This is despite the fact that so many words are repeated justfor the ease of the reader. In principle, if you take out the repeated words,the total number of words in this book may well be less than 2000!!!Allah Subhanahu wa ta'aala has revealed His book which contains so fewwords. This is another miracle of the Qur'an. These statistics should giveyou a strong push to go ahead and continue memorizing till the end of thisbook, inshaAllah.

Lughatul-Qur'anviiiForewordForeword by Shaikh Syed Abul-Hasan Ali Nadwi(Written for the original Urdu version of Lughatul-Qur'an)All praise and thanks be to Allah, and peace be upon His chosenbondsmen and women!The Qur'an is the final revealed Book that contains the message ofguidance from Allah for all humankind. Accordingly, the salvation aswell as worldly welfare of the entire humanity depends upon following theguidance ordained in this Divine Book. In other words, success in thisworld as well as the Hereafter for humankind is treasured in this greatBook. Therefore, there is an endless need to compile Qur'anic expositions(in the context of modern challenges and evolving circumstances) whilecalling people towards understanding its eternal message.Indeed, blessed are those who have been given the opportunity to servethe Qur'an in one way or another, and more so if the effort receivesgeneral acceptance among the public. This recognition fulfills the veryobjective of providing an easy way for reading and understanding theQur'an.Our beloved Al-Haaj AbdulKarim Parekh is one of these fortunate menwho has served the Qur'an. He is well-known through his popular lecturesand lifelong service of propagating the message of Islam. He is an ardentcaller towards the Qur'an. In the city of Nagpur, India, his regularQur'anic lessons (Dars-e-Qur'an) have affected the Muslim youth,especially the educated class, and kindled in them the spirit of servitude toIslam and living according to the tenets of the Qur'an in everyday life.Till this day Shaikh Parekh is engaged in this sterling service to Islamdespite his demanding occupation as a merchant.

Lughatul-Qur'anixForewordHis book, entitled Lughatul-Qur'an, is part of his literary service which hewrote in Urdu in order to convey the message of the Qur'an among thecommon and educated class alike so as to make understanding the Qur'aneasy for them. The evidence of its wide acceptance is that within 15 to 20years, more than a dozen editions of the book have been printed. He hastranslated the difficult words of each Juz' (parah) with the help ofauthentic translations and according to the context in which the word isused. He has also provided the root of the word (verb) wherevernecessary. Brief rules of Arabic grammar are also provided at thebeginning of the book. This way, the book has become a key for Arabicwords as well as a guide to studying the Qur'an with the least effort.It may be mentioned here that because of my busy schedule, I could onlybrowse through the book casually. May Allah reward the author andincrease the usefulness and acceptance of the book, Ameen!Syed Abul-Hasan Ali NadwiRector, Nadwatul UlamaLukhnow, India.

Lughatul-Qur'an2xForewordPreface by the TranslatorsWe thank Allah that our generation of Muslim men and women, especially theyouths, has shown a great enthusiasm to understand the Holy Qur'an. Since the firstPersian translation of the Qur'an by Shah Waliullah Dehlavi over a century ago,followed by the Urdu translations by his capable sons, Shah AbdulQadir and ShahRafiuddin, there have been occasional efforts to render the Qur'an in nativelanguages in order to educate the Muslims in the Indian subcontinent. In our times,the Lughatul Qur'an by Shaikh AbdulKarim Parekh is certainly a major landmark inthis great effort.Before you start reading this dictionary of the Qur'an, you should keep in mind thatthe Qur'an is not a book of theories, rather it is a practical book of guidance, to beread and acted upon. As you go through this book, you should simultaneously readthe original Arabic texts of the Qur'an. In addition, a translation of Qur'an is offurther help. In a few months, Insha-Allah, you will have learnt to translate theArabic verses into your own language. It is then that you will realize the value ofthis little dictionary. Once you have memorized the words of the Qur'an togetherwith their meanings, you will discover new feelings from the recitation of theQur'an. As a matter of fact, you will feel that Allah has removed darkness from yourmind and lit your heart with His Noor (Light), Insha-Allah.Again, all praises and thanks are due to Almighty Allah that He has given us thedesire and affection to understand the Qur'an. I pray that He accept the endeavors ofthe author and reward him in the Hereafter, Ameen.(Late) Muhammad AbdurRashid Khan KampteeA note by those who revised it:All Praise be to Allah and Peace be upon all His Prophets.The book is prepared using Microsoft Word with Arabic Support. If you areinterested in translating/ printing it in any other language, all you have to do is to getthe corresponding words translated and then type those words above the Englishwords in the same Microsoft Word files. You can request the computer disk fromthe author, if you plan to carry out any such task. There are no copyrights. Thebook has been published in Hindi, Bengali, Turkish, and Gujarati (in addition toUrdu and English). Effort is underway to get this translated to Tamil.Part I of this book is available in poster forms, which can be displayed in Mosques,schools, and houses. They serve as an excellent aid for the beginners in addition to
