===How to write an Arabic word===
If you know only the English transliteration, you will have to search for the original Arabic word. There is a [[Glossary of Islamic Terms|list]] of Islamic terms, with the original Arabic words on WikiIslam. When you know from which letters this word is derived, you can write the letters. You will probably have to use a virtual keyboard on the screen. On modern operating systems you can easily switch between different keyboard layouts. After some while, you can memorize the positions of the Arabic letter on the English keyboard and you can write "blindly" over the English letters on your keys.

Or write directly on Arabic keyboard on a touch screen. You add diacritics after writing the letter.
