A word from the author: "There are many dictionaries concerning many fields of life, but we do not yet have an explanatory dictionary regarding Islamic terms. So I have tried to fill that gap with this dictionary and hopefully give readers a sufficient ground toward a better understanding of Islam."

The dictionary contains various aspects of Islam — Qur'anic words illustrated by verses, the terminology of hadith and fiqh, and the technical vocabulary of the Islamic sciences.

Why a General Arabic Dictionary Is Not Enough

Because Islamic terms carry technical meanings that a general dictionary does not record. Ghusl is not simply washing. Sunnah in a fiqh text does not mean what it means in a hadith text. Kufr has a range that no single English word covers.

A reader working with Islamic literature and a general dictionary will produce translations that are lexically defensible and technically wrong, which is worse than not knowing.

SubhanAllah! I have not seen a dictionary as extraordinarily marvelous as this one, Wallah! bcoz it is arranged in way that is very easy to follow and learn. Plus, this is the simplest way to polish up your vocabulary among fellow Muslims or Arabic speakers and look like a notable intelligent person. It also has narrations to follow up and authenticate the meanings and derivations of the words in reference to the Quran and Sunnah. For a person who is just learning the Arabic language, this is definitely helping me understand beyond my expectations. Example: dayah ila al-Islam - [one who invites people to Islam.] akhlasa lillahi dinahu -to worship Allah faithfully and sincerely abwabu al-jannah - gates of paradise abada l-abidin - forever and ever. This gets interesting Wallah! I love the fact that the words are not one- worded but rather synchronized in a way to make a short but complete meaningful sentence. Alhamdulillah for my money well-spent. shukran DarUsSalam for the great service. May Allah accept our duas Insha-Allah, ameen. aslm alkm wr wb. :-]]
