The Kyrgyz (Kirghiz) were originally a Mongolian people from the mountain forests of the present-day Altai and Tuva districts of southern Siberia north of Dzungaria. Some of their tribes also lived in the western reaches of the Tianshan Range to Dzungaria’s south. The Eastern Turk Empire had included the traditional Kyrgyz Altai lands and, when the Uighurs took over that empire, the Uighurs conquered and devastated them in 758.

The following list consists of notable concepts that are derived from both Islamic and Arab tradition, which are expressed as words in the Arabic language . The main purpose of this list is to disambiguate multiple spellings, to make note of spellings no longer in use for these concepts, to define the concept in one or two lines, to make it easy for one to find and pin down specific concepts, and to provide a guide to unique concepts of Islam all in one place. Separating concepts in Islam from concepts specific to Arab culture , or from the language itself, can be difficult. Many Arabic concepts have an Arabic secular meaning as well as an Islamic meaning.

From the Aga Khan Development Network press release: " Geneva, Switzerland, 26 April 2012 -- The Aga Khan Award for Architecture, considered by many architects and urban planners to be the most important award for architecture, has announced a doubling of its prize to US$ 1 million. On the occasion of the announcement, His Highness the Aga Khan remarked that the doubling of the Award is meant to assist and support the recipients, many of whom are neither well-known nor well-funded. "One of the important aspects of the Award," he said, "is that winners should be able to reposition their future with the support they get from the Award, both professionally and institutionally."
