Why not simply "The Law" ?

Whether it is right or wrong if it is original thinking there will be definitely some sense in it; and there is some sense in what you have posted. Yet, may Allah increase in our Wisdom.

Masjid Al-Haraam....

Is this the same word "Haraam" which is the opposite of "Helal"? So Haraam = prohibited/forbidden/illegal and Helal means legal/allowed/lawful?

So does Masjid al-haraam mean the illegal mosque?

thanks

Peace Brother Wakas
thanks for your quick reply
I am on this page of the site you recommended
http//nadeem.reflekterselv.com/rootsearch.php

I have tried typing in H-R-M and Ha-Ra-Mim and also tried typing word in such as sacred/inviolable/forbidden but I think I am using it backwards because I want to know what "Masjid al-haraam" and typing other people's translations in to see if they are correct doesn't seem to bring me any closer to the truth. What am I doing wrong please?

many thanks

peace,

On the page I linked you to, it says the following

To use, click on the first Arabic letter of the root, from the Arabic letters shown above. The Arabic letters are arranged in a similar order to the English alphabet.

Thus, if you had clicked on Ha, then scrolled down to Ha-Ra-Miim you would have found what you were looking for.

Similarly, if you click on Siin, and scroll down to Siin-Jiim-Dal.

They are arranged by verb and word form.

Peace Brother Wakas, thanks for this.
How do you know to use Siin-Jiim-Dal and not Miim-Siin-Jiim-Dal for "Masjid"? Do you always take the last 3?

many thanks

Wakas

peace,

Please read ALL pages on the link I gave you. How to determine the root is discussed in one of the links at the top.

Not the same 'haram'. Masjid al haram is a noun. The 'haram' that you speak of is a verb.

How do you recognize one from the other?

word form, context, grammar, etc.. Arabic is very precise in this way.

I can greet you, say my name, where I come from and tell you the names of some household appliances in arabic... unfortunately I don't have a clue about the grammar!
Will have to get "Arabic for dummies" out )

Can you read it?

www.studyquran.org has some excellent links to aid in your studies.

I have found these books quiet useful

Fundamentals of Classical Arabic

Arabic grammar book. Part 1, Part 2, and finally part 3.

Once you get the hang of it, you will be amazed by the language of the quran. The translations just do not do it justice.
