Dictionary of Islamic Terms
Dictionary of Islamic Terms by Deeb Al-Khudrawi is a comprehensive English reference book published by Darussalam Publishers that serves as a bridge between Arabic Islamic terminology and English understanding. This dictionary was compiled to fill a long-standing gap: while many glossaries exist for general subjects, there was no detailed, explanatory dictionary focused specifically on Islamic terms used in the Qur’an, Sunnah, and classical literature. It provides clear definitions, usages, and contextual insights for Islamic vocabulary that are essential for accurate comprehension and translation of sacred texts and scholarly works.
720 pages. Hardcover, 17 × 24 cm. English language, two-colour print with structured entries.
-
Extensive term coverage: Offers comprehensive definitions of Islamic terminology spanning theology, jurisprudence, creed, worship, history, and culture, giving readers a solid lexical foundation for understanding religious concepts.
-
Arabic–English and English–Arabic utility: Functions as a bilingual reference, helping both native English speakers and students of Arabic to interpret and cross-reference terms accurately when reading the Qur’an, Sunnah, or scholarly works.
-
Context and usage: Goes beyond brief meanings by providing contextual information on usage within Islamic texts so readers grasp both literal meaning and conceptual nuance.
Best English reference dictionary for serious students, translators, researchers, and anyone seeking a deep understanding of Islamic terminology used in scripture and classical literature.
