 Brothers and sisters, we welcome you – an honor for which we cannot thank Allaah ‫ﷻ‬ enough.
 Alhamdulillaah, We are once again going to start an ‘ARABIC LANGUAGE’ Program.
a) So, what is Arabic? - It is the Semitic language of the Arabs.
b) What is Language: It is the method of communication, either spoken or written, consisting of the use of words in a structured way.
c) Why MUST we know the Arabic Language?
i. We are Muslims. We believe that our Majestic Creator, Allaah created us to worship Him Alone.
ii. We must know Him, the Almighty, to worship Him correctly.
iii. He, the Majestic, sent instructions to us, (in the Quraan), to educate us how to know and worship Him, the Most High
iv. Also, He, the All- Wise did not leave us with the Quraan - (His Words), for us to interpret it as we feel, but sent the final
Messenger, Muhammad sollAllaahu `aaiyhi wa sallam to show us how to follow these lessons in the most correct way.
v. These instructions and explanations are in the Arabic Language. So, we must learn this Language which Allaah, the All-
Wise used as the vehicle for His Words (in His Book) – and the words of His Messenger, SollAllaahu `alaiyhi wa sallam.
vi. These 2 sources contain the correct information about Allaah, the Almighty and the way He must be worshipped.
The Introduction
1) As we said: A language is the method of communication, either spoken or written, consisting
of the use of words in a structured way.
2) So, the most important thing about a language is that it is made up of words. This is
the foundation of Language. So we are going to begin our instructions from ‘THE
WORD’ in shaa Allaah.
3) Also these words must be structured. This structured aspect of a Language is called
GRAMMAR which is simply “the set of structural rules governing the composition of
clauses, phrases, and words in any given language. In Arabic, this subject is called Nahu
(Grammar) which discusses the change of the Harakas (vowel sign) on the last letter of the
Arabic because of its Grammatical position in a sentence. So, by simply adjusting one harakah
(vowel sign) subtle change in meaning can occur. (From the above we see that we have to
study the Grammar if we want to achieve a good grip of the Language, in shaa Allaah).
The Method we are going to use to Understand the Arabic Language
4) Arabic is primarily a root language and is very structured. Almost every word gets its meaning from
the roots it is built from. The structure of the language and patterns underlying it are astonishing.
Thus, a single 3 letter 'root‘ - (which is the base for the majority of verbs) - can be used to derive
many possible words (i.e. other verb forms and NOUNS) with related meanings. E.g. the verb ‘fa-`a-
la' or (ََ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬َ‫,)ف‬ means ‘to do’. It is three letters and its derivatives point to anything relating to ‘doing”.
From this basic root 9 (an more) other more complex verb forms can be derived by adding either:
a) 1 extra letter ( ََ‫ف‬‫ا‬ََ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ ), or b) 2 ( ََ‫ت‬ََ‫ف‬‫ا‬ََ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ ) or c) 3 ( ََ‫ت‬ْ‫س‬ِ‫ا‬ََ‫ل‬َ‫ع‬ْ‫ف‬ ). These additions, which sometimes have specific
implication because of the scale/pattern they fall on give the verb a subtle change in meaning that
has its base meaning imbedded in this root. A study of how words are derived from the ‘root’ verb
is called ‘Sorf’ which is changing the source word into different forms (‫اء‬َ‫ن‬ِ‫ب‬) in order to express
different meanings that can only be expressed through these forms.
CONCLUSION: Our study of this Language would be dealing with the following 3 broad headings:
I. Nahu (Grammar),
II. Sorf (changing the ‘root’ forms of the words) and
III. reading (and a little writing). Note: a Language can be learnt without reading or writing but
one has to be in the environment to achieve this in shaa Allaah.
