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.
