The I-soc (Islamic Society)

I am tres good. Long day at work?

If you have arab freinds try to practice it with them
You could find a sunday school or something or join an arabic course (if there is)
You could develop your basic arabic into better by reading maybe...

There is thing called the quranic word of the day, it send you a arabic word every day with the meaning it is pretty good and has helped me a little. its a start i guess.

You don't have to be addicted to it to be haram.... they talk as if they know the "ghaib".... and really once i read in them.... it's just a complete random scattering of people's personalities according to their horoscope... it really annoys me seeing on egyptian t.v., muslims running a programme which is completely about horoscopes... and this guy comes up talking as if it is a great knowledge he possesses.

I so wanna learn how to speak & write Arabic. I know how to read basic Arabic but what good is that

What do people suggest is the most efficient way?



I know a few words though

Milli is on holiday i think x

Marhaba! Erm, Assalamu Alaikum, Khai fahala? (I've nearly exhausted my arabic knowledge in that! )

The closest I have to real Arab "friends" is on the net lol

One of my best friends is Somalian though lol. Yeah I'll check at my local masjid if they have any classes

Just a few hours but it get boring like all jobs! but it pays so i can't complain!

Wa alaikum salam

I don't know what khai fahala means

I know these though [I hope!]

La = No
Yalla = Hurry?
Marhaba = Welcome
Shukran = Thank you
Sobr = Patience?

Sabr = patience
Osbor = be patient
Yalla is actually not from orignial arabic, but it is used in general speech and ya it means hurry or "come on"

Thanks for the welcome guys. o0MorseyMan0o is right Aliyah (beautiful name by the way, hope you don't mind if I call you that, it's just so gorgeous!), Britain and it's Muslim community need people like you to speak out. Have you heard of MPAC-UK? http://www.mpacuk.org/ I was a little disappointed with its website, to be honest, as it wasn't quite what I expected, but the young men who started the organisation said its purpose was to speak out against terrorism and educate people about the true Islam.

I've seen a lot of Muslims type it on this board, and you've said the same thing, about the media changing, but how can the media change when all they've got to go on are the radical Muslims who make the news?? And can you really *expect* the media to change? With the exception of perhaps The Independent, the media do not care for anybody's rights, they care about what sells. The onus is on peaceful Muslims to make a larger noise than these extremists, and I really really hope you guys can do it

Also the guys they arrested are young/british muslims.

Thanks

I learnt "yalla" when I was in Medina in the shopping centre and this arrogant boy around my age [19] kept saying "yalla yalla" to the chip shop man because he wanted his food quick lol

And I learn "sabr" from when I was next to the Kaba, when people kept pushing to kiss the Black Stone, and everyone kept saying it

I learnt Maraba from the countless of shop owners who try and invite us in at every chance they get

Inshallah you do well. There's a du'aa one could say before starting the exam. But I really don't know it's translation, seriously i try to find but most of the time i dont. Here it is:

اللهم اشرح لي صدري ويسر لي أمري واحلل عقدة من لساني يفقه قولي
