How does one pronounce the Arabic name 'Qutb'?

Sayyim Qutb was an important Arab scholar. I'm guessing that the pronounciation should be 'Kootib'. Am I right?

How does one pronounce the Arabic name 'Qutb'?
"qutb" is pronounced as "koo-tub"
Reply:he is not a scholar
Reply:it's Sayyed Qotob,distinctive for many books
Reply:It is just like this" kotb


I am an Arab
Reply:"Ku-tab" with the stress on the first syllable.
Reply:Sayyim is not an Arabic name,it could be Sayd Qutub,


pronouced just like it is 爻賷丿 賯胤亘
Reply:Quttib - I have heard of Quttib but not Kootib. I could be wrong.
Reply:Hello, Arabic "u' is not pronounciated like the English one and the strict pronounciation depends on the other letters. Anyway."Kootib" is not right. Kutab/ku-tab/ with stress on the first syllable I deem as correct. Good luck!
