Assalamu alaikum,

Lol!  You have to suffer through it just like we did sister ;)  But look at it this way ... there's a pretty nice reward at the end of it all: "Mujahid"!

Wassalamu alaikum.
P.S. Actually, I didn't have to suffer through it.  "Geek" was introduced after I had already reached the status of "Mujahid" :)

Assalamu alaikum,

Jannah, Madina sahaba is grammatically incorrect.  Sahaba is plural.  Also, it sounds odd to me.

as-Salaamu 'Alaikum,

What is the singular term for "Sahaba", and also, since I'm a "newbie", how many times do you have to post in order for your status to be changed?

was-Salaamu 'Alaikum

Sahaabah (plural, masculine)
Sahaabiyaat (plural, feminine)
Sahaabee (singular, masculine)
Sahaabiyah (singular, feminine)

Jannah, I'm still thinking about alternatives!

Wassalam.

If you want it to sound correct then it has to be Madina sadeek.
Sadeek means friend ,whereas sahabi and sahaba are special for the friends of the prophet(salla-lahu alayhi wa sallam).

Oh yah, and i think sahabi just means companion, doesnt it? Or does it only apply to the companions of Prophet Muhammad (alayhis salatu was salaam)?

Assalamu alaikum,

Tycoon also means a masterful leader.  I was thinking more in terms of a "big shot."  Anyway, it was just something that came to mind. Does anyone else have some good suggestions?  

Yalla guys!!!  What happened to the originality of the "Original Three"? ? ?

Maliks Muwatta:Book 56, Number 56.2.5:

Malik related to me from Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Alqama from his father from Bilal ibn al-Harith al-Muzani that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "A man speaks what is pleasing to Allah and he does not suspect that it will have the result that it does, and Allah will write for him His good pleasure for it until the day when he meets Him. And a man speaks what excites the wrath of Allah and he does not suspect that it will have the result that it does, and Allah will write His wrath for him for it until the day when he meets Him."

Senior citizen!

Hehe, that would not be popular, unless elections are near :)

Aren't there any other words similar to mujahid. Words that convey different ranks of mujahids ?
