Online Searchable Dictionaries for Islamic Studies: A Preliminary List

A short list of dictionaries well-known in Islamic Studies, that are now digitally available online. There are of course a lot more dictionaries out there on the web, but I have included here only those resources which scholars would be inclined to trust and use, and are freely accessible.

Please leave other websites in the comments – I will update this post if there are some good suggestions.
