‘عَالِمٌ’ a scholar -asws cannot happen to be ignorant, ever, knower of a thing and ignorant of a thing’. Introduction: Some words are used in multiple meanings, confusion occurs when people are not careful with the selection of words in their speech. However, in religious matters, one has to be extra careful as spoiling of the Hereafter may result when attributing those titles and false status to others – which are reserved for Allah -azwj ’s Appointed Prophets -as and Imams -asws .

One has to think and use appropriate titles, as per the context and to realise who to relate with the title. For example the title ‘Al-Momin’ (المؤمن – The Provider of Security) Refers to Allah -azwj , being one of the Holy Names of Allah -azwj . When it comes after ‘Amir ul’ (i.e., Amir ul-Momineen) then it refers to Ali -asws Ibn Abi Talib -asws and when it comes as ‘Momin’ one can recognise quite well that it is addressed to devout follower/believer.

Similarly, ‘العليم’ ’Al-Alim’ [7] is one of the Names of Allah -azwj , meaning All-Knowing for the reference of our readers, we have added a Hadith narrating ninety-nine of Allah -azwj in Appendix I..

Therefore, one is able to identify who is referred to in the Arabic text, but in our general discussions we tend to mix-up words, sometimes in the way of exaggeration, i.e., in poetry and in speeches people frequently make use of those Elite titles that are reserved for Masomeen -asws , – may be not in literal meanings but in general terms. The same holds for swearing and joking. This leads to abstruseness in terms of interpretation of Holy Verses and Ahadith.
