Bridging Lunar & Solar Calendars

  • Bridging Lunar
  • Connection between lunar and solar years.:
    300 solar years = 309 lunar years.
  • Solar Calendar Insights
  • Normal Years: 365 days. :
    Leap Years: 366 days every 4 years (except for centuries not divisible by 400).

Quran [55:29]: Every being turns to the Creator daily, who orchestrates every matter.

Quran [62:9]: Establishes the concept of Friday as a significant day in a 7-day cycle.

Quran [2:183-185]: Introduces the concept of Ramadan as a month for fasting, guiding us to observe lunar cycles.

Quran [9:36]: Confirms a lunar year of 12 months. Quran [18:25]: Reveals the equivalence of 300 solar years to 309 lunar years.

Foundations in the Quran

The Quran provides timeless insights into time measurement:.

Mathematical Equations in Time

The 300-Year Equation

Quran [2:259]: A man slept for 100 years and awoke, thinking it was only a day or part of a day. Equation: Over 100 years, the same weekday shifts back by one or two days

The 100-Year Equation

Quran [18:25]: "And they stayed in their cave for 300 years, adding nine. Equation: If Day 1 starts on a Friday, 300 years later, the same date could fall on either Saturday or Sunday."

A Perfect Calendar: The Creator's Design

The Quran’s descriptions align with modern science: 1. Days repeat after 7 cycles. 2. Every 4 years, a leap year adds an extra day to balance the calendar. 3. A century divisible by 400 (e.g., the year 2000) also includes a leap day. This demonstrates the Creator’s precise knowledge of time, guiding humanity long before modern calendars existed.
