The study of Arabic, therefore, cannot be taken lightly. The books that can impart knowledge of the Qur'anic Arabic are rare.

The most scholarly dictionary of the Arabic language available. This work is the product of over thirty years of unrelenting labour.

No scholar or group of scholars has produced anything to supplant it. As it originally appeared and was later reproduced, the Lexicon consisted of eight large, cumbersome volumes, which made it difficult to use. Now, for the first time, the Islamic Texts Society has, with no loss whatsoever of clarity or legibility, brought together the eight large volumes into two compact volumes; it is now possible to keep the Lexicon on the work desk and refer to it with ease.
