Abstract
Muslim names are not alike, and they have been very much subject to cultural
differences. So theory and practice of their treatment should be in
accordance with regional cultures and languages. The problem is of two
parts: 1. the lack of a standard authority list; the insufficient coverage
of rule 54 'names in the Arabic alphabet' of the Anglo- American
Cataloguing Rules. As a solution it is proposed to establish a standard
authority list, international union catalogue or catalogue in publications
for Muslim authors.
