Help with Words
-
During my short time on this forum, I have come across many, many words I do not understand, such as "haram", "Alumu", "salat", etc. etc. Would it be possible for someone to write a small dictionary for me?
Just tell me the words and I'll be happy to translate
Haram prohibited
Halal allowed
Alamu knows
Salat contact prayers (a few here are still researching this word)Anything else?

Thank you. I have another four
Zakat
Dawah
Hijab
KhutbahZakat - contribution towards betterment, purification, increase, charity (basically any kind of charity - be it food, money, knowledge, etc. etc. on the day of harvest; ie. when you recieve it.)
Dawah - missionaring(?), the thing that missionaries do
Hijab - veil (not just head-cover, any kind of veil)
Khutbah - sermon
From your first list you wanted to know "salat".
It means "contact", "contact prayer, "follow closely", "connection" "remaining attached" (note some of these are from the root of the word, not just the noun, that's why there are verbs). -

lol. either he pressed "d" instead of "s", meaning he wanted to write "shirk" or he mixed up "r" and "k".
anyhow, Rev. John
you have the meaning of "shirk" now.
"dhikr" (spoken "zikr" meansreminder, remembrance
can anybody think of other meanings?
