Talk:Zulfiqar

message: The correct Arabic spelling is ذوالفقار . It begins with "Dhaal" ذ and not "Zaay" ز.  Most people think it begins with ز becuase a popular nickname "Zulfi" is often written with ز and not ذ, thus confusing most. ذ is the correct letter.  Another common similar word beginning with ذ is the Quranic name for Alexander the Great, called Dhul'Qarnain ( ذوالقرنين )
Total letters are 8
 ذ + و + ا + ل + ف + ق + ا + ر
There is always a silent ا "alef" before ل "laam".
I agree, Thulfiqar/Dhulfiqar are better spellings that reflect the original Arabic name.  "Zulfiqar" must have reached English through Persians who pronounce (ذ) as (ز).

message: : In Arabic the name is commonly transliterated as Zulfiqar, Thulfeqar, Dhulfiqar, Zoulfikar, Zulfeqhar etc.
I am amazed to learn that in Arabic the name is transliterated at all, let alone to Latin letters. —Tamfang (talk) 19:24, 23 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  transliteration 

message: The poem reads
Quwat-e-Khuda,
and translated correctly as
Might by the most high (God),
but the arabic script does not indicate the word Quwat but rather Qudrat, which also means strength, and the question is who had the correct word originally, translator or transliterator.

message: I don't know if the use of the word Talisman is appropriate in the way it is being used here. While some people may use it as such I believe most people who wear the Zulfiqar on an necklace or elsewhere are not using it as a "Talisman". Islamic theology would refute such uses. If it has to be included I think it should be stated somewhere saying something like "some may wear the Zulfiqar as a talisman".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pitts.nordera (talk • contribs) 16:28, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
