I wrote a long letter of many pages to explain everything again, but then then I saved it on to my drafts rather than tax your time and thought I ll give you something straight forward to think about. I will only mention one thing. The dating system of the Prophet (pbuh) can only be how he wanted it to be based on what Allah revealed to him (pbuh). When I first wrote to you many months ago, I has asked you a question in that letter which was never answered - The question is as below

Now again I ask: conjunction of the end of dhil Qayda on 0010 AH occurred on 25th Feb, 632 about 9 pm UT which was a Tuesday. You can check this on http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/phase/phases0601.html or www.timeanddate.com for the day

So according to you the criteria of next day after conjunction, the first day of Dhul haj would have been Wednesday, and then the 9th of dhul haj- day of Arafa would be Thursday. You and I know that Arafa was on Friday according to the hadith in Bukhari. Even Manikfan uses this a reference point on your website- note by the editor. If we agree to Manikfan's method of next day of conjunction at UT, then we have to say Prophet (pbuh) got it wrong. Or we have to say, the Prophet (pbuh) got it correct, and Manikfan got it wrong.

Now this is enough proof that the method of the Prophet (pbuh) was not by next day of conjunction like what your mentor would like you to believe or by Jibreel (AS) showing the month etc, rather by seeing the first crescent as stated in the hadith of Bukhari/Muslim where Mother of the Believers Aisha (Rad) stated that she went to the Prophet (pbuh) upon the appearance of the 'hilal of dhul haj'. 2 hadith in bukahri and 2 in muslim (copied and pasted below the email). Have a look at the visibility curve for the same day.... and now tell me if day after conjunction was the Prophet (pbuh) criteria or day of first visibilty?

This is enough for me to know that the Prophet's method is the best method and anything other than that is not for simple people like me who wants to be close to the method of the Prophet (pbuh)

Approximately 50 hadeeths are I found related to Arafa in the book of Saheehul Bukhari. Let us try to inspect the Hadeeths in Saheehul Bukhari, There are only four Hadiths in this regard from Appx. 50 hadeeths of Arafa .One is directly from Omer bin Khatab (given just below) and other three are narrated by Tariq Bin Shihab. But these are different from one another and make confusions. Consequently it was an answer to the question of a Jew. So we can conclude that it was made purposely to make confusion in day and date.

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 God and make such forbidden ones lawful . The evil of their course seems pleasing to them. But God guideth not those who reject faith. 9:37

(If you put the meaning as month or crescent what should be the result? It is hundred percent same what we are doing now. If you have a thinkable brain you can find it is utterly forbidden)

I have given the four hadeeths below. But we can take evidently only one which is from Umer bin Khattab(rad).

Narrated By 'Umar bin Al-Khattab : Once a Jew said to me, "O the chief of believers! There is a verse in your Holy Book which is read by all of you, and had it been revealed to us, we would have taken that day on which it was revealed as a day of celebration." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab asked, "Which is that verse?" The Jew replied, "This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as your religion." (5:3) 'Umar replied, "No doubt, we know when and where this verse was revealed to the Prophet. It was Friday and the Prophet was standing at Arafat.

According to this hadees at a first sight normally we will think that Friday was Arafah.

a) If it was on Arafah day Omer should say that it was on Arafah day simply. But He said the place and day separately

b) It was a significant event in Islamic History which was the day of completion of Islam. So the speech of prophet is reported in almost 15 hadeeths in Sheehul Bukhari what I found and all of them are reported in the day of Nahr not in the of Arafa because the day of Nahr was an important point in the speech.

c) As I mentioned above it was the day of completion of Islam the things should be completed in that day. If it was on Arafah day it is not a completion because the Hajj is not completing with Arafah day. Especially it was the Hajj of Prophet. So Allah wants to show every thing through His prophet as completed. Then He revealed it is completed.

d) Let us give an attention again to the Jew’s talk with Umer(rad), the Jew expressed the interest to make festival that day, the same time what Umer told? It was on Friday in Arafa. See the important of that day: It is Edul Azha for whole world. And Friday also is a normal Eid for whole world. So it was Eid in Day wise and Date wise. This is the way Allahu Thala make significant in things. But we could not attend these kinds of important because of the confusions in days and dates. The enemy of man, he knows in advance which is the point to hit to lead the community to astray so he made confusion in every significant events like the start of Hijra Era, Hajjatul Vida, Prophets Birth and Wafath etc.

