This specialized Russian-English dictionary contains over 4,500 headwords.
Frequent notes and commentaries accompanying the definitions give additional information on the background of the Islamic terms. Subjects such as the Koran, Hadith, law, personal names, locations and peoples, organizations, and daily life are covered.
Though glossaries, dictionaries, encyclopedias, and other works concerning Islam are available in both Russian and English, the same could not be said for combined Russian-English sources. This dictionary is intended to help fill that void.
