Shaban. Has anyone living in this world seen the Hilaal on the evening of Wednesday 22-7-2009? Please produce your evidence. You cannot play with the religion Allah."

I faced your challenge with these words: "According to astronomy the moon setting time on the 22 July is after 20 minutes of the sunset. Then why sighting hilal is not possible? Is 20 minutes of moon lag time not enough to see it? Do not you believe in astronomy too? Is this foolishness your scientific method?"

Then I added in the next mail to you: "See a report from http://www.moonsighting.com/1430shb.html Dr. Hussain Dashti (MCW member) Gainesville, Florida reported: Today, Wednesday 22/7/09, I was able to see the new moon with a 10X50 binocular ONLY from Gainesville, Florida USA. Mercury was also only visible with binocular. Sunset: 20:25 (behind far trees). Moon first seen with binocular: 20:42 and last seen with binocular: 20:54'. IS THIS ENOUGH? I think Florida is in this world. Do not play with Allah and His religion; do not make people go astray. Do not make people fools."

By these two mails I gave you both astronomical and of eye witness evidences. But alas! You fled from the discussion about the hilal of Shaaban to the hilal of Rajab. I quote you here: "You have been playing with the Shariah. Now you come to the point. I am not talking about your astronomy. Do you know that Allah SWT has made Rajab one of the sacred months? When did you begin Rajab? How many phases did you count in Rajab? I am a witness. You have made a mistake in Rajab. You are changing the months of Allah SWT. He has made some months 29 and some months 30 and appointed phases for the moon on the very He created the Heavens and the earth. You are inter-changing His months. You say that the Prophet SAW has permitted you to make the months of 29 into 30. A blatant lie on the Prophet SAW. He has not permitted anyone to do that. You go your way. Please do not blame others. Let Allah judge on the day of Judgment".

My dear brother, why you are doing like these? When I submit some pieces of evidences what would you have to do? Anyhow, is it right to flee from the light of evidence to the darkness of your mere conjecture. Do not you love and fear Allah? Because of your fleeing habit I did not answer you about the beginning of Rajab, I know the last Rajab is not the first month after the creation of this world, and I am sure that you will not hesitate to flee from Rajab to the previous month, then to the previous one of it. And if I give you any evidence about the starting of Rajab you would not be ready to discuss it, you should have gone to another area.

Really I like to discuss this matter with you, but you are not in a positive manner. Anyway I have to ask you some questions, many of them are which asked by me within two weeks, and you did not answer to.

One: According to Islam a day begins from the sunset. E.g. when we say Lailathul Jumua (the night of Friday) means the night before the day-time of Friday. The night of Friday starts from the sunset of Thursday. So the Muslim world recites Surah Kafiroon and Ikhlas in the Magrib prayer immediately after the sunset of Thursday, and in Ramadan they start their Tharaaweeh on the night previous to first day of observing fast, and they do not perform Tharaaweeh on the night previous to Eid al fithr. But you opposed this and judged it non-Islamic and blamed it a custom of the Jews. I repeatedly asked you to show me a piece of evidence supporting your argument. I am sorry to say, you utterly failed to do it. And this is clear-cut evidence that you are lying about beginning time of a day (of 24 hours) in Islam. You should withdraw this false argument and repent Allah, unless he will punish you.

Two: In Islamic world, it is a well known concept that the beginning of a month should be AFTER sighting the new hilal. For example if the hilal is seen after the sunset of Friday the Saturday should be the first day of the next month. If we look in hadeeth books we can see supports only for this concept. The Muslim world from its advent to this day practices thus without any censure. But you dared to oppose the Prophet and this agreed upon method. See your words: "From where did you get the rumour that we should not fast before seeing the hilaal? Why do you worry about it?"

My reply to this was as follows: "According to the observations by many show us that the new crescent of Ramadan was seen after the sunset of the Friday 21st August 2009. What does this observation do for us to understand the beginning of Ramadan?
Please see many reports in Hadeeth books PROPHET STARTED FASTING AND ORDERED MUSLIMS TO START FASTING FROM THE NEXT DAWN AFTER SEEING THE CRESCENT AT THE SUNSET TIME. (Narated by Ibn Umar: I heard Allah's apostle saying "when you see the crescent (of the month of Ramadan) start fasting, and when you see the crescent (of the month of Shawwal) stop fasting; and if the sky is overcast (and you can't see it) then regard the crescent (month) of Ramadan (as of 30 days). (Bukhari))
So what was done by the Muslims from many parts of the world have done, this year, is according the method practiced and taught by prophet of Allah (s).THE MUSLIM WORLD SAW CRESCENT AFTER THE SUNSET OF FRIDAY, AND STARTEDTO OBSERVE FAST FROM THE DAWN OF SATURDAY. They are in right path, and Dear Ali Manikfan you are wrong, because you started Ramadan one day before the seeing of crescent, and observing fast on that day is forbidden in Islam. (Abu hurairah reported Allah's messenger saying: Do not observe for a day or two days ahead of Ramadan except a person who is in the habit of observing a particular fast; he may fast on that day. (Muslim)"