Vol 6, Book 60. Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer Of The Prophet (pbuh)). Hadith130. Narrated By Tariq bin Shihab : The Jews said to 'Umar, "You (i.e. Muslims) recite a Verse, and had it been revealed to us, we would have taken the day of its revelation as a day of celebration." 'Umar said, "I know very well when and where it was revealed, and where Allah's Apostle was when it was revealed. (It was revealed on) the day of Arafat (Hajj Day), and by Allah, I was at Arafat" Sufyan, a sub-narrator said: I am in doubt whether the Verse: "This day I have perfected your religion for you." was revealed on a Friday or not. (It says “the jews” not “a Jew”, and it is a doubt was it Friday or not)

Vol 5, Book 59. Military Expeditions Led By The Prophet (pbuh) (Al-Maghaazi). Hadith 689. Narrated By Tariq bin Shibab : Some Jews said, "Had this Verse been revealed to us, we would have taken that day as 'Id (festival)." 'Umar said, "What Verse?" They said: "This day I have Perfected your religion for you, Completed My Favour upon you And have chosen for you Islam as your religion" (5.3) 'Umar said, "I know the place where it was revealed; It was revealed while Allah's Apostle was staying at 'Arafat."(Here is Some Jews and no Friday)

Vol 9, Book 92. Holding Fast To The Qur'an and Sunnah. Hadith 373. Narrated By Tariq bin Shihab : A Jew said to 'Umar, "O Chief of the Believers, if this verse: 'This day I have perfected your religion for you, completed My favors upon you, and have chosen for you, Islam as your religion.' (5.3) had been revealed upon us, we would have taken that day as an 'Id (festival) day." 'Umar said, "I know definitely on what day this Verse was revealed; it was revealed on the day of 'Arafat, on a Friday."(Here is Arafat on Friday)

Note: The one of the notable point is Tariq bin Shihab has narrated only this Hadees in three different meanings in Saheehul Bukhari. I found that he did not narrate any other Hadees of any other subject. Therefore we can conclude that the original Hadees from Omer bin Khatab is only true. The others are a creation of confusion.

Vol 9, Book 88. Afflictions And The End Of The World. Hadith 199. Narrated By Abu Bakra : Allah's Apostle addressed the people saying, "Don't you know what is the day today?" They replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." We thought that he might give that day another name. The Prophet said, "Isn't it the day of An-Nahr?" We replied, "Yes. O Allah's Apostle." He then said, "What town is this? Isn't it the forbidden (Sacred) Town (Mecca)?" We replied, "Yes, O Allah's Apostle." He then said, "Your blood, your properties, your honours and your skins (i.e., bodies) are as sacred to one another like the sanctity of this day of yours in this month of yours in this town of yours. (Listen) Haven't I conveyed Allah's message to you?" We replied, "Yes" He said, "O Allah! Be witness (for it). So it is incumbent upon those who are present to convey it (this message of mine) to those who are absent because the informed one might comprehend what I have said better than the present audience who will convey it to him.)" The narrator added: In fact, it was like that. The Prophet added, "Beware! Do not renegade as disbelievers after me by striking (cutting) the necks of one another."

