Asalamou Alaicom wr wb

Basically what you have to do is say a word in arabic. The next person who nows the english meaning to the word has to say the meaning along with another arabic word. And thats how it goes on.

I'll start Insha Allah:

Masha Allah, very informativ. It's really good how you mentioned that ayah which relates to the word. I ask Allah to reward you all insha Allah.

let's give it a try:
noor ----> Light or more likely glowing light (this is however mentioned a number of time in the noble Quran, there is a surah in the quran called An-noor, and its ayat are just so heart touching)

my word insha Allah:

Ittaqi

:wink:

05-02-05, 10:33 PM
ittaq-->> fear (very good quality to have, in terms of religion)

My word-->> Jannah :D (very easy word)

guidance
05-02-05, 10:35 PM
it's easy indeed ;)

Jannah ----> paradise (may Allah grant us paradise and let us be gathered with the prophets and the companions and followers)

Ihsan is how the prophet PBUH described it in the famouys hadith where he was asked by the angel jibreel what is ihsan? he said Ihsan is to worship allah as if you see him, and though you dont see him, know that he sees you. It is an excellent character of faith to have which is above eman.

I dont exactly know what it mean in the engish grammar..but Fawahish/fahisha in islamic terms its refering to adultery and homosexuality.
Correct me if im wrong
my word---> ayaat/ayah
Wassalam alaikum

Ibrahim
09-02-05, 06:04 PM
Salam Alaikum

More or less yes you are right. Fawahesh is the plural for the word fahisha. A fahisha can mean other haram things such as gambling and alcohol also.

ayaat is the plural for ayat. Ayat has several meanings. It generally means a verse in the quran, but can also mean an example, as mentioned in surat yasin where allah swt refers to the story of Prophet Nuh as an example.

My word is bid'ah

Salams

09-02-05, 07:03 PM

Bid'ah--> innovation, which is an error and a misguidance

I ask Allah swt to keep us away from this and guide us, AMEEN!

17-02-05, 08:53 PM
Indeed, brother Islam our way of life, you are spot on. In Islamic tradition, fitnah refers, first, to the opposition to Islam experienced by early Muslims and, second, threats to the health of the umma. In Arabic fitnah means "trial, testing." eg: the fitnah of a bare-headed woman.

My word: Tawwabeen.

translation- And say not of those who are killed in the way of Allah,"They are dead." Nay, they are living, but u percieve (it) not.

(Striving in Allah's sake has great reward.

Verse:
wa mann jahada fa'innama yujahidu linafseh, innal Laha laghaniyou 'anil 'alameen.

Omar bin khattab was named al farook, as farook nmeans the distinguisher between right and wrong. Subhan Allah how one man was a farook.

As for the word the sister mentioned, allaa'i means favours of your lord. As allah swt states in the quran "Then which of the favours of your lord, will you both (men and jinn) deny?"

May Allah reward you sister Mujahida its good to be back :)

Namimah means backbiting/slandering. Subhan Allah his is one of the most common reasons for punishment in the grave, and we ask Allah SWT to protect us from the punishment of the grave.

The prophet PBUH said, la tarmu anfusakum bil namimah. translated means do not fall into backbiting/slandering.

My word is 'al-barzakh'.

Al Rahman has a few meanings.. *the Lovingly Beneficent *Most Kind *most Gracious * The compassionate

I'll continue with Allah's names because the Messenger of Allah (Peace and Blessings be upon him) said,
" There are 99 Names that are Allah's alone, one-hundred less one.
Whoever (learns, understands, and) enumerates Them, enters Paradise.
Allah is 'Witr', i.e, Odd in number, and loves Witr."

Al Hakeem means the judge.

I dont think we should drag it on too much because then there will be 99 posts and people may repeat the names etc...
Also its not about learning them, its about living byt hem also. Eg you know that Allah swt is the judge so you prepare for your judgement.

Just one more inshallah... "Dhul Jalaali Wal Ikraam"
