The Encyclopaedic Cross Reference Dictionary Of The Quran Arabic English A First Bilingual Quranic Dictionary Mixing The Traditional Arabic Root System And The Non Arabic Alphabetical Order

This Arabic-English Dictionary of the Quran is the first of its kind ever, since no dictionary on earth has adopted mixing the two systems . As for authoritative Arabic-Arabic Quranic Dictionaries, there is none that deals with "bare" words as such; rather they deal with alfaz lit. "utterances". As for mixing the two systems, the Dictionary has no rival even among the purely linguistic ones or rather the only one, namely, al-wasit. As for other bilingual Arabic-English dictionaries of the Quran, the most famous one is that by the orientalist Penrice of 1873 which is a small dictionary.It is very venemous and often ridicules the Muslim commentators of the Quran.It must be abandoned.This bilingual Dictionary, then, can be of great help to English-speaking readers who are after an accurate meaning of Quranic words. Readers do not need for the first time in the history of Arabic lexicography to think of the root of the Arabic word though this very root system is strictly adopted in the Dictionary.

The Encyclopaedic Cross-Reference Dictionary of the Quran: Arabic-Arabic-English By: Gatie Niema Al-Hilfy This Arabic - English Dictionary of the Quran is the first of its kind ever, since no dictionary on Earth has adopted mixing the two systems, namely, the traditional Arabic root system and the non-Arabic alphabetical order . As for authoritative monolingual Arabic-Arabic Quranic Dictionaries, there is none that deals with "bare" words as such; rather they deal with alfaz lit. "utterances", i.e derivatives . As for mixing the two systems, the Dictionary has no rival even among the purely linguistic ones or rather the only one, namely, Al-Wasit. As for other bilingual Arabic-English dictionaries of the Quran, the most famous one is that by the orientalist Penrice of 1873 which is a small and biased dictionary. The second one is that by Al-Nadawi, an Indian Muslim Scholar. Both dictionaries are Arabic-English with no "third explanatory extra Arabic language ". Furthermore, none is cross-referenced .This Arabic-Arabic- English Dictionary can be, therefore, of great help to English -speaking readers as well as Arabic-speaking ones who do not need from now onwards, for the first time in the history of Arabic lexicography, to think of the root of the Arabic word though this very root system is strictly adopted in the whole Dictionary. Most important for the accuracy of meaning is that when a word has more than one meaning, which is very common in the Holy Qur'an, each new meaning is supported by one Quranic verse at least. There are almost 2700 Quranic verses, which is almost 43% of the whole verses of the Quran, in an accurate support of the Qur'anic meaning.This is extraordinary. Another outstanding feature is annexing the derivatives to each lexical entry up to four: a process which makes of the dictionary a real comprehensive indexed one at the same time.

This trilingual Arabic Dictionary of the Quran is the first of its kind ever, since no dictionary on earth has adopted mixing the two systems.Therefore,this Dictionary represents a real revolution as far as simplifying looking up the Quranic word is concerned . As for authoritative Arabic-Arabic Quranic Dictionaries, there is none that deals with "bare" words ; rather they deal with alfaz lit. "utterances".As for other only bilingual Arabic-English dictionaries of the Quran, the most famous one is that by the orientalist Penrice of 1873. Despite its small size, its author on different occasions ridicules and challenges the way Muslim scholars interpret the Quran . It is highly venomous and it must be abandoned as far as true knowledge on Islam and the Quran is concerned . In the future the author of this trilingual Dictionary may provide pages from Penrice's Dictionary supporting this fact. In brief , this trilingual Dictionary has no rival on earth and it may remain so for decades if not centuries

This book discusses a highly-debated research topic regarding the history of the Arabic language. It investigates exhaustively the ancient roots of Classical Arabic through detailed tracings and readings of selected ancient inscriptions from the Northern and Southern Arabian Peninsula. Specifically, this book provides detailed readings of important Nabataean, Musnad, and Akkadian inscriptions, including the Namarah inscription and the Epic of Gilgamesh. In his book, the author, a known Arabic type designer and independent scholar, provides clear indisputable transcriptional material evidence indicating Classical Arabic was utilized in major population centers of the greater Arabian Peninsula, many centuries before Islam. He presents for the first time a new clear reading of Classical Arabic poetry verses written in the Nabataean script and dated to the first century CE. Furthermore, he offers for the first time a clear detailed Classical Arabic reading of a sample text from two ancient editions of the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, separated by more than1000 years. Throughout his readings, the author provides verifiable evidence from major historical Arabic etymological dictionaries, dated many centuries ago. The abundant of in-depth analysis, images, and detailed original tables in this book makes it a very suitable reference for both scholars and students in academic and research institutions, and for independent learners.
