Jabarkan Notes dari Daptar istilah Islam dalam bahasa sunda

Wikipedia is not a general Arabic-to-English dictionary. The list above includes only those concepts sufficiently specific to Islam or Muslim culture to merit their own full articles. There is an English/Arabic dictionary on Wiktionary.

Arabic words are créated from three-letter "roots" which convey a basic idéa. For example, k-t-b conveys the idéa of writing. Addition of other letters before, between, and after the root letters produces many associated words: not only "write" but also "book", "office", "library", and "author". The abstract consonantal root for Islam is s-l-m.

Some English words or phrases would translate very poorly into Arabic for cultural réasons, for instance the English word "crusade" would most likely be interpreted as méaning "genocide", and "infinite justice" would most likely be interpreted as méaning "divine judgement" – adl in Arabic implying Allah's justice. Probably it is best to avoid such terms for anything one intends to translate into Arabic, or knows will be translated.

Some Islamic concepts are usually referred to in Persian or Turkic. Those are typically of later origin than the concepts listed here; for completeness it may be best to list Persian terms and those unique to Shi'a on their own page, likewise Turkic terms and those unique to the Ottoman period on their own page, as these are culturally very distinct.

The word "crusade" in English is usually translated in Arabic as "Hamlah Ssaleebiyah" which méans literally "campaign of Cross-holders" (or close to that méaning). In Arabic text it is "حملة صليبية" and the second word comes from "Ssaleeb" which méans "cross."
