... 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

Well alot of people use words from their own languange, even while they speak in English. I think that is where the term Spanglish comes from, using spanish words, while speaking English.

But you normally see this a lot, regardless of what language is being used in English. Like if you went to a Japanese Cultural forum or Anime Forum, you would be seeing a lot of Konnichiwa (Good Morning) and Hai (Yes).

Since this is an Islamic forum, you would see alot of Islamic words. It's just how the multicultural community like the internet works, but majority of such content depends on the domain.

You can't edit them until you become a full member, which is when you post 50 posts.

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,
