(Arabic) Word Association Game

[needtorepent]

:sl:

I know that some of us here, including myself, are constantly trying to improve our Arabic vocabulary. In this game, somebody will post a word in Arabic, its transliteration in English letters, and the English meaning. The next poster will post a word that is somehow associated with the previous word. For example, if the first word is tree, the next person may post something that has to do with tree, such as grass, soil, or trunk, as long as the word is somehow associated with the previous word. Make sure you post the word in Arabic, its transliteration in English letters, and the English meaning.

**Note for transliteration: Some letters are similar when transliterating. For example seen and saad are both s sounds. Seen is a soft s and saad is a hard s, so take this into consideration when posting the transliteration.

Here is an example:

بصر baSar (eyesight or vision)

لسان lisaan (tongue)

Notice how I use a lowercase s to show a soft s and a capital S to show a hard s.

This makes it easier to understand the word and makes it so that people wouldn't easily confuse a word for another word.

Love into Action

Undoubtedly, there is a delicate difference between both words. “Al-Houbb” means “love as a noble feeling dwelling in the heart”; while “Al-Woudd”means “love substantiated by action”. In other words, if you love someone, your inner feelings towards him are called “Houbb” (i.e. love that exists in your heart), but when you translate such love into action by smiling to him, for example, or doing him a favor, this is “Woudd” (i.e. love that you put into action). If you offer him a present, it is “Woudd”. If you help him out of a problem, it is “Woudd”. If you visit him when he is ill, it is “Woudd”. If you offer him a present when he gets married, it is “Woudd”. In short, inner feelings of love are “Houbb”; while ostensible substantial acts of love are “Woudd”. All those who have “Woudd” must necessarily have “Houbb”, but not vice versa. This means that someone might love another but does not show that in his behavior, but if someone shows love to another, this means that he loves him.

This means that the whole universe, that is, with its heavens, stars, planets, galaxies, the sun, the moon, rain, fishes, birds, animals, plants, flowers, is but a substantiation of Allah’s “Woudd” (Love) for mankind. Children, who fill the home with life and movement, are of Allah’s “Woudd”. The great many kinds of fruits are of Allah’s “Woudd”. Wives, whom Allah created especially for men’s psychological and physical comfort, are of Allah’s “Woudd”. Husbands, whom Allah created especially for women’s comfort, are out of Allah’s “Woudd”. Wool, which Allah created to protect us from cold is out of Allah’s “Woudd”. All things that Allah has subjected for mankind are out of Allah’s “Woudd”. The whole universe is subjugated for man as a kind of “Woudd” from God.


so this is the diffrence between the al-wadoud(الودود) and al- mouhib (المحب)
