For the readers: The real difficulty with Muslims whose mother tongue is not Arabic is that many of them from India or pakistan that memorize the Qur'an in Arabic then believe that they must know Arabic which is far from the truth and even delusional and here is an example: The word (paper) receipt in Arabic means wasl or isal and this is the paper which is really a written contract between two parties

Now the word istilam is Arabic means receiving (or the act of receiving)

And the Arabic term wasl or isal al-istilam means the (paper) receipt of the receiving

And for those of you that can read real Arabic and this is from elmaany http://www.almaany.com/home.php?language=arabic&lang_name=%D8%B9%D8%B1%D8%A8%D9%8A&word=%D8%A7%D8%B3%D8%AA%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85

1. المعجم: مالية -

2. استلام :

   تسلّم المشتري للأصل محلّ قد آجل أو مستقبلي من البائع ، وتعني بالانجليزية : taking delivery

And it says: tassalum or the act of receving (from the same root as istilam) of the buyer now or later from the seller and it means in English taking delivery

So the word istilam means taking delivery not a paper receipt it is the physical act of receiving

This means for the nth time that isal and wasl means receipt and istilam means receiving

You know what our dear Amin? if you really know Arabic and i mean real spoken Arabic you would have known that much but you are a victim of tablighee twists and turns and dishonesty
