BF says good luck to her, too.

He had hydrocephalus as a kid and has two "lumps" (I say they're divots) and scars on the top of his head where there were drains put in his skull when he was a baby. He says he hopes her lumps end up being as cute as his are.

And Cyn, maybe it's me, but I can't see where either of those two cute kids are mis-formed.

The first one was taken care of, the second one is the one that has the different shape in the face.

tnspurs, good luck tomorrow. Prayers for sure!
 
Cynthia I can't see that either - it's because you KNOW it's there.

Tnspursfan - Maddy has a huge fan base here - we all wish her the very best

My apologies, Subhanalah, I thought this quote came from you, but of course, I should have known better since it said God and not Allah (actually it was the mental image from the description that I remembered most.) The only way I found it was by searching on "sun dog!" That's the second time lately that I have mixed up my Old Folks friends. I must be getting dementia........

A lot of Muslims use the term "God" when speaking with non-Muslims because of the confusion around the name of God. Arab Christians, Jews, and Muslims all refer to God as Allah (SWT) in Arabic since it is essentially the Arabic word for God, a cognate of the Hebrew Elohim.

According to Wikipedia, it is used mainly by Muslims to refer to God in Islam,] but it has also been used by Arab Christians since pre-Islamic times. It is also often, albeit not exclusively, used by Bábists, Bahá'ís, Indonesian and Maltese Christians, and Mizrahi Jews

I was just really confused! I didn't recall ever saying that God would be represented by any image. I thought I had said something I hadn't intended, and wanted to clarify if I had, lol.


It definitely lead to some good information being put out there though :)

And when talking here, I say "God" and not Allah (swt) because I don't want someone to report me for breaking the rules.

Personally I prefer the word Allah (swt) over "God" since it is a word that cannot be made plural (gods, goddesses) and is gender neutral. However, one must utilize the correct words for the audience involved.

It shouldn't be this way, but many people cringe at the term "Allah".

Side note: swt is short script for subhanahuwata'allah which roughly translates to "The Exalted and Glorious One"
