Thanks, I am not that familiar with the Wiki communication features so something may be rather inefficient. The Koranic verse here is 9:37: Verily the transposing (of a prohibited month) is an addition to Unbelief: the Unbelievers are led to wrong thereby: for they make it lawful one year, and forbidden another year, in order to adjust the number of months forbidden by Allah and make such forbidden ones lawful. The evil of their course seems pleasing to them. But Allah guideth not those who reject Faith. <br> | Thanks, I am not that familiar with the Wiki communication features so something may be rather inefficient.

Traditionally the Arab added a month every so many years to synchronize sun and moon calendar. This a rather coarse way but sun and moon calendar don't get out of synch completely like is the case now. see: http://islam.about.com/cs/calendar/a/hijrah_calendar.htm for the current one. For the older one e.g. http://www.jstor.org/discover/10.2307/20837003?uid=3737536&uid=2&uid=4&sid=21104072781421 (PW.

Hi Jansen. I've removed the "[http://wikiislam.net/w/index.php?title=Qur%27an,_Hadith_and_Scholars:Islamic_Theology&diff=prev&oldid=109359 Pray to Muhammad]" section you added to "Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Islamic Theology". There were several problems: | |||
1. The page is about Islamic theology, not Allah. Your comment about "One wonders, who answers Allah's prayers," shifts the focus from Muslim beliefs onto Allah's characteristics. | |||
2. There is a big difference between "sending blessings" onto someone and praying to someone. A quick Google search brings up some interesting stuff, e.g. [http://www.hcna.us/columns/blessing.html]. I've heard this argument before. In fact others have tried to add it here and there in the past and it has always been removed. It is not an accurate criticism of Allah/Islam so does not belong here. | |||
3. Even if we accepted the argument, we would not word it in the way you did. We try to approach things in a professional manner, so the sarcastic tone is not welcome. | |||
I'm not on here very often now, but if you have any questions, I'll gladly answer them when I can. Thanks. [[User:Sahab|--Sahab]] ([[User talk:Sahab|talk]]) 21:26, 20 August 2014 (PDT) | |||
