Hello everyone,
How can I start to learn arabic? Are there any dictionaries that you will recommend?
And also I read some topics from this forum and nearly everyone is talking about the meanings of verses by just reading translations. I wonder how can we really understand the arabic text by someone's translation ?
And also Are todays dictionaries the same with 1400 years ago?
Languages can change often so how can we be sure about translations?

Any dictionaries? (I would be so thankful if your suggestions are online)

Of course dictionaries can help... But don't depend on dictionaries.. Guidance is from God..  Human makes error not God...
Afterall quran is in Arabic language. .using a dictionary is no harm... But don't simply understand Quran with dictionary..  It is beyond that.. Every individual will get it if guidance is meant for him or her.. Or else he will only persist with dictionary like a parrot.
Thank you..

Consider the dictionaries and knowing Arabic to be just starting point. You can actually test the translations in real life to see what they are exactly saying. Nature just responds. Some things are hidden right inside the body. Even they begin to rise up putting rest to many controversies and disagreements. Ironically, most of those hidden things are just open secrets in other religions.
