I am not a native speaker of English.I am studying English and Teaching it in my country.
Well I want to ask
Which verb do you use with salat?(perform,do,make,read?..)Or do you use salat(for instance, in Turkish we use 'namaz' to refer salat)
Which word do you use for 'washing the certain parts of body before salat'?(We use 'abdest'-I think this word roots from Farsi)
It can be anything about Islamic terms.Please post what you know.
May Allah be pleased with you all.
'Abdest' in Arabic is called wudu and in English it is called ablution, but most people will simply call it wudu.
As for praying, you would say perform salat, some times people say offer salat, but you can just say that you are going to pray/praying/will pray etc, without using the Arabic term.
I am a bit dissappointed with this thread.I would like to hear more examples.
For example, what are the words for holy days and nights in English.i e. Laylatul Qadr,Ramadan...

oppsss hard question, coz here we're too used to the Arabic terms that even non-muslims understand them, but I could be of some help for sure,
I will answer my own question here.I have learned it.So I wanted to share it here.I think they are arbic rather than english but iin english they use these terms.
Eid Al-Fitr marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan.
Eid Al-Adha marks the conclusion of the pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca.

Thats right akhi. Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "to break the fast" (and can also mean "nature", from the word "fitrah")
Eid al-Adha or ‘Id ul-’Aḍḥa or the Festival of Sacrifice
