Bismillaahir Rahmaanir Raheem:

                           Zabur - The holy book  of Dawud (Alahis-salaam). Also known as David in christianity.
       

                          Tawrat (Torah) - The holy book of Musa (Alahis-salaam). Also known as Moses in christianity.


                            Injil - The holy book  of Isa (Alahis-salaam). Also known as Jesus in 
christianity.

                            Quran - The holy book of Mohammed (sallahu alahiva-sallam).He is the role model of Islam.           


                            These are the holy books which Allah sent via their prophets to the world.

Prophet :
                MUHAMMAD (sallallahu-alaihi-wasallam) is the prophet of the Islamic faith. He was born A.D. 570. and died in A.D. 632. 

Salaam:
              A salutation, greeting, or blessing which means peace.

Masjid: 
             Arabic word translated as mosque.A place or house of prayer-literally, a place of prostration.

Qibla: 
             Direction toward Mecca that is designated in a place of prayer. 

Ka'ba:
Qur'an:
            The Islamic holy book  which is in the  Arabic word for recitation.

 Sura:
          Chapter of the Qur'an, of which there are 114.The plural of surah is suwar, which means chapters.

 Shirk:
           The act (sin) of regarding anything as equal with god. This includes idolatry, polytheism, or attributing divinity to a person.

 Kafir:
           This is a person who refuses to submit to Allah. This term is generally used by Muslims to refer to those who do not believe in Muhammad and the Qur'an, and who do not believe in god.


Injil:
         It is the Gospel of Jesus and one of Islam's Holy Books.

  

                 




                                Means all praise and thanks belong to Allah alone because He is the originator of everything. To praise or thank something is indirectly praising and thanking Allah because He is its true Creator.

                                     Alhamdulilah--->"Praise be to God".

                      

                            Many people have ruined this word for us in a way that we can no longer say it out loud in airports or in public transport. People who do not understand the meaning think it is some kind of shout terrorists use, but the actual meaning is "Allah is the greatest". Muslims use this when they approve of what they hear or when they witness something beautiful. It has such a beautiful meaning, too bad some people have messed up this word and its meaning.

So next time you hear Muslims use one of these words no need to get confused or scared. These are just sayings we use on a daily basis.

           Allahu-Akbar (Allah is the one and he is the greatest/greater among of all)

         

                          When a Muslim wants to ask Allah for forgiveness he will say ‘As-tag-firullah’. It literally means ‘I ask Allah for forgiveness. The funny thing is that it is meant to use this word for mistakes you made yourself but many people like to use this word to judge others for their ‘mistakes’.
    For example :  "As-tag-firullah" sister, your hijab doesn’t cover your hair properly!’

                  This one can be used in two different situations. The actual use of this word is when you make resolutions or when you plan on doing something. Because "Insha-Allah" means "if Allah wills". But parents all over the world have inherited this word to train their kids not to while when asking for something.


For example : Mom, dad can I go to the movies tomorrow?’
                        "Insha-Allah"
                       We used to think that this means that they put the trust in the hands of Allah, but growing up   we all know that it actually means no.