Oneness, Uniqueness Of Allah (Tawheed). Hadith 539. Narrated By Abu Bakra : The Prophet said, "Time has come back to its original state which it had when Allah created the Heavens and the Earth, the year is twelve months, of which four are sacred; (and out of these four) three are in succession, namely, Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and (the fourth one) Rajab Mudar which is between Jumad (Ath-Tham) and Sha'ban." The Prophet then asked us, "Which month is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better." He kept quiet so long that we thought he might call it by another name. Then he said, "Isn't it Dhul-Hijja?" We said, "Yes." He asked "What town is this?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better.' Then he kept quiet so long that we thought he might call it by another name. He then said, "Isn't it the (forbidden) town (Mecca)?" We said, "Yes." He asked, "What is the day today?" We said, "Allah and His Apostle know (it) better. Then he kept quiet so long that we thought that he might call it by another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the Day of An-Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifices)?" We said, "Yes." Then he said, "Your blood (lives), your properties," (the sub narrator Muhammad, said: I think he also said): "...and your honour) are as sacred to one another like the sanctity of this Day of yours, in this town of yours, in this month of yours.

You shall meet your Lord and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Don't go astray after me by striking the necks of one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform it to those who are absent for perhaps the informed one might comprehend it (understand it) better than some of the present audience." Whenever the sub-narrator Muhammad mentioned that statement, he would say, "The Prophet said the truth.") And then the Prophet added, "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message to you! No doubt! Haven't I conveyed Allah's Message to you?"

Now in absence of CE Calendar for reference, how can we do a research in the subject? But a research could be observed only by a man who should have a sense of Muslim that we are the top ward community, not backward community. Allah Has already declared you are the toper if you are Muslim, but our leaders giving us always a sense of backward and they make us beggars as per their political agenda.

The things are happening in the universe by the order of Allah if we man knows it or not. The rain falls, the day rises and sets, the plants grows, the month starts and ends, the birth and death, all are happening if we know or not the science of things. But Allah given the wisdom to man and Jinn.(Arrahman). So we should know the creator by all means with the limits what He revealed in Qur’an, and Sunnah is the practical form of Qur’an. Then only man can be reached up to the peak stage of worship to Allah and He wants to know who is doing best among us. Otherwise worship becomes like to stone or tomb..

The post modern technology always in Allah’s books only, but we should have to find it from the nature according to Qur’an. Our scholars or our system of schooling is not capable for those findings. Islamic schools are just for degrees and certificates like other education for finding jobs. But the certificates and Degrees nothing to do with Allah except his doing with his Taqwa, not with Fatwa.

If you want to be powerful, you should have to know him who is having the extreme power who is only Allah.

-Said one who had knowledge of the Book: I will bring it to thee within the twinkling of an eye! Then when Solomon saw it placed firmly before him, he said: This is by the grace of my Lord! To test me whether I am grateful or ungrateful! And if any is grateful, truly his gratitude is a gain for his own soul; but if any is ungrateful, truly My Lord is Free of all Needs, Supreme in Honour! 40

In regards of Aisha(Rad) what I understand from 8 hadeeths from Saheehul Bukahri, they were started before the beginning of Dul Hijjah. The two hadeeths indicates that they were started Zul Qaida 25^th and three of them not mentioned the time they started but we could understand that 1^st Dulhijjah they were in Makha and two of them says that shortly before the appearance of new moon of Zulhijjah, It means some days before the month of Zulhijjh, not Just before the rise of new moon of Zul hijjah. These are only terms they are using in Arabic. The four months known as Months of hajj because of the time duration of journey from the various part of the world. We know that the pilgrims are normally reached in Makkah before the month Zulhijjha.

Narrated By 'Amra bint 'AbdurRahman : I heard 'Aisha saying, "Five days before the end of Dhul-Qa'ada we set out from Medina in the company of Allah's Apostle with the intention of performing Hajj only. When we approached Mecca, Allah's Apostle ordered those who had no Hadi with them to finish their Ihram after performing Tawaf of the Ka'ba and (Sa'i) and between Safa and Marwa." 'Aisha added, "On the day of Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifice) beef was brought to us. I asked, 'What is this?' The reply was, 'Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) has slaughtered (sacrifices) on behalf of his wives.'"
