PUBLISHER'S NOTE
We have great pleasure in presenting to our
readers A Glossary of 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 tardid 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 jy has said,
.Apli J* jL iii Jy- JS
in

“He who suggsts to someone the doing of a good
deed deserves the same reward as that of 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 of the
Glorious Qur’an, and help us serve better. Amin.

FOREWORD
lA j Z i I C t j y J l i J l aJJ J u A J l
I d ! W od-e^ E lo
This is an Arabic-English glossary of 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 of any omissions so that they may be
included in the next edition of the book in sd ’Allah.
The need for such a glossary has long been felt as
it is wellnigh impossible for students of Arabic in
the early stages of their learning to use standard
Arabic dictionaries where they are sure to get lost in
the maze of innumerable derivatives of each word
and their meanings.
Readers must realize that this is a dictionary with
limited scope: only those meanings of 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.

Note oo the arrangement of entries
Words are arranged according to their roots which
are placed in round brackets, and are printed in this
font (^- -t>). Derivatives of each root are mentioned
under it without any apparent plan, and printed in
this font: 1_— Some derivatives which the
reader may not easily locate their roots have been
alphabetically placed in square brackets, and
‘ ^ ,
referred to their roots, c.g., [olj—J] see jj. Non
Arabic words also been placed alphabetically and in
square brackets. In these two categories the vocalic alif
(a) precedes the hamzah, e.g., OhLS’V precedes
NOUNS: Plural of every noun is mentioned
preceded by pi. Sound masculine plural is indicated
by this symbol: and sound feminine plural by this
symbol: @, and where the actual plural form Is
slightly different, both the symbol and the actual
plural form are given, e.g., Slij, pl@ (ollij).
If need be, the type of derivative is mentioned, e.g.,
LjjL* (,sink), i.e., o&U' (s/), i.e., p—'
- (#), J pLih _
vi

This symbol (!) is placed to indicate a j .—- jyj—^
only where the reader is likely to mistake it
for a Conversely, this symbol (!!) is placed
y
where the reader might mistake a to be a
