Ishq (Arabic: عشق, romanized: ʿishq) is an Arabic word meaning 'love' or 'passion', [1] also widely used in other languages of the Muslim world and the Indian subcontinent. The word ishq does not appear in the central religious text of Islam, the Quran , which instead uses derivatives of the verbal root habba ( حَبَّ ), such as the ...
The name stems from the Arabic verb ḥabba (حَبَّ), meaning to "love", "admire, be fond of". Another variant which is used as a given name and adjective of the stem from that verb is "maḥbūb" (مَحْبُوب) meaning "well-beloved", commonly written as Mahbub, the female equivalent Mahbuba (Arabic: maḥbūbah مَحْبُوبَة).

Unlike in most Arabic dialects, Egyptian Arabic has many words that logically begin with a vowel (e.g. /ana/ 'I'), in addition to words that logically begin with a glottal stop (e.g. /ʔawi/ 'very', from Classical /qawij(j)/ 'strong'). When pronounced in isolation, both types of words will be sounded with an initial glottal stop.
The Arabic script should be deducible from its transliteration unambiguously and without necessarily understanding the meaning of the Arabic text. The reverse should also be possible when the Arabic script is fully diacritized or vowelled (i.e. muxakkal with kasrah, fatHat', Dammat', xaddat', tanwiin and other Harakaat.).
