Arabic is one of the oldest Semitic languages in the world. But despite its rich historical heritage, Arabic is still bereft of a historical dictionary which traces the first use of its words and the evolution of their meanings and structures. Therefore, creating such a dictionary is of a great importance for the Arab world as it bridges the gap between its present and its past. This task should undergo several stages and requires a lot of effort. In this paper, we present our framework to help the linguists create a historical dictionary for Arabic. For this aim, we propose a platform which helps to trace the evolution of the meanings of a given word throughout time. The developed system allows the user to extract the meaning of an Arabic word according to the historical period in which it appeared. It also provides information about the oldest date of use of the word with a textual example in which it first appeared, and the first place where the word was used.
