Bismika Alllahuma

"알라"가 이름 달 신의인 요구은 그렇다 하고, 기독교 선교사는 또한 이슬람교도를 사용하는 그들의 종교를 위해 상징으로 초승달 상징을 하는, 새로운 달을 표를 하는 이슬람교에서 사용되는 달이 인지 왜 심문하여서 주장한다 이 요구를 간다. 그들은 모호한 말, 저것의 논리적인 착오로 이슬람교도가 이슬람교의 상징으로 조각달을 이용하기 때문에 접전한다, 그러므로 이슬람교도가 "달 신성"의 어떤 숭배한다 따른다. 이것은 유태인은 숭배를 위한 목표로 그것을 고려하거나, 기독교인은 그리스도 수난상을 숭배한다 유대교가 상징 다윗의 별을 채택하기 때문에, 따른ㄴ다는 것을 그것의 상징으로 이용되기 때문에 주장 보다는 더 진실하. 이 서류는 이슬람교에 있는 달, insha' 알라의 의미를 설명하는 것을 시도할 것입니다.

이슬람교와 달

이슬람교는 결코 그것 강론한다 달 숭배를 가르치지 않으며 도 아니다. 그것은 실제로 뒤에 오는 운문이 확인하기 때문에, 그것을 거부한다:

"그의 표시 중 밤 및 일 및 일요일 및 달은 이다. 그 봉사할 것이다 ye 소원."인 경우에, (경앙하십시오) 일요일 및 달에 아닙니다 Prostrate 그러나 그들을 창조한 신에게 prostrate, (Qur', 41: 37)

이렇게 이슬람교에 있는 달의 기능은 무엇인가? 그것이 이슬람교에서 노는 유일한 기능은 이슬람교 음력을 결정한다 이다. Qur는' 신의 법률을 조건으로 하여 일 달의 말할 때 이것을 확인한다. 이것은 우리가 뒤에 오는 운문을 읽을 때 확인된다

"아닙니다 신이 일로 밤을 합병한다 Seest thou와 그는 밤으로 일을 합병한다; 그는 태양 및 달 (그의 법률에), 각 달리기를 임명된 기간을 위한 그것의 과정 복종시켰다: 그리고 저 신은 ye가?" 모두에 잘 정통한다 (Qur', 31:29)

알라가" (신) 잘못 지도된 기독교인에 의해 요구되는 것과 같이 "달 신"인 경우에, 저 아주 동일한 "달 신은" 왜 인류의 사용을 위한 달을 창조할는가 것입니다? 한마디로 말하면 이슬람교도 숭배 "알라 달 신"가 기록에 근거하지 않는 극악한 사기이다, 요구.

유대교와 달

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!
