Hereunder is a list of Sino-Korean terms for the cultivation path of Islam/Submission (which is actually a description reflecting the soul's absolute devotion and submission to God alone; no ifs, ands or buts about that.). Thanks for reading!
Nota Bene: For the notes on the terms hadith and sunnah, here's this rationale for them; in a nutshell, hadith means a lot of things: narrations, sayings, words, speech, story, opinion, statement, utterance, incidence, discourse, account, tale, et cetera.
| Term | Hanja | Hangeul | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| God/Allah | 真主 | 진주 (jinju) | Homonymous with the Sino-Korean word for pearl: 眞珠 / 珍珠 |
| God/Allah | 上帝 | 상제 (sangje) | An alternative name for God. |
| Qur'an | 誦讀經 | 송독경 (songdokgyeong) | |
| Muslim | 服從者 | 복종자 (bokjongja) | Literally means "Submitter" in Arabic. |
| wudu | 小淨 | 소정 (sojeong) | See 5:6 for the Qur'anically valid wudu. (The Qur'an Inspector might not be available in the Middle East, sadly.) |
| ghusl | 大淨 | 대정 (daejeong) | |
| tayammum | 乾淨 | 건정 (geonjeong) | The original Chinese term 代淨 would be a homonym with 大淨, hence the term 乾淨. |
| takbir | 大贊辭 | 대찬사 (daechansa) | The takbir is the proclamation اللّٰهُ أَكْبَر (allāhu ʔakbar). |
| adhan | 喚禮 | 환례 (hwallye) | The adhan consists, originally, of simply four takbirs followed by the statement لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ (lā ʔilāha ʔillā llāhu) in Arabic. |
| fajr | 晨禮 | 신례 (sillye) | Dawn Prayer |
| ẓuhr | 晌禮 | 상례 (sangnye) | Noon Prayer |
| ʿaṣr | 晡禮 | 포례 (porye) | Afternoon Prayer |
| maghrib | 昏禮 | 혼례 (hollye) | Sunset Prayer |
| ʿišāʾ | 宵禮 | 소례 (sorye) | Night Prayer |
| masjid | 禮拜寺 | 례배사 (ryebaesa) | Masjid is another word for mosque. |
| halal | 清真 | 청진 (cheongjin) | |
| Sacred Month | 聖月 | 성월 (seong'wol) | A careful study of the Quran reveals that the Sacred Months should be Zul-Hijjah, Muharram, Safar, and Rabi I (12th, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd months). Per some verses, for example, it wouldn't make sense to have two separate periods, one consisting of a single month and the other consisting of three months, where wronging souls by fighting is prohibited. |
| hadith | 聖訓 | 성훈 (seonghun) | As in "The hadith of God and the hadith of man"; in the case of the latter, only the second character ought to be used. |
| sunnah | 聖行 | 성행 (seonghaeng) | As in "the sunnah of God" instead of anything else; in the case of the latter, only the second character ought to be used. |
| Five Pillars | 五功 | 오공 (ogong) | |
| Shahada | 證信 | 증신 (jeungsin) | Refers to the profession of faith |
| Salah | 禮拜 | 례배 (ryebae) | |
| Sawm | 齋戒 | 재계 (jaegye) | |
| Zakat | 天課 | 천과 (cheon'gwa) | |
| Hajj | 朝覲 | 조근 (jogeun) | |
| Shahada | 作證言 | 작증언 (jakjeung'eon) | Refers to the testimony لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ (lā ʔilāha ʔillā llāhu waḥdahu lā šarīka lahu) |
| Shahada | 作證詞 | 작증사 (jakjeungsa) | Ibid. |
