Al-ithm Meaning – “Gunnah” Or “Haq Talfi”
Discussion 1749 • Reply 1749
Thanks for sharing this. It’s quite a strange Arabic dictionary tho. However, the confusion remains intact as what a sin is and why it is not sin over here but termed as “haq-talafi”. I saw another discussion which tries to answer this that, when al-ithm is used alone it means sin however, when it is used with other kinds of sins (such as fawahish, bagheee, shirk) it takes the meanings of “haq-talafi”. I am unable to comprehend this as I could not relate this with any example in Urdu or English word in which a word takes a different meaning when used with some other words. It is not the case where a word is used as a metaphor rather a whole different meaning is being implied. @UmerQureshi would you be able to help with this, maybe a similar example from Urdu/English? I saw you recommending the video of Ghamidi shb and other resources in a similar discussion however, there is still confusion in understanding it without the specific example. Thank you!
From what I know of these videos a specific reference is not provided to mu’jams. Do you have a reference for that?
