Hello everybody .. Alsalam alaykum..

I am muslim man from Iraq .. raised as muslim within very pure muslim family ..now I am 35 married ..four kids ... and i think I have very clear veiws regrading islam ..hope my English will help

Do you know that man can not commit a sin while he is busy with work !! in another words sins come in our free times ..

I have much time after I  finishing my work as email sender I like to give help for others ,I am lucky to find this forum to gain two aims ..help brothers and sister in islam and improve my english ..

Wa alaikum salaam Brother Abubasil,

Welcome to Islamicity!  Your english is already quite good .  Hope you enjoy your time here.  May Allah protect you and your family from the tragedy happening all around your country.

You are so right about a busy person not being able to sin.  The Christians have a saying, "idle hands are the devil's playground".  A real truism in any faith!

Peace, ummziba.

Bismillah,

Salaams, Brother from Iraq, AbuBasil!  How about if you help me with Arabic also?  I can speak Arabic, but when I watch the news, there are words and phrases that I don't know, and right now, I don't have someone to ask most of the time.  So if I could post a question, just as you can for English, that would be great.  (Right now, I can't think of any!)  I am married with kids also.

Alsalamu alaykum ..bismillah..

First I am very gratefull for Ummziba for the kind welcoming ..

DEAR herjihad ..

It will be my pleasure to help ..but arabic learning seems to be out of this forum topics ..are we allowed to use this space !!??

I will accept private messages ... besides I am online often as abubasil70 in the yahoomsngr in  my daytime ..regards

Bismillah,

MashahAllah, Brother.  Thank you for your offer.  I was going to say more, but I think I just burnt my son's pancakes.

Bismillah

salaams

 I couldnt  understat what you mean by "but I think I just burnt my son's pancakes"

anyway you are welcomed . just click this  ymsgr:sendim?abubasil70 - ymsgr:sendim?abubasil70

regards

Bismillah,

Well, I foolishly thought I could look at the computer for just a minute, but the pancakes that I had put in a frying pan on the stove started to smoke, meaning that I had burned them.  Poor kid.  He was hungry too!

Ana harakat al-akal (pankatat) tabat ibnee.

Is that clear as mud now?

LOL (Laugh out loud).

Bismillah

well ... I really need someone to share me what I like to put in this forum but I am afriad that my english still weak to show what I want to say ... and you have said that you can  read and understand arabic but you you also need help to get better ... we can exchange our goods

Bismillah,

That sounds great.  We can exchange information about Arabic and English on this forum.  There is room.  And we'll find out if there is not because they will delete or edit our posts.

HELP:  Here is a question about Arabic that I have asked many times and never gotten the answer to.  How do you say hug?  In English I say, "I hugged my son."  So in Arabic that would be, "___________ ibnee."

Bismillah alrahman laraheem

dear sister my advice to everyone who wants to learn arabic is to learn how to hand-write it ,this is improtant, after you have learned the shapes of arabic letters (the alphabetics ) and its sounds try to read as much as you can even if you are not knowning what those words mean .... for example ask arabic-afriends how to write each one of the the name of yr friends and and the sound of each letter .. after that try to write any english word with arabic letters like the names of cities ..i think this will be intersting .. writing from right to left  

http://www.funwitharabic.com - www.funwitharabic.com

regarding yr question we say "I hug my soon"

like this "e7tadhanto ibnee" or "3anaqto ibnee" both in past tence

in present tence they will be

"a7tadhin ibnee" and "u3aaniq ibnee"

the characters I use "7,3" to show the sound of

7abeebi=habeebi ,7ub=hub

3arab=arab ...

Bismillah,

Do you have the capability to show those words with Arabic letters because I read and write Arabic, but I need the tashkeel?

��� ���� ������ ������

������ ����� ����� ���� �������

to say: I hug my son

����� ����  � �� ����� ����

I hope these charecters will be veiwed properly

Oooh - this one is a FUN message thread!  (female in USA)

I cracked up at the 'burnt pancakes' post!  That was so frank and cute.  Soo, I am 36 American - born n raised.  True as apple pie.

