Islamic Terms/Common Phrases ??

salam alaikum wrwb,  :-)
I was just wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting a bunch of islamic terms.. I have a dictonary full of them. It could help us all learn the arabic language. Please let me know.
Here's an example of what I would post:

                         حب فى الله  [hubbun fi Allah]  Love for Allah's sake.
       
                         مستحب     [mustahab] Recommendable, desirable

I also have a bunch of common language phrases too. Like this:

                       صباح الخير   [sabaaH al-khayr]   Good morning

                       أفهم       [afham]  I understand

                       لا أفهم     [laa afham]  I don't understand

I could also post the arabic alphabet in case someone who doesnt know it is interested. I have the arabic/english keyboard. Just let me know what you think.. Jazak Allah khair.

sis fatimah,

that could be very helpful here, but first check out two sources that already appear here - the glossary in madina "help" and the vocabulary pop-up boxes.

but i know myself that my transliterated arabic dictionary is not very helpful most of the time for arabic use in an islamic context, and i think there are quite a number of people here interested in learning arabic, so i think words and expressions like the examples you gave would be very helpful.

but, i think you have to use transliterated arabic letters for it to be legible here......

Sis Fatimah..Great IDEA, mashaAllah!  May Allah reward you for your efforts!  I can read the Arabic fine (I think my computer's encoding is on Arabic windows)...

Keep em coming, it will help loads of ppl here, inshaAllah!  I will contribute too:)

Salam
