Arabic term

التكافل الاجتماعي

Arabic to English Social Sciences Religion
التكافل الاجتماعي هو تبادل الإعالة والنفقة والمعونة والرعاية والتحمل, و منه تكافل المسلمين وهو رعاية بعضهم بعضا بالنصح والتكافل في الإسلام ليس صدقة طوعية متروكة لإرادة الأفراد بل جعله حقا في اموال الاغنياء
التكافل في الإسلام أساس العبادات المالية
Can anyone suggest a good context-appropriate equivalent? Would it be better to transliterate in view of the fact that the term is specifically defined within the text?

Discussion

Ahmad Batiran May 18, 2008:
If you want to use it all over the text, it is better to place the transliteration first and define it in translation, for example: ...Takaful, i.e. The Social Islamic Solidarity (or join responsibility), ... .
Ahmad Batiran May 18, 2008:
Concerning transliteration it actually depends on the audience. If they have a poor Islamic background, I suggest mentioning it once at the beginning of the translation, for example: The Social Islamic Solidarity (or join responsibility) known as Takaful.
Heather Shaw (asker) May 16, 2008:
The text is an Islamic Charter on family and social rights as an alternative to other International UN Charters.
Mohsin Alabdali May 16, 2008:
The word "takaful" has become an acceptable equivalent of Islamic insurance. If your bigger context is Islamic financial services, among which insurance, then I suggest only trnaliterating. Otherwise, what Saleh Al-Qammaari has suggested is good enough.

Social Symbiosis

Symbiosis: هو عملية التكافل أو التعايش الحيوي
Hence the term social symbiosis was evolved
Note from asker:
This was a really interesting suggestion. It is very appropriate in some aspects, yet due to the fact that the term is unfamiliar to most English speakers, I decided to stick with the more common solidarity. However, if translators start using this for social kafalah as opposed to financial kafalah, it might actually become a recognized term.