Even you agreed that the crescent of Ramadan could be seen after the sunset of Friday, along with this you started fasting from the dawn of Friday. The Muslim world started after sighting crescent, but you did before sighting it. Muslim world follows the path of Prophet Muhammad (s) while you are opposing it. Where is the evidence for beginning fast one day before sighting the new crescent? Did our prophet or his disciple ever practice like that? Why did you start fasting on a fast-forbidden-day? Why you are playing with Islam and its rules?

Three: You wrote that the crescent of Ramadan could not be seen in Shaaban. I quote you here: "Have you ever seen the first waxing crescent in the end of the month? Please let me know this."

The Muslim world does not believe in such a folly. Your utter ignorance about the beginning of a day and month in Islam made you ask like this. As I cleared above, while we are seeing the sunset we are entering into the following day. Along with this if we are seeing the new crescent on the western horizon, at that moment we are entering into the following month too. While some of us, ignoring the astronomical forecast, were seeking the new crescent immediately after the sunset of the Thursday the 20^th August 2009 were not seeking the crescent of Ramadan in Sahaban, but they were seeking to know whether the Ramadan begins from that sunset or not. When they failed to sight crescent they decided to complete Shaban as a 30-day-month. On contrary to this you are started to observe fast from the last day of Shaban, and it is forbidden by the prophet (hadeeth quoted in section number two). Dear Ali Manikfan, please try to study the basics of Islam; it is better than criticizing others and misleading people.

Four: You have received an article written by me, in Malayalam, (copy of which is attached to this message too) criticizing your method, and arguing that your basic concept on the begging of month and day, the concept of Qiblah line are utterly baseless and only conjecture. You have been keeping silence about it. Do not you have to say anything about it? Why?

Five: The Quran and our prophet enjoined us to look for new crescent at the time of sunset, on the western horizon, and if it seen then to begin fast from the following dawn. You wrote that you are regularly watching all phases of moon and counting it. And you decide the staring of the next month basing on this observation. Can you show me a piece of evidence which proves that your method is correctly according to the Quran and Sunnah? Why do you look to the eastern horizon before sunrise; while we are enjoined to look to the western horizon immediately after the sunset? Once in a mail I asked you: "Where is the evidence to seek crescent in the eastern horizon?" But you kept silence!

Six: Once you asked me:' If the Prophet SAW has ordered us that we should begin the month after seeing the crescent then we must do so. We have no other alternative. Please reply me to the point.' As you know global level discussions being held on this issue, but our scholars could not reach to a conclusion. Anyhow I am sure that your formula is not a solution but a problem and a Fithna, because you are putting everything upside down. According to this you are seeking for the new crescent of Ramadan after breaking first fast. Once in a mail I asked you: "Where is the evidence for seeking new hilal after observing one day's fast?" But you kept silence!

Seven: In the same manner (shown in no Six) you decided to celebrate Eid al Fithr on the last day of Ramadan corresponding to 19^th August 2009, that also another Haram and Fithnah. See carefully this astronomical forecast about sun/moon rise/set on the Saturday 18^th the September 2009:

Date	Sunrise	Sunset	This day	Difference	Time	Altitude	Distance
							(10⁶ km)
18/9/2009	06:12	18:21	12h 08m 41s	− 27s	12:16	83.3°	150.313

Date	Moonrise	Moonset	Time	Altitude	Distance	Illuminated	Phase
Date	Moonrise	Moonset	Time	Altitude		Illuminated	Phase
18/9/2009	05:31	17:56	11:44	82.5°	366,602	0.5%

