AVATAR
Asslamo Allaikum,
When I hover my mouse on it as kindly suggested by you...It tells me that its an AVAT"A"R…I can see why it is called that because of the connection with Hinduism….The definition of an Avatar in Hinduism is as follows:
In Hindu philosophy, an avatar, avatara or avataram (Sanskrit: अवतार, IAST: avatāra), most commonly refers to the incarnation (bodily manifestation) of a higher being (deva), or the Supreme Being (God) onto planet Earth.
I suppose because you can change your AVATAR (picture) it is similar to the Hindu belief that they can get reincarnated (AVATAR) as a different being/person/”g”od then what they currently are/were…
It is a highly complicated subject and being a Muslim who believes in the oneness of Allah(SWT) and no reincarnation; I lack the particular knowledge/experience to explain it fully; although others with more knowledge/information then me may attempt to do so
I wanted the Brothers/Sisters to think about the word and its usage particularly in context of us being Muslims & also point out the correct spelling on the way
Jazakullah Khairun
