Peace Family This article is about Ramadan. Ramadan is a Muslim Holy Month celebrated annually as a period honoring the initiation of the revelation of Qur'aan to Nabi Muhammad ibn Abdullah (SAWS). The verses (ayat) of Qur'aan discuss this event. The author of this article contests that the near 1.6 billion Muslims are ignorantly practicing our Holy Month in violation of Qur'aan and that the following notes will discuss the ayat (verses) and mathematics/astronomy/history that prove such with the prayer that Muslims will read this with a critical eye and discover its truth. I recommend that you get an astronomy software to understand what I will present. A simple one for free is Stellarium. You can Google it and then download it for free. After calculating the ancient astronomical count starting from the vernal equinox I have discovered something astounding...
It is a sad state to see our people all over the world languishing in the conspiratorial deception of spiritual systems with almost no help...All Muslims globally need the lessons I am preparing in respect to this subject in Islam. If they take them they will once again become the 'bright shining stars of our ancient system' and regain their spiritual base, wealth, political power, scholarship etc... if u reject the severe accuracy of this and other reports the parasites who have invaded our system will plummet your
practice of this system of peace into the hands of Shaitan. Here are my points of contention 1) Ramadan as presently practiced by all Muslims of the Earth is based on the inaccurate use of the lunar calendar that was not the historical calendar used by Nabi Muhammad in respect to calculation of Ramadan as revealed in the Qur'aan. Ramadan mathematically takes place commencing on the 9th month from the vernal equinox (Vernal Equinox was the ancient Celestial Meridian in Astronomy and Modern scientists use it too) and ending 30 days from that time 2) The calendar system of the Muslims matches the ancient global calendar system of their Moorish forefathers and foremothers who were masters who developed and perfected the science of Astronomy 3) My primary source to make these corrections is Allahs first book the Universe and its Astro-physical movements and in this case the Quran itself as the second Kitab (Record /Book) supported by other traditions of calendar keeping and the directional mihrabs of the early mosques of Islam. Mihrabs were thought to be used to denote the Qiblah. They were also directional calculators for the time for Ramadan based on the sidereal and tropical astronomical year. 4) As Ramadan is one of the 5 pillars of the faith practiced by hundreds of Millions of Muslims worldwide if I am correct (MA), then the false association of Ramadan with lunar calendars and false histories inserted by deviants and so-called pale arab scholars must end...the ignorance must be unveiled 5) Doing this will place the Original Khalifah of Islam in his natural place as the leader of Spiritual systems on this planet as predicted in Qur'aan
If there is one thing that I have learned as a historian and anthropologist it is that lineage is one of the most important ingredients of any discussion. Each people, religion, spiritual system, etc... springs from former systems and when our arm can reach back far enough we find that ALL scientific based spiritual systems are based on the True knowledge of the Creator of the Universe which Indigenous people call in English Cosmology and Cosmogony, Cosmology being a study of the Universe and Our place and purpose in respect to it and Cosmogony being the actual laws that brought about the anatomy and physiology of the universe and all things within
from the Creator of the Universe. I can admit to knowing NOTHING about accurate calendar systems and calculating this mathematically accurate knowledge until I met the teachings of the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad, a man who we know of as The Messenger of Allah to the Black man in America first and to all People on the planet. We are his helpers and our duty is to accurately prove based on Qur'aan, history, mathematics and science that he was/is who He stated he was the Messenger of Allah. If we fail to do this mathematically and scientifically based on Qur'aan and the aforementioned fields then the claim is false and we should abandon it, however if we can back the claim, the world is due for a clear check-up. For