Quranic Arabic Program

Module AG02

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.

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.

The Basic Level


It contains six modules out of which three are related to language rules and three include Arabic text. The detail is as
follows:
AG00: The objective of this module is to enable you to read the Arabic script. If you already read the Arabic script,
you can skip this module and directly start from AG01 but a glance over AG00 will be helpful as you will be able to
learn the differences in the script used in different parts of the world.
AG01: This module contains the basics of Arabic grammar.
AG02: It includes further details of the Arabic grammar including essentials of Ilm un Nahv.
AT01: This module will enable you to understand the basic Arabic used in the routine life to perform basic religious
rituals.
AT02: The objective of this module is to enhance your vocabulary and by end of this module, you will be able to
understand 15-20% of routine Arabic passages.
AT03: You will further enhance your vocabulary in this module and will be able to understand 30-40% of Arabic
passages.
When you will complete the Basic Level, you will be able to understand daily prayers, Friday sermons and the
Quranic content up to some extent, in sha Allah.

The Intermediate Level


This level includes seven modules, four related to grammar and rhetoric and three related to text. The detail is as
follows:
AG03: This module includes details of Ilm ul Balaghah i.e. the art of eloquence. It includes Ilm ul Maani, Ilm
ul Bayan, and Ilm ul Badee.
AG04: It contains advanced details of the art of eloquence and rhetoric. At the end of this module, you will be able
to understand the fine rhetorical details of Arabic language. Although such details are usually taught after
completing the grammar but we have brought them earlier in order to maintain interest of the student because such
discussions are much interesting as compared to grammar.
AG05: You shall start studying the Ilm us Sarf i.e. the art of deriving hundreds of words from a single word, a
unique feature of Arabic.
AG06: Further details of Ilm us Sarf will be dicussed in this module and you will be able to derive hundreds of
words from a single one after completing this module.
AT04-06: These three modules include large number of Arabic passages of intermediate level and you will be able
to understand 60-70% of the Arabic text after completing these modules.

Quranic Arabic Program

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.

Lesson 1: Proper and Common Nouns


Build Your Personality

treatment which we do not like for us.

Dear Reader!
Like English, the Arabic also has proper and
common nouns. Proper Noun ( ) is
the name of any specific person, thing or place
whereas Common Noun ( ) is the
name of any general person, thing or name.

For example, man, book, city are common nouns but 'John', 'Introduction to Arabic Grammar',
'London' are proper nouns. Learn the following rules regarding the Proper and Common Nouns in
Arabic language.

In English, a common noun can be made a proper noun by adding a word 'the' before it.
Similarly, in Arabic, a common noun is converted into a proper noun by adding

before it.

For example


. It means that we are talking about some specific
man, specific book, specific city and specific month.
When is added to a common noun, its tanveen becomes a single dhammah, fathah or kasrah.

Rule of the Day


In Arabic, there are two type of verbs due to time. One is ( Past Tense) and the other

is ( Present and Future Tense). The same verb is used for both Present and Future
Tense. You have to specify it based on the context.

There is a at the beginning of words with present tense having a pronoun 'he'. For example:

( He hides),
( He shapes).

There is a at the beginning of words with present tense having a pronoun 'you'. For example:

( You hide),
( You shapes).

There is a at the beginning of words with present tense having a pronoun 'we'. For example:

( We differentiate),
( We shapes).

There is a

at the end of words having a pronoun 'our or us'. For example:

(Help us),

( Be Merciful to us). This word also comes at the end of words in Past Tense. Here it
( We listened), ( We committed a mistake).
means 'we'. For example:

In Classical Arabic, direction of a communication changes. Observe these verses:






'  )

' ' ! .

' .

'.....

.

In these verses, sentences of red color are said by the people under discussion while black words
are those of Allah. Objective of this change of direction from first person to third person and third
person to second person is to draw attention of the audience.

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

: This phrase describes the relationship of a noun with another noun. For example,

Arabic, the belonged noun is brought before the noun to whom the other item belongs. The belonging
noun is always in its possessive case (

Do you know?
In Arabic, pronouns are usually attached at the end of a
word. Similarly, various single-letter words are attached
at the beginning of a word. Therefore, one word is
sometimes a combination of three words.

Lesson 2: Arabic Phrases

Remember two rules about the :

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

Consider the example of an English sentence. 'Zaid is a man.' In this sentence, there are two parts: One is the
person 'Zaid' about whom something is described. It is called the 'Subject' in English and

'Predicate' in English and

Consider the following points about the .


In English, we use the helping verbs like is, am, are, was, were etc. to complete the sentence. In Arabic,
these helping verbs are not used. Instead of that, the subject is used as a proper noun and its predicate is
used as a common noun. As a result of that, the meaning of a helping verb is automatically assumed in the
sentence. If the subject is a common noun, it is made a proper noun by adding an before it. For
example

( The house is big).

It is important to note the difference between a

and are either proper or common nouns. It is not possible that one of them is a proper noun
or other is a common noun. On the contrary, in , the will be a proper noun and its will
be a common noun. For example

On the other side

The predicate follows its subject in case, gender and number. If the subject is , its predicate will
also be . If the subject is , its predicate will also be and so on. For example,


( The two men are truthful),

Lesson 9: Harf Prepositions

Dear Reader!
As we discussed in our first lesson that, like all
other languages, Arabic has some words other
than nouns and verbs. They does not make any
sense without other words. They act as a bridge
between the nouns and the verbs. Fortunately,
their number is very limited. They are called
( plural ) .

Build Your Personality


Be realistic. Do not see only the negative
things in your enemies but also see their
positive aspects. Do not see only the
positive things in yourself but also see you
negative aspects.

You are now already familiar with most of these


. We will describe them in this lesson.

In English, there are three types of


, i.e. prepositions, conjunctions and exclamatory words.

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

. They are always used before a noun. That noun is

always written in its possessive case (


). The combination of a preposition with a noun is called

, the preposition itself is called


and the noun is called
. In Arabic, there
are many prepositions. Out of these prepositions, following are commonly used in the Quran and
Islamic literature.
Do you know?
Like English, in Arabic, prepositions are used with specific
nouns and verbs. Rules for use of preposition are different in
different languages. In one language, one preposition is used
while in the other one, some other preposition (not its equivalent)
is used. For example, in English 'By God' is described in Arabic
as .

Lesson 9: Harf Prepositions

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
the target language. For example, stands for with. In the sentence,

( I bought this

book with two dinars), we will replace the word with with for. So the translation will be 'I bought this
book for two dinars'. Similar is the case with other prepositions.

Explanation

With, for,
by

It is used to describe the place or time from where something is started.


Sometimes, it is used to describe something partial.

From

the ending place or ending time of something.

Towards,

It is a synonym of English preposition about. It is also used to describe the


reason for something.

About, due

It is mostly used as a synonym to the English preposition on in physical or

On

For

It is used to describe the example of something.

Like, as

I swear

When is used as a preposition, it means 'I swear'. In Classical Arabic, by


swearing something means that 'I put that thing as an evidence'.
When it is used as a conjunction, it means and. In that case, the noun after it
is not in possessive case ().
It is used to describe the meanings of till. It describes the ending time of
something.
