Description

A rare and early 1324 AH / 1906 CE Cairo edition of “Al-Mufradat fi Gharib al-Qur’an” (المفردات في غريب القرآن) by the renowned Islamic scholar Al-Raghib Al-Isfahani (Abu al-Qasim al-Husayn ibn Muhammad ibn al-Mufaddal).


This classic lexicon is one of the most important works ever written on the vocabulary and linguistic subtleties of the Holy Qur’an, offering detailed explanations of rare and nuanced Arabic terms.

Printed by the prestigious Al-Matba‘a al-Muniriyya in Cairo under the patronage of Mustafa al-Babi al-Halabi & Sons, this edition bears all the elegance and craftsmanship of early 20th-century Islamic printing.
