Book Description

Essential Qur’anic Arabic Keywords Every Muslim Should Know is a compact 6x9 reference guide featuring over 400 key Arabic terms frequently found in the Qur’an and in the everyday life of a Muslim. Thoughtfully organised and beautifully designed, it serves as both a linguistic aid and a spiritual companion for anyone wishing to deepen their connection with the language of the Qur’an.

At nearly 470 pages long, this volume is designed as a lasting companion for students, teachers, and readers of all backgrounds who wish to engage with the Qur’an word by word. By exploring one term at a time, readers can begin to recognise familiar vocabulary in their daily prayers, gain confidence in reading Arabic, and develop a deeper appreciation for the beauty, rhythm, and unity of Qur’anic language.

Each page highlights a core Arabic term elegantly written in calligraphic Naskh script, accompanied by its phonetic transliteration, English translation, and a concise definition, along with plural or gender variations where relevant. To bring the word to life, each entry also includes a Qur’anic verse (āyah) or Prophetic Hadith featuring the term or one of its forms—complete with English translation and reference.
