John Penrice & R.B. Serjeant 
Dictionary and Glossary of the Koran 
In Arabic and English

John Penrice”s Dictionary and Glossary of the Kor-ân first published almost a century ago, has withstood the test of time, and has been an aid to generations of Kor-ân students. According to Islamic doctrine the Kor-ân is the literal word of God, and it would be introduced by the phrase, ‘Qiil Allah ta”iilii, God the Exalted said’, and when a passage has been recited aloud it will be said, ‘$adaq Allah al-”Azim, God Almighty has truly spoken’.
