‫= ‪Asim Iqbal 2nd, Released = 16th November 2011. Paper size= letter. Total roots in List 1‬‬ ‫‪318‬‬
‫‪Priorities assigned = 13th January 2013.‬‬
Priority Count
1 88
2 79 Study and research the root that you think is most important first and then next
3 100 important and so on. I have set priorities using different colors, i.e. priority 1
4 51 roots should be done 1st and then priority 2 and so on.
All 318

Priorities have also been assigned. Root Lists from the Qur'an. Root List 1 = 318 roots. Roots that should be
studied in detail and detailed notes on these should also be shared online, others can improve the list further
or release their own lists. The Qur'an has the solutions, and basic aim of this list was to find roots from which
some words come on relevant issues today, and then some important Islamic terms, some concepts having
deep impact, and some other criterias were used. Roots were searched using
http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp and 2 of roots were corrected before adding to my document.
Users can go to above site and do a basic survey of the roots and their derived words and their usages with
context, and then can do deeper study using lexicons, dictionaries, and vocabulary and grammatical
references and tafasir, and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his Sahaba. Ta.weel
is the word for which root alif waw laam chosen, ummul kitaab is the compound due to which root alif miim
miim chosen i.e. even if 1 word from root is important, root is chosen. Maybe in 2014 or even later, I can start
sharing research, but the lists are released so that other researchers can also do and share their researches on
these roots online. Note : This is just an attempt and with further effort, researchers can compile an even
better list or lists. For further suggestions, addition of any important root & support for your research, contact:
Asim Iqbal 2nd. Feel free to contact me on any issue, I mean it, regardless of your school of thought or
differences with me, as this is nothing personal, its for serving Islam, and ego, past discussions and personal
differences have nothing to do with this. Sites: http://asimiqbal2nd.wordpress.com
