I think we need an Arabic speaker to verify, but I thought it was Habeebti for sisters? and Habeebi for brothers?

btw, Ukhtee means My sister, Ukht means sister

Habibi - comes from the root word "HABIB" which acually means
"beloved" and Love in arabic is "Hub"

Like brother far7an said,- Habibi is masculine and habibity is feminine.

Ukhtee al habibi is not correct who ever said that must not speak arabic. the correct wording is...

"Ukhtee ya habibity" ( My Sister, Oh my beloved) or "Ukhtee habibity" (My Beloved sister) or i will give benefit of the doubt and assume it was supposed to be "Ukhtee al Habiba" ( My sister, the Beloved)


nothing wrong with a brother saying "habibi" to another brother. and a sister can say "habibity" to another sister.

A brother can say it to his sister.. ( blood brother and sister of course)
and if he does its " Ukhee habibity" same doesnt change just because its a male saying it.

now on the other hand, a brother saying it to his sister in Islam, yes he can say it... but is that wise? No.

salam brothers and sisters habbeebee or habeebatee derives form the word hub which means love so when we say ena uhibek fillah that means i love you for the sake of Allah swt. so i would not consider sayingh habibi or habibtee for the opposite sex unless ur biologicals or ur spouses.

Actually, Uhibak aladhi ahbabtani lahu doesn't make sense. Rather, Uhibak fee Allah makes more sense. Uhibak Fee Allah means I love you in Allah or for the sake of.

Fee and it's not feel. There is a difference. The word Fee means in or for, in this case, it would mean for the sake of. Similar to saying, Ant Ukhi FEE Al Islam. You're my brother IN islam.

Well, it could mean that. Because how you said it exactly means, "I love you for the one you loved me for." It could mean for Allah. But what if you love someone for the sake of love. You know.

But, more accurately, one can say, "Uhibak lillah" or "Uhibak Fillah." Same meaning just different word usage.

Acually its "Ahabakal lathey ahbabtaney lahu" and that is in reply to when someone says " i love u for the sake of Allah. meaning

Uhibak Aladhi ahbabtani lahu,- May he who u love me for Love you.

now the sis Miss. Ameera feel does mean elephant. but the word in this sentance is "FIL LLAH" 2 words. meaning literally

Fil- In
ALLAH- Allah

so one someone says Inne uhibukey fil llaah. they are saying i love u for the sake of Allah.

and the reply to that would be....

Ahabakal lathey ahbabtaney lahu- May he who u love me for love you.

Ok, if it is a reply then it is perfectly acceptable in my opinion. The breakdown of the sentence:
Ahabak, not Ahabkal, is an action word which means, loved you...
Allathee- that
ahababtaney - whom you loved me
Lahu - for

Uhibak Aladhi ahbabtani lahu,- May he who u love me for Love you.
correct. Although, it's hard to write Arabic words using the Latin alphabets.

now the sis Miss. Ameera feel does mean elephant. but the word in this sentance is "FIL LLAH" 2 words. meaning literally

Fil- In
ALLAH- Allah
You are right. It is two words. However, it's not "fil." It's fee (في), which means in or at.
The two words get combined when pronounced. Meaning, instead of saying fee Allah, it's pronounced as feellah.

so one someone says Inne uhibukey feellah. they are saying i love u for the sake of Allah.

and the reply to that would be....

Ahabak allathey ahbabtaney lahu- May he who u love me for love you.
As I said earlier, I'm not trying to argue. I am just trying to explain things so when we learn something we learn it the correct way.

mashAllah barakallahu feek,however there are no mistakes, it is when writing them out in latian, the "AL" in AhabakAL Lathey- its making the connection between the 2 words. this also makes it " Ma'roof" -a definite article (arabic grammar.)

and " FILLAH" again... making connections

it is not

"FEE ALLAH" no, thats not how it is pronounced so why write it like that? it is pronounced " FILLAH" sa7? so like u said...

I understand it's pronounced as such. But, to make things clear, they are two words. Fee and Allah. However, should you write it in Arabic, are you going to write it this way, "فيالله" as one word or this way, "في الله," as two words?

However the meaning of transliteration is to make it easy to read the word in question and this does not necessarily mean that it has to be a correct potrayal of the "spellt" form of the word, in the light of this "Fillah" would be more correct.

"The izar (lower garment) of a Muslim is to the middle of the shin and there is no sin if it comes halfway between that and his ankles, but what comes lower than the ankles is in the Hell-Fire. On the Day of Resurrection Allaah will not look at a man who drags his izar out of arrogance." (Abu Daud, al-Nawawi declared it sahih)

I am sure it means baby
I like a song by Cheb Mami called Vien Vien Habibi - and my husband told me it means baby. Don't know if it also applies to infants or is just an affectionate term for a partner

Ukhti habiby isn't correct if you are considering Arabic grammar.
It's Ukhti alhabibah. You often hear Sheikhs addressing sisters with that term when they are giving talks or such, it's an affectionate term, and can be used if no fitnah is feared.

