Islamic Daily Glossary

Bismillah
Rabbi zidnee Ilman
"My Lord! Increase me in my knowledge"

This book consists of notable concepts that are derived from both Islamic and Arab tradition, which are expressed as words in the Arabic language. The main purpose of this book is to disambiguate multiple spellings, to make note of spellings no longer in use for these concepts, to define the concept in one or two lines, to make it easy for one to find and pin down specific concepts, and to provide a guide to unique concepts of Islam all in one place. Separating concepts in Islam from concepts specific to Arab culture, or from the language itself, can be difficult. Many Arabic concepts have an Arabic secular meaning as well as an Islamic meaning.

This book contains transliterations of Arabic terms and phrases; Most items in this book also contain their actual Arabic spelling.
