Re: Arabic and Islam

@larki

i think the problem here might be due to “islamic” and “muslim” being used interchangeably. i would say “islamic” words are the ones in the Quran and Hadith, that means they’re arabic but of course that doesn’t mean that all arabic words are islamic. “muslim” words are what the majority of muslims use regardless of their nationality thus they are in a variety of languages. For example, Allah Hafiz or Khuda Hafiz are muslim terms because they are used by Muslims (pakistanis and iranis) in their respective languages, while is “islamic”.

I disagree, what is the big difference between Islamic and Muslim? Those who believe in Islam are Muslims; therefore whatever is Muslim is Islamic. Anything halal is Islamic, anything that is haram is not, whether it is Arabic or Indian or Chinese.

Islam defines Muslims, and Muslims define Islam. Of course, by Muslim I mean those who fallow Islam correctly according to the 4 main fiqs and the teachings of the Quran.
