Romans 11

Glossary Term
Apostle
HIGH: Rasuul is not a generic word in vernacular Somali usage; it functions almost as a proper title for Muhammad ('Rasuulka Ilaah').
ROM.11.13
-
Doctrine
Apostleship
Risk: readers may associate the concept with Rasuul, the specific Islamic title functioning almost as a proper name for Muhammad; this Language Package deliberately avoids that word for 'apostle' (see translation_memory.json).
