I find it really funny how easily people jump like beans and start mocking other people and are out to cut throats. Hey you are not ALLAH. He is the one who is going to judge me for my ghunna or whatever. Instead of pointing fingers at others, look at what you are doing and then we'll meet up on judgement day and see whose going to jannat shall we?
[note] Lets not get personal here. The thread is about a general slang expression commonly used for whatever reason. It's no aimed towards anyone is particular nor it should be treated like one. People who use it may have their own justifications, we are not here to crucify them. At the same time there is also no need of being unnecessarily defensive for using it (if you use it). [/note]
Aisha, im not getting at you promise! you wrote earlier that omfg is original and just wanted to say that i dont personally think theres anything original about using the f word, people use it too casually for it to be remotely original, people that use swearwords imo just sound really common,ignorant,uncouth and unintelligent, whether they are swearing in anger or whatever. and i think most people(im thinking of westerners here lol)that use omfg do so because they dont have any regard for God or religion. well so be it, its on their heads.
Okay, so I came here after I read about it in a blog. I can't believe all the justifications people are trying to make here for using that word. It's wrong, period. No matter with how many arguments you come. You know deep in your heart that it is wrong, you're just pushing that feeling away because you want to use 'slang'. People use the word 'bi*tch' referring to their friend, yani ke, kutti... would you feel very honored hearing your friends saying that to you? THINK about how 'GOD' thinks about you using OMFG.
haha i don't even use omfg... it's hihgly entertaining how certain people got personal on my sarcastic first comment in this thread.. kher..! Allah knows my deeds etc and this is a pvt matter between me and my god.. whoever it is.. which is not really ur business.. ur as in anyone's business
You are obviously reading too much in to it. Plus OMFG is not an Islamic term and not created by a Muslim. A christian probably created it or we can obviously trace it's roots back to the west, where it emerged from and became popular from. The word GOD in this term does not in any way refer to Allah SWT. Do not become over emotional and entertain your riled up anger for no reason in this thread.
There is no GOD but ALLAH. For Christians and other people of this world, the word GOD does not refer to ALLAH. It refers to Jesus Christ, or their other bhagwans/deities etc. They do not pay attention to the word god when they use OMFG. It is a spur of the moment kind of slang term only used when a person is highly infuriated in most circumstances. It might be so FCUKING wrong for you, because you are viewing it from the religious angle and reading too much in to it, but not so FCUKING wrong from the countless other peoples angle who do not give a **** about what it means and just use the term because they have a bad habit of doing so.
When muslims use the word "God" they don't mean jesus, seeta, geeta, Ram or whatever - they actually mean "Allah" .. so using a "F" word and God together is pretty offensive and quite low.
