Salamun alaykum

Could any expert Arabic Speaker in the Forum clarify the Real meaning of the word 'Haram' Please? Is it Holy or is it Forbidden or Both ?

Thank you

Peace almarh0m,

You can be the judge. You can look up the root of the word in Lane's Lexicon. Try looking Here to find out the root definitions.

One more thing, you don't necessarily want an Arabic Speaker to help you with issues such as this. You will want the help of those who are knowledgable in Quranic Arabic.

Salaam,
Damon.

I recommend a good Lexcon as Damon has pointed out, and looking up every occurrence. You can do both here

Thank you so much fot the Links, I need that. Been wondering how the word Haram got to be translated as Sacred and Holy , Alaways thought that It meant Forbidden.

Once again thank you
