Thanks to all those who responded to my query for names and sources of
modern Arabic synonym books.  It looks like there is quite a bit out there.

The Sakhr basic dictionary, Al-Qamoos, includes antonyms, synonyms, and
examples of usage.  You can access the dictionary from either of the
Sakhr websites:  www.sakhr.com (Arabic interface) or www.sakhrsoft.com
(English).

In addition, the lexicon site at lexicons.sakhr.com has now added
Lissan Al-Arab and the Al-Ghani modern Arabic lexicon to the existing
Al-Muheet, Muheet Al-Muhaeet, Al-Mu'ajam Al-Waseet lexical sources.
Lissan Al-Arab includes the classical lexicons of Tahzib Al-Lugha,
Al-Mohkam, Al-Sahhah, al-Hwashi, and Al-Nihaiya.

All of these are accessible for free through the websites.

Yes there is one. It is called " A Mini Dictionary of Arabic Synonyms
by Wagdy Rizk Ghali published by Librarie du Liban Publishers, 1996.
It is a very compact volume but could be helpful. I picked up a copy
two years ago in London at
Al Saqi Books
26 Westbourne Grove, London  W2 5RH
Tel: 0171-229 8543
Fax: 0171-229 7492
e-mail: alsaqibooks at compuserve.com

Please note that information is over two years old and I am not sure
if they are still in business. Good luck
