Question

The Great Farting: The Importance of Language

Answer


As salaamu alaykum

tell your …. to shape up their English translations.  some of their stuff is quite entertaining, actually.

How to Offer the Salah Correctly, by Maulana Thanvi, translates hadath as "farting" and janaba as "the great farting."

pg. 63

"In order to get pure from the great farting a bath is essential.  It is caused due to four reasons."

pg. 74

"If a disbeliever embraces Islam and while in the state of disbelief, a great farting occurred to him."

sounds kind of transcendental and profound.  sometimes the great farting can just occur to a man.
