it says forbidden is 'muharram' .... Is that pronounced as haraam, or is that the word it derives frm?

The Lover is ever drunk with love;
He is free, he is mad,
He dances with ecstasy and delight.

Caught by our own thoughts,
We worry about every little thing,
But once we get drunk on that love,
Whatever will be, will be.

I didnt understand your question,

Muharram: Is the first month of the Islamic Calendar.

The meaning of the word:- The word "Muharram" means "Forbidden." Even before Islam, this month was always known as a scared month in which all unlawful acts were forbidden, prominently the shedding of blood.

Quote:
Muharram, the forbidden month, is the opening month of the Hejira year. The 10th day of the month is celebrated by the Sunnies as well as the Shias all over the world. It was on this day that God is believed to have created Adam and Eve and that the Pharoah of Egypt and his countrymen were drowned in the Red Sea by the will of the Almighty. Again it was on this day that the most lamentable carnage at Kerbala took place in 680 A.D. when Imman Hussain, the grandson of the Prophet and his men met with their end in an agonising manner. On this day the Jews observe fast. The Prophet enjoined on the Muslims to observe fast on the ninth and tenth of Muharram. It was to commemorate the victory of the Jews over Pharoah that fasting was enjoined upon Muslims on these days. For the Shia Muslims, Muharram is an important occasion for religious ceremony. The Sunni Muslims do not celebrate Muharram, but the devout Muslims among them observe fast.

That where it derives from.

Quote:
The site of the birthplace of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is to be demolished and in its place a new project to be made.

Quote:
In the holy city of Makkah the birthplace of our beloved Prophet (PBUH) is under threat by the Saudi authourities. They want to take down the the house where our Prophet (PBUH) was born.

something needs to be done.. visit [url]

The Salafi brothers I know respect everyone and how they are portrayed on the internet and forums especially doesn’t reflect an ounce of truth-

I’ll post a video of a Salafi Masjid (Soon Insha'Allah)- and who says that Masjid needs reform!

[size=18][b]And this thread was suppose to be for the muslim and non muslim alike to learn Islamic Vocabulary, not for Mr. Omrow to make more senseless wisecracks. [/b][/size]

ok so tell me is it right to destroy the sights we have left at Makkah shariff and Madina? also make some of them into Toilets??

The salafis of Saudi Arabia are erroneously called "wahabis" by their detractors, especially neocon slimebags and extremist shia who profit from making them out to be these big bad fundamentalists out to take over the world.

If the Salafis viewed everyone else as "infidels" they wouldnt allow anyone else to enter their country, or even perform the hajj now would they.

One can be against certain excesses of some salafis without falling into the trap of the criminals who seek to destablize the entire region with their wars of conquest.

Nobody here is defending the corrupt Saudi government, but one knows the difference between a corrupt government and smearing the entire country and its people as "wahabi this wahabi that.

lol I don't think you understand the point of Omrow.

I started a thread on the topic of Omrow once, every thread is supposed to be for Omrow to make senseless wisecracks.

Good thread though, I often get lost in a flurry of Shukrans Afwans Salaams Salafis and Mushriks.

There should be a dictionary somewhere or something.

Thanks I’m glad this may be beneficial to you, if I remember correctly you wanted to learn Arabic?

There’s no point in asking your Arab/American friends, you’ll only learn swear words

lol ahh so you've met my friends.

I tried to impress a Saudi with my vast knowledge of arabic from one of my roommates.

...that was embarassing.

Is that Pimsleur series any good?

do shahid and sahib come from a similar grouping of words?

Lol

I wouldn’t know how to evaluate the “Pimsleur series” on it’s effectiveness, because I haven’t tested it, if you like- would be better suited asking someone who has used Pimsleur series to learn Arabic.

Personally I think that if you travel to a country and spend some time there. Then you’re more likely to pick up and learn the language of that country.

lol i fail to see the difference between the two. If one is calling one a "wahabi" and the other is calling one "slimebags and extremist shia"....

I agree with your last comment how the Saudi Govt. is corrupt not the people themselves.

lol yes, unfortunately nothing can make up for travel.

And what is equally unfortunate I doubt I will be doing so for a number of years.

Other than Disney World.

For some reason i've always been able to pick up languages quickly through books and tapes, I was actually conversational well before I went to Italy.

Ah well...
