Salli/Salaat (ibadat aur shar'ee isthalahaat). page 931. Appendix 1/11.
* Salaat: literally means to give blessings/duas and to praise & give respect (مفا).
Salla means to offer prayers. The order to offer prayers is mentioned nearly 700 times in the Quran kareem; details are not mentioned. Only three prayers (Namaz) and their timings are mentioned in the Quran; during sunset, evening and morning. The middle prayers have been mentioned but not in clear terms as to which prayer it is. Prayers in congregation have been mentioned many times and for this the phrase "Iqaamatis Salaat" has been used. Purity and the farDs of Wudu have been mentioned and the pillars of Salat: Ruku, Qiyaam and Sajda are also mentioned. Raka'a literally means to bend but figuratively it means bending in a precise and known manner from the back during salaat which should point to humbleness and helplessness.
Raka'at comes from Raka'a which means that this is the most important part of Salat. Also this word has been used in the Quran for the total/whole Salat. Allah says: 2:43.
Sajada literally means humility and submission (مفا منجد) and everything in this world submits before Allah Taala. But in shara'ee parlance, it means to sit in a particular manner and to bow down by putting the forehead and nose on the earth. Like Ruku, Sajda is also an important part of Salat. Allah says: 48:29.
Apart from the time bound known prayers, Quran also mentions salaat Qasr (prayer of a wayfarer) and Salar ul khawf (prayer during war) and Namaz e Janaza and Namaze Tahajjud are also mentioned.
The word "Sala'at" comes in four meanings in the Quran:
1) The time bound prayers
2) Namaze e Janaza which has no Ruku or Sajda, only Qiyam. Allah says: 9:85.
3) In the meaning of Dua: Allah says: 9:103 and
4) and if it relates to Allah Taala, then it means to shower Rahmah. Allah says 33:56.

Surah al Ikhlaas - COMPLETE Synonyms - REVIEW NEEDED

Surah al Ikhlaas Synonyms



Ayah 1:

قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
Say, "He is Allah , [who is] One without a second,


Synonyms:
Ahad, waHeed, fard, fraadaa (dotless ya)

Ahad:- meaning; One without any second. This is why this is used exclusively for Allah (God).


For other beings, the word used is; Waahid. (Mutaraadifaat-ul-Quran)


But there are two instances where AHad is used as a synonym (same meaning) as WaaHid;

i - the Nouns for Counting beings/things, i.e. "aHada-humaa" (meaning: 'One of the two'), "aHadun minkum" (meaning: 'One from them'), "yawma al aHad" (meaning: 'Sunday') etc.


ii - The negation of 'one' (NEEDS REVIEWING):

I.e. NEGATIVE: Laysa fee al-daari *aHad* (there is not ANYONE in the house)

POSITIVE: Compared to: Laysa fee al-daari *WaaHid* (there is none [but] ONE in the house) ???

(there is not ANYONE (aHad) from you who can withhold Us (from Punishing) - Qalam 69:47)


But the word "WaaHid" is common, and is used for many things. The only things aHad is used is for; the 'mother' (urdu: maa) or Allah (God).

The word WaaHid is used as one of Allah's Name to positively emphasise that He is One.


The word aHad (i.e. 112:1) is used to emphasise that Allah is One, Unique, without anyone similar to His essence (dhaat). He is One without a second,

....

2 - *waHiyd* - similar to aHad, except referring to a Creation. The created thing which has no equal to it is called WaaHid or WaHiyd.

Quran example: Muddathir 74:11 - Leave Me (Allah) to the he who I created alone (waHiyd).

This ayah is talking about Waleed ibn al-Mugheerah who at that time had no equal in children or power.


3 - Fard:- to Separate One thing from a group.

A thing which is with/next to something else. When it is separated, it is munFarid/Fard (separate and known as One).

Possible english translation: Excluded thing/being from a group = Fard. 
Plural: aFraad.

Female Singular: Furdah (he is going on his Own) Female Plural: Furaadaa (dotless Ya)


(Qur'an Anbiya 21:89 - when Zakariyya called out to his Nurturer in seclusion, 'my Nurturer, do not leave me Fardan (alone/excluded) and You are the best of inheritors.)
(Surah al An'am 6:95) -  We will bring you forward individually
(furaada), like We created you the first time.








Ayah 2:


اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ
Allah , the One who everyone depends on, and He does not depend on others.



Samad - be niyaaz (Arabic meaning implies both: Ghaniy, Samad)

- Ghaniy (self independently Rich that he does not need to depend on money from anyone else.) -


Antonym: Faqiyr (dependant on others for money)

Example: (al Baqarah 2: 273)


- Samad = (someone/thing Firm and Strong, who does not depend on others, but everyone else depends on him, and people come to him from everywhere.) the difference between Samad and Ghaniy is that Ghaniy is
richness in wealth, whereas Samad is to be rich and strong in all ways.


(Quran al Ikhlas 112:2 - Allahu al-Samad...)






Ayah 3:




لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
He neither fathers nor is born,


yalid / yuwlad p6-upwards



Urdu: jan-na (to Father)


2 words in Arabic:

1 - WaDa3a = to put something Down.

