Prayers in Arabic العربية
17 prayers this site holds in Arabic, each printed from a named edition and checked against it before it was published.
The Arabic here is Qur'anic, and it is published without an English translation beside it. That is deliberate. The English renderings of the Qur'an that are securely out of copyright are nineteenth-century orientalist work that no Muslim community uses devotionally, and setting one next to the Arabic would present it as the meaning of the prayer. For a reciter the Arabic is the prayer.
These are also the only texts on this site that are not in the public domain. Tanzil grants permission to copy and distribute verbatim copies of its Qur'an text provided the source is named, tanzil.net is linked and nothing is altered, and all three conditions are met on every entry here. Each text was checked character by character against a second edition served independently.
These are traditional texts, not composed ones. The composer on this site assembles prayers from clause banks that were written by people, and there is no Arabic bank, so there is nothing honest to compose from. Machine-translating a prayer would be the easy answer and the wrong one.
