foundation of the Arabic language, broadening readers’ perspectives, and improving their
vocabulary and understanding of its nuances. It also seeks to support initiatives aimed at

building a community that is proficient in the Arabic language and its grammar. As a result,
this dictionary includes terms that are frequently used and widely accepted, including

common, loanwords, and coined terms, to reach Arabic language readers in different
countries.
The ‘Alghani Azzahir’ Dictionary stands out for its comprehensive coverage of both ancient

and contemporary Arabic vocabulary. The dictionary incorporates vocabulary from literature

and journalism, offering interpretations and implications in both literal and figurative contexts.
The dictionary also incorporates various formulas, structures, and numerous literary
references from the Holy Qur'an, the Prophet's hadiths, and several poetry collections.

It also features literary contributions from ancient and modern writers and authors from across
the Arab world. Additionally, the dictionary features Arabic collocations, proverbs, Arabized

words, and several other terms, along with their origins written in Latin. It further sheds light
on religious, cultural, scientific, and technical terms, as well as several illustrations of plants,

animals, geographical maps, and artistic paintings, among others. In essence, the dictionary
is a valuable linguistic resource for university students, professors, scholars, and writers.

H.E. Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of the MBRF, said, “The ‘Alghani Azzahir Dictionary’ is a
remarkable addition to the Arabic literary collection. Prominent Arab linguists have achieved
linguistic excellence in this well-crafted work, which is skillfully formulated in an innovative and

distinctive style. Enhancing linguistic knowledge is given priority in the dictionary, something
that is often missing from modern Arabic dictionaries. Unlike previous dictionaries, the

dictionary approaches words in a novel way, using a methodology that organizes entries by
pronunciation, making it easier for scholars to locate desired words according to their

pronunciation rather than their origin. With this, the dictionary stands out as a valuable
resource for researchers, academics, and the general public.”

Reiterating that books are the foundation of knowledge and a vital tool in building a generation
that recognizes the uniqueness and richness of the Arabic language, H.E. Bin Huwaireb also

underscored the MBRF’s dedication to enhancing knowledge in diverse fields.
The impact of the new dictionary on the development of the Arabic language and its

vocabulary is evident in the cognitive community. It also facilitates extensive research and
studies by acting as a comprehensive tool, improving Arabs’ understanding of their language,
heritage, and linguistic expression, while also contributing to the development of cognitive

identity and linguistic awareness.