'WaDa3atu al Hamal = I put the burden Down' (when Hamal is placed next to WaDa3a - it usually means 'child' i.e. a woman putting down the burden is putting down the burden = [giving birth to] her child). This word is also used to refer to giving birth to animals.

(Qur'an aal Imran 3:36, Hajj 22:2)


2 - walada = he Fathered.



- is used for humans.


- Linguistically - the waalidah (female) is always the waalidah/mother of her child. [yet she might not always be the waaDi3 Hamal (the one who puts down the burden)] 

- Often it refers to the male who fathers the child, but it also implies to Nurture (bring up) the child. (see Qur'an al Israa' 17:76 - where Pharoah says he Nurtured/raised [waliyd] Moses.)






Ayah 4:
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
Nor is there to Him any equivalent (like a wife or an equal enemy).


Yakun - hona (p10) (urdu pg:900)

Synonyms:

-Kaana (past tense 'Was') / yaKuwn (present-future tense 'Is')

Advertisement of Quran-Synonyms Project for Facebook

A group of brothers and sister volunteers have decided to translate the most famous Mutaraadifaat ul Qur'an thesaurus (1000pages) from Urdu into English.

To make the work easier to complete, we've decided to search for more Volunteers who can aid us in completing this project.

The more people who get involved, the sooner we can complete the book
and add it to a website and publish in book form.


If you're interested in getting involved, you can get a preview of the
book from here (we have divided it into 10page splits):

http://archive.org/details/MutaraadifaatAlQuran-Urdu-Abd-ur-rahmanKailaniprojectToTranslateTo

You can join us at the following on this blog to get involved:

Also see; http://Quran-Synonyms.blogspot.com


The Mission: the Aim is to get 10 leaders, each leader finds 10 volunteers who work below him/her.

this way, if each person (total people:100) just translated 10pages (which only takes around 1hour), we could complete the entire book within this year! Inshaa' Allah.


If you want to be a volunteer leader, or volunteer - we have a sisters group, and some brother groups.

You can contact us at the following email to get involved:

We look forward to working with you!

WRITING: Book Index1 entries at a glance

Assalamu3alaikum waRahmatullahi waBarakatuhu all,

Bismillah... Alhamdulillah wassalaatu wassalaamu 3alaa Rasulillah. Sallellahu 3laihi wasallam. May Allah enable us to begin & end this project with His name and make our efforts purely for His sake. Ameen.


Snapshot of the # of entries in book

In this part of the project, we are planning to simply write out the Arabic synonyms from the first index. This index is ordered according to the urdu alphabet, but people who can read Arabic (and don't know Urdu) can still get involved.

How To: - Layout the Translating

As-salaamu alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa barakaatuh



Alot of people have said they find it difficult to translate the Urdu dictionary, but I will explain how this is extremely easy inshaa' Allah. People with elementary urdu understanding will realise through this method how easy it can be inshaa' Allah.



Word (meaning):

Synonyms:
1 - (meaning) (quran reference)
2 - (meaning) (quran reference)


Next word...


Example:

I had to translate the word 'Ahad' into English:

Word: 'Akeyla' (to be One)

Synonyms:
1 - Ahad: to be One without a second (2nd). This is often used for God. (Quran Ikhlas 112:1)
2 - Waahid: a creation who is unique, an individual. (Quran : )
3 - Fard: One thing from a group of other things. (Quran : )



Next word...


Do you see how easy it is?
All you need to know is understand the urdu at a basic level, and then translate it into how you understood the Urdu sentence (it doesn't even have to be a literal word for word translation.)



If this has inspired you, are you willing to get involved in translating the Urdu? If yes, just comment here.

As salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh

http://www.scribd.com/doc/79675625/Mutaradifaat-ul-Quran-in-Urdu-by-Abdur-Rahman-al-Kilaani-original-work-in-Arabic-Raghib-al-Isfahani


We will be transcribing the Arabic Synonyms index from the book contents page:

Urdu page numbers: P11 - P34 | English page numbers: P29 - P53


QD - Letter Alif

ahmad - Letter Ba - ta


LM - Pey to Qaf
(Transcribing - Urdu page #: P15 - P27 | English: P33 - P45)




We need volunteers who will help transcribe the rest of the Alphabet letters.

Difficulty: This task is easy if you have basic knowledge of Urdu and Arabic, and does not require Translation.
  

MAIN PROJECT: Volunteer Teams & their Objectives

As salaamu alaykum wa Rahmatullah wa Barakaatuh


Team 1: Sisters Team (led by V.I. and UrwatulWuthqa): completing Pages 1-100 by next year. (2013)

Team 2: Umer's MSA team. completing pages 101-200 by next year. (2013)

Team 3: Ahmad's team: looking for more volunteers and completing pages 201-300 by next year (2013).

Team 4: LM: looking for more volunteers and completing pages 301-400.


We are looking for 6 more volunteer leaders, and many more volunteer translators (possibly 10 in each team), which will involve translating just 10 pages from the book each.

If we are able to do this by next year (100 people translating 10 pages each), we will have translated 1000pages and completed translation of the entire book. This is our main aim.
