“Please always remember it. Don't say “Mosque”.....say "Masjid". An
Islamic organization found the meaning of “Mosque " is " Mosquitoes". Don’t write “Mecca “Its means ‘house of wines’. Write "MAKKAH", and don’t write the name of Our Prophet (S.A.W) or Ur name in short as "MOHD", for it means ‘The dog with big mouth’. So write “MOHAMMAD "spread this around. Plz forward this message to as many as possible.”

Answer:-
3) The origin of the word mosque is not mosquito as some people have claimed. This can be checked on any online dictionary or lexicon. Instead, mosque comes from the Arabic word Masjid¸ <-- adsense -->which the Spaniards and French pronounced as mesqid. After going through a phase of different pronunciations, the word ended up as mosque.
As regards, Mecca we agree too, that it should be written 'Makkah' and not Mecca, but not because it means a place of wine. This is false. Mecca does not mean that at all. Mecca originates from the Arabic word Makka, but since the Westerners have now used the word Mecca for any place where people flock to in abundance, even casinos and businesses, (as people flock to Makkah for Hajj), hence we should avoid using the spelling ‘Mecca’.
The same applies to Mohd. Where this story about a dog with a big mouth originates, only Allah knows, but we should not abbreviate the Name of Our Rasool (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) in any way. Generally abbreviations are done out of laziness.
