Re: Arabic anyone?

Re: Arabic anyone?

Re: Arabic anyone?
Thanks Aisha, so he was actually being pretty polite for an Arab even after what I said to him.
I feel really bad now, I gave him so much crap simply because he said on his profile that "Pakistanis should be proud of who they are, they should stop posing as Arabs on here simply because they have learnt how to recite the Qur'an in Arabic, Arabs and Pakistanis are a completely different race, we have more in common with Jews"
Now that I think of it what he said was right, he wasn't really being racist but I called him a camel jockey and sand nigger.
I've seen him in town a few times and he's talked to me a few times but I saw that on his profile so I gave him a piece of my mind, good job I've no pics on there and he doesn't know it's me from town.
Re: Arabic anyone?
awww it happens just apoligise if you feel too bad about it :)

Other than the commonality with Jews part, I find that advice rather relevant and useful for many among us who try to exaggerate the remotest associations with the Arab world due to an inferiority complex.
Re: Arabic anyone?
Let's start reciting Quran in Urdu then.
We love Arabs and Arab lands because our Prophet(SAW) was from that race and region otherwise there's nothing special about Arabs.
He wasn't suggesting that we stop using Arabic as the language of liturgy but he was talking against Pakistanis on that particular website who put Arabic in the spoken languages and ethnicity section simply because they can chant the Qur'aan (usually without understanding it) in Arabic.
I apologised and he also apologised for coming off as racist, he said he's not racist and respects all ethnicities as long as they respect themselves.
Re: Arabic anyone?
"chant the Quran"....I think both of you need a serious lecture on manners of a discourse.
Re: Arabic anyone?
bas thori se thareef kar raha hai sirf arbi mein ..
iss se mujhe aik joke yaad ata hai lol, a pakistani went to saudi lol and wahan pe uss ki aik arab se laraai ho gai, arbon mein fist fight ka rawaaj ghat hai so.. pakistani ne uss arab ki maan bhen aik kar di.. aur arab bhi bol para and uss ne bhi maan bhen aik kar di .. pakistani hiraan ..k iss ullo ko mein gaaliyan de raha hoon aur yeh mujhe Qur'aan sunaa raha hai lol ..
and you se bhi kuch aisi baat ban gai lol you gave him your peace of mind and he reads you quraan lol
I kind of agree, I can see where he was coming from, we Pakistanis no matter what ethnicity do have an inferiority complex…
It is ingrained in the our minds from a young age when we are taught at school that it is unPakistani, bakward, illiterate, unrefined and uncultured to be proud of our own ethnicities (Punjabi, Pashtun, Sindhi, Balochi, Kashmiri) and instead it’s more proper to adopt Urdu…
…When we go to other countries, we carry this mindeset of insecurity and shame with us and think we can better ourselves by being something else.
Everyone should be proud of who they are whether that is Arab, Punjabi, Bengali, Urdu, Pashtun, Basque, Rroma, Hebrew, Kurdish, Tamil, Kashmiri etc.
As anti-Indian as I might be I respect the fact that they have accepted that being Indian is not an ethnicity, that India is a multi-ethnic nation, a federation.
I think we in Pakistan need to start being proud of who we are whilst respecting others, we’ll be much happier and more respected by others, Urdu and Arabic are fine languages but they are not ours.
I respect Urdu and there should be a seperate Urdu speaking province (Karachi) in Pakistan but it shouldn’t be forced in other provinces, that’s cultural imperialism.
We are not of Persian or Arab descent (like some wannabes claim), even if we are it is irrelevant today what our ancestors might have been, now we are Punjabi, Sindhi and Pashtun…
Erm I think you need to stop nitpicking.
I respect the Qur’aan and “chant” is not disrespectful. 
I also think Nothing wrong with chant.. cos in the Qur’aan it says
‘‘Ratti lil Quraana tarteelan’’ chant in arabic translates as ‘‘Tarteel’’ from the verb Ratta la. to Recite the Quraan tarteelan ie. chanting, nicly, with tarannum.
eg, Quraan when read in Taraaweeh in the Holy kaaba by the Imam Sheikh al Sudais.. is with Tune and Tarannum ..according tot he verse Ratti lil Quraana tarteelan.
It is disrespectful to chant or sing Quran and so is refering to recitation as chanting/singing.
Be careful next time.
Thank you.

mind you tarteel doesn't mean tarranum or melody....it means slowly and with gaps.

Now I know who you are. I was wondering why you were so rude to me...
:)
I think we should leave things as they are because once this pandoras box is opened, it would be impossible to close. Besides, we need a national language. If not urdu then something else.