the Muslims who may desire to reject this remember if such a claim is false it should be easily defeated. Our claim is simple Nabi Muhammad (SAWS) is the seal of the Prophets, not the seal of the Messengers and that the reality of The Honorable Elijah Muhammad and his teacher is shrouded in the Qur'aan ayat and Sunnah dealing with Al Mahdi and Al Masih. The ancient system of calendar keeping amongst our lineal ancestors was based on a very simple science that primarily dealt with Sun, Moon, Star, and Earth movements. Since the 'Lunar Earth Mars catastrophe'(Van Flandern 2001) which included the planet Mars our ancestors have charted the tilt of the Earths Poles the tilt and movement of the Suns Poles, its (The Suns) motion around the Stars in the Sirius Constellation and the most accurate Astronomy ever recorded. Based on our Indigenous Records this event (Lunar Earth mars Catastrophe) is what gave us our Tropical calculations for the year and our current sidereal astronomy. The Tropical calendar year was based on the 4 major points of the earth's orbit around the Sun, the 2 solstices and the 2 equinoxes which give us the seasons (spring summer fall and winter) in the Northern and Southern latitudes. Our Ancestors based the count of the sidereal year on what we call the Suns Motion around the 13th Constellation Sirius. This Constellation is mentioned in our Qur'aan as the qara word 'Shiraa'. 'Shiraa' is a word in the qara language. We call it a broken plural which means it is denoting more than one Star. We know from so called modern research that their are 3 stars in this system and one planet, yet Aboriginal Peoples and Aboriginals who are Muslims knew this thousands of years ago. How so then did they develop such an intricate knowledge of Astronomy when allegedly they had no telescopes. How did Muhammad know that Sirius was a multi-star system if he did not have telescopes and other advanced equipment. How has/did the Dogon Tribe of Mali know this for thousands of years up until today?
In Surah 53 of the Qur'aan called Al Najm (The Star) the only Stars mentioned are the Sirius system (verse 49). The Surah Starts out discussing the 'Hawaay' of this Star which means its 'setting' which is an accurate description in English of the qara language expression. The celestial mechanics that are the basis of the start of Ramadan display that just as the Sun is rising on the horizon on that day commencing the 9th month of the tropical and sidereal year it (Sirius) is setting on the horizon in the west. The Author of Qur'aan then in Surah 53, The Star is recounting this celestial event which actually marks Nabi Muhammads initial interface with the Mala'ikah Jabriyl and the start of Revelation of Qur'aan. This Surah also speaks of the 'lote tree' symbolism 9sidrat al muntaha) and the Sirius Star which is setting as the marker date for the commencement of Ramadan...and with proper translation more is revealed. The Lote tree symbolism springs from an Earlier Cosmology of the World Tree (Yaxkhay Tree) in Meso-America amongst our ancestors. These orbital motions of Sun movements, earth movements, and calculation of time based on Sirius occur and are measurable with perfect accuracy on the vernal equinox, autumnal equinox, summer solstice and winter solstice of every year which is the day that the Sun 'stands still' (solstice) in its lowest position in the sky. The Sun remains in this low position for 3 days and begins its ascension or begins its climb on its ecliptic path...the days begin to get longer from that point. Sirius can be seen setting on the western horizon at dawn (sunrise) for the entire month of December just as stated by the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad. The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad directed his followers to practice Ramadan in December. In fact based on this newly revealed information the correct time for Ramadan is in December. Many of the first mihrabs of the Mosques in Islam were directed to these 4 geodetic points of the solstices and equinoxes and not Makkah. The archaeological evidence of two Umayyad mosques in Iraq, that of Hajjaj in Wasit (noted by Creswell as, "the oldest mosque in Islam of which remains have come down to us" - Creswell 1989:41) and another are the actual sites where the mihrabs face in directions other than Makkah. This work was recorded in the Creswell Archives of the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology by Professor K.A.C. Creswell a pioneer student of early and Medieval Islamic Architecture. A Mihrab is an area of a masjid where the Qiblah is denoted. The early mihrabs of masjids did not all point towards the city of Makkah. Many (Crone- Cook) have argued that this gives precedence that Bakkah as mentioned in the Qur'aan is not the Makkah of today. However the author of this article has a much more clear
