《An-Nahdah》（复兴）——语言学与术语学含义：
An- Nahdah (revival) – Linguistic And Terminological Meanings:
“النهضة”一词是阿拉伯语词汇，源自动词“نَهَضَ”（nahada），其字面意思是“站起”（قام）。然而，该词已开始被赋予一种术语（Istilaahi）意义，用以指称某一特定的现实。这一在现代才被赋予的含义，在过去的阿拉伯人中并未使用。原因在于，依照阿拉伯人所确立的语义，其字面意思与这一术语意义并不相同。因此，在没有语境指示（Qareenah）的情况下，该词不应回归其字面意义，因为其新的术语意义已广泛流行、占据主导地位，并且在社会科学工作者、大多数受过教育的人乃至普通大众听到或提及该词时，脑海中首先浮现的正是这一含义。
The word ‘An-Nahdah’ is an Arabic word derived from the verb Nahada (نَهَضََ ) which means Qaama (to stand) however it has begun to be used with an Istilaahi (terminological definition) meaning which indicates a specific reality. This meaning that has been provided in the modern time was not used by the Arabs previously. This is because its linguistic meaning according to what the Arabs laid down differs from this terminological meaning. Therefore the word should not return to its linguistic meaning without a Qareenah (indication/linkage) as its new terminological meaning has become widespread, dominant and it represents the meaning that comes straight to the mind when it is mentioned or heard by social scientists, the majority of educated people and even the general masses.
至于它的语言学含义，《Lisaan Al-‘Arab》词典中是这样记载的：
As for its linguistic meaning then the following was stated in the dictionary ‘Lisaan Al-‘Arab’:
Nahada:离开某个位置或处所并从中起身站立。
Nahada: The departing/rising from a position/placement and standing from it.
Nahada、YanHadu、Nahdan、Nuhoodan，即“站起”。Intahada Al-Qawm（众人站起来），意为：他们起身应战。
Nahada, YanHadu, Nahdan, Nuhoodan i.e. Stood up. Intahada Al-Qawm (the people raised up) meaning: They stood up for battle.
An-Nahdah：力量（能量）与强大（Taaqah 与 Quwwah）。Naahid 之地指：高处（的地方）。
An-Nahdah: The strength (energy) and power (Taaqah and Quwwah). A Naahid place means: Elevated (place).
因此很明显，代表我们所研究对象的术语意义，无法从上述语言学意义中找到。
It is therefore evident that the terminological meaning representing the subject of our study cannot be found within the linguistic meanings mentioned above.
