「アラー」が名前月の神のである要求から離れて、キリスト教の宣教師はまたイスラム教を使用する彼らの宗教のために記号として三日月形の記号をするか、または新しい月に印を付けるのにイスラム教で使用される月がなぜのあるか質問によって主張するこの要求をがちである。 それらはあい昧な表現の論理的な錯誤にイスラム教がイスラム教の記号として三日月を使用するので、こと従事する、従ってイスラム教がある種の「月神」を崇拝すること続く。 これはユダヤ人は崇拝のための目的としてそれを考慮するか、またはクリスチャンは十字架像を崇拝することユダヤ教がデイヴィッドの記号の星を採用するので、続く記号として使用されるのでことを主張するより本当でなく。 このペーパーはイスラム教、insha」アラーの月の重大さを説明するように試みる。

イスラム教および月

イスラム教は決してそれ解説する月の崇拝を教えなかったり。 実際はそれは次の詩が確認するので、それを否認する:

「彼の印間に夜および日および日曜日および月はある。 彼役立つyeの願い」。、(崇拝しなさい)ない日曜日および月にProstrateしかしそれらを作成した神にひれ伏させなさい、 (Qur」 41: 37)

従ってイスラム教の月の機能は何であるか。 それがイスラム教で遊ぶ唯一の機能はイスラム教の太陰暦を定めることである。 Qurは」神の法律に応じてある月の話すときこれを確認する。 これは私達が次の詩を読むとき確認される

「ない神が日に夜を併合するおよび彼は夜に日を併合することSeestのthou; 彼は太陽および月(彼の法律に)、各ランニングを言葉のためのコース服従させたこと任命した: そしてその神はyeがか」。すべてとよく知らせられる (Qur」 31:29)

アラーが」 (神)間違っているクリスチャンによって要求されるように「月神」なら、その非常に同じ「月神は」なぜ人類の使用のための月を作成するか。 つまりイスラム教の崇拝「アラー月神」が証拠に基づいていない凶悪なうそであること、要求。

ユダヤ教および月

It is interesting to note that the Jews also adopt the lunar calendar to mark their holy festivals. The Jewish religious calendar, of Babylonian origin, consists of 12 lunar months, amounting to about 354 days. Six times in a 19-year cycle a 13th month is added to adjust the calendar to the solar year. The day is reckoned from sunset to sunset.¹

The moon also plays an important role in a symbolic comparison with the Jewish nation. We reproduce below an article written by Rabbi Avrohom Berger that states as such.

The article above would clearly refute the nonsense that Islam based its calendar on the moon because it was a religion of the moon god, for if Islam was really the religion of the moon god, what is the religion of the Jews who used (and still use) the lunar calendar and constantly analogises itself to the moon? In fact, a Jewish site confirmed the above by stating:

The Jewish Nation has been likened to the moon. Our history, cyclical in nature, waxes and wanes like the moon through its cycle hidden at times, but always reemerging to full blossom.²

Condemning the Jewish religion as “moon worship” based on the “logic” (or rather, the lack of it!) of the Christian missionaries would, however, lead to serious implications that could undermine their own faith, as Jesus (P) was a learned Rabbi and faithful Jew himself. However, they have no qualms condemning Islam for using the lunar calendar. Such double standards are not alien to Christian thought, after all the end justifies the means, just as (St.) Paul did the same.

Christianity and The Solar Calendar

We have seen that both Judaism and Islam, as in the tradition of Semitic culture, use the lunar calendar to mark their months. The question now is why Christianity adopted the solar calendar, instead of the lunar? As surprising as it is to the missionary, the adoption of the sun as the official calendar of ‘Christianity’ occurs as late as 325 C.E. and was due to the prevailing pagan influences of sun worship. The cult of the sun-god was the most popular creed at the advent of Jesus, and was prevalent in all the countries into which the religion called “Christianity” is later introduced in. Pagan gods such as Appolo or Dionysus among the Greeks, Hercules among the Romans, Mithra among the Persians, and Osiris, Isis and Horus in Egypt et. al., are all sun-gods³. In the face of the evidence, one cannot help but conclude that the adoption of the solar calender is certainly due to the strong Hellenistic influences of the sun-god cult during its adoption.

Conclusions

It is clear that the creation of a calendar is for the purpose of keeping time in perspective. Time is measured in relative terms, from sunrise to sunset; from the time the sun casts the shortest shadow to the same time the next day; from one harvest time to another. In ancient times, the phases of the moon were an easy means of measuring the passage of time. The first calendars were lunar calendars. Ancient civilizations such as the Assyrians, Babylonians, Egyptians and the Chinese used the lunar calendar. The Semitic culture also adopts this calendar, with the exception of Christianity, which uses the solar calendar due to pagan Hellenistic influences by Greco-Roman culture. There is therefore no logical reason to associate the lunar calendar of Islam with moon worship.

And certainly, only God knows best!
