Bayt

Bayt

Bayt (بيت, בית) is the Arabic and Hebrew word for house, deriving from a common Semitic root that also gave rise to the name of the letter Bet.

It appears in several names, such as:
* "Ahl al-Bayt", the "People of the House" (or "family"), referring to the household of Muhammad or to all pious Muslims
* "Bayt al-Hikmah", the House of Wisdom, an Abbasid-era library in Baghdad
* "Bayt Lahm", the Arabic name for Bethlehem
* BAYT, Beth Avraham Yoseph of Toronto, an Orthodox synagogue in Thornhill, Ontario, Canada.
* Bayt.com, a recruitment website for the Middle East and North Africa.
* "Bayt" can refer to a verse of classical Arabic poetry
