Nama bulan Ramadhan dah digunakan sebelum turunnya al-Quran lagi. Bukannya orang-orang Arab tu tak tau?
Setahu saya bulan ramadhan ejaannya - ra-mim-dha-alif-nun
berbeza dengan ...
peace to you Ibnur,
you are right about "ra-mim-dha". it is the root word.
the rest are generic word of "ra-mim-dha" but carry pretty much the same meaning - hot.
These informations make me ask questions.
Surah 97. Power, Fate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the
Night of Power:
2. And what will explain to thee what the
night of power is?
3. The
Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
4. Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by Allah.s permission, on every errand:
5. Peace!...This until the rise of morn!
The night was only one night. It was
not nights. Quran was sent down in
one night in ramadhan. this means, the moon, the earth the sun, was at certain position up there. the earth was at one position relative to the sun. meaning, the season should be the same every year, untill today. summer. hot.
another thing. look up the last speech of prophet muhammad. "....do not temper the calender....", was among other things that he said. what made him said that? will he said that if nobody did attemp to temper the calendar?
these what nagging me. however.....i do not have the exact answers.
only God knows best.
peace
