For Dr. Fahad: Quran E-Majeed?

Submitted by dhimmi no more (United States), Aug 9, 2006 at 07:09

My good doctor your Urdu shines loud and clear in your Quran E-Majeed!!.

So here is your lesson for today.

1. It should be al-Qur'an al-Majeed! (I think that Arabs would most likely say: al-Qur'an al-Kareem, but I stand corrected here)

2. Youa also wrote: "Quran (sic) E (sic) Majeed" (the holy Quran)

My dear doctor: the Arabic word Majeed (root MGD) means: glorious! (see Hans Wehr Dictionary page: 893B) It does not mean holy as you claim.

3. In Arabic the word "holy" means: Muqaddas (Hans Wehr Dictionary page 747A,B) and not majeed as you claim.

So you can see that your Arabic translations are very poor.

Do us all a favor: buy yourself a dictionary and stop listening to your ignorant Mullahs!

So much for Arabian Imperialism.
