Is there such a thing as a dictionary of Arabic definitions for English words?

For example we translate the word "deen" into "religion" or "creed".

I guess "creed" is almost ok since it means "a system of religious belief" but we Muslims consider democracy, and communism, ect. to be religions since anything that dictates laws is a religion to us but is not considered religious beliefs to the kuffar. It's too narrow.

But take a look at "religion" it is defined as "the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods." which is way too specific of a translation for the word "deen". For example we Muslims consider Atheism to be a religion.

So maybe there exists or someone can make a book for different languages where the word is written in english and the definition is according to the Arabic meaning.

For example in this dictionary we look up the word religion and it gives the Arabic definition for "deen" which is that it is a way of life.

Now please understand what I am asking. I am not asking for an Arabic to English dictionary, I am asking for an Arabic dictionary in English. So English words with Arabic definitions that are also translated to English.
