Common Arabic Phrases Translated - joshua72 - 06-29-2004
Salam alykum,
I do not speak arabic, but I try to learn it as I see it.
So far, I know the what the following mean:
salam
salam alykum
jazekallah khair
allahu akbar
But there are other words and phrases that I see very commonly among these boards. Such as:
wa alaikum asslam wa rahmt allah wa barakath
wa moutasimah
and others.
I was wondering if someone could tell me what they mean?? I know there are websites that attempt to teach you common arabic words, but I am just looking for the phrases that I see so frequently on this forum.
jazekallah khair!

assalum allykum wa rahmat allah wa barakath
joshua you already now the above right .
and the answer to the upper greeting is:
Quote:wa alaikum asslam wa rahmt allah wa barakath
it means : and peace be upon you and allah's mercy and his blessings.
Quote:wa moutasimah
well this is a saying it has a story , but we don't use this saying much here.
moutism : is an ancient khalifah - ruler-
wa : it's used for calling someone when you're in danger or acritic situation. it means = HEY.
SO THE WHOLE FRAZE IS A CALL FOR HELP FROM THE KHALIFAH BY A WOMAN IN NEED.
HEY MOUTSIM
jazak allah khair joshua
