Teaching Arabic to wannabe Arabs

It is sad when non Arab Muslims believe that they know the Arabic language and its grammar

The word for killing for fighting in the Quran that is used is "Qital' and not jihad.

Mr and you must pardon me ignorant let me teach you a few facts about the semitic languages root system

In the case of the words kill and fight they both come from the semitic root ق ت ل or Q-T-L and from this root we have

1. يقتل yaqtul means he kills, قتل or qatl means killing, قاتل or qatil means killer

2. يقاتل or yuqatil means he fights, قتال qital means fighting, مقاتل or muqatil means fighter

Very different words but belong to the same root and this is indeed the genius of the semitic grammar that seems to be beyond ignorant wannabe Arabs like you

So you see it is either the ahmadees are aware of what I just wrote but in this case they would be liars for lumping the words kill and fight or they are lost when it comes to the grammar of the Arabic language so which one is it? Ignorance or liars?

Now let us move on to the root ج ه د or J-H-D where we have the following stems

1. يجاهد جهاد مجاهد or yujahid (he fights a holy war) JIHAD (holy war) mujahid (holy fighter)

2. يجتهد اجتهاد مجتهد or yajtahid (he strives to improve), IJTIHAD (or striving to improve) mujtahid (he who strives to improve)

3. يجهاد جهد مجهود or yujhad (he is under stress) juhd means stress, majhood (he is stressed)

Very different words with very different meaning and this is indeed what you will find in Lisan al-3Arab

See why ahmadees are either ignorant of all of this or they are liars
