List Of Islamic Terms In Arabic
The following list consists of notable concepts that are derived from Islamic and associated cultural (Arab, Persian, Turkish) traditions, which are expressed as words in Arabic or Persian language. The main purpose of this list is to disambiguate multiple spellings, to make note of spellings no longer in use for these concepts, to define the concept in one or two lines, to make it easy for one to find and pin down specific concepts, and to provide a guide to unique concepts of Islam all in one place. Separating concepts in Islam from concepts specific to Arab culture, or from the language itself, can be difficult. Many Arabic concepts have an Arabic secular meaning as well as an Islamic meaning. One example is the concept of dawah. Arabic, like all languages, contains words whose meanings differ across various contexts. Arabic is written in its own alphabet, with letters, symbols, and orthographic conventions that do not have exact equivalents in the Latin alphabet (see Ara ...

Tahdia
Tahdiya is Arabic (تهدئة) for "calming" or "quieting". It is an Islamic legal concept that refers to the temporary pacification of conflict and is sometimes translated a temporary-ceasefire. However, unlike a more permanent truce, it is nonbinding and may be broken at any time and without delay by Muslims. The term has been applied to a proposed temporary lull between the Israeli forces and the Palestinian National Authority branch of the Muslim Brotherhood Hamas, beginning early in 2004 following the non-successful discussions to sign a hudna, or temporary armistice. While hudna is a term for temporary armistice, it should not be confused with tahdiya, which stands for calming down on hostilities but not a complete stop to them.
