Best Al-Quran dictionaries?
-
peace
I keep hearing that the dictionary of the holy quran by Abdul Mannan Omar, is the best one. Is this really the best one? Any other ones? I am looking for the best one period, no matter the cost. Please mention any other tools that complement the dictionry in BOOK FORM
Already went thru this thread
Thanks to all, in advance
P.S. already have the lexicon

Abdul mannan's is the best basic dictionary. I have got some to give away. If anyone from the uk want it lemme know.

AM.Omar's is the MOST useful one, but it does contain mistakes here and there and he leaves out many definitions that can be found in other dictionaries. But in English, together with Lane's, you have the best one.

ive also been wondering about the best dictionary out there - i think its good to have a few and cross reference.
ps. rasul hamsa - id love to have a copy of the abdul mannan dictionary. How much u sellin em for? pm me and we can arrange something peace

Salam,
I would say the best Arabic-English dictionaries are Lanes Lexicon and The Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic. Even though Hans wehr is a modern arabic dictionary, it also has the older translations of the words as well.
Researching Hebrew and Aramaic will also help you immensely in your Arabic studies and the understanding of Arabic and by association the whole Quran.
The best Hebrew dictionaries are by Vines, Gesenius, and Brown-Driver-Briggs, and the Strong's Concordance. If you can, I would suggest researching the ancient pictographs of phoenician and proto-canaanite, to further assist you in understanding these languages. They are all related and the further you study the more in-depth your understanding of the Quran will be.