There are three objections to your decision to celebrate Eid on 19^th August 2009. Firstly: on the 18^th of this month Sun sets on 18:21 while moon sets on 17:56. The moonset is before 25 minutes of the sunset. No need for explanation, see hadeeth quoted in section number two: "when you see the crescent (of the month of Shawwal) stop fasting", But you are going to stop fasting one day before seeing the new crescent. Secondly: On the same day sun rises on 6:12 while moon rises on 5:31. Moon rising is before 41 minutes of sun rising, so the waning moon can be seen on that day. See your words: "The hilaal of Sha’ban 1430 was seen on Thursday (23-07-2009) evening the first of Sha’ban. The last waning crescent, like an old urjoon mentioned in the Book of Allah also seen on Wednesday (19-08-2009) The crescent is not seen on Thursday (today) morning. This indicates that Thursday (20-08-2009) is the last day of Sha’ban So Ramadan will rightly fall on Friday 21-08-2009, The entire Muslim Ummah should begin fasting on Friday". And one more quotation from a letter forwarded by you: "We have seen it on 19 August, Wednesday morning and we have not seen the moon on Thursday because it had no phase. It was the last day or 29th of Shaban." According to your concept the day on which the waning moon can be seen cannot be the last day of that month, and there should be a day on which waxing or waning crescents cannot be seen, which is the last day of the month. Where is the NO-PHASE-DAY of the month Ramadan? Then how can you celebrate Eid al Fithr on Saturday 18^th 2009? (See the astronomical forecast about the waning moon on 20^th August 2009 in the preface.) Thirdly: The press release by your Hijrah Committee published in Malayalam Daily Madhyamam states that the moon lag time of less than 48 minutes lacks the visibility of waxing crescent, if it is true the waxing crescent will not be seen on the eve of your Eid al Fithr. Because the moon lags time is only 21 minutes on that day. See time chart:

Sun 19/9/2009	Rise 06:12	Set 18:20	12h 08m 13s	− 27s	12:16	82.9°	150.272
Moon19/9/2009	Rise 06:25	Set 18:41	12:34	76.0°	370,026	0.5%	New at 00:14

If the data, given by your committee, about the visibility of waxing moon is true how can you celebrate Eid al Fithr on Saturday? Once I asked you: "Where is the evidence for seeking Hilal AFTER celebrating the Eid?"

Eight: You wrote that the International Date Line should be considered as the Qiblah Line too. In my above said article in Malayalam I questioned this concept and cleared that there could not be a Qiblah Line at all, and proved that it is mere conjecture. You wrote, forgetting that earth is a globe, that the QIblah of Alaska is eastwards. But the truth do not follow your conjecture, see the Qibla direction of Alaska in the picture, it is northward direction.

Can you show me evidences for that your arguments about Qiblah line are right, and Alaska's Qiblah is eastward direction?

Nine: You wrote that the people of the Book in Madeenah were performing Hajj. Can you show me evidence for that?

Ten: You wrote that the first Muslims of Madeenah came from the people of the Book. Where is the historical evidence for that?

A letter from Ali Manikfan and my reply (Sub: Islamic Month)

2009-09-02T08:45:00.000-07:00

The letter forwarded by Ali Manikfan:

Dear Brothers & Sisters

Assalamu Alaikum W R W B

There are many moon watching programs and committees now. They have
their records of observation too.

I have asked them how many phases for the moon they have counted for
Shaban. They have not answered the question.

Almighty Allah informs us in His Book very clearly that "Hiya
mawaakeethu linnaasi" (The phases of the moon are dates for the
people).

Is it not clear from this that each phase is a date?

All these moon sighting groups agree that they have seen the crescent moon
of Shaban on 23 July, Thursday evening. Even Dr.Salman and his group
have no objection to this. Now I want to know whether this crescent of
Thursday belongs to Rajab? Please note that these groups who are
watching the moon began Shaban on 24 July, Friday saying that Thursday
was the last day of Rajab.

Also note that there was a solar eclipse on 22 July, Wednesday.

How can the waxing crescent belong to Rajab? If it is so, there is
some thing wrong in the system that Almighty Allah has made to show
the people their date. Naoodu billah!

Is this not contrary to Quran :"Maa tharaa fee khalqir Rahmaani min
thafaawuth.". Ask them to see again, because they are committing a
blunder.

Hilaal of Shaban will be seen in Shaban only. If it is seen on
Thursday it is the first day of Shaban.

I request all these groups to study from the research of Dr. Khalid
Shaukat who has proved that the first waxing crescent is seen on the
first day of the month.

So people have witnessed that Hilaal of Shaban was seen on 23 July,
Thursday evening. When did they see the last waning crescent "Urji
Oonil Qadeem" of Shaban?

