I was boosting this subreddit with posts consistently since December. Now there is 2k weekly visitors. So it's not dead. But now my passion is exhausted.

Also I need to focus on making money. I know that in your imagination I get a lot of money from Israel for this, but I don't need money in your imagination. I need it in my actual account.

Also I wonder whether this subreddit can stand on its own or whether it's just all about people looking at my posts. The most engaging post in the history of this subreddit wasn't from me, so I guess you guys can do something too!

I'm still the admin. I will still moderate it (if someone posts off topic). I'm open to add new moderators. I hope that other people can make posts here and that it doesn't die. I expect the views to drop below 1k weekly, but I hope that the subreddit won't die. And if it dies without me, then it didn't deserve to live in the first place. A subreddit must be a community.

The name is أل التعريف and the alif has a written hamza!

The definite article al- has hamza wasl, which is not written and the alif accepts the vowel of the previous word. And it's ok, because the focus is on the word and not on the definite article. But when we wanna talk about the al- itself, then having the weak hamza would make it kinda disappear in pronunciation, because we would have only lam. So the name actually gets a hard hamza (قطع) and a fatha.

You have to write the "non-" first as a standalone word (غير) and then the "the" (ال) comes, connected to the word itself.

So "the non-convinced one" would be غير المقتنع and NEVER الغير مقتنع. You might find Arabs using the second one, but it's incorrect in MSA.

Even many native Arabs don't know how this works!

When you have a form I verb, the first and third radicals have fixed diacritics, but the middle one could be kasra, fatha or damma - any of them. And you have to learn the diacritic for each verb separately.

And then when you wanna make it into imperative, you have to consider the diacritic on the middle radical in the present tense (NOT THE PAAST!!!!!).

The simplified playbook is like this:

  • A -> I A
  • U -> U U
  • I -> I I

So yaf3Alu is If3Al. yaktUbu is UktUb and yaDrIbu is IDrIb.

AND YOU NEVER EVER, NOT EVEN IN A MILLION YEARS WRITE THE HAMZA ON THE FIRST ALIF! There's no أكتب or إقرأ as imperative. This is WROOOOOOOOONG!

Iqra is اقرأ. You might add the kasra اِقرأ but NEVER EVER IN A MILLION YEARS THE HAMZA (إقرأ).

If anyone on this subreddit writes the hamza on the alif in form I imperative, he will be BANNED FOREVER!!!!!! NO HAMZA!

This course is in MSA with subtitles and goes through the basics of programming in Python!

It has some little Islamic insertions, but most of it is about Python.

It will enrich your vocabulary about special characters.

Most languages use the left hemisphere primarily, but languages like Chinese and Arabic use both hemispheres! Learning Arabic will turn your whole brain on.

If you add Chinese to it, you might become a super-human.

Even the subreddits that are not related to Islam usually have respecting Islam as rule number 1.

Then there are some specifically Arab ex-Muslim subreddits, but they usually don't welcome Muslims. I know practically only 1 Arabic subreddit where Arab Muslims and Arab Atheists engage freely: r/ArabsFreedom!

Re-volt Cypher 2. This rapper is Spestian.

The song has many rappers. The second one is Shiboba - a Saudi rapper who got detained in 2022 and the Saudi authorities forced him to delete his successful YouTube channel and he can no longer publish music.
