sisters going to the hawza

[Mohammed666]

Salam, I am writing this for my friend who is soon joining hawza in Qom. He is 18 years and just completed his alevels. Before he joins the hawza he wanted to meet a sister that is also going to the hawza next semester (maby before or after) and he wanted to get married and start his studies. I am aware this is not a dating site, but it is the app with the largest community. If u want to know my friend and if u are interested..email me at myp3study@gmail.com (make sure the sister speaks fluent English)

Do you know in which situations one usually uses the combination 666?

This is common and general knowledge.

Salam, I have also heard that it's a devil thing..but I thought it was more of a made up story. If u want i will try my best to change it.

666 is not the number of the devil. In the early Christian communities, it was a way to refer to 'Nero' the Roman emperor and publicize his crimes against this community without naming him by name, otherwise they would be killed.

It has been used over time to refer to the devil, shaitan, etc, but this was not it's original meaning. Reference below. 

 

...the reader of John’s letter familiar with the Hebrew language could recognize that the Greek spelling of “Nero Caesar” transliterated into Hebrew equals 666. Moreover, the presence in some ancient manuscripts of a variation in which 666 is rendered 616 lends further credence to Nero as the intended referent.

That is true, however in the age we live in, no human says 666 and refers to Nero.

It is much like other words, nobody says terrorist and refers to white extremists.

Jazak Allah Khair, Abu Hadi.

People always confuse these things with what the mainstream drags their way. Just like how people believe that bending your middle and ring finger will make the "sign of the devil" when in-fact it has been used by Buddhists to EXPEL the devil (Karana Mudra) way before anyone used it to represent the devil.

Does the number 666 have any connection to Islam?

or is it just a Christian thing ?

[Abu Hadi]

It has no connection to Islam. Like I said above, was a way for the early Christian community to expose the crimes of Nero, the secular ruler of Rome, without using his actual name. From the point of view of Islam, it's just another number, like 665 or 667. But I think the OPs thread got derailed by this discussion.

There isn't a single post in this thread which deals with the OP's question.

You should delete all of the non-topic posts in this so that the question might actually get answered moving forward.
