Arabic Tattoo Design: Strength, Courage, And Wisdom

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:

Arabic Tattoo Design: Strength, Courage, And Wisdom

Arabic Tattoo Design: Strength, Courage, And Wisdom

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.

I’ve been stressing to fine a reputable translating person/site. Thankyou :)

  21. ArabicGenie says

  22. ArabicGenie says

    Hi Hanna! Yes, your name – هناء – does indeed mean “happiness” or “bliss” in Arabic. There are six designs for your name on page 297 of my Arabic Tattoos eBook. To give you a taste, here are three of them:
    Hanna / happiness in Arabic

  28. Mika Perrin says

    Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder.

  29. Jo H says

    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. ArabicGenie says

    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.

  31. Diana says

    how would “Love Your Inner Beauty” be in arabic?
    thank you =)

  32. elli says

    hi there, i am wanting an arabic tattoo . Could you please translate > Sustainer, Liberator, Enlightener, Infinite, Destroyer, Creator, Nameless, Desireless,we are one

  33. rui says

    Hi,can you recommend a good Arabic tattoo artist in Sydney’s East.Thx.

  34. ArabicGenie says

    Diana, there are a few designs for “inner beauty” in my Arabic Tattoos eBook.

  35. ArabicGenie says

    Elli, do you really want to get all those words tattooed, or just one of them?

  36. ArabicGenie says

    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.

  37. nat says

    What you’re doing here is a fantastic thing, and I would be really grateful for your help.

    Thank you so much!!

  44. Jasmine Smith says

    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

  47. Ashley says

    Hi, i was wondering if you could do a couple arabic translations for me. the first one is “serenity, strength, courage” and the second one is “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” both of these are for two separate tattoos that i want to get fairly soon

  48. Chantelle says

    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

  49. ArabicGenie says

    Hi Chantelle,

    I can certainly create Arabic tattoo designs for “inner beauty”. Please refer to my custom tattoo design page and select “2 words” from the dropdown menu.

  50. Nicol says

    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. ArabicGenie says

    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”.

  52. Ryan says

    Hey, can you show me how to write my name, I might get it as a tattoo and would like a few ideas..

  53. ArabicGenie says

    Hey Ryan, there are six different designs for “Ryan” in my Arabic Tattoos ebook.

  54. carly says

    Hiya!
    Is there any chance you could translate the name ‘ Daryll ‘ into arabic please?
    Thank you :)

  55. Cece says

    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!

  56. ArabicGenie says

    Hi Carly! Of course I can translate that name for you. Please see my custom tattoo design and translation service.

  57. ArabicGenie says

    Hi Cece! It would be best to use the conjunction “and” between the two words. The Arabic equivalent of “and” is و . Just make sure that there is no space between the second word and و as this is standard orthography in Arabic. To be on the safe side, consider my custom tattoo translation and design service.
