m o . c n In the rname of Allah, Most Beneficent, Most Merciful a u q d PREFACE n t a s r e All praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings of Allah be d n u . upon his Prophet, Muhammad. Allah says says very explicitly in His w w Book, " (This is) a Book (the Qur'an) which We have sent down w
to you, full of blessings that they may ponder over its verses, and that men of unders understanding tanding may remember [38:29]." If we don't unders understand tand the Book, how can we ponder on its verses! Ahadith also emphasize the learning of the Qur'an. The Prophet of Allah, Muhammad, peace be upon him, said, "The best among you are those who have learnt the Qur'an and teach it (to others)" [Bukhari]. It was a blessing of Allah that almost 15 years ago, I had prepared the booklet, “80% of the Qur'anic Words” to provide some help in fulfilling the above-mentioned objectives. The booklet had Alhamdulillah received warm reception. It was translated into almost 15 15 languages. Different software and blogs were prepared based on the booklet. New digitized data of the Qur'an is now extensively available on the internet especially on corpus.quran. corpus.quran.com com and tanzil.net. In view of this, the word lists are checked, revised, updated, and more words wor ds are added in this version. Please make sure to have “Selected Verbs of the Qur'an” along with this booklet (mentioned in Point No. 13 below) for a more complete set. 2

You may find all these d n t a at our website www.understandqur courses www.understandquran.co.in an.co.in s r
e d n u . Please keep the following points in mind while studying this w w booklet. w
1. No. of words and their meanings: The words given in this booklet account for 85.2% (65949) of the total words (approx. 77 77430) 430) of the Qur'an. 2. Most common meanings: For each word, only the most common meanings are given. Some words may have other meanings too, depending upon their context. However, the number of such words is very ver y small. 3. More than one meanings: A semicolon is placed between two diff different erent meanings of the same word. For similar meanings, a comma is placed between the meanings. For example: (eye; spring ) and (above , up ). 4. Most commonly occurring words: The words listed in the first six pages occur very frequently. Some of them occur in combination with each other other.. They constitute a whopping 41. 1.1% 1% (3 (31852) 1852) of the total words. 5. Word count on each page: At the bottom lef leftt of the page, total is provided for the number of times the words wor ds of that page have occurred in the Qur'an. The bottom right right shows the percent of the total Qur'anic words that have been 3
www.understandquran.com
m o covered up c to that page. . n 6. Nouns r aand verbs: The number next to the noun (pages 7 u 14) d q or the verb (pages (pag es 15-33) shows the number of times time s n a noun or the verb (in its various forms) has occurred in t that s r e d the Qur'an. n . u7. Arrangemen Arrangementt of word lists: Words given on pages 1 w w w through 14 14 are arranged according to the topic. However, some of these words could not be placed under any of the topics and therefore are placed at the end of any of the word lists wherever space was available. 8. Arrangement of verbs: Verbs given on pages 22 through 33 are arranged according to their types to facilitate the learning. 9. Vowel sign on the last letter: If the last letter of a word given in this booklet does not have a vowel sign ( ), it indicates that any vowel sign can come on it depending upon the context in which that word word is used. if occurs before the word, then Tanween ( ) is not
used. 10. Arrangement of words: In almost ever everyy case, the words are arranged alphabetically to make the search sear ch easy. 11. Brief conjugation of verbs: For each verb, the past tense, the imperfect tense, the imperative, the active participle and the verbal noun are provided. It is assumed that based on this information, you can reproduce the whole verb table. Sample tables are provided at the end of this 4
www.understandquran.com
booklet. . c o m n 12. Active r a and passive: For almost every verb type, samples of u q the forms (active voice) are provided in the first d n a t s line those of the forms (passive voice) in the last. r e d 13. Detailed conjugation of verbs: A star (*) is placed next to n u . w selected verbs. Different forms (conjugation) of such w w verbs are provided in detail in a separate booklet, "Selected Verbs of the Qur'an." 14. Silat-ul-fa'l ( ): Just like in any language, some verbs and nouns of action are always followed by a preposition. For example, believe in: . However, in some cases, a change in the preposition may change the meanings too. for example, get; get in; get at; get by, get off, get on, etc. A list of some important verbs along with changing prepositions is provided on page no. 34. 15.Dual and Feminine forms: The word forms related to dual number and feminine gender are used sparingly in the Qur'an. In normal cases, the singular nouns are made dual by adding __ or at the end. 16. References: The first version of the book was prepared using different sources. Most important one among these is the book ( ) prepared originally at the Arabic Language institute of King Saud University by Dr. Muhammad Hussain Abulfatooh and published by Maktaba Lebanon, Lebanon (1990). 5
