Book Description
"In a well-known hadith, Muhammad advises Muslims that, 'On the Day of Resurrection, you will be called by your names and the names of your fathers; so keep beautiful names.' Inspired by the teachings of Islam, names fulfill the cherished ambitions of a true Muslim. Unfortunately, a large number of Muslims with names of Arabic or Persian origin are unaware of their meaning and their bearing on Islamic heritage. Many parents select names for their children consisting of uncommon Arabic words with phonetic effect. But these meanings are often devoid of any religious meaning or cultural resonance. In The Dictionary of Muslim Names, Salahuddin Ahmed provides a helpful and substantive guide to common and less-common Muslim names. This lively and informative dictionary lists the original Arabic, Persian, or Turkish spelling, as well as a precise English transliteration. The names' meaning and bearing on Islamic heritage or world history are referenced, along with historical figures who bore the name - an Imaam, a Sultan, a saint - and accompanying examples"--Back cover.

Corpus Inscriptionum Arabicarum Palaestinae (CIAP).
Author: Moshe SharonPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 9004131973
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 398
Book Description
The religious and strategic importance of Western Palestine in the Islamic period is clearly reflected in the hundreds of Arabic inscriptions found, the texts of which cover a variety of topics including construction, dedication, religious endowments, epitaphs, Qur'anic texts, prayers and invocations, all now assembled in this "Corpus Inscriptionum Arabicarum Palaestinae" ("CIAP"). The inscriptions are arranged according to site, and are studied in their respective topographical, historical and cultural contexts. In this way the "Corpus" offers more than a survey of inscriptions: it represents the epigraphical angle of the geographical history of the Holy Land.
