A Dictionary of Religious Terms is considered a robust academic reference specializing in the linguistic and Sharia-based connection between Arabic and English. Authored by Dr. Abdullah Abu-Eshy Al-Maliki and Dr. Abdul-Latif Sheikh-Ibrahim and published by Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University in 1997, the book features a comprehensive scientific structure. It functions as both a bilingual dictionary (English-Arabic and Arabic-English) and an interpretative guide. The work includes highly important specialized appendices, such as a section for explaining religious terms to ensure precise understanding before translation, a dedicated appendix for religious idioms and common sayings and a specific section for the Beautiful Names of Allah (Asma Allah al-Husna) with their English translations. This makes it a pivotal tool for translators and researchers in Islamic and social sciences who wish to present religious content in English with a high level of academic accuracy and professional linguistic quality, avoiding personal interpretations or inaccurate general translations.
