Some Arabic words
-
Peace,
Can anyone please help with advice on an English-Arabic dictionary for my studies? Is their such a thing as a "Qu'ranic" dictionary for exaple, either online or in print form?
A couple of terms I am interested in at the moment are;
-
"idle talk" where Allah is supposedly referring to music. I can't remember where the verse is, or what the Arabic term is. Could He be referring to hadith here? I would like to investigate further.
-
the Arabic term "juyubihinna". Not sure if I spelt that correctly. It's from one of the so-called "hijab" verses and I've seen it translated as "chest" and "bosom" and some translations even manage to get the face in there somehow, and one eye yeah So I would like to look into that one too.
Thanks to anyone who can help

Peace to you,
Thanks Wakas! That online root thing is way cool O0
I looked up "Jim-Ya-Ba" and you know it does say "chest" etc, but it also mentions "heart" which I thought was nice ) we should cover our hearts and not wear them on our sleeves lol.
Very funny, your debate with that dude- I think I could have articulated HIS argument better than he did rotfl

I wouldn't refer to that verse regarding music, or that word regarding covering oneself.
The verse I'd use regarding music, would be those verses that refer to intoxicants.
And regarding covering oneself, the word to refer to head covering would be the word khumur (plural noun of khimar).
Also note where it refers to "yubdeena zeenatahunna", that's something to take close note of. -

Please remember, looking at the classical Arabic for possible meanings is only one small aspect in figuring out a meaning. Please see the following page which is linked to on the homepage of Project Root List
Which root meaning is correct?

Yeh cool thanks )
Hmmm, not sure music would be included here as intoxicant. Not that I would know of course. I readily admit I know nothing, I'm just exploring. Of course, music can be intoxicating, if we use it that way. Used moderately I would say for me it can be "moving" but not intoxicating. I mean, lots of things that aren't actual "substances" can be intoxicating- love, for example, even a fresh summer day, the smell of flowers etc.... are we to avoid all these too? Allahu alim, but I rather think it means alcohol and hashish and stuff.
I agree the word khimar is important. I take it to mean a head covering, which is why I wear it )
Peace,

Since we are on the topic of arabic words, can someone shed some light on the word "adultery" in the Quran?
There are many places where the word is used but in 187 "Surely We have made whatever is on the earth and embellishment..." and 242 "The adulteress and the adulterer flog each of them a hundred stripes..."
Is "zinah" in these two verses the same word or are they two different words? What is the grammatical structure?
