3.  Transliteration Guidelines

1. If an Indonesian term exists for a word, use it.
2. All technical terms from languages written in other than Indonesian language or in non-Latin alphabets must be italicized and fully transliterated with diacritical marks (macrons and dots), e.g., ʿasyāʾ.
3. Diacritics should not be added to personal names, place names, names of political parties and organizations, e.g., Jamal Ê¿Abd al-Nasir.
4. Inseparable prepositions, conjunctions, and other prefixes are connected with what follows by a hyphen: bi-, wa-, li-, la-. Example: fī al-ʿirāq wa-miṣr. (Note: the preposition fī is not an inseparable prefix in the Arabic script and thus is not treated as one by IJMES.)
5. Ellision. When one of the above prepositions or conjunctions is followed by al, the a will elide, forming a contraction rendered as wa-l-, bi-l-, li-l-, and la-l-. Example: fī miṣr wa-l-ʿirāq.
6. The definite article (e.g., the Arabic al-) is lowercase everywhere, except when the first word of a sentence or an endnote.
7. The Arabic tāʾ marbÅ«á¹­a is rendered ah not at, except in iḍāfah constructions.
8. When an Arabic name is shortened to just the surname, the al- is retained. For example, Hasan al-Banna becomes al-Banna. Connectors in names—such as bin, abu, etc.—are lowercase only when preceded by a name, e.g., Usama bin Ladin, but Bin Ladin, Ibn Khaldun, etc.
9. Long vowel should use diacritic mark '-' (dash) above the vowel letters:  Ä,  Ä«,  Å«. For examples: al-masājid li al-ṣāliḥīn, al-jāmi’ah al-ḥukÅ«miyyah, żālika al-kitāb lā raiba fÄ«h.
