Introduction
Dear Reader:
Assalam o alaikum!
Thanks for selecting the Quranic Arabic Program to learn the Arabic Language. We will take you through a series of
modules starting from scratch and ending at the height of the classical literary Arabic. At the end of this program, God
wills, you will be able to understand the literary Arabic. This program contains an easy approach to develop your
linguistic skills to understand the Islamic literature. The series of books is name as Quranic Arabic Program because
the Quran resides at the central position in this series.
People learn Arabic due to two reasons: (1) To understand the Quran, the Hadith and the classic Arabic literature; or
(2) to communicate with Arabs in the modern Arabic. This course is targeted to achieve the former objective, however,
people aiming for the later can also get benefit of this program. Due to its systematic nature, Arabic is one of the easiest
languages in the world, having well-defined rules, a highly sophisticated linguistic structure, and extremely developed
styles of eloquence. If you are familiar with the rules of Arabic Grammar, you can learn this language in a few weeks.
About 40-50 words are commonly used in Arabic, and we have tried to teach these words in the initial modules. In
order to understand the Quran and the Hadith, it is essential to learn the vocabulary used in the Quran, the Hadith and
the Islamic literature. We will focus the linguistics, philology and figurative speech of the Quran in this program.
Study Methodology
Learning Arabic by using this program is very simple: Read one lesson daily; solve all the exercises provided under
'Test Yourself; do not read the answers before attempting the questions and once you solve the exercises, compare
your answers with the ones provided to you in the Answers Book of the respective module. In a few weeks, you will
find that your comprehension skills are improving. You do not need to memorize words or grammar rules. The course
is designed in a way that they will automatically become part of your memory.
The Boxes
Following boxes are provided to you for your ready reference. They contain very important information for you.
Do you know?
Interesting facts about the Arabs, their language,
literature, socio-economic environment and
history will be provided in this box.
Worth Reading
Links to useful writings will be provided in this
box so that you can learn further.
Module AG02
Introduction
The program is organized in a way that you will gradually learn the Arabic language. It contains three levels: Basic;
intermediate and advanced. Each level contains several modules which are organized into two series. One series
consists of Arabic grammar and other language rules while the other is designed to build your vocabulary by reading
the Arabic text. We have used the code of AG for the former and AT for the later. For instance module numbers
are like AG00, AG01, AG02, AT01, AT02 etc. The entire structure of the program is depicted in the diagram and you
should read the modules in sequence of the arrows mentioned here. Within a level, first read the modules of AG series
and then read those of the AT series.

Module AG02
Introduction
In the AG series, the rules of Arabic grammar and rhetoric are taught and their practice is done through applying them
on the Arabic text. On the other hand, the AT series contains large number of passages from the Holy Quran, the
Hadith and Islamic literature having extremely rich vocabulary. You will be asked to translate these passages by using
the vocabulary provided on the same page. These tasks is designed in a way that such vocabulary as well as grammar
rules will automatically become part of your memory without any additional effort. The modules are organized in the
following way.
Module AG02
Introduction
Advanced Level
At advanced level, you will study advanced concepts of grammar and focus more on building your vocabulary. It
contains nine modules, two related to grammar and seven containing text.
AG07: You will study advanced concepts of Ilm us Sarf in this module.
AG08: This module includes the remaining advanced concepts of Ilm us Sarf and Ilm un Nahv. At the end of
this module, you will have a complete knowledge of all important concepts of Arabic grammar and rhetoric and you
will be able to analyze Arabic texts from grammatical perspective.
AT07-AT13: You will read advanced Arabic passages in these modules and at the end of the module AT13, you
will be able to read Arabic books easily. However, you may need to consult a dictionary occasionally.
At the end of this program, you would have learnt the important concepts of different disciplines of Arabic linguistics
e.g. Ilm us Sarf, Nahv, Al-Maani, Al-Bayan, Al-Badee etc. You will be able to read Arabic books written during all
ages of Islamic history. An exam will be taken at the end of each level to give you feedback about your capabilities.
In order to set the right expectations, it is essential to tell you that this program is not designed to teach you spoken
Arabic for day-to-day conversation. You will neither be able to speak Arabic nor be able to write in it as our focus is
only comprehension. A religious scholar must be able to understand the Quran, the Hadith and the Islamic literature.
Speaking or writing Arabic is not a key requirement for a religious scholar but an additional capability. In order to
build communication skills, you need an Arabic speaking environment.
We have tried our best to minimize typing errors in these modules, however, if you find any, do inform us. If you have
any question about this program, please feel free to send an email to the authors and also share your valuable feedback.
May Allah help you in learning Arabic to understand the Quran and the Hadith.

name of any general person, thing or name.

'London' are proper nouns. Learn the following rules regarding the Proper and Common Nouns in

Sometimes, words combine to make a phrase. The phrase is an incomplete sentence which does not give
full meaning. For example 'a big house', 'the book of John' etc. Different phrases are combined to make
full sentences. In Arabic, phrases have different types which are as follows:
: This phrase describes a noun along with its some attribute. To describe an attribute, an
adjective is added after the noun. In English, usually the adjective is added before the noun e.g. big

The basis rule of a that the noun and its adjective will always have the same case, the
same gender, and the same number. If the noun is a proper noun, its adjective will also be a proper
noun and vice versa. If one is singular, other will also be singular, if one in plural, other will also be
plural. If one is masculine, other will also be masculine. If one is in subjective case, other will also be
in subjective case ..
There is one exception to this rule. Arabs divide the nouns into two major categories. The nouns
denoting the name of an intellectual creature e.g. human beings, angels, giants etc and the nouns
denoting the name of a non-intellectual creature e.g. books, animals, plants, furniture etc. If the

As we discussed in our first lesson that, like all

Arabic language has the similar kinds of words. We will explain them one by one in the following
tables.
Prepositions
Prepositions are used to describe the position of a noun with respect to a verb. In each language,
prepositions are used in a different way. Due to this reason, during translation, the meaning of a
preposition is not exactly translated into its most used meaning. It requires certain adjustments
during translations. For example, Arabic preposition is translated sometimes as 'with',
sometimes as 'on' and sometimes as 'from'.
In Arabic, the prepositions are called

Commonly-Used Prepositions
Prepositions have several meanings. Their meaning is determined by their context. Prepositions are used
differently in different languages. While translating, we have to revise the preposition according to its use in

( I bought this
book with two dinars), we will replace the word with with for. So the translation will be 'I bought this
