Asalamualkium, (May the Peace of God be upon You)
I have found that there are many Arabic terms used throughout the English writings For example, what is another word for 'Fajr', Suhoor, Dua, etc.
When one is learning about Islam, and these foreign words are used sporaticaly, why cannot all words remain in English?
Is there an English word for each of these, or is this an infliction of Arabic into the English vocabulary which has no English term?
In other words, anyone who is an English speaking person, has to adapt phrases in Arabic, just to understand God/Allah..when beforehand, God/Allah was so simple to pray to?
Sallam (Peace)
