| [slm] PBUH or SAW are attached after a mentioning a prophet, saw is usually used exclusively when mentioning the last prophet [saw]. RAA is usually tagged on after mentioning a companion. Wasalaam BTW congratulations on being a grandma soon, I just had little girl not too long ago alhamdulillah, she has the the strongest pair of lungs ever....it's a good job my neighbour is as deaf as a post... ::) |

| [slm] Jus thought I'd add this.....when mentioning a Prophet besides Prophet Muhammad [saw] you would add (a.s) >> alayhis salaam, peace be upon him. For male companions, Radhiallahu 'anhu >> May Allah swt be pleased with him.... and for female companions, Radhiallahu 'anha >> May Allah swt be pleased with her. :) ........"Muslims are taught to be respectful to the elderly and to those who contributed to the spread and success in Islam. They are to be grateful to the companions of the prophet (s.a.w.) for their sacrifices, their leadership, and their contributions. Muslims are advised to use this phrase when such names are mentioned or written......." [wlm] :-) |

| [slm] pbuh = (peace be upon him) is for all prophets & angels (as) = (alayhis salaam) is for all prophets & angels (saw) or (saws) = (sallallahu alehi wa sallam) is exclusively (not usually) for the last prophet Muhammad (saws) only one of the appropriate ones is sufficient. you do not combine (pbuh) & (as) or (saw) (raa) has been explained. the abbreviation does not account for gender, of course. there may be some way to distinguish?

| [slm] if you are speaking about more than one companions, then you can say radi'allahu'anhum. this is if there is at least one male in the group. (correct me if im wrong). if you are speaking of two women companions, then you would say radi'allahu'anhuma. again...correct me if im wrong wassalamu alaikum |

| [slm] isn't it... 2 or more male sahabis: radhia mullahu anhu 2 or more female sahabis: radhia mullahu anha similar to 2 or more Prophets: alaihi mus salaam While we're ON this topic of vocab: "Jazak Allah Khair" and it's variations...diff for guys/girls? plural? What about the response for this statement (which makes me really nervous, I usually just mumble it, thinking no one will notice)... What does Ijtihad mean...sorry, I don't know where that question came from, but it would help if I knew what it meant. How about "bi'idhnillah"? And all that sneezing stuff...man that is so confusing. Pardon my inability to communicate effectively. It's been a long day. Wasalaam. |

| Jazakhallahu khayran : This is a statement of thanks and appreciation to be said to the person who does a favor. Instead of saying "thanks" (Shukran), the Islamic statement of thanks is to say this phrase. Its meaning is: " May Allah reward you for the good." It is understood that human beings can't repay one another enough. Hence, it is better to request Almighty Allah to reward the person who did a favor and to give him the best. The statement can be used for either a brother or a sister (please correct me if I'm wrong someone!) As for its reply, there is no set response that I know of...people respond with Ameen wa iyakum....(and you too), wa iyakk (m) or wa iyakki (f), or BarakAllah fee, which means, "May the blessings of Allah (be upon you)." Radhiyallahu anhuma can be used for either sex...and for 2 or more companions. The sneezing bit... The Noble Prophet (peace be upon Him) said: "A Muslim owes six obligations towards another Muslim viz., when you meet him, salute saying: "peace be on you"; when he invites you, you should accept his invitation; when he solicits your advice, advise him sincerely; when he sneezes and praises Allah, respond with the supplication: "Allah have mercy on you"; when he falls sick, you should visit him; and on his death, follow his funeral procession." (Muslim) Should anyone of you sneeze and say Al-Hamdu lillah (Praise is to Allah) it is then incumbent upon every Muslim to respond to his brother or sister-in-Islam saying: Yarhamu kallah (May Allah have mercy on you). Responding to him is a duty and in which case the first should reciprocate saying: Yahdikum-ullahu wa yuslih balakum (May Allah guide you to the right path and set your mind at best). Should that person forget to praise Allah, then the Muslims are not bound to reciprocate. If he went on sneezing, the Muslims would reciprocate three times, and on the fourth they would supplicate to Allah to cure him by saying: Afak Allah. Pray this helps inshaAllah ukthi....if I have said anything wrong, someone please correct me.....surely Allahu a'lam :) [slm] :-) |

| [slm] jazakumulluahu Khairan it would be nice if all this were compiled in one place, with the arabic (with a'araab, of course). This would make a wonderful booklet on Islamic aadaab & greetings. [wlm] |

| Assalamu 'alaikum, [quote]"Jazak Allah Khair" and it's variations...diff for guys/girls? plural? What about the response for this statement (which makes me really nervous, I usually just mumble it, thinking no one will notice)... [/quote] U need to understand the Arabic Grammar to grasp this, but I'll briefly try to explain it: -JazaakAllah khair (used for male). The alphabet 'kaaf' has a fathah (known as 'zabr' in Urdu) on it. -JazaakiAllah khair (used for female). The alphabet 'kaaf' has a kasrah (known as 'zeyr' in Urdu) on it. Remember it this way: U say "Kaifa Haaluka" (How are u?) to a male, and u say "Kaifa Haaluki" (How are u?) to a female. -Jazaakumullahu Khairan (used for plural), meaning "May Allah reward them Reply of all of these, as sis. Nisa has said, will be: -Wa iyyaka (for male). -Wa iyyaki (for female). -Wa iyyakum (for plural). [quote]What does Ijtihad mean...sorry, I don't know where that question came from, but it would help if I knew what it meant. [/quote] Check out this link: [url]http://www.unn.ac.uk/societies/islamic/law/ijtihad.htm[/url] [quote]How about "bi'idhnillah"? [/quote] Bi'idhnillah literally means "By order of Allah". So, its usually said when u are planning on doing something later on, for example: Person A: We'll have the meeting tomorrow. Person B: Bi'idhnillah (or to add to it)/ Bi'idhnillahi Ta'ala. Allahu A'lam. Wassalam. |
