London: Hurst, 1999. A Fine unmarked copy. xvi + 351 pages. The resurgence and revitalisation of Muslim culture have created a growing interest in the study of Muslim names. Throughout the world Muslims share similar names, be they in the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, South East Asia or new migrants in the West. The predominant language in Muslim names is Arabic, followed by Persian (Farsi), the two major languages which transmitted Muslim culture in its early stages and later expansion. The purpose of this dictionary is to give the meaning or bearing on Islamic heritage of the words, Arabic or Persian, which form parts of Muslim names. Many Muslims with names that comprise Arabic or Persian are unaware of their meaning or bearing on Islamic heritage, particularly if they are unfamiliar with these languages. It is important for parents and guardians to devote time to selecting suitable names for children by consulting authentic books on names and re-checking them with from standard Arabic-English and/or Persian-English dictionaries. This dictionary simplifies this process. 50. Soft Cover. As New/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
