For M&M and his poor Arabic and what is really a wannabe Arab

My dear M&M you are trying hard to be an Arab and you ain't. You wrote

>The lord of worlds Malik al-mulk

Tsk...tsk...tsk.. No the Lord of the worlds is "rabbi al-3aalamiin" (see Surat al-Fatiha verse 2) Your Arabic is bogus so far.

And malik al-mulk does not mean the Lord of the worlds as you claim. The word malik means the king. Meem with a ftaha and lam with a kasra and kaf. Very different word from maaliki (see surat al-fatiha Cairo edition of the Qur'an 1923-1924 verse 3) and maaliki means the owner of and it is meem with a fatha, alif, lam with a kasra and kaf with a kasra. And the alif v. the fatha makes the big difference. But again you ain't no Arab.

The word Mulk means: rule, reign, supreme authority, dominion, kingship, ownership (see Hans Wehr Dictioanry page 922B)

So your claim that malik al-mulk means the Lord of the worlds is bogus.

Then you wrote

>aquimas(sic) salat

What on eath is aquimas? And why do you pretend to know Arabic when you do not know?

Then you wrote

>wa ata'uz (sic) zakat

let me correct it for you; wa ya3tii al-zakat or he gives the zakat and why do you pakistanis have no clue about the Arabic definite article al?

Then you wrote

>makes hajj

No it is wa yahij. ...And shame on you for pretending to know Arabic when you really do not know.
