Another thing a religious police office might ask is to perform prayer. In that case knowledge of the proper movements and order of doing things would be required. I'm trying to make the point that you'd be pretty much at the whim of some potentially very unpleasant and violent people with a lot of power, who don't much care about scholarly interpretations of Sharia or whatever - they're just looking for ways to be right in that instant. Hi from one Jonathan to another! | |

But using Arabic on a day-to-day basis is full of little phrases about God or Muhammad or even little verses from the Quran. Even Atheists use a lot of these, often without even thinking about their religious origins. But also, yes, I'd say all Muslims who're not recent converts will know some. At least the 1st Surah (al-Fatiha), which alone is 7 verses. And then usually some oldies-but-goldies like "God is with the patient" (inn-Allaha ma3a as-saabeereen). | |
