Yes, this is a good book. I had a Sudanese teacher who had a small verson of it (the book was not very big) but it was a very good book and explained things like ababeel/ababeed etc, and other words and their unusual forms not easily found or explained well in other dictionaries. I do not have a copy of it however. I forgot what it was fully called until today. Thanks.

I remember being somewhat offended by the title and how gharib and Quran could be mentioned in the same sentence.

Peace Wakas,

I haven't seen the book online. At $20 it is pretty cheap for 579 pages. It would probably cost more than this to print it if it is available online.

Peace,

peace all,

Sister Samia gave me this link
http//www.shamela.ws/old_site/open.php?cat=5&book=1887

So it seems it is available online. It is a RAR file which I opened, to discover it is a BOK file. Never heard of such a file type.

Tried searching how to open/view such a file and didn't find much.

It seems you may have to use it through their software

Anyone know? The RAR file had this text with it

bok .
.

I was asking because if it is not available online, StudyQuran will put it online. As a tool, but also to aid translation if it is attempted.

Brother Wakas, try changing the extension to .html or .dhtml

peace Ayman,

Thanks. I have updated the www.studyquran.org website with the link.

I have been sent one page of an English translation. If the work becomes regular, I will create a website for it and make it public.
