Selected Arabic Poems of the Promised Messiah (as) — Page x
We have not transliterated some Arabic words which have become part of English language, e. g. Islam, Quran, Hadith, Mahdi, jihad, Ramadan, and ummah. The Royal Asiatic Society’s rules of transliter- ation for names of persons, places, and other terms, are not followed throughout the book as many of the names contain non-Arabic char- acters and carry a local transliteration and pronunciation style. x