explanation. Lets start with a point made by David King in his work, "The Sacred Direction In Islam: A Study Of Interaction Of Religion & Science In The Middle Ages", Interdisciplinary Science Reviews, 1985, Vol. 10, p. 319. King states, "Some of the earliest mosques in Iraq were built facing winter sunset. Only recently has it become known that astronomical alignments were used for the Qiblah, so that some modern historians have mistakenly inferred from the orientations of the early mosques in Egypt and Iraq that they were not built to face the Kaaba at all, but rather to face some other sacred site. Now, however, we even know why such astronomical alignments were used."(King 1985-pg 319) Authors M S M Saifullah, Muhammad Ghoniem, `Abd al-Rahman Robert Squires & Mansur Ahmed published a paper on this subject. The Authors published the paper "The Qiblah of Early Mosques Jerusalem or Mecca". The paper was a response to Crone and Cooks assertions/claims about the Qiblah actually being in Jerusalem based on studies they had carried out in regards to the works of Creswell. Although the author of this article disagrees with many parts of the paper the authors do shed some light in regards to the early masjids being oriented towards the Sun and its setting and rising on Winter Solstice. This association of Islam with the tropical and sidereal year is important. They state, "The difference of mosque orientation and corresponding winter sunrise/sunsets azimuths for the cities is small except for Kufa where the orientation of the mosque is closer to actual Qiblah. This shows that the early mosques (except for Kufa, of course) were astronomically oriented towards their corresponding winter sunrises/sunsets." The authors set up a table showing that the mihrab directions of the early mosques which pointed to the Qiblah fell very accurately to the points of the setting and rising of the sun on winter solstice as opposed to Makkah. Below is a synopsis of their findings

All of the mosques besides Kufa fall within a close range to the Winter Solstice Sunrise/Sunset. The Sirius Cosmology and astronomy was considered the lote tree and 'world tree' by earlier lineal ancestors of the Muslims. This tree is mentioned in the Qur'aan in Surah 53 (The Star) as the so called lote-tree, which according to Islamic tradition is the highest anyone can ascend in their 'approach to Allah". What these folks dont know is that this level of Astronomy if understood based on Aboriginal Cosmology and Cosmogony takes one into the ultimate knowledge of the universe which is called 'Revelation' by most people in religion. This world tree symbolism actually springs directly from my ancestors as the Yaxkhay tree of the mythos of the Amaru or Tutul Xi (so called Olmec-Maya) and we taught this to all high civilizations of the world. The Lote Tree or World Tree deals with what scientists called the Unified Field Theory. It represented the force or forces that 'hold everything together. Simply put it represents the Universes magnetic Field, symbolized by a tree with 12 roots and 8 branches. The 8 branches represent what is called in Islam and Qur'aan the thamaniya an'am or the 8 powers, often mistranslated as the 8 cattle. These 8 powers are the 4 elements of all of creation (light, air, water, earth) and there corresponding 4 conditions (Hot, cold, wet, dry). These 8 (4 elements and 4 conditions) make up everything in the universe. The 12 roots and the 1 trunk represent the sacred 13 of this ancient calendar system. The 12 &1 represent 13 cycles per second of the human mind that is directly connected to its primal consciousness and to the Creator. This is best explained in the Qur'aan ayat discussing how Allah takes the nafs of those who die and who go to sleep (HQ39:42). While we will not go into the scientific details we have discovered, the point is made so that we can express our perspective on the significance of the lote tree and its connection to what we call revelation, which is the basis of Ramadan. This mark for this important celestial time on the winter solstice caused Aboriginals to count months in 30 day increments of 12 months accounting to 360 days and we left the last 5 days for offerings to the Creator and ancestors in Sun calendars and a 12 month Lunar system based on approximately 29 days which accounted for 354 days in Islam. The 9th month which is called Ramadan in Islam marked the period when Sirius is
