An on-line dicitionary

[nimrod]

Hello Everyone

I have been reading over the list of on-line study books for learning about Islam.

I have seen many words used in these threads I am not familiar with. I am hoping there is a good on-line dicitionary that you all would recommend so I can look the words up as I come across them.

Thanks

hijab: the term used to describe the full dress code for women to keep them from unwelcome attentions and to preserve their modesty. It includes rules for covering the feet, what jewellery can be worn and even the limits of modern make-up that are permitted.

Although the word 'hijab' is commonly referred to as the headscarf muslim women wear.
