    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....

    sure narrow, because I donlt stretch things to suit my "Hawa", I mean my "Desire"

    but I still insist that "hawa" does not mean "ego" and now I consider this a lie

    being a person with ego never mean arrogant....arrogant, one is an arrogant person when he/she let his ego control himself...

    that is fine, i never claimed to be a flunet english speaker to translate an english word to another, you were just wasting my time with a very weak argument

    in the dictionary

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

    so?

    when you say you desire something...it means you "want/hope/wish/"

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

    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

    so, when you want something... isn't that lead to ego?

    I don't think so

    self-importance? as you said...you love your wife? isn't that mean you want / have passion of her? So, isn't that mean self-important???

    I don't think so

    you can't just look at the meaning on the surface, its like reading a poem....u need to look at it deeper...

    do you mean stretching it?

    p/s I wonder if any of you could understand my explaination...

    no me

    desire = hawa

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

      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

          so leave the arabic alone as you have no knowledge about it and according to 1736 "DO NOT ARGUE IF YOU LACK KNOWLEDGE",

          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 lol

          we have a pefect match ladies and gents wink

          Are you suggesting that we should "follow/accept blindly" if we can't argue???

          No,

          i never said that

          Yes, I am always lack of knowledge...Thats why I always look for answers...

          good but don't argue if you lack knowedge, 1736

          But I don't "follow blindly" as Knowledge came from answers and answers came from questions and if nobody argues...it means everyone has found the "truth"....

          sure, I don't follow blindly either, but I don't argue when I lack knowledge, 1736

          not sure what you mean by still understand wiothout the Quran? what you will still understand? can you be specific?

          I said "koran" not "Quran"..again you are twisting your words..

          Quran = Koran =

          this is a clear cut non sense, the quran explains every thing we need to prosper as well it explains itself in the most accurate of ways

          Can you tell me where on "Koran" I can find an explaination on how to use "Adobe Photoshop"? I want to learn it but still looking for the best book to learn that subject..

          not sure if you need to know adobe photo shop to prosper lol

          haha, thanks for the laugh,

          try the bible, at least we know it was corrupt by humans possibly they inserted it there?, not sure wink

          well, explanation to what exactly?, can you be more specific, is it life, quran, hell, god,...... there are many things that are needed to be explained, and sure most are explained in the perfect and complete arabic quran

          and now you say "most"..I thought you said it explains everything?

          a lie

          i highlighted what i said in red

          I said EVERYTHING WE NEED TO PROSPER

          Ok, nevermind,

          sure I should nevermind because it was a lie

          I need to learn "photoshop" can you please show me a verse that will explain to me about photoshop?

          as I suggested try the bible

          thanks...

          no worries

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

            Appropriate pride in oneself; self-esteem.

            http//www.answers.com/topic/ego

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

                  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...

                                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.

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

                                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.

                                Ego
                                ? noun (pl. egos) 1 a person?s sense of self-esteem or self-importance.

                                  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"

                                    peace mate

                                          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
