It gives that foreign ghetto factor. The Arab websites have such weird spellings and they import it.

Salam `Aleykum,

It's supposedly a better way to write Arabic in English, I've seen a couple of styles already, not sure which one to adopt myself.

For example take a look at this Shia blog, read how he writes the word "Tasbih", he writes it like this "Tasbeeh":

Wa 'alaikumu as-salamu wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh

They might do it for the simple fact that "hadith", for example, is written with a long vowel in Arabic.

It is.

Probably to differentiate between Kasrah and Ya' ي.

Excactly. There is no distortion involved nor there is no need to be negative about the matter and view it as some Salafi evil.

I do this with a few words and I am no salafi.

My reason is so that I can make the word as phonetically correct.

for example the name Hamid. You can say it in two different ways, one stretching a 'a' sound and the other stretching the 'i' sound. when you add an extra 'a' or a double 'e' it makes it a whole lot easier to pronounce correctly.

Same with the word Hadith. Stretching the 'a' makes it into one word, and stretching the 'i' makes it into a different word.

like me. & like its mentioned its just for the ya & kasrah. why is it in Arabic the vowl is extended when you say masjidul haraam but when indo pak guy or someone with roots from there he says haram sharif without the lengthening.

why do you still see this as a salafi thing. it depends on where you from. do you know how we spell our arabic words here in south africa. this is for non indian south africans like me we the letter after Jeem we write it as Gaa & not haa. & this is much better because we wouldnt make the mistake of putting a haa (leter before hamzah) in a word like Hamd. so we do not say alhamdulillah we would say algamdulillah. unfortunitly many people say these arabic words the way they spelled. even muslims pronounce incorrectly due to transliteration. beautiful names are spoiled by this. names like Talha are now Tala, Hudhayfah is Huzayfa, Faathima is Fatma, the worst I heard is Muhammad Ali. all you hear is Momedli.

What about Zainud-Deen to Zinedine? a classic one i heard was Noorud-Deen to Norodin.

I remember a site once wrote Saheeh al-Bukhaareee (three E's). sometimes i think it is ott.

^ Yes, I was just noticing as well. So many 'salafi' threads today. Why the sudden interest I wonder?

Asalamu Alaika
Aren't you being a bit stereotypical by using salafi?

Some people think that it works better, and therefore they use their style to make it more correct.
