  • Hi :thomas

    My name is :hajer , I am from Libya
    I’ve seen many places of the world on TV screen and few that I’ve visited either for fun or/and business

    As you know when we travel we meet a lot of different cultures and people,

    I found in many places I’ve been to; that people stereotyped Islam (that's my religion) they prejudge Muslims from what they see in media incidents.

    Allow me to share with you here some information about Jesus Christ,

    Muslims believe in Jesus Christ (peace and blessings of (Allah = God) be upon Him as one of the mightiest messengers from (Allah=God),

    We believe he is born miraculously by the word of Allah without Father

    Like ADAM Been created without father nor mother,

    And Marry (maryam) is his mother the pious, pure female may Allah be pleased with her,

    In fact there is a chapter in Quraan titled Marry

    Let me quote here these verses:

    “BEHOLD! THE ANGELS SAID: O MARY! GOD HATH CHOSEN THEE AND PURIFIED THEE –

    CHOSEN THEE ABOVE THE WOMEN OF ALL NATIONS ”

    And this Verse About Jesus:

    “HE SHALL SPEAK TO THE PEOPLE IN CHILDHOOD AND IN MATURITY, AND SHALL BE (OF THE COMPANY) OF THE RIGHTEOUS.”

    If this is a Quiz asking you where these Divine verses come from the Bible Torah or elsewhere?

    THE Answer for your information it is from Quraan 3:45,46

    This shows how much we need to know about what others believe.

    You may visit this link below it’ll give you broad knowledge of Islam in Questions and Answers format ,

    Listen I am NOT Trying to convert YOU, but isn't it worth it for general

    Information to know about what other believes?

    And Allah granted you and me wisdom, brain, and heart to judge for ourselves?

    Needless to say if you have any comment, question, suggestion I'll be glad to share them with you.



    Okay if you found my introductory bothersome in any way please

    Forgive me,

    ِAny way I hope to hear from you sooner,

  • Hi Thomas,

    It certainly has been a while. Good to hear from you. I am well. Busy with work, but that's a good thing in today's economy.

    Cargo is material put on a ship, or plane. Freight and shipment are Synonyms for cargo, which are words that mean the same thing and can be substituted in conversation. A shipment however can also be the act of shipping or the quantity of cargo/freight.

    Yes, these terms do have a relationship with cars, ships, planes and any other mode of transportation.

    I hope I clarified your questions. You are most certainly on the right track.

    Smiles,
    Michelle

  • The words shipment, cargo and freight are synonyms, which means they often are used in place of each other. But they do actually have small differences in meaning.
    Shipment comes from the verb to ship which originally meant to transport something by means of a ship on the ocean or a large body of water. So if goods (products desired by people) were sent by ship they were a shipment. This term eventually became applied to goods sent by train, wagon, trucks, airplanes, etc even though they were not ships. So now the word shipment is a general term for goods that are sent to another place by any form of transportation to be sold somewhere else.
    The actual physical goods that are shipped are called cargo or freight. A shipment consists of an amount of cargo or freight that can be shipped at one time. Maybe your cargo or freight requires several shipments at different times or on several transportation devices. So the cargo or freight can be broken down into several shipments.
    Cargo comes from the Spanish word which means to load or put physical items on a form of transportation. It emphasizes that the physical goods had to be moved onto the ship, truck or plane. So it is the actual products being shipped as boxes or crates that had to be loaded. Over time the word cargo has been used more for larger vehicles like ships and airplanes. That is why goods transported by airplane or ship are placed in the cargo hold.
    Freight comes from the German language and emphasizes that goods are shipped for a fee or cost. It can actually mean the cost one pays for the shipment. What is the freight for shipping two hundred crates of English dictionaries? More money than I have. Because freight is associated with cost, it can also mean a cheaper method of shipping. You can ship by freight (slower or in large amounts) for a cheaper price. But for faster and smaller shipments you can ship by express for a more expensive rate. Over time, freight has taken the meaning of cargo that is shipped by truck or train. That is why a train that only transports goods is called a freight train.
    Will English speakers mix these words and use them interchangeably for each other? Yes, we will. You can send cargo by airplane or ship by using a freight rate instead of an express rate. And many times we will use any of these three words whenever we feel like it. There are no rigid rules when we speak English.
