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.

Allah Is the Pre-Islamic Moon-God, It Can Never Be the God of the Jews and Christians: The Quran, a Book That Reflects the Inexistence of the Moon-God

This book, takes as reference, books written by renowned orientalist scholars, whose names are mentioned inside, specialized in ancient Arabic language as well as numerous archaeological discoveries. With this work, I try clearly to explain, why the Muslim Allah is the moon-god, therefore an idol, worshiped by the pre-Islamic Arab tribes at the time of Muhammad, and compared forcefully, by the alleged prophet, to the biblical God. In fact, all the ceremonies and rites that are currently being fulfilled by Muslims are, without exception, exactly the same rites and ceremonies, performed by pre-Islamic Arab populations to honor the idols of the Kaaba including the moon-god, Allah. I also write why the Kaaba could not have been built by Abraham. I explain why, since the Muslim Allah is the moon-god, thus an idol, cannot have dictated the Quran which was, therefore, conceived and written by men. In this book I explain why the Ramadan cannot have been ordained by any divine being. In this volume I point out, that, according to some of the greatest scholars of the Islamic religion and the Arabic language, the words "Islam" and "Muslim" are not words that existed at the time of Muhammad, so they could not have been written in the Quran and also that the Quran is a book written in a period far away from the alleged prophet lifetime. I wrote two chapters, to point out some senseless verses as well as different contradictions and assertions that, from what they declare, must necessarily come from human minds, always to show that Allah is the moon-god, an idol. I point out that in the Quran is indirectly asserted that their moon-god, Allah cannot be neither omnipotent nor omniscient. In this work I highlight two surah that clearly prove that the supposed Muslim holy book cannot come anywhere other than human minds and that therefore their god Allah does not exist. In this volume I cited the title of a book, written by an Iranian scholar, which points out how the Quran is a forgery. I also wrote clearly that not even Muslims know who should have dictated the Quran to Muhammad. I expose, in this volume, the reasons why the abrogating and the abrogated, the statement that later verses should repeal antecedent verses dealing with the same argument, cannot exist, whatever Muslims declare. I clearly illustrate why there can be no Muslim exegetes trying to explain incomprehensible Quranic surah. I negate, as clearly as possible, that their moon-god, Allah, a non-existent idol, could have sent something to anyone to confirm the Scriptures. I have also tried to explain the reason that clearly indicates, as written in the Quran, that their god Allah can be neither omniscient nor omnipotent, in opposition to what Muslims declare. I point out why the biblical God could not have nothing do with the self-appointed messenger. According to researches accomplished by scholars, as well as archeological discoveries, it is known now, that the self-appointed messenger, was never mentioned until 60 years after his death. I rebut, in this work of mine, the fact that God, according to what the alleged prophet wrote in the Quran, could forget and make mistakes, while he (the self-appointed messenger), remembered everything and apparently could not make mistakes. I also outlined, in my book, the reason why all the hadiths can be refuted and how.
