Our dear Jamil ... who is really saying that if the Grand Poobah of all garmmarians tells us that the word Istilam means receipt then it must be true which says a lot about his poor madrassa and non British education

We kuffar look for the evidence so I urge the readers to read this old post of our dear Amin or what ever his name is

Now in this post our dear Amin aka Jamil is using an English language dictionary, yes an English language dictionary instead of an Arabic/Arabic dictionary to tell us what the really means and I call this poor education

(This is what I wrote and not any different from what I'm saying now)

"It is for sure a mistake and i proved it to you even from their own definition after all does the word receipt mean acceptance or taking over or assumption? you tell me and before you answer what is really a receipt?"

(And this is his childish response)

How is it a mistake . . . and you DID NOT prove it. Ha ha . . . you just made up some nonsense . . .

The mistake is entirely yours. You are someone who does not even know what And adverb is, What the terms "Subject" and "Object" mean. You laughed at the notion of verbs conjugating. You thought one had to stick the particle "Inna" in fron of them . . . .

And you are declaring . . . . several Arabic dictionaries as incorrect? Why?

Al Marid, Hans Wher - Google, Al Maany - just to name a selection.

He he he . . . .

(Then I asked)

"you tell me and before you answer what is really a receipt"

(And this is his flawed answer)

- - - -

"For the nth time the word wasl and isal mean RECEIPT and the word istilam means RECEIVING not receipt

What a disaster"

Sure . . . I think you are suffering SERIOUS psychological problems. So according to you . . . Arabs are wrong . . .

And you are the right one.

But dearie . . . I do not KNOW your private version of the Arabic language.

We are talkign about the Arabic langauge . . . the language of Arabs.

- - -

So several Arabic dictionaries - the ones that list Istilaaam are WRONG . . . and you are right.

Wow!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So our dear what ever his name is, is using an English language dictionary in-order to tell us what an Arabic word means

I call this and you must pardon me stupid

Now it is your turn to make a fool of yourself again! Go!