setting at dawn. This period which was the 9th month on all Sirius based calendars was considered a sacred month of fasting and a period when the celestial influences of the Creator were at their highest, thus we have in the Qur'aan, "The Month of Ramadan in which is revealed in it the Qur'aan guidance for Man and the Clear proofs from the Guide and the Criterion for Judgment" Surah 2 Al baqarah ayah 185. The marking of the 4 sacred periods and the 12 periods of calculation denotes the solar and sidereal calendars and 4 tropical shifts (seasons) made by the earth in its revolution due to its 23.5 degree inclination to the plane of its orbit. Simply put since the earth is 23.5 degrees tilted it causes seasons...4 of them and these seasons are celestial rhythms. They are time markers and markers for how celestial rhythms impact human consciousness and thus were given attention in order to give a divine prescription for society about how to behave in these shifts. The prohibition of the Nasi in Islam is very misunderstood. The early inscriptions in Yemen display both lunar and solar counts for the Asiatics Blacks of Arabia. The adding of a month (called Nasi) by early Muslims was actually an error based on a lack of understanding how the lunar tropical/solar and sidereal calendars operated together. The ayat of Surah 9 clearly depict the 4 seasons and 12 period tropical/solar year. The revelation of this verse was made to prohibit not only the Nasi (adding of a month to the lunar calendar). It is clearly made to harmonize the calendar system by introducing a clear indication of the tropical/solar via the discussion of the solstices and equinoxes which are called the 4 periods that are sacred 'hurum' (Minhaa aarbaat hurum. Dhaalika ad-deen alqayeem) (HQ9:36). Surah 9:36 Inna addat ash-shuhoori inda Allah aathnaa ashara shahran fee kitaabi Allah yaum khalaqa as-samaawaati wa al-aard. Minhaa aarbaat hurum. Dhaalika ad-deen al-qayeem. Falaa tazlimuu fee hinna aanfusakum. Wa qaatiluu al-mushrikeena kaafat kamaa yuqaatiloonakum kaafaatin. Wa aalmoo anna Allah maa al-mutaqeena
Surely the Calculation of Time Periods with Allah is Twelve Periods in Allahs Record. A period in which he creates the Heavens and the Earth. Of these four are Sacred. This is the interpretation of the upright, so do not wrong your souls in them. And make war with the polytheists in unity, as they will make war with you in unity. And have full knowledge that Allah is present amongst those who keep their spiritual obligations
The charting of this Sirius based sidereal calendar and tropical/solar calendar in the Quran is verified in Surah 53 and others 2, Surah 70, Surah 97, Surah 34, and many other Surahs. Specifically Surah 53 charts the start of Ramadan in the first verse when it states "By the Star when it sets" This star is Sirius, which is mentioned later directly in ayah 49. The verses that follow discuss Nabi Muhammad's receiving of the initial ayah of Qur'aan from Jabriyl and the vision of the lote tree (symbolizing the 'World Tree of Indigenous Tradition and sciences Celestial Magnetic Field aka Unified Field) The problem with those Muslims who have been deceived is the pale Arab embellishment of sighting new moons, which according to Surah 2:189 is for allegedly calculating Hajj NOT RAMADAN. We have via this small writing proved that new moons and a lunar calendar cannot be used for Ramadans calculation based on the ayat of Qur'aan. In reference to the Al Aahillati, which is translated as new moons...ill simply say I take the preliminary position that the translation of Aahillati as meaning new moons is false. The word for moon in this language is Qamar (See Surah 54-Al Qamar) and Al Aahillati is the root word Aahl, which means the family and lineage of the Nabi, or Hall, which is a negation. Ill leave the complete discussion for this point on the Aahillati for another writing as it is insignificant to verses discussing Ramadan as the Aahillati is not in those verses discussing Ramadan.
