Isn't this an Arabic term, used by Muslims? 'Islamic' isn't a language. --WOVcenter 01:10, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

The language is Arabic, but the idea is uniquely Islamic. It's like, "The Trinity" is an English term, but it is a Christian term in that it almost always refers to the Trinity of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. --Hojimachong^talk 01:11, 13 March 2007 (EDT)

Correct, but Arabic is mentioned nowhere in the article. I merely think it should be mentioned as at least being in Arabic. I just think it's more precise. Without it, it seems to conflate arabic and islam, two things which are not synonyms.--WOVcenter 01:25, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
