The Clear Quran® Series | Dictionary

Description

Introducing the world's first picture dictionary of the Quran's 2,000+ entries, ‎with the goal of empowering the majority of Muslims (who are not Arabs) to read ‎the Quran in its original, rich Arabic form in just 4-6 months, without having to ‎rely on translations. Five years in the works, this dictionary highlights the ‎connection between all words that share the same root. It is very straightforward, ‎not indulging in redundant details or overly academic discussions that make the ‎book irrelevant. For anyone who has always aspired to have a personal ‎connection with the Book of Allah in Arabic, this dictionary is a dream come ‎true. About the Translator Dr. Mustafa Khattab is a Canadian-Egyptian authority on interpreting the Quran. He was a member of the first team that translated the Ramadan night prayers (Tarawîh) live from the Sacred Mosque in Mecca and the Prophet's Mosque in Medina (2002-2005). Dr. Khattab memorized the entire Quran at a young age, and later obtained a professional ijâzah in the Ḥafṣ style of recitation with a chain of narrators going all the way to Prophet Muhammad ﷺ.
