Masjid or Mosque?

what do u guys think when ppl call masjid a mosque....i want to know ur views on it.....why do ppl call a masjid, mosque in english whenever they have a conversation? or even on tele! is it the right word?



Its been observed that most of us write


"MOSQUE“ for “Masjid“ and even calling it

as Mosque in daily routine, what elders and teachers say that the

word “MOSQUE“ means the house of mosquitoes not

Masjid. So better be careful next time instead of writing mosque,

u can write MASJID it doesn“t matter..
Mostly we have seen the

spelling of MAKKAH as MECCA.
The word MECCA means “Sharab Khaana“ .
So lets all of us be careful of writing MECCA.

Many people whose name start with Muhammed, write in a short
form as “Mohd“. This “Mohd“ means “A dog
which has a big mouth“.
Guys please forward this message to
as many muslim brothers and sisters as possible .
PLZ BE CAREFULL
FOR NEXT TIME..



God Bless Us !


Ps: got that in my inbox today...........hmmm

pitch or wicket?

Urban myths would have you belive that 'Mosque' was a derogatory term initiated by the Spanish when insulting Islam ...who knows...who really cares? Its a place of worship whatever...

fair enuff u have a valid point.....i was just more intrested if there was something by the islamic scholors about this...

...surely its more important that we actually attend these places than discuss the merits/demerits of what they should be called.

ur right n i agree its just that today while i was speaking to a mate of mine after the namaz e jummah an uncle over heard us while we were having a conversation outside the masjid...n said dont say mosque say masjid.......therz no such thing as mosque i was speechless...............

Yeah it is said Mosque was derived from the word mosquito. So in other words mosque is a place where mosquitoes gather, at least as was put by europeans long ago.

Mosque, masjid...what difference does it really make? God knows your intentions.

Interesting.

Does anyone know how much of this is true?

read post #7

Oh.......it's Mona ~ I was wondering who this catwoman is with like 14000 posts

I agree, mosque/masjid, big difference

would help if people actually read cavs post

i 2nd that.

I thought you were old enough to know that you can't trust chain letters.

When most people say mosque, they mean the Muslim house of worship and when most people write Mohd, they abbreviate it for Mohammed.

It seems rubbish, people could derive all sorts of things in that regard.

So which dog is called "Mohd"? I tried googling it but nothing came up.

the point that it comes from mosque indeed seems to be valid BUT go to the mosque more than worry what it is called. Good to know ut dont we have other things to worry about??

no offence , but your view's in this particular aspect dont hold much in me books

and yes, it is Allah who know's everyone's intentions indeed. : )

nice...google is the answer to everything in your life

Your gullibility and lack of common sense amuse me. You can even do a search for 'mohd' on google and you will find that no dog is called that. Saying mosque or masjid doesn't matter because no one is talking about mosquitos when they mosque...there are better things to be worried about.

Chain letters based on nothing are the answer to everything in your life...nice

Attack the best form of defence ? yes i says !

so how about Mekkah or Mecca then, google that yet ;) ?

cavin, the thread is now a waste. yes it was derived from mosque and once the information is received, let's not pursue this naansense

nope, but until and unless some one with decent knowledge on this particular subject comes up and this thread posts , & no Madamme i dont mean Google knowledge or my dad has told me so knowledge.

No, I got a chain letter on Mekkah and Mecca today.

You have no knowledge either and are very gullible.

At least that's better than relying on chain letters for knowledge, which often turn out to be hoaxes.

but a little more knowledge wont hurt now, or would it ?

i mean if we can Type (i do it all the time) MOHD, why not Muhammad ? how long does that take ? people type Mecca ,why not Makkah ?

but i agree with your post #17.

I have learnt not to belive in chain letters.

bad future.

leave it be now yar, this thread is going nowhere,

That purple smiley is getting really annoying.

Knowledge has to be from reliable sources not from attention seeking chain letters.

Mohd is not the name of a dog, just because some moron named their dog, doesn't make it a dog's name.

i never posted it here to make/prove a point, merely did to ask how much/if any was true..was merely curious nothing more nothing less...but you being such a Good Moslem knows it all

Does any thread go anywhere when Mona argues a point? ;)

any thread which has mona, has never gone anywhere...anyway.

edit

It's Muslim, not Moslem.

did you get a chain letter by any chance

Lock this thread

Unlike you, I am not gullible enough to trust chain letters.

By the way, I was sarcastic in my previous post, in case you hadn't detected that.

this is not mona

It is me!

What makes you say that?

Well done folks.....
