Majlis (English spelling)

Japanese: マジュリス(英語表記)majlis
Majlis (English spelling)
In Islamic countries, this is an Arabic word for a meeting place, salon, or assembly. It is a derivative of the verb jalasa, which means "to sit" or "to participate (in a meeting)." It appears to have been used in general as a meeting place even before Islam, and the plural form majālis appears only once in the Quran to mean a meeting of Muhammad. In the Islamic period and early Umayyad dynasty, within the military towns (Misr) where Arab warriors gathered by tribe, majlis were set up as meeting places in each appropriate residential area of ​​each tribe.

Japanese:
イスラム諸国で,集会所,サロン,議会などを表すアラビア語。〈座る〉〈(集会に)参加する〉を意味する動詞jalasaの派生語。イスラム以前から,一般に集会の意味で用いられたらしく,コーランでも複数形のmajālisがムハンマドの集会の意味で1回だけ出る。 イスラム期に入ってウマイヤ朝初期,アラブの戦士たちが部族ごとに集住した軍営都市(ミスル)内では,その部族の中でのしかるべき居住区ごとに集会所としてのマジュリスが設けられていた。
