Fancruft? Patent nonsense?

Ah. Heh. Wow, I feel like a hopeless jackass now for asking that. Really ought to have known better, what with the vexillology hobby and all.

[edit] Thul fiqar?
I'm thinking of removing the spelling thul fiqar, because I think the 'th' may be a mistake for 'dh'. Prater 15:40, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] No given names, please.
I've removed mentions of personalities bearing the name Zulfiqar. As noted with the edit, this is becoming a self-glorifying pamphlet... just having similar names, or having being named after the sword should not warrant inclusion, regardless of credintials.
[edit] ذوالفقار is the correct spelling
The correct Arabic spelling is ذوالفقار . It begins with "Dhaal" ذ and not "Zaay" ز. Most people think it begins with ز becuase a popular nickname "Zulfi" is often written with ز and not ذ, thus confusing most. ذ is the correct letter. Another common similar word beginning with ذ is the Quranic name for Alexander the Great, called Dhul'Qarnain ( ذوالقرنين )
Total letters are 8
ذ + و + ا + ل + ف + ق + ا + ر
There is always a silent ا "alef" before ل "laam".
[edit] what happened to it?
taken as booty at Karbala? lost before it became a legendary icon? stolen by mongols? what are the traditions? —Charles P._(Mirv) 01:45, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
lost in history i guess.....would be crazy cool to see it.
This is a very good question, indeed. Because in the article it seems as if it was destroyed, lost or whatever, but at the end of this video [1] you can see it in a museum... At least they claim it is Zulfiqar... But maybe just a replica... Don´t know...
As I understand, though I may be incorrect regarding this, the Shi'i view is that Dhul Fiqar is currently with Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi (AS).
[edit] Zulfiqar
Is it in any of the museums of the world?
[edit] Swastika?
Why is there a flag with a swastika on the right hand border of this page? Could someone remove that?
[edit] lol!
- The sword provides a great wind sound as if it slices the air. The masters of this sword can block attacks and leave the opponent weaponless with its forked point easily. Its double blood grooves have an dissuading effect on the opponent from facing its deadly fast attack.

[edit] Excalibur?
Personally I wouldn't compare a sword from a fictional tale about a king who needed some additional drinkware for his court to the sword of the man who half the population of the world's largest religion consider the heir of Mohammed the Prophet. If people disagree, I propose adding Sting from Lord of the Rings as well. Just a thought. Mzyxptlk 02:20, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
