Trying to Understand Thoughts of a Hijaabi

My good friend told me that she reads my blog but has a hard time trying to understand it. So I decicded to make like a little dictioanry for the words that I use on my site that may be hard to understand:

aSw=Assalam ‘alaykum: literal meaning is “Peace be unto you,” a greeting Muslims use.

hamdulillah-its really written al-hamdulillah but I juss write funny: literal meaning is “All praises be to Allah,” it can also be said when hearing good news, when sneezing, or I juss usually say hamdulillah a lot

inshaAllah: “If Allah wills,” its said when you are intending to do something, or like when you are hoping for something, ex: “inshaAllah I will get a really high GPA this semester!”

mashaAllah: “What Allah Likes,” say when you appreciate something

subhanAllah: “Glory be to Allah,” say when you praise someone or something.

JazakAllah//JazakAllah Khayr: “May Allah reward you,” you say it when thanking someone

juss=just-I juss don’t know proper English.

du’as: supplication

Ummah: community or nation

Allahumma sali ala sayyidina muhammadin an-Nabbiyil ummiyi Wa ala alihi wa sahbihi wa salim: Salawat for the Prophet Muhammed (peace and blessing be upon him)-a way to remember him, there are different Salawat’s

radf: my pen name

Ya Rubb: Oh My Lord, kind of like Oh My God

[Ya] Rahman: [Oh] Compassioante One

[Ya] Raheem: [Oh] Merciful One

[Ya] Lateef: [Oh] Subtle One

Allahu Alam: Allah [God] Knows Best

Tawaqqul: Trust in Allah [God]

deen: religion

dunya: world

akhirah: after life

fardh: a duty or act which is obligatory upon every Muslim, an act which every Muslim must do, it has been written in the Qur’aan

waajib: an obligatory act

mustahab: an act which is done will be rewarded, if not, nothing will happen, also known as nafl

Eid Mubarak!: translates to “blessed festival,” it’s the greeting Muslims says to Each other on Eid which is an Islamic holiday. Throughout the year there are two holidays Muslims celebrate Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr.

Eid ul-Fitr: Muslim holiday which is celebrated after the end of the month of Ramadhaan

Ramadhaan: month where Muslims do not eat or drink from sunrise to sunset for a month

Eid ul-Adha: Muslim holiday which rememers Prophet Ibraheem who was willing to sacrfice his son for the sake of Allah (God)

Fajr: prayer performed before sunrise

Zuhr: prayer performed early in the afternoon

Asr: prayer performed in the late afternoon

Ok so I hope that helps, if I think of anything else I’ll come back and edit the list but for now I think it’s pretty sufficient.

Take care inshaAllah, and please keep me and the Ummah in your du’as.
