Hi. I asked an Arabic-speaking friend (Gulf) if he could help me write the name "Hussein" in Arabic. He wrote it as shown above, but isn't that Hossny? Is it the exact same name? He told me that since it was spelled Hussein instead of Hussain, he transliterated it as Hossny. I'm confused now, so any help would be appreciated. Is the term above the appropriate way to write Hussein? Thanks for your help.
