Dictionary of Islamic Terms ( English-Arabic Arabic-English) written by Deeb Al-Khudrawi and publush by Dar-us-salam, a word from the author: There are many dictionaries concerning many fields of life, but we do not yet have an explanatory dictionary regarding Islamic terms.

In essence, I hope you readers will become enlightened.