Fi Amanillah is a term used when two people or more are going different ways, some sort of a farewell. like someone posted earlier it means "In Allahs Protection"

ijtihâd : In Islamic meaning it is when a scholar forulates an independent judgment on a theological question (of course based on the application of the usul )
ikhtilâf : It means differences
mujtahid : It means the person who performs the ijtihaad (above)
mufassirûn :Those who perform tafseer of the Qur'aan
usûl : in arabic literature it means 'Principles' or 'fundamentals'.
ma'sheikh : << it's written wrong here, the correct way would be "Mashaayeikh" and it's plural form for "Sheikh" which means scholar
muhaddith&#251;ns : (minus the s ) They are the people who compiled the Hadeeth from the Sahaabah and taabi'een.
fuqah&#226;'s : (minus the 's' also) it can either mean an expert in fiqh (jurisprudence in Islam) or it can either mean an expert reciter of the Qur'an.
hudja : It means proof

"How do you know that it should be fatha instead of kasra, when they aren't there?"

Mainly by practice and knowing more about Arabic rules and reading Arabic more.

One good way to do so is to read Quran in Arabic more and to study its words and meanings. You will have doube benefits: studying Quran Karim and practicing Arabic too. :coolsis:

i would just like to say that Arabic Grammar is easy when you put in effort, you will be able to read Arabic without the vowels when you know your verb, subject object, proper and common nouns feminine masculine singular dual and plurals and the rules that go with them, types of sentences,
i hope that sounded easy .loooooooool ...it does take effort .

you can learn all the basics to help you on your way in 2 months if you really try hard .... but myself im lazy and slow ... i have seen others do it and even know one person who completed half a years work in two weeks ...so i wish alll those who have the desire to learn all the best on this journey ....wasalams :w:

Ukhtee al habibi is not correct who ever said that must not speak arabic. the correct wording is...

"Ukhtee ya habibity" ( My Sister, Oh my beloved) or "Ukhtee habibity" (My Beloved sister) or i will give benefit of the doubt and assume it was supposed to be "Ukhtee al Habiba" ( My sister, the Beloved)


nothing wrong with a brother saying "habibi" to another brother. and a sister can say "habibity" to another sister.
I believe the more appropriate word is HabibAtiy with a fathah not HabibIty.

example II : " It was Kinda like this color."

Tayib = ok; alright

example I : "Ok, that sounds good."

example II : " Alright, I am going now, see you tomorrow."

There is not really much of a big difference, but I made these examples so that you will be able to grasp the meaning.

I was referring to the second letter "ba" in the word habibaty. The proper way is to have it maftooh instead of it being saakin or maksoor since the original word is "habibah".

It doesn't matter if people don't write it like that. We should do it the correct way, unless you can prove to me that the word habibaty has a 2nd "ba" with sokoon or kasrah, I will rest my case.

This is not a debate for you to 'rest your case'. However, barakallahfeek for pointing that out, May Allaah increse me in Ilm. ~Aameen. I guess I do not know much of the arabi language, I will leave it for those who have better understanding, i.e You and the likes.

Fat-ha , kasra , damma ...etc are called signs of tashkeel . ( 3alamat al- tashkeel)

ة

!

If i just Say : Amira . then i stop , So its pronounced Amira as witten in English -------> Amira

OK?

But if i want to put it in a sentence like for example

هذه أميرة الإسلام أو هذه أميرة المنتدى

which means : This is the princess of Isalm or this is the princess of the fourm

its pronounced : Hathhi Amirat ulislam Aw Hathhi Amiratul muntada

th here is pronounced like in the words ( the , they , those)

So in few words : ة is different that ت

1- ة called Ta'a Mrbotah ( tight ta'a) <---- just my translation , in the middle of a sentence its pronounced T but if you are going to stop its pronouced H
2-ت Called Ta'a & its T whereever you find it

last point :

names are special cases : So simply don't worry about your name ..just say : I'm Amira ,

:) "Yalla" means to hurry up, you hear it like e.g. "Yalla bi Suro'aa" (meaning, "Hurry up, Quick!"). It's not a very formal way of speaking.

Because if you join your name 'Amira' with another word, it is pronounced 'Amiratul-(whatever). It is not Amriahul-(whatever)
Amira means leader (feminine) so you have to be a leader of something
Hope this helps

I have to be a leader of something, before I can be called Amira? :? & it means princess too, does that mean I have to be a princess!? :? I'm just kidding, I know I don't.. :giggling:

Anyways.. So if a ayah in al-Qur'ân ends with ة then I shouldn't pronounce it, but instead just pronounce it like that letter without the dots ontop.. And what is this letter called anyway ة

Of course, you may use the expression in an innocent sense. But it depends on the attitude towards you of the man whom you address like this. If his is an evil mind, he may smell romance in it. You can neither know nor control inner thought of someone else.

Sometimes we use the masculine in Arabic poetry and literature to denote the feminine as it makes it more acceptable (I haven't read all 12 pages here) to see if someone has already covered that. But we call the little kids with habibi both gals and guys and it is a term of endearment.
If you read robaiyat el khayam you'd notice much of it is used in the masculine unfortunately leading western 'scholars' to believe it is some sort of homoerotic literature. It is not. They simply don't understand the culture.
You even see in the Quran that the masculine is more often used t describe certain things a reward for instance in paradise but it isn't meant as an exclusion of females. It is that the nature of women is shyness and putting them on the spot is perceived as unacceptable.

and Allah swt knows best

oh yes p.s: habibi = my love