It is true that Most Muslims do not follow Qur'aan, they follow the alleged scholars' interpretation only with NO SUPPORTING PROOFS and this body of non-Quraanic information invented by the pale Arabs is called HADITH. It is a fact that the Qur'aan condemns these hadith in several locations Take a peek
Which Hadith[history], other than Allah and His revelations, do they uphold? [45:6] It (The Qur'aan lessons on former messengers) is not a fabricated Hadith[history]; ...it details everything. [12:111] Bukhari Could not have possibly done the work he is alleged to have done this is pure myth making to destroy Islamic history of the Original Man. Take a read on this chapter from a book I have not published and challenge me on the mathematics that I produce to prove that Bukhari's work is a farce.
" HADITH CORRUPTION: Repairing the Pure Truths of Prophet Muhammad & Islam
The Qur'aan condemns the hadith that most so called orthodox scholars of Islam call the Sunnah [which are not the Sunnah[1]] in over 31 places in the original Arabic Language. Rashad Khalifa was a known scholar who was murdered for making this matter known. There is no science to hadith. The scholars who adhere to hadith, which are so-called Islamic traditions of history passed down from the time of Prophet Muhammad to his companions, say that these traditions are the way we get to know the details of the early period of Islam and the life of Muhammad. There is no science to their methods of verifying the truth of most of the statements made by Bukhari or others. Science deals with actual facts, so let us begin.
Bukhari in his 9-volume collection gave tafsir (explanation) on only 275 verses. The Qur'aan says that there are allegorical and basic verses but none know its interpretation but Allah or a Messenger raised by Allah. Bukhari was never considered a Messenger
Bukhari was said to have studied over 600,000 hadith. Some say 300,000. He is said to have memorized over 100,000. It is also said that He gave two 'raka ' [positional prayer] for each hadith He studied. Bukhari died when He was 70 years of age. He is said to have done this work in a period between 16 and 17 years. The SCIENCE on this is that this would have been and is impossible considering the time it would have taken to complete a work of this magnitude. When studying hadith the historical information itself is not the essential thing studied by so-called scholars in order to provide verification, it is the chain of transmission called 'isnad' in Arabic. This is done to check the authenticity, character, and measured honesty of the transmitters all the way back to the Prophet Muhammad. There are some chains with one level (person), while there are others with up to four or five levels (persons). Let Us consider this, if Bukhari studied up to 600,000 hadith and did two raka[positional prayer] prayers for each, plus studied the isnad (chain of transmission) of each hadith to filter out the unreliable, untrustworthy people in the transmission, and even memorized 100,000 hadith and recorded thousands, giving him one [1] Hour or thirty [30] minutes to process and establish each hadith would have made it SCIENTIFICALLY impossible for him to complete his work in 17 years. At a rate of thirty [30] minutes per each hadith it would have taken 18,000,000 (eighteen million minutes), which equals 300,000 hours (three hundred thousand hours), which equals 12,500 days (twelve thousand five hundred days), which equals 34. 25 years (thirty-four and one quarter years). If we give Him an hour for each hadith it would have taken 78 years. Of course he could not have done any check on isnad (chain of transmission) to verify the hadith in 30 minutes or an hour. We are only using one [1] hour or thirty [30] minutes as an exaggerated period of time, to prove the
impossibility of a thorough work of recording histories that Bukhari was nearly 150 years removed from. It would have taken him days to properly investigate each hadith he recorded. He died at 70 years of age, which means He would have had to start processing hadith from the womb as an infant and still would have fell short of what somebody said He did. These alleged true and authentic records and sayings of Prophet Muhammad are not very scientific at all. This alleged science is in fact deviation from the purity of Islam as given to Prophet Muhammad and were given to deviate from the true revelation of Muhammad.
[1] The Arabic word Sunnah means the way or path and is most often associated with the example of Islam left by Prophet Muhammad. The word is used in the Quraan six times and refers to the Sunnat Allah, the course or way of Allah. There is no reference to a Sunnah of Muhammad in the Qur'aan.
