			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Randa <a href="http://arabicgenie.com/blog/2009/09/arabic-tattoo-faith-hope-love/comment-page-1#comment-367">asked</a> for the translation of &#8220;compassion&#8221; in Arabic.</p>
<p>There are quite a number of Arabic words that have the meaning of &#8220;compassion&#8221;, for example:<br />
<span class="arabic">الرأفة</span> (<em>ar-ra&#8217;fa</em>)<br />
<span class="arabic">الشفقة</span> (<em>ash-shafaqa</em>)<br />
<span class="arabic">الحنان</span> (<em>al-Hanaan</em>)</p>
<p>However, the most standard way of translating compassion is probably <span class="arabic">الرحمة</span> (<em>ar-raHma</em>). Below is this word in three different fonts:</p>
<div id="attachment_644" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 199px"><a href="http://arabicgenie.com/blog/arabic-tattoos"><img class="size-full wp-image-644 " title="&quot;compassion&quot; in Arabic" src="http://arabicgenie.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/compassion-in-arabic1.png" alt="&quot;compassion&quot; in Arabic" width="189" height="384" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">&quot;compassion&quot; in Arabic</p></div>
<p>As a side note, this word shares the same root as two words in the opening line of <a href="http://arabicgenie.com/blog/free-arabic-resources/the-quran">the Koran</a> (1st line of <em>al-faatiHa</em>):</p>
<p><span class="arabic">بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ</span></p>
<p>The word <span class="arabic">الرَّحْمَـٰن</span> (<em>ar-raHmaan</em>) is usually translated as &#8220;the beneficent&#8221;, sometimes as &#8220;the merciful&#8221;. In essence, however, it means &#8220;compassionate&#8221; too. This form is usually reserved as one of God&#8217;s 99 names in Islam.</p>
<p>The word <span class="arabic">الرَّحِيم</span> (<em>ar-raHeem</em>) also means &#8220;compassionate&#8221;. Unlike <span class="arabic">رحمـان</span> (<em>raHmaan</em>), <span class="arabic">رحيم</span> (<em>raHeem</em>) is in common usage.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Through <a href="http://www.atrissi.com/wordpress/?p=56">Tarek Atrissi&#8217;s excellent blog</a> I cam accross this piece of Arabic calligraphy here that says &#8220;love hate&#8221; in Arabic:</p>
<div id="attachment_634" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 464px"><a href="http://www.atrissi.com/wordpress/?p=56"><img src="http://arabicgenie.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/love-hate-callgraphy.jpg" alt="Love Hate Calligraphy" title="love-hate-calligraphy" width="454" height="303" class="size-full wp-image-634" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Love Hate Calligraphy</p></div>
<p>The design is written with ornamental decorations. What some might disregard as doodles underneath the writings actually consists of a repetition of exactly the same two words &#8211; &#8220;love hate&#8221;.</p>
<p>I really like this calligraphy and it inspired me to attempt my own design of the &#8220;love hate&#8221; dichotomy in Arabic. The result is this:</p>
<div id="attachment_636" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 336px"><img src="http://arabicgenie.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/love-hate-arabic.png" alt="Love-Hate Arabic Calligraphy Design" title="Love-Hate Arabic Calligraphy Design" width="326" height="241" class="size-full wp-image-636" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Love-Hate Arabic Calligraphy Design</p></div>
<p>The word for &#8220;hate&#8221; &#8211; <span class="arabic">الكراهية</span> &#8211; is flipped horizontally to indicate that it&#8217;s the flip-side of love &#8211; <span class="arabic">الحب</span>. The two words &#8220;cross swords&#8221; by crossing letters: the raa&#8217; of <span class="arabic">الكراهية</span> and the laam of <span class="arabic">الحب</span>, indicating the intertwined nature of the two emotions.</p>
