PUBLISHER'S N O T E

We have great pleasure in presenting to our


readers A Glossary o f Words used in Burns al~
Lughah al-Arabiyyah by Dr V.Abdur Rahim. This
is the latest addition to the series of books he has
written as supplements to his well-known reader
Durus al-Lughah al-Arabiyyah li-Ghair al-Ndiiqina
bihd which is now being used as a textbook all over
the world.
The need for an exhaustive glossary of all the
words used in all parts of this book has long been
felt by the users of this reader everywhere. The
credit for the preparation of this useful book must go
to Br. Asif Meherali of Toronto, Canada, who not
only suggested to the author the desirability of
compiling such a glossary, but also constantly
reminded him, and once he had commenced the task,
kept track of its progress day by day. May Allah
subhdna.hu wa ta rdid amply reward both the author,
and Br. Asif, for without his unfailing interest in the
project, and his constant encouragement to the
author, the task would not have been completed in
time. The Prophet j y has said,

He who suggsts to someone the doing o f a good
deed deserves the same reward as that o f the one
who actually executes it^ \
The book is now in your hands, and we are sure
that you will find it as useful and helpful as you
expected it to be.
May Allah subhdnahu wa ta'dla accept our
humble endeavours to serve the language o f the
Glorious Quran, and help us serve better. Amin.

FOREWORD

lA jZ iI C tjy J liJ l a JJ Ju A Jl

I d ! W o d -e ^ E l o

This is an Arabic-English glossary o f words used


in my book Durus al-Lughah al-Arabiyyah. I have
done my best to collect all the words, but it is quite
possible that some words might have escaped my
notice. Readers arc requested to notify me care of
the publisher o f any omissions so that they may be
included in the next edition o f the book in sd Allah.
The need for such a glossary has long been felt as
it is wellnigh impossible for students o f Arabic in
the early stages of their learning to use standard
Arabic dictionaries where they are sure to get lost in
the maze o f innumerable derivatives o f each word
and their meanings.
Readers must realize that this is a dictionary with
limited scope: only those meanings o f a word have
been listed here which it has in the book.
It is earnestly hoped that readers will be benefited
from this humble effort in sd Allah.
