Assalamu'alaikum

If you can read the Quran but always wished that you understood exactly what you were reading , then this is the blog for you ! Together we will learn some basic Arabic grammar to enable us to start on our journey to acquire enough knowledge of the Arabic language insya Allah.

The objective of this blog is NOT to teach you to converse in Arabic. 

My aim is to teach you the basic Arabic grammar which will help us to

• develop a greater understanding of the solat , zikir, du'a and of course , the Quran we recite
•  make it easier for us to memorize the Quran or du'a practised by Rasulullah s.a.w.

Here's how  I plan to do so :

1.  Provide brief introduction to Arabic language -  with emphasis on the three types of words (isim/noun , fi'il/verb and harf/particle .
2. Teach you how to identify the 3 word types without the need to know its meaning. This will give you the confidence to forge ahead !  Even if you have no idea what the word means when you are reading the Quran , you can at least tell that the word is a verb, a noun or a particle.  
3. Tell you more about isim - all the information we can get from every isim - gender, number, definiteness & i'raab
4.  Introduce you to changeble nouns (mu'raab) and unchangeable/fixed nouns (mabni)  and the cause of these changes to the noun
5. Tell you more about fi'il - the various types , the information we can get from each fi'il -  action, doer/pronoun & time frame 
6.  Discuss how to change a root word (past tense) to other forms such as present tense form, imperative , verbal noun etc
7.  Explain how an Arabic sentence is constructed - namely the two basic types of sentences 
8. Provide list of common verbs and nouns in the Quran for you to memorize at your own pace.

Insya Allah, if we really want to learn something beneficial , with effort and du'a , He will make it easier for us to do so.
