This booklet is prepared to give at least some help in fulfilling the abovementioned objectives. Please keep the following points in mind (in
addition to those listed on the back cover) while studying this booklet:
1. When there are more than one distinctly different meanings of a word,
a semicolon is placed between the two meanings. For similar
meanings, a comma is placed between the meanings. For example:
shows the percent of the total Qur'anic words that you have learnt so
far, if you have memorized the meanings the words till that page.
4. In almost every case, the words are arranged alphabetically to make
the search easy.
5. The word forms related to dual number and feminine gender are used
sparingly in the Holy Qur'an. Therefore, these forms may be given
less emphasis in the beginning stages.
6. A star (*) is placed next to selected verbs. All the verbal forms of such
verbs are provided in detail in a separate booklet, "Some Important
Verbs Used in the Holy Qur'an."
7. For almost every verb type, samples of the وف
forms (active
voice) are provided in the first line those of the ل
forms (passive
voice) in the last.
8. Just like in any language, some verbs and nouns of action are always
followed by a preposition. For example, believe in: . َ َ ب
ِ
However, in some cases, a change in preposition may change the
meanings too. for example, get; get in; get at; get by, get off, get on,
etc. A list of some important verbs along with changing prepositions
is provided on page no. 34.

Important References
اظ
All praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings of Allah be upon his
Prophet, Muhammad. Allah says very explicitly in His Book, " (This is) a
Book (the Qur'an) which We have sent down to you, full of blessings that
they may ponder over its verses, and that men of understanding may
remember [38:29]." If we don't understand the Book, how can we ponder
on its verses! The Prophet of Allah, Muhammad, pbuh, said, "The best
among you are those who have learnt the Qur'an and teach it (to others)"
[Bukhari].

(Classified word lists
for easy memorization)
1. The words given in this booklet account for 82.6% (64282) of the total
words (approx. 77800) of the Holy Qur'an.
2. The words listed in the first six pages occur very frequently. Some of
them occur in combination with each other. They constitute a
whopping 41.5% (32263) of the total words.
3. The number next to the noun (pages 7-14) or the verb (pages 15-33)
shows the number of times that noun or the verb (in its various forms)
has occurred in the Holy Qur'an.
4. For each verb, the past tense, the imperfect tense, the imperative, the
active participle and the verbal noun are provided. It is assumed that
based on this information, you can reproduce the whole verb table.
Sample tables are provided at the end of this booklet.
5. For each word, the most common meanings are given. Some words
may have other meanings too, depending upon their context.
However, the number of such words is very small.
