Arabic Tattoo Design: Strength, Courage, And Wisdom

Posted on by

I have translated both strength and courage before, but not in combination with “wisdom”. This is the combination requested by a reader:

Hi!

You seem like someone who know what they are talking about. I am thinking about getting a tat that says strength, courage, and wisdom. I want it arabic because that was the las language that my grandfather learned before he passed away. We were very close and it is going to kind of be my tribute to him. I want to make sure that what I am getting tattooed on my body is correct so if you could give me those three words in that order that would be awesome.

Sounds like your grandfather was an awesome person, learning Arabic! I’m happy to oblige and translate your request.  “Strength, Courage, And Wisdom” is “القوة والشجاعة والحكمة” in Arabic. It is pronounced “al-quwwa wa sh-shajjaa3a wa l-Hikma” with the <q> being like our “k”, but more from the back of the throat, the <3> being like our “a” but more high-pitched and also from the back of the throat, and the <H> being like our “h”, but with much more “air” from the back of the throat.

Below is your Arabic tattoo design in five different fonts/styles. Pick one you like:

I hope you like the tattoo design. If you feel like you want to get an Arabic tattoo yourself you might want to check out my book “Arabic Tattoos” that contains more than 1400 unique Arabic tattoo designs. Alternatively, you can hire me to create a custom tattoo for you.

  29. I’ve visited several different sites for date translastions (written in full) and all seem to be different . . .why is this? I’ve been wanting to tattoo four dates (month, date, year) and I need help with translation . . help anyone?

  30. Hi Jo! The reason why you see so many different translations for dates is that some people use the Western numerals (1,2,3…) and others use the so-called Arabic-Indic numerals (١,٢,٣ …). Furthermore, the names of the calendar months differ from country to country. You can check out my custom tattoo design and translation service if you want me to translate and design a specific tattoo for you that includes dates. You only need to specifiy which Arab country you want the names of the calendar months and the numeral system from.

  36. Hi Rui! Unfortunately, I’ve never been to Sydney and don’t know any tattoo artists there. Perhaps one of my readers can give a recommendation? In the meantime, a good alternative might be to order a custom Arabic tattoo design from me and then take the design to a tattoo artist that you trust.

  44. Hello Max,

    Im sure you are super busy with writing new books and doing other designs, however I was interested in getting a tattoo for my birthday that is approaching soon. I sent an email but Im unsure if you got it because I haven’t received a reply.
    I saw in previous post you translated the word wisdom. However I was a little confused because you had 3 different words. And the tattoo i want has the word wisdom in it as well.

    Anyways the phrase I am looking to get tattoo is ” with age comes wisdom”

    Would you be able to help me with that?!
    Thank you in advance

It comes from an indomitable will.” both of these are for two separate tattoos that i want to get fairly soon

  48. Hi ArabicGenie,

    I have a fairy tattoo on my back that contains inner beauty as part of the veins in the wing, in almost hidden writing (think seeing eye puzzle). To continue on that theme I was hoping to get a tattoo saying ‘ Inner Beauty’ in Arabic script on my shoulder. I was hoping you could send me the correct translation. I’m forever scared that someone will claim to be giving me what I want but really says ‘Idiot’!

    Thanks
    Chantelle

  50. Könnten Sir mir vielleicht einen Gefallen machen und mir sagen wie man Glückseligkeit auf arabisch schreibt? Ich habe schon überall danach gesucht aber niemand weiß es. Entweder Glückseligkeit wenn es vom deutschen ins arabische nach dem Klang übersetzt wird oder eben Glückseligkeit wie es tatsächlich auf arabisch heisst. MNöchte mir ein Tattoo stechen lassen. Vielen Dank.

  51. Hallo Nicol! “Glückseligkeit” habe ich in diesem Blogeintrag übersetzt. Dort finden Sie drei verschiedene Tattoovorlagen unter der Überschrift “Happiness”. In meinem digitalen Buch Arabic Tattoos gibt es ingesamt sechs verschiedene Vorlagen für “Glückseligkeit”.

  55. Hello can you help me translate “happiness and peace” I don’t know whether it would be correct to just use the separate words as a tatoo or if you need an extra character or something to combine the two so that it is translated correctly.

    Thank you!

  108. Hi, one specific question about the words you posted about in the first place:

    If you were isolating the words themselves in a design where each is separate, is it better for the words to have the definite article, or for the words to be indefinite with tawin endings in the nominative case? (I am utilizing all the harakat for my purposes).

    Respectfully,

    RR

    the difference.

    Thank you!