So, I can help out with english and good ol slang too, okay?

Falcon

Bismillah,

Not to me.  It must be my computer settings.   Or maybe my IC settings.  Anybody know offhand?

Bismilllah

salaams for all

sorry dear Falcon to be late i didnt notice yr offer
I would like to thank you for yr offer it is realy the  revolution of information .now I have much sources for english learning : PC internet Cds tv channel satalite ! but this forum is the most interesting .

for those who can read arabic script in proper this is a short lesson

lets begin with the shapes of arabic letters and now lets limit them into these 14 shapes ... i am sure you will recognize why .. maybe at the end

  �   ��   ��   �  �   ��   ��   �   ��   ��   ��   ���   ���     ����    � 

now print these letters in a paper then try to (draw) its shape with hand from right to left

after you had have enough skill with them try to write complete words

by sticking them togather like these

���� � ��� � ���� � ��� � ��� � ���� � ���� ......

Dear herjihad do this .. in this window from view menu choose Encoding .. more .. arabic ...and find the suitable one ... wasalamu alaykum warahmatu Alllah

Bismillah,

Shukran Jazeelan, AbuBasil!  I didn't change anything, but today I see Arabic letters.  Go figure!

You removed the past tense.  Would you write it completely with present, future and command forms?  Also, with my older eyes, it is hard to see the small Arabic script, so could you make it larger?  Also, the letters don't have tashkeel.

I wish I had one of those templates to put on my keyboard so that I could type in Arabic, but I don't, and it is too difficult to figure out the keys in order to make a message.

I rewrote the first transliteration of the past tense in Arabic leters(I hugged) and practised it.  I'm still practising it though!  I want to practise it in all of its forms.

My grandmother taught me how to make apple pie, and lemon meringue and chocolate meringue.  Have you ever had these pies, AbuBasil?

I WANT TO KNOW ARABIC TOO, BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I HAVE KNOWN BUT I FORGOT. AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THOSE CHARACTERS BEFORE. WHAT ARE THEY? I DID NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING 

Sister in Islam

Bismillah,

Dear herjihad dear brothers and sisters press control button in the keybaord and scroll the the wheel of the mouse up and down at a time for the sake of yr eyes

Bismillah

Salams

One another lesson

I would like to advise those who like to learn arabic to practice it by hand-writting and read the arabic alphabets in its original shapes do not use the english letters for that purpose  ..

Why that ? in  the English lang words are often compound of phonetic sections but in arabic each single character is a phonetic section ! more than that it has three phonetic states ( for example the letter ��  its sound is (K) in english the sound (k) is constant but in arabic ���   is one private ponetic section (ku) )

another example ( the letter ���  its sound is (t) in english the sound (t) is constant but in arabic ���   is one private phonetic section (te) )

one more example ( the letter ��  its sound is (b) in english the sound (b) is constant but in arabic ���   is one private phonetic section (ba) )

so the word ������  (kataba) means he wrote . but ������  (kuteba)  means written (the lesson was written) ������ �����   .....

��������� ����� � ���������� ������ � ������ ��������

I hug my son , I hugged my son , hug your son ...in success

������������ ���� ��������������� ���� � ������������ �����

=============

Sorry I didnt (see) that repast ..but as  Iraqi I like date (date palm fruit)  with the juice of sesame ..hmm tasty

Bismillah,

Thank you Abu Basil!  I printed the phrases you typed in just today, so I can pratice them better.  I have a lot on my mind as a busy mom, but I learn things slowly and steadily and I think I learn more than I forget in the end.

Now, I can picture eating dates, as we do for iftar.  But then you dip them in liquid sesame?

'amilt mensef lil 'akil imbarih.  zakee! (Okay.  I know the Arabic letters, but I don't have a keyboard to type them in.)

Bismillah,
