GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Arabic term or phrase:صناعة
English translation:an art

Religion / preaching
Arabic term or phrase: صناعة
وهذا التكوين ساهم بنسبة كبيرة جدا، حيث أصبح للمرشدة الدينية من خلاله أدوات ومفاتيح لمخاطبة المستمع، هذه المخاطبة هي صناعة إلى جانب كونها عبادة، فتحبيب القيم الدينية ومقاصد الأحكام الشرعية للمستمع يجعله أكثر وفاء واستجابة لها، ويشجعه على المضي في سبيل التدرج في الالتزام بأحكامها تربويا

I would appreciate any suggestions on how to translate صناعة here.

Thanks a lot!

an art
Explanation:
المقصود بالصناعة هو حسن الأداء والحذق فيه
كما ورد في قول الإمام علي: الخط ما قُرئ، وما زاد صناعة
فالإرشاد الديني يحتاج إلى براعة وحسـن أداء، أو كما نقول في عصرنا هذا، فن من الفنون، أي أمر يحتاج إلى مهارة ودرابة

an industry


Explanation:
Yes, use "industry" here. Sometimes 'industry' means professional field or domain, and has nothing to do with manufacturing.

Proffesion | proficiency| skill|skillfulness


Explanation:
One of the meaning of صناعة is "profession" which is suitable for this context.

I also suggest :proficiency| skill|skillfulness , which has the same meaning.

Thanks
