[quote]I was learning the "Revelation of the Qur'an" and found this written: <BLOCKQUOTE id=quote><font size=1 face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote> Farahi (d: 1930 AD) <hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size=2 id=quote> I just wanted to point out that AD means Anno Domini, which in Latin means Lord's year. I guess to mention Gregorian dates we should better use CE instead of AD, as CE means Christian Era. We are not supposed to believe that Jesus was the Lord, so we are not supposed to name a year AD... year of the Lord, cause it is after Jesus. AD is a merely Christian term. This is not meant to offend anybody, it's just a little suggestion ;) Assalamu alaykum, Thekra [/quote]
