The Encyclopaedic Cross-reference Dictionary of the QuranArabic-English

This Arabic-English Dictionary of the Quran is the first of its kind ever since no dictionary on earth has adopted mixing the two systems . As for authoritative Arabic-Arabic Quranic Dictionaries there is none that deals with bare words as such ; rather they deal with alfaz lit. utterances. As for mixing the two systems the Dictionary has no rival even among the purely linguistic ones or rather the only one namely al-wasit. As for other bilingual Arabic-English dictionaries of the Quran the most famous one is that by the orientalist Penrice of 1873 which is a small dictionary.It is very venemous and often ridicules the Muslim commentators of the Quran.It must be abandoned.This bilingual Dictionarythen can be of great help to English-speaking readers who are after an accurate meaning of Quranic words. Readers do not need for the first time in the history of Arabic lexicography to think of the root of the Arabic word though this very root system is strictly adopted in the Dictionary.
