Book Description
The Qur'an is the living source of all Islamic teaching, and is of singular importance to those interested in Islam and the study of religions. Despite this, there exists a long-felt lack of research tools for English first-language speakers who wish to access the Qur'an in the original Arabic. The "Dictionary of Qur'anic Usage" is the first comprehensive, fully-researched and contextualised Arabic-English dictionary of Qur'anic usage, compiled in accordance with modern lexicographical methods by scholars who have a lifelong immersion in Qur'anic Studies. Based on Classical Arabic dictionaries and Qur'an commentaries, this work also emphasises the role of context in determining the meaning-scatter of each vocabulary item. Illustrative examples from Qur'anic verses are provided in support of the definitions given for each context in which a particular word occurs, with cross-references to other usages. Frequently occurring grammatical particles are likewise thoroughly explained, insofar as they are used in conveying various nuances of meaning in the text.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
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. About the Author The author was born at Al-M'ayal, Kahla, Missan Provincein, Iraq in 1950. He obtained a B.A. degree in English from Basrah University in Iraq in 1971 and an M.A. degree in Linguistics from Cairo University in 1981. He taught at Ghana University, Department of Modern Languages, Arabic Section, from 1983 to 1996 and was promoted Senior Lecturer at the University of Ghana in 1992. He applied for the grade of Associate Professor from the University of Ghana in 1995 and taught at Libyan, Jordanian, and Iraqi universities. Some of the author's other publications in English and Arabic include: The Metres of Arabic Poetry and the Search for a Universal Metrical System: A first attempt of its kind correcting the traditional Arabist approach and opening prospects for a universal metrical theory in the light of the theory of Arabic metrics (Legon, 1988) The English Translations of the Quran: Consistency and Closeness to the Original Arabic Text (Legon, 1992) The Concise Dictionary of the Quran: Arabic-English (Jordan, 2000) The Encyclopaedic Cross-reference Dictionary of the Quran Arabic Arabic English: A First Bilingual Quranic Dictionary Mixing the Traditional Arabic Root System and the Non-Arabic Alphabetical Order and Attaching Derivatives to their Lexical Entries Arabic Prosody without Ambiguity (in Arabic) العروض بلا غموض (Iraq, 2008)

Book Description
Perhaps the best Quran English translation. It is clear, easy to read, and very faithful to the Arabic original. It closely follows the Arabic text, and often reminds the reader of the Arabic original. It uses today's English language, and today's English vocabulary, thus it is easy to read and understand. The flow is smooth, the sentence structure is simple, the meaning is clear. This Quran translation has no interpretations, no footnotes, and no explanations. It is a pure translation of the Quran, from Arabic to English, and it does not try to emphasize any school of thought. The text purely and accurately translates the Holy Quran, from Arabic, into contemporary English. It was translated by a Muslim, who saw firsthand the miracles inside the Quran. His native language is Arabic; his everyday language is American English. For 15 years, he studied the Quran. For many years, he translated speech between his mother and his wife. For a living, he develops quality software. This Quran translation is available in two editions. This edition (A) uses the word "Allah" to refer to the Creator. Edition (B) uses the word "God". Quran Sura 91. The Sun. ash-Shams. In the name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful. 1. By the sun and its radiance. 2. And the moon as it follows it. 3. And the day as it reveals it. 4. And the night as it conceals it. 5. And the sky and He who built it. 6. And the earth and He who spread it. 7. And the soul and He who proportioned it. 8. And inspired it with its wickedness and its righteousness. 9. Successful is he who purifies it. 10. Failing is he who corrupts it. 11. Thamood denied in its pride. 12. When it followed its most wicked. 13. The messenger of Allah said to them, "This is the she-camel of Allah, so let her drink." 14. But they called him a liar, and hamstrung her. So their Lord crushed them for their sin, and leveled it. 15. And He does not fear its sequel. The Quran is the last Book from the Creator. It contains guidance, mercy, and healing. The Quran is a blessing, within reach.
