    Hi zsrin,

    see, that does not mean "Hawa", because Hawa is a desire not self pride, unless I understand ego wrong

    Its not wrong..but your understanding is too narrow....
    being a person with ego never mean arrogant.... one is an arrogant person when he/she let his/her ego control himself/herself...
    in the dictionary

    ego means self-pride / self-importance / self-esteem/

    Ego means ''An exaggerated sense of self-importance''. similiary exaggerated self-esteem or self pride. it has a negative connotation to it.

    Peace!

    its not neccessarily "exaggerated"...It can also be just

    Appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem.

    As I said, it depends on how far u understand the word...

      that if you use it as a verb but as a noun desire means desiter = Hawa

      zsrin wrote
      desire

      n 1 the feeling that accompanies an unsatisfied state
      2 an inclination to want things;

      as a verb yes

      as noun desire means desire = Hawa

      are you blind or something?????? The above is a "noun"! Look carefully!

      desire

      n 1 the feeling that accompanies an unsatisfied state
      2 an inclination to want things;

      well read above 6/6, your copy and past dictinart says

      an inclination to want things

      TO BLOODY WANT

      would that sound like a verb to you?

      what a confuser you are

          Ohya..from where you got the translation for the above verse? can you please tell me...how it is translated as "argue"????

          La Taqif, means do not stand, or don't stop at things that you lack knowledge in, EXACTLY AS WHAT YOU ARE DOING Laughing

          See, you proved it yourself who is playing with words...U explained that it means "do not stand", "don't stop"....but then you translated it as "argue"..Do you know what "argue" means??

          1. To put forth reasons for or against; debate
          2. To attempt to prove by reasoning; maintain or contend The speaker argued that more immigrants should be admitted to the country.
          3. To give evidence of; indicate
          4. To persuade or influence (another), as by presenting reasons argued the clerk into lowering the price.

                Peace!

                thanks for the info, you also proved my point that szrin is trying to stretch it to give the word "hawa" a negative feeling so the verse I posted about the people who follow their hawa will be specific to the ones who are following a negative attitude "ego", therefore he can exclude himself freely as if he believes that he does not have ego "hawa"

                see, clear as light

                happy new year

                peace

                  peace,

                  well if you think the word "ego" is only something negative..then I can't do anything..its just like saying a "fire" is only a negative element...

                    My desire is flying = Hawaya El-Tiaran

                    Desire as a verb

                    I desire flying = Ina Ihawa El-Tiaran

                        Hi zsrin and Ahmed Bahgat,

                        Hi zsrin,

                        see, that does not mean "Hawa", because Hawa is a desire not self pride, unless I understand ego wrong

                        .
                        being a person with ego never mean arrogant.... one is an arrogant person when he/she let his/her ego control himself/herself...
                        in the dictionary
                        ego means self-pride / self-importance / self-esteem/

                        Ego means ''An exaggerated sense of self-importance''. similiary exaggerated self-esteem or self pride. it has a negative connotation to it.

                        its not neccessarily "exaggerated"...It can also be just
                        Appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem.

                        I agree. ' Ego' can also mean ''appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem''.
                        Its more often used as ''exagerated''

                        But literally, yes, ur meanings are right as well.

                        Peace!

                          that is a bit of a stretch bro, the arabci Quran is one text since revelation can you show two different Arabic Quran that are for sale, like the many english translatipons for sale?

                          Again, you don't get my message...Did I say Quran? I said "Koran" and I have seen hundreds type of Koran...Big, small, black and white, or coloured version...

                          Quran = Koran =

                          nice try regrarding the coloured Qurans you saw, lol I saw them too, but is the arabic texts between them are different? this may take you a few years to verify

                          whats the difference ?!

                            do you mean between the "Quran" and "Koran"?

                            if yes

                            then, there is no difference whatsoever, it is the flawed method of writing arabic words using english letters that caused this confusion

                            the first arabic letter in the word "Quran or Koran" is "Qaf" this can be represented using a "Q" or a "K", as well the dumma on the first letter can be represenetd by an "O" or a "U", the second letter in both "Koran and Quran"

                                  Ahmed,

                                  I'm dying to hear about the challenge now.
                                  Please tell us about it so that we maybe can give it a go!

                                  Bro

                                  I posted it twice, if you want to take on it you need to spend about 2 years studying arabic and mastering all the secrets of this language, and believe me there are secrets "LOL after you do this, i'm sure you will understand what is required to pass, it will be a waste of time for me and you to explain more than what i have done already,

                                  but truely if you are inteested there is only one way to be able to have a go, YOU NEED TO MASTER THE ARABIC LANGUAGE lol , I'm flunet but I'm not a master in it wink

                                  would like to see the rest of the trials all over the history?

                                  BTW I Know Nazar Qabani very well, i just didn't comment on his poetry

                                  peace

                                    Hey, never mind about the language skills. I've been studying Arabic for almost ten years. I think I can manage. The only thing I want you to do is formulate the challenge. Not by endless assertions joined with random Koranic verses. Just pick out the crucial part, i.e. what the challenge is about. What is it about the challenge that no person has been able to do.

                                    If there is a challenge inside the Koran, then certainly there can't be a problem for you simply stating what it is.

                                    Now, would you mind just state - in your own words - what challenge there is. Please!

                                        Ok, so have I understood this correctly...
                                        All I need to do is write a chapter which by language is similar to the one of the Koran?

                                          no it can't be similar, this means you are copycat lol nice try

                                          you have to come with something about "let's say Allah" of your own and has the a stunning qualities of the Quran using a different "Bihar", and if you do it with me and I'm stunned I will concede

                                          I will go and spend the today's holiday with the kids and family and I will keep checking this post, but I want it in arabic please and try to make it a huge font as my eye sight is a bit odd

                                          I will check the grammar as well bro, I need a min of a line and half

                                          thanks
