ÍNDICE INGLÉS DE TÉRMINOS CORÁNICOS

Los verbos que abren línea se distinguen mediante «(v.)» entre paréntesis, marcando así la diferencia entre, por ejemplo, el sustantivo «command» y el verbo «to command». En algunos casos de ambigüedad, identifico asimismo sustantivos y adjetivos mediante «s.» y «adj.», respectivamente. Las expresiones iniciales de línea que se usan comúnmente con el artículo determinado (p. ej., «the hereafter») van seguidas de «[the]» entre corchetes. Para una información gramatical más detallada sobre las expresiones árabes, véase el diccionario principal. Como se explicó en la sección «Cómo utilizar este libro», para algunos términos coránicos importantes incluyo traducciones habituales que no suscribo personalmente, tales como «unlettered» e «illiterate» para ummī (que a mi juicio se traduce más adecuadamente como «scriptureless») o «upright» y «of pure monotheistic faith» para ḥanīf. El propósito de este criterio ecuménico es permitir a los lectores emplear el presente diccionario junto con las traducciones existentes del Corán.
