In this big universe, God made all the religion here on earth
Do you think that there is a life more superior than humans on other galaxies?
Are they Christians or Muslims?
Mankind categorized themselves in many form, that 'category' made them discriminate others.
We(mankind) consider ourselves superior to all beings.
Its human nature, as i said...

Thanks for removing it...

Iranians speak Farsi yes.

Their writing was taken from the Arabs after they converted to Islam. During the course of the centuries, I think they added an extra letter or two... smilar to the Pakistanis and Afgans...

God chose an Arab to become His final and greatest messanger. The Quran is in arabic, God spoke to man through the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) in Arabic, our main holy places (Mecca, Medina, Jerusalem) are in Arab lands.

Take these factors and it gives someone an inflated head... Doesn't mean its correct, but it happens like in all cultures....

Do not generalize... not all Arabs think they are better, just a few, and you got that in all cultures...

PS - We arabs don't think we are better, we KNOW we are better than everyone else :lol: just kidding...


well, liban ,, allow me to correct you . being an arab doesnt give us the right to look in such a way ,,, i am talking about muslim point of view ,, the Prophet Muhammad pbuh said : there is no preferences for an arab over a foreinger ,, or for a white man over a black one ,, the preferece is only by being a good Muslim .

in the Quraan :: We made you tribes and different people to make you get to know each other , the preffered for God is the one who obeys him most .

and this explains it ... but ,, as in any country ,,, there are stupid people who take it this way ,,, you know ,,even an arab when he goes to europe or usa or where ever ,,,,, they will look at him the same way you "laila " complained about that arabs muslims will look at other muslims ,, of course this is not general ,,, and usually in rich countries ,,, unfortunatly ,, its like this ,,, they just feel proud of themselves so that they forget that they are just the same like others .

It has always been about their language.
They speakth the ancient language since their begining.
Wheras other Muslims are just trying to cope with the language.

Just like Chinese from Beijing...they tend to look down upon other Chinese "grown" elsewhere.
They believe that Mandarin is the highest form of language and that it is the language of God. I actually kinda believe that. All chinese words are drawings...pictograph.


see Abs ?????? i think now that its obvious for anybody to see how you are just trying to insult either muslims ,, or arabs ,,, well,, let me tell you something ,, being an arab ,,will make you understand Quraan better man ,, coz its your language ,, although its not an absolute advantage , Hamza Yosuf is a guy from usa ,, he is originally from there,, he doesnt come from any arab origin ,,,of course he converted to Islam ,, and he speaks Arabic even better than me . I mean the formal Arabic .

you can check this out : http://www.alhambraproductions.com/

i dont know if he has any other links .

anyway ,,, think about what you said the other day ,,, "I just want to get explanations ." what kind of explanation do you want on such a comment ?

I agree with you ya khayyi... I think I came out wrong, I meant to say that simply because we are Arabs doesn't make us better than other non-Arab Muslims....

Over 75% of all Muslims are non-Arabs....

It seems there is an inferiority complex inside every race that considers itself exposed to raciest differentiation.

Anyway, I don’t need to prove it with you guys, because it will go on and on and on and it might show up all the stress inside you caused by this problem.

Enough for my own confidence that I love my GF.

now thats thw right way of saying it ....

NOT " Ilove my Girl Even if she's ..... "
NOT " I love my girl inspite of the fact that she is ... "

it should be ..... " I LOVE MY GIRL ."


cause with love ... we get to be color blind ...
with love we tend to bend and mend ...
with love theres no measurement of reason ...

yeah all arab dont think they are greater..but few..let them to think..even Christian people also think that Jesus is the Son of the God..Jews think that are the blessed one and they will go directly in the heaven.let them to think...even a frog also thinking that the well where it is living is the complete world...

"The Jews call 'Uzair a son of God, and the Christians call Christ the son of God" ...http://www.islam101.com/quran/quranYusuf/009.q

Rember this points:
“All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over a black nor a black has any superiority over a white — except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not therefore do injustice to yourselves. Remember one day you will meet Allah and answer your deeds. So beware: Do not stray from the path of righteousness after I am gone.”

This is what the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said on the subject

"All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly. Do not, therefore, do injustice to yourselves."

Taken from his final/farewell sermon - just to a google..

oops - sorry, Arnie is right - meant to type 'do a google' not 'to a google' :)

You can do a search on Google for the Prophet (s.a.w.) final sermon for the full text.

Emadullah - I wasn't replying or responding to anyone in particular, I just wanted to show what the Prophet Muhammad said on the subject of this discussion thread. I think it speaks for itself - apologies for any confusion and my typo!

Arniegang - whenever a muslim mentions the name of a prophet, they say a prayer to show respect to him.

In the same way that a knight of the realm is always addressed as 'Sir', so muslims show respect to prophets and even companions of prophets.

The highest prophet in status - for the fact that he brought the last testament and religion - is the Holy Prophet Muhammad, s.a.w.

The s.a.w. is an abbreviation of the prayer that Muslims say whenever we say or hear his name and stands for
"Sallalahu alaihee wa aalihi wa sallum" or shortened to "sallalahu alaihee wa sallum"

which translates to
"peace and blessings of Allah be upon him and his family" or in the shortened version just 'peace and blessings of Allah be upon him'.

Sometimes this is abbreviated in English as Muhammad, pbuh (peace be upon him).

When any other prophet is mentioned, the prayer 'Allaihee as Salaam' = 'on who whom be peace' is said after their name (abbreviateed a.s. )

For any companion of a prophet - i.e. a follower who lived and met a prophet - we say the prayer "radhi allahu anhu" = "may Allah be pleased with him" (or ..anha for a lady), when we say their name.

Please excuse the transliterations all you Arabic speakers!
