Talk:mumina

This is not the only meaning to this term.

In Islam it refers to two sections of the Quran. It means Believers or Believer. In the Quran, it relates to the time when Mosses went to visit Pharaoh. It tells of How Pharaoh Call Mosses a liar. And How Pharaoh is punished for his arrogance. One reason this passage is important is because it retells a part of the Jewish Narrative to the Arabs. It can be seen as a bridge of understanding and respect between Muslims and Jews.

Since it implies that the Torah and Commandments are holy.

It urges the practice of believing in ONE Supreme GOD. — This comment was unsigned.

Per OTRS Ticket:2010120410013213 a user challenges the word "mumina" as being correct. I have no Finnish dictionary to hand and the top references all seem to be Wiktionary and other wikis, I am not seeing an authoritative source for this definition. Please check.

• We also have no evidence that the challenger speaks Finnish. He may be confusing it with an Arabic word that would have this spelling in English. SemperBlotto 22:12, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

I can find a Finnish-English translation dictionary on Google Books that defines "mumina" as "mumbling, mutterng; mumble, mutter": book. — Beobach 22:38, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

There are some hits in Finnish Wikisource, none of which seem to concern Islam. e.g. "Oli kohina outo, oli kuiskutus kumma, oli nauru ja mumina, huokaus ja humina..." which Google translates as "Was a strange noise was kuiskutus both, was the laughter and the murmur, sigh, and sigh,". Looks OK to me. SemperBlotto 22:45, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

I've added a quotation from Google books to the entry, and taken a stab at translating it. — Beobach 23:26, 4 December 2010 (UTC)

Mumina is action noun of the verb (deprecated template usage) mumista. Added etymology to the entry.--Hekaheka 07:12, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

I strike this as kept on the basis of the citation and the input of a reliable Finnish-speaking editor. — Beobach 23:36, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
