Hello. I was wondering if you could translate some (what I think) is Arabic for me? The manuscript has a picture of Muhammad so if you'd rather not, I understand. --NeilN23:47, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
You are welcomed NeilN. Could you please tell me what manuscript you are talking about? I will see if I can translate it or not. Have a nice day.--SpringWhat's up?06:51, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
Yes NeilN, the page you referred to discusses the comparison between the lunar year & the solar year, and it mentions the prohibition of al-Nasi' by Prophet Muhammad during the The Farewell Sermon. First, it says that the Arabs used to practice al-Nasi' in the Jahiliyyah. It says that the difference between the Arabic lunar year and the solar year was 10 days, 21 hours & 1/5 of an hour, so they used to add one month, and this addition was monitored by the tribe of Kinanah. The man of Kinanah who was responsible of this was called Qilmus. Then, in page 18 (the page you referred to), it says that the Arabs learned al-Nasi' from the Jews & introduced it into their lunar calendar 200 years before the rise of Islam. It says that they used to add every 24 lunar year 9 months so that their months remain fixed with their seasons. Then it mentions the prohibition of al-Nasi' (Intercalation) by Prophet Muhammad. Then, it speaks about the lunar calendar and the practice of al-Nasi' in India--SpringWhat's up?08:06, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
