^May Allah make everything easy for you and grant you what's best for you. May He protect you always

i was thinking i think the way that the imams lead in madinah is the age who ever is the oldest gets to lead the most wallah'alm maybe sheikh abdul mohsin al qasim is the youngest.

Shaykh Salaah al-Budayr is the youngest Imaam in Madeenah.

And u forgot one and sheikh sudais in sudan. the sheikh is doing a tour in sudan i as finished watching makkah and madinah i flicked through the channels and on sudan tv channel sheikh sudais was leading subhnAllah i was so suprised and a nice recitation by the sheikh the government was there and the masjid was packed.

^ Cool .. nice to see them travelling and to African countries too. Did you listen to his khutbah? What did he speak about?

Havent been on this thread for a while , May Allah reward you all for sharing all the info about the imams and also teh coments about the salahs.

May Allah bless you and reward you all and protect you.

Just wanted to coment on that Abdul Mohsin Al gaasim thing lol , its the gulf accent or dialect where the Qaaf is pronounced as gaaf , e.g Qalb ( heart) is pronounced like Galb, or qaal (said) is pronounced like gaal , like in the egyptian dialect the jeem becomes geem and qaaf becomes well Aaaf , Qawi = AWI lol

but yes out here in gulf countries the qaaf becomes gaaf , so u hear on radio sheikh nasir al gatami!!!
the other kaaf become chaaf here in UAE , like kaif halak ( how are you ) can sound like chaif haleCH!!

LOL, yeah I know that they like to pronounce qaaf as gaaf, but when they use it over the radio, it just sounds wrong I never heard about the kaaf becoming chaaf lol.

Ameen to the ad3iyah.

I remember the first time I heard someone walk into a shop in Saudi and ask the shopkeeper, "bi cham haatha?". I thought it was so funny. Then I came back and read in a book that that was originally rural way of talking, but was now becoming commonplace to hear it in towns as well. Allahu a3lam.

Unfortunately, I've also heard people saying Allahu Achbar, but I don't think they were Arab. Allahu a3lam.

lol cham haatha? yep it is rular way of talking but became more like slang here in gulf specially uae.

N Yes thats how the Irani pilgrims say it , i have heared them soo many times in tawaf , saying Allahu Achbar , that kaaf becomming chaf just might be an irani thing coz out here in UAE most locals have iranian roots any way , so that might explain how kaaf became chaaf , and in arabic u dont even have a chaa , like we do in urdu , a chay, or a gaaf like we do in urdu , we have qaaf , kaaf n a gaaf!

Here is another example from emarati dialect , the jeem can at times sound like yaa lol yess! like rijaal ( man/men) can sound like rayaaal , and majnoon (insane) can sound that maynoon !!

so out here u can hear something around these lines , Aisshh feech! inta maynoon!?

we have a city named umm al quwaineen , n it sounds like um al guwein , and we have got another called ajman which sounds like aymaan! crazy stuff


N yes sis bint abee it does sound wrong over radio or tv , abdul mohsin al gaasim is just not right. but so isnt chuwait!

the jeem can at times sound like yaa lol yess! like rijaal ( man/men) can sound like rayaaal

Yes, I saw that (rayaal and the like) in a "Colloquial Arabic of the Gulf and Saudi Arabia" book, as I thought it would be good to know a bit of colloquial Arabic, but that really was a bit too corrupted for my liking. I guess they were teaching it how it actually is there. Nonetheless I do think you can't learn from a book what you can by living in a place, no matter how good the book is. Anyway, thats probably something for the Arabic thread.

THIS link has info on the Makkah Metro service, some of which will be operational for this years hajj.

The first phase will connect the holy sites of Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina. This will reduce the traffic congestion, specially on the day of Arafat, to a large extent.

“While the entire project will be completed before the Haj season next year, the finishing of the first phase would mean that 35 percent of our services will be offered to the pilgrims this year itself."

This would mean that more than 50,000 cars and buses that carry pilgrims between Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina would no longer be required.

This is going to be nice , it was much needed with the increasing number of pilgrims each year Alhumdolillah, may Allah reward the custodians of the holy mosques for all their efforts.
