Superb for the price - Rated
It contains a word index for fast look up of a word and its root. The actual entry for each root contains meanings taken from several Classical Arabic lexicons, grammar information and how many times that root occurs. The only weaknesses are there is no concordance (i.e. a list of verses where that word occurs) and the Classical Arabic meanings listed are not exhaustive enough for some entries.
Project Root List is similar in content to this book. If you need an Arabic-English lexicon, Lane's Lexicon is superb and its available online now.
amazing book!! - Rated
have never seen the likes of it.
not only does it give the word you are looking for, but also give the root of the word, where it came from. and also other related words. The arabic language is articulated in such a way, e.g. Haqiqa (reality) is taken from Haq(real) also a name of Allah. Al Haq.
in comparison to the english word real, which is derived from the latin word realis meaning "things" or property.
there is a clear differentiation, and anyone who wants to know the relationship in words should buy this.
chambers book of etymology is also a good book for english that is.
Not the best. - Rated
I bought this book as a replacement for Penrice, but, for me, it's not as good.
The layout is a little confusing and some words don't seem to be listed, although this may be the result of my not being able to find them.
On the other hand, if you are not confident in your Arabic, this dictionary is superior to Penrice's, since it contains an alphabetical index, an index of roots, and a lot of information on pronunciation.
Penrice's book was also written by a non-Muslim Victorian scholar and restricts itself to strict definitions of the meaning of words. Omar's dictionary has more commentary and details.
A Must Buy!!!!!!!!!! - Rated
All the students of Quran Must buy this amazing Dictionary. Simply great, if you cannot buy Lane's Lexicon go for this, its worth spending your money on it. May God bless the writer.
