Islamic Discussion Thread ٣

[Pasong Tirad]

Hi, I like to lurk here sometimes. I'm seeing a lot of terms like (SWT) (AWJ) (SAAWS). What are those, exactly?

SWT= Subḥānahū wa-taʿāl- 'May He be praised and exalted'

AWJ= Azza wa-jalla- 'The Glorified/Exalted/Mighty and Sublime'

These are honorifics which are generally placed after God, as a way of showing absolute respect.

SAAWS= Salla Allahu alaihi wa-sallam- 'May Allah's peace and blessings be upon him':

An alternative to SAW, or the alternative used most often in English, PBUH- Peace Be Upon Him. These are placed after saying the names of any of the prophets, for the same reason. There's some debate as to whether or not we are obligated to use these, but I think just about all Muslims agree that absolute respect is entitled to God and the prophets, so we tend to use them as often as possible.

Ah okay, yes I know of PBUH, but my two friends translated it as Praise Be Unto Him, which I'm guessing is also okay? I don't really know how okay Muslims are with the validity of translations from Arabic because, if I recall correctly, since Arabic was the language of the Prophet (PBUH), it should be the language used in prayer or when mentioning God.

Arabic is the language of Worship, Hence we why don't say "God is Greatest" whenever completing a segment of prayer instead of its Arabic and original counterpart "Allahu Akbar". Arabs were challenged with the excellent language of the Quran, in a way where it couldn't be matched with words, So people faced it with action and usually failed, Indeed Arabic is amazing.

Eh, not to denigrate your language or anything but I've always found Arabic to be very rough-sounding and unpleasant. The calligraphy's nice, but as a spoken language it isn't particularly refined.

http://legacy.quran.com/2/216 "But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you."
That's and al-lughat ul-'Arabiyyah is an awesome language.

That's...putting it out of context. It's regarding to fighting.

Isn't that verse supposed to be about war?

Regardless, it's too throaty for my tastes. Like I said, the written language is beautiful, but orally it's crap.

True, but that phrase turns up in more than that iirc. I like all of it.

It is obligatory during Salah to pray in Arabic as for the blessings upon the Messenger (SAAWS) it can be done in your native language or Arabic as can Duas (supplications).

In the way it was quoted no, we have to do things we hate all the time both religiously and outside of religion. Do you think cancer patients enjoy chemo?

It's a call on Muslims to engage in worship and answer the call of the Messenger (SAAWS) this verse was relieved during the time of Uhud, Muhammad (SAAWS) called on the Muslims to gather even if they hated it and they had to obey as the Quran demands we obey Allah and his Messenger (SAAWS) obeying the Messenger is Ibadah (worship) like Salah, this is a pillar of Islam it's Shahada Bearing witness there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Messenger, when we bear witness we agree to obey the Almighty.

Reminds me of when people depict vampires and devils as feeling tortured when coming in contact with holy water. Arabic is the language that Allah chose to write his speech in.

He isn't he's answering a question as to what the opinions of homosexuality are and he linked a 3rd party resource with an answer.

Your signature is Haram brother, sinning in public and exposing it is also Haram, fear Allah.
I am not trillingual, I am sexlingual.

I am pretty sure he means the Latin word sex as meaning six.

Adding to what Alsheb said, even if it did mean what you think it means, it's a joke.
