Click below box to toggle between post's dark, light and white modes.
         

Mutaradifat ul Qur'an مترادفات القرآن is a book in Urdu compiled by Abdur Rahman Kilani. It focuses on Semantic Word Domains. The method is that the author first lists an Urdu topic under which he classifies various Arabic words. Then he discusses the differences in meaning shades between these. In the end he gives the crux of the discussion in the form of a brief 1 liner summary for each word. In addition to this, the book also briefly covers some other interesting Qur'anic topics.

The book was originally compiled in Urdu. The link to download the PDF directly is given below.
