			<description><![CDATA[Numbers should/cannot be replaced with the names, Ayaths, dua or what so ever. how pleasent would one feel if he/she would be called 303, 483... some even think writing the name of Allah, ayaths or so on, is not respectful & so numbers suffice the purpose...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I recently got a message with the the letters AOA. I could not figure out what they meant until I asked my teen age daughter. She told me it means Salam Alaikum. For me it looked like she way telling me(a yo hey) or using some kind of slang term. I do agree with the writer that we should type out these words. We give or religion and especially those terms much more respect, the respect they deserve.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Assalaam Alaikum! In complete agreement with your article that these abbreviations shouldn't be used and thus hold no significance. The same applies for the usage of 786 and it's usage should be discouraged to the fullest. However, there is one slight correction which I think should be made in the article. The usage of 786 wasn't an invention of kafirs. This was indeed started by some Muslims of Persian/urdu origin as a way of digitization of various words and sentences. Various letters in Persian and Urdu were assigned some numbers and accordingly the sentences or words were transformed into numeric codes and hence, the Muslims of the subcontinent started using it even for the pious words of Bismillah Arrahmaan Arraheem. However, this holds no significance and should be discouraged. JazakAllah for the article.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Editor: Yes. That is where the Muslims in India (and Pakistan) got from to start with. Nothing to do with "Bismillah" or Islam. Just plain old "shirk". But so many people just go by their "feelings", "opinions" and "thinking". Allah Subhannah wa Ta'ala give hediya to all of us, ameen.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Editor: Actually, it doesn't matter what we "feel" or "think" or "opinion" for things related to worship in Islam. The scholars have offered us proof from Quran & sunnah. Isn't that enough? I really fear Allah when it comes to playing with words in Islam, because I have seen what it does over the centuries to Christianity and Judaism. Best to fear Allah and spell the words like our scholars say, inshallah.]]></description>
