UH EWW "Hindustani"?? Nope, I speak Urdu man lol. So for Urdu....HOLLA 497 million speakers!...:mashallah:
By the way, Namaste does NOT mean I bow to the divine (Allah) in you. It literally means "I bow to YOU" and bowing to any other than Allah is totally HARAM. It's a signature greeting of the HINDU religion, which acknowledges that there is a DIVINITY within EVERYONE. Therefore it is a despicable faith and not what you want associated with you as a muslim.
P.S. I resent the fact that Pashto isn't up there lol.
Salam Alaykom,
From what I know Namaste means "I bow to the divine (Allah) in you"
So, it is not bowing to another person, but rather the divine (God/Allah) in the other person, because we are all Allah's (swt) creation.
