Zani زاني and zania زانية in Arabic (and perhaps Hebrew too) are an adjective (descriptive word) for a man and a woman simultaneously. This adjective comes from the verb zana (past) and yazna (present), zi'na (noun), 'zani (the man who is a fornicator), 'zania (a woman who is a fornicator), zanoon (a group of fornicators), zoonat (as previous). Thus, in the dictionary, it means fornicate outside marriage. Therefore zani and zania both mean promiscuous, adulterous man or woman. Zania is an adulterous woman who has no honour and no values. She is promiscuous and ungodly. This adjective is not used as a name in the Middle east because it is an insult. However, it is often mistaken with the name Zin (handsome) and Zina (or Zeena) which means beautiful. The two words pronounce very differently indeed.
These adjectives were mentioned tens of times in the Quran, especially in Sourat Al-Nur and Al-Furkan.

Surat Al-Nur (24) Ayat 3: The male adulterous (zani) will only make love to a female adulterous (zania) or a non-believer and vice versa, and this was forbidden for believers.
الزَّانِي لَا يَنْكِحُ إِلَّا زَانِيَةً أَوْ مُشْرِكَةً وَالزَّانِيَةُ لَا يَنْكِحُهَا إِلَّا زَانٍ أَوْ مُشْرِكٌ ۚ وَحُرِّمَ ذَٰلِكَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Get the Zania mug.by niggerboy July 9, 2007
Get the zangi nigger mug.Zanism is “act-ually” a religion formed in the early ‘90’s as an attempt to escape the tyranny of sanity without falling into the prison of insanity. Zanism rejects the sanity/insanity dichotomy and embraces “zanity” in its stead. Zanism is not a religion of beliefs. Zanists believe in disbelief.
While zanism has no beliefs, it does have several tentative tenets.
1. On Belief: If you believe in zanism, you are not a zanist.
2. On Earth: Treat the Earth as if you depend upon it.
3. On Salvation: Salvation is not guaranteed.
4. On God: If there is a god, you are here to amuse.
5. On Violence: We acknowledge that non-violence takes astonishing guts.
6. On Love: Just do it.
7. On Individuality: Dance dust dance!!
8. On Nonsense: Sense makes no sense and no sense makes sense.
9. On Hamlet: It’s a play on words.
10. On Hope: Refer to love.
