I guess the distinction is: Jesus is the prophet who lived in the past. Christ is the Messiah, the one who is expected to return at the end of days. Is that correct?

Yeah, western part of Africa is generally referred to as the Maghreb.

Mashriq (east in Arabic) comes from a root meaning “to shine” or “to rise,” referring to where the sun rises. Maghrib (west in Arabic) refers to where the sun sets. So it also means that from where the sun rises to where it sets, Allah is everywhere.

Yes, it literally means “from Rum.” But, during both the Seljuk and Ottoman periods, Anatolia was widely referred to as Rum. So when someone was described as Rumi in those times, it did not necessarily mean they were ethnically Rum/Greek. More commonly, it simply meant a person from Rum, that is from Anatolia.

Nice nice 👌

It was delicious
