The main purpose of this list is to disambiguate multiple spellings, to make note of spellings no longer in use for these concepts, to define the concept in one or two lines, to make it easy for one to find and pin down specific concepts, and to provide a guide to unique concepts of Islam all in one place.</p><p>Separating concepts in Islam from concepts specific to Arab <a title="Culture" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture">culture</a>, or from the language itself, can be difficult. Many <a title="Arabic" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic">Arabic</a> concepts have an Arabic secular meaning as well as an Islamic meaning. One example is the concept of <a title="Dawah" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawah">dawah</a>. One of the complexities of the Arabic language is that a single word can have multiple meanings. The word <i><a title="Islam" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islam">Islam</a></i> is itself a good example.</p><p>Readers should also note that Arabic is written in its own <a title="Alphabet" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alphabet">alphabet</a>, with letters, symbols, and <a title="Orthography" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthography">orthographic</a> conventions that do not have exact equivalents in the <a title="Latin alphabet" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_alphabet">Latin alphabet</a> (see <a title="Arabic alphabet" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_alphabet">Arabic alphabet</a>). The following list is a <a title="Transliteration" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transliteration">transliteration</a> of Arabic terms and phrases. Consequently, <a title="Muslim" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muslim">Muslims</a> may transliterate certain Arabic words differently, such as <i>din</i> as opposed to <i>deen</i>, and <i>aqidah</i> as opposed to <i>aqeedah</i>. Most items in the list also contain their actual Arabic spelling.</p>mudohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00744091008751727167noreply@blogger.com1
