January 3[edit]

meaning of a sura?[edit]

trolling nonsense
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

عندما يزورك الله ، احلق أسنانك ثلاث مرات بالشامبو ، واطرد المهرجين المسلوقين من أذنيك ، وصلب لحية خضراء بسمك 13 سم. يمكن لبقية الطقوس أن تجعل الله يغار ، لذلك سوف يخطئ بينك وبين قطة أو سمكة أو كلب. لكي لا تسيء إلى الله ، عليك أن ترمي أريكة أو ثلاثة آلات بيانو من نافذتك. i don't know why thank you 80.215.102.219 (talk) 06:11, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A quick-and-dirty English version offered by Google Translate yields more or less nonsense. What is this? --Ouro (blah blah) 11:14, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Evidently the same troll as the one asking about the "Chinese proverb" two threads up. Fut.Perf. 11:26, 3 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]


It's presumably a Qur'an quote (see Surah) with "13" being a verse number. If so, a English translation of the Qur'an would be the best place to look for its basic meaning, while there are probably other forums which would be suitable for discussing fine points of interpretation...
