Good pun, but i can't help myself:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%D8%A7%D8%B3%D9%84%D8%A7%D9%85_%D8%A2%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%AF#Urdu
اسلام اباد in urdu, literally translates to "Islamic area"
The اسلام (Isla:m) part comes from... the arabic word, duh lol
The اباد (a:ba:d) part comes from the PIE root *peh₂-, descending from middle/classical persian and then urdu.
The root just means "to protect, ward or shepherd" which leaves a lot of room for interpretation. The persian words mean thriving/populous (so does urdu).
There are also many derived (and recognized) words from it: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Indo-European/peh%E2%82%82-#Derived_terms Is pretty interesting to look at.
Do note it's not like i really know too much of what i'm talking about, i just love this stuff.
Fellow linguistics nerd

Sorry but you deserved it, cool facts tho
I got YDId out of YPTB 😔
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!
😊 Just glad i got to talk about it lol
I was totally going to ping you to come to the comments, glad to see you're already here!
Haha, i don't recall discussing too much about stuff like this when you were active on matrix :p Either way, glad to hear it :D
By the way, how's your hand now? Hope you're doing better now
We talked about your languages and where you're from. I remember stuff sometimes.
Thanks for asking- it's healing! Only a few more days before I can get the stitches out!
Eta after the fact; should make the couple of stupid long comments I've made look even more unhinged, given the hand injury.
That's really cool, thank you for sharing, especially the derived words from proto-indo-european, very interesting!