We have seen it on 19 August, Wednesday morning and we have not seen
the moon on Thursday because it had no phase. It was the last day or
29th of Shaban

Do the moon sighting people or Br Sajid or Br Hassan Koya have any
objection to it? Br Sajid and Br Hassan Koya have been blaming us of
creating Fitna.

They have seen only 28 phases. Then how did they assign 29 phases to
Shaban? Have they not put one day of Ramdaan into Shaban? If it is so,
it is tantamount to Kufur, violation of Allah's limts. So these people
have certainly missed the first day of Ramdaan's fasting.

Now again let them not commit the same mistake by fasting on the day
of Eidul Fitre which falls on 19 September , Saturday according to the
Book of Allah and the tradition of the Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) .

Let the Muslim Ummah celebrate the EidulFitre on the right day and
earn blessings of Almighty Allah.

May Almighty Allah Keep all of us in the the True Path and shower
His blessings on all of us. Aameen

My reply to this letter:

Dear Ali Manikfan, Assalamu alaikum,
Thanks for your mail.
I hope you got a mail (Malayalam, pdf) from me. Please read it
carefully. The reply to the problem you have arisen in this mail can
be seen in it.
According to the Quran "ahillah' is the sign for the starting of the
lunar month i.e. Islamic month. All your doubts are by the cause your
IGNORANCE about the starting of the day (DIvasam, of 24 hours) in
Islamic concept, it starts from the sunset.
According to the observations by many show us that the new crescent of
Ramadan was seen after the sunset of the Friday 21st August 2009. What
does this observation do for us to understand the starting of Ramadan?
Please see many reports in Hadeeth books PROPHET STARTED FASTING AND
ORDERED MUSLIMS TO START FASTING FROM THE NEXT DAWN AFTER SEEING THE
CRESCENT AT THE SUNSET TIME. (Narated by Ibn Umar: I heard Allah's
apostle saying "when you see the crescent (of the month of Ramadan)
start fasting, and when you see the crescent (of the month of Shawwal)
stop fasting; and if the sky is overcast (and you can't see it) then
regard the crescent (month) of Ramadan (as of 30 days). (Bukhari))
So what the Muslims from many parts of the world have done this year
is according the method practiced and taught by prophet of Allah (s).
THE MUSLIM WORLD SAW CRESCENT AFTER THE SUNSET OF FRIDAY, AND STARTED
TO OBSERVE FAST FROM THE DAWN OF SATURDAY. They are in right path, and
Dear Ali Manikfan you are wrong, because you started Ramadan one day
before the seeing of crescent, and observing fast on that day is
forbidden in Islam. (Abu hurairah reported Allah's messenger saying:
Do not observe for a day or two days ahead of Ramadan except a person
who is in the habit of observing a particular fast; he may fast on
that day. (Muslim))
In Islam a day (of 24 hours) starts from the sunset. While seeing the
crescent of the of the Ramada an on western horizon, at the sunset of
the Friday, we entered in to the SATURDAY the first day of Ramadan and
we observed fast on the correct day and time. Alhamdu lillah.

10 Questions to the criticizers

2009-03-03T07:28:00.000-08:00

Somebody sends letter to me criticising the article titled "Harun Yahya and the last messenger " in this blog, I like to ask them some questions and I will write more after getting their reply:
Questions:
1. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that Mahdi would be a messenger after Prophet Muhammad(S)?
2. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that any type of messenger is predicted or possible to come after Prophet Muhammad(S)?
3. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that the messenger named Ahmad who predicted by Jesus to come after him (Quran 61/6) is a messenger who comes after Prophet Muhammad(S)?
4. The Quran 3/81 deals with a covenant of Allah which has been taken from prophets. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that this covenant has been taken from Muhammad too, and the messenger of covenant is a messenger who comes after Muhammad?
5. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that Muhammad is not the last messenger?
6. Can you show me a single reliable scholar who said that Mahdi will be a messenger who comes after Muhammad?
7. What is your opinion about the following hadeeth: (Prophet Muhammad said that) "The Messenger-ship and Prophet-hood has come to an end. There shall be neither Messenger nor Prophet after me." (Tirmidhi, Ahmad)?
8. Whence you have got the concept of 'every Muslim is a messenger'? Is it from the Quran and sunnah or from satan?
9. We enjoined to believe that لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله means there is no god but Allah; Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Is it enough to pronounce that كل مسلم رسول الله means 'every Muslim is a messenger' instead of the second part of our kalimah? Or can you say both are equal?
10. What are the meanings of 'Nabi and Rasul' (in English)? Is there any difference between these two terms? What are the difference, if any?
