Awrah/Defect/Blemish Explanation: There are many words to translate this term but if the context is Islamic, you may want to use the word transliterated. I suggest you put the meaning in a footnote. http://www.almaany.com/home.php?language=english&word=عورة&l... http://islamic-dictionary.tumblr.com/post/5658467793/awrah-a... |

thing of concealment Explanation: It is sometimes translated as 'intimate parts' or even nakedness as here in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intimate_parts_(Islam) However I prefer the translation 'thing of concealment' as it conveys the intended purpose. In translation I would add a footnote to explain it however if not already explained in the text. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intimate_parts_(Islam) |
