For Sumaiya al-faylasoofa al-kabira and her bogus Arabic!

Submitted by dhimmi no more (United States), Sep 22, 2006 at 17:19

My dear Sumaiya aka al-faylasoofa al-kabira, I requested that you provide me with a reference from an Arabic qamoos to support your bogus claim about the Qur'anic word: B L Gh in aya 18:86. Is this asking for too much or are you really discovering that you have been exposed as ignorant in basic Quranic Arabic?

Now here is your Arabic lesson for today:

The rasm of the word is: B L Gh or beh lam ghian.

Added to the rasm is the following:

1. the beh has a fatha. so now we have: Ba

2. the lam has a fatha so we now has: la

3. The ghian has a fatha so we have: gha

Or Balagha so repeat after me: balagha. (past tense of "he reached" or fa3ala)

Now here is your transliteration lesson for today:

1. Long vowels;

Alif is aa

Yeh is ii

Waw is uu

2. Short vowels:

fatha is a

damma is u

kasra is i

Do you get now ya ayuha al-faylasofa al-kabira?

Now back to Qur'an 18:86

The word is balagha (so you have a computer with Arabic letters, big deal. and not I do ont have an Arabic letters on my computer. Do you have any difficulty with that?)

The word balagha in this context means: He reached period.

So much for your bogus claims.

We kuffar know Arabic better than you do!
