The second part is the list of all the names of the tools mentioned in the Holy Quran basing on the standard and non-standard scales. It was found out, that in the Holy Quran one hundred and two (102) names of tools were mentioned, among which forty five (45) tools are standard scales and the other fifty seven (57) nonstandard scales. The format for the names of tools in the Arabic Language is not limited as described in this research but extends to include the evolution of machinery and tools developed in the industry with the time. Lastly ,the additions of standard scales [لijđĘ و، ÙĥĻđĘ ،ģĻđĘ ] to the names of tools from derivative formats was necessary; because quite a number of the names of tools have been included not only in the Holy Quran but also in the collection of Arabic poems and their glossaries.
