Beginners Arabic Grammar Ed 2

About Beginners Arabic Grammar Ed 2

This book does not teach Arabic from zero knowledge. A teacher is needed to learn to read, write, and pronounce Arabic words.

This is a classical Arabic Grammar book for those who want to learn Arabic to read and understand the Qur'an. It assumes that you know how to read Arabic at a basic level, and two chapters are dedicated to revising the basics of the alphabet and some additional concepts that are helpful.

There are thousands of examples, many in a table form, which you can use to memorize for vocabulary and practice by hiding the answer columns.

Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam asked his Ummah to learn Arabic because it is the language of the Qur’an, his language, and the language of the people of Jannah. Also, from Imam Shaa-fai, knowledge is what is useful, not what is memorized.

According to traditions, the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) was sent as an infant into the wilderness. There, he grew up with bedouins from the tribe of بَنُوْ سَعْدٍ (ba-nu sa’d) who lived around Taif. From those Bedouins, he acquired “clarity of tongue and purity of language” صَفَاْءُ اَلْلِّسَاْنِ وَنَقَاْءُ اَلْلُّغَةِ (sa-faa’ul li-saa-ni wa na-qaa’ul lu-gha-ti). From my perspective, Arabic presents spiritual thoughts very well, and the traditions of Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam are concise and precise. It is hoped that this book will help in understanding these traditions also.

Dr. Asrar Ahmed said in his lectures that every Muslim should learn enough Arabic to understand the Qur’an. It is not necessary to become an 'Alim. Understanding the message and what Allah Subhaa-na-hu wa Ta’ala tells us is enough. This has been a tragedy, especially in the subcontinent and other non-Arabic-speaking countries, where people would memorize the Qur’an many times without understanding the meaning. I pray to the Almighty for His Help and Guidance in learning the language of His revelation and understanding His message.
