standardised arabic transliteration

[chisti-raza]

Is it possible to setup a STANDARDISED arabic transliteration pool of key words, fiqh terms, names, etc..that we could dip into whenever the need arises?

And maybe, we could also have a glossary of fiqh terminology, ahadith, etc...[if there is one such as this within this forum, could someone please point me to it?]

any of us can just add these into a thread [could be this one] and those with the correct grasp of arabic and fiqh could then correct us [if need be]...it's just an idea that i have based on my own experience when trying to put articles together.

I suggest we wait for the Mukhtasar al-Quduri to be out - due some time this month - and follow that pattern in its glossary. Sure to be a good one because the Quduri deals with issues from worship to inheritance, crimes to purity, and the glossary ought to be good. Can we wait?

regarding the Mukhtasar, what will be the process in obtaining it in countries apart from the U.K? I would very much like to get it marketed in Cape Town, though it is majority Shafi'i, there is a substantial Hanafi population here. I can send whatever marketing material that you have available to a number of imams of masjids.
