... half the words used in this forum! :-\
I jotted down just a few:
dajjal
dawah
du'as
ummah
surah ...

I know that these words make sense to most of you, and that they are part of your everyday - and I am not expecting anybody to not use them.

But if as a poor non-Muslim I am to make sense and learn from half the threads going on here, I have to find some kind of dictionary.

Is there such a thing on this site, and I just haven't found it yet?
Or could one be set up?
Or could anybody mae any other suggesions?

Thanks,
glo

Hi Glo,

As for the definitions you specifically requested:

dajjal.............The antiChrist
dawah...........Inviting non-muslims to Islam
du'as.............Supplicating to Allah
ummah...........The whole of the islamic community
surah.............Basically a chapter (I think) of the Quran

:happy:

That's cool, Alpha Dude. Thank you! :)

But if I posted a message every time I don't know a word, I'd be here all day - and so would you!
So there's got to be another way ...

Do you have a spare week or two to write me an entire dictionary? ;D

That's a good idea actually. I think there should be a specialised stickied thread for Arabic words commonly used on the forum, for the sake of clarity.

Because they're 'stuck' to the top of the forum. Even if other threads get more posts, they'll never overtake stickied ones.

:sorry: excuseme dear Alpha Dude but i think dajjal is not just antiChrist, we have it in Islam too.

But Alpha Dude is a Muslim himself, so i am assuming he is talking about the Islamic 'anti-Christ'!
I guess it leads to the question, who, in Islam, is Christ?
That way we may be clearer about who the anti-Christ is.

Peace,
 
dawah...........Inviting non-muslims to Islam

wrong... is not only for non-muslims... it is for the muslims too...(not just who is not at the right path... but to give advice to all muslims so that we'll be always in the right path)

islam is about giving advice....
