Daptar di handap eusina konsép-konsép nu diturunkeun tina ageman Islam jeung tradisi Arab, nu diéksprésikeun minangka kecap-kecap basa Arab. Kagunaan utama daptar ieu nyaéta pikeun ngaleungitkeun disambiguasi tina rupa-rupa éjahan, pikeun nyatet éjahan nu teu digunakeun deui pikeun konsép ieu, pikeun ngadéfinisikeun konsép dina hiji atawa dua baris, pikeun ngagampangkeun singsaha waé dina manggihan konsép nu spésifik, sarta pikeun nyadiakeun tungtunan kana konsép nu unik tina Islam, kabéhna dina hiji tempat.

Misahkeun konsép Islam tina budaya Arab, atawa tina basana sorangan, bisa jadi kacida susahna. Lona konsép urang Arab boga harti nu misah hartina kawas harti Islamina.

 Notes 
 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."
