السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته وسلام على المرسلين والحمد لله رب العالمين أما بعد

A couple of days ago someone mentioned starting a thread for learning Arabic, I thought it was a good idea so here it is. My thought is that we can share resources and ask each other questions about the language.

I'll start off with two great resources that'll take you quite far. They're aimed at someone who knows the Arabic script but not anything else. After these you should be at a level where you can start studying Arabic in Arabic.

1. Madinah series, which is used at the Islamic University in Madinah and very beginner friendly(as said above you just need to know the alphabet). It consists of three textbooks in Arabic, along with three in English explaining the grammar of each lesson, and an answer key. There's also a lot of complementary material in form of grammar summaries etc. Everything can be found for free(no copyright) at

lqtoronto.com

2. Simplified Arabic by Arthur Upson. Another great book available free(copyright expired). It's layed out in terms of 200 chapters each accompinied by translation excercies with answer keys. Ideal for self studying. It can be found at https://archive.org/details/arabicsimplified00upsouoft

Dictionaries:

Main Arabic-English dictionary would be Edward Lane's, which can be found here http://www.tyndalearchive.com/tabs/lane/

http://www.almaany.com/ is a good complement. There's both an Arabic version and an English one.

For modern contexts and quick searches then http://context.reverso.net/translation/arabic-english

is pretty good as well.

I've found over the years that listening to Qur'an while reading it helps greatly in learning written Arabic. It's similar to how I learned English as a child, my brain processing the correlation between the written symbols and the spoken word. Over time it becomes an easy response, to know which symbols sound like what.

For spoken Arabic, I use the Pimsleur method. While it's not free, most public libraries have the CDs for you to borrow and you can copy them to your PC or just keep checking them out. It also helps a lot if you have people around you who speak Arabic and you can ask them to speak only Arabic to you. It doesn't take as long as you may think to learn it, but it does require you to devote yourself and your time.

Regarding that question…

My friend is doing tafsir by his own method. It is really different than common Islamic practiced way, He goes deep into EACH word, relate it to "hidden" meaning, reconcile it with current tech and try to make sense what the surah/sentence is telling about. Pretty much like the thumbprint knowledge stuff (quran mention it first then proven to be right and its usable now). By the way, the audience is small. Since we both are not Arabic speaker, we will need you guys help.

About the tafsir….

When coming to this surah it goes to something like this (as far as I remember the discussion with him), please bear with us, this might shock you :)

Here is what we gone so far….

Daud own superior tech, he manage to extract/melt iron from the mountain by using modern tech method, and used (birds?) to transport the iron for further processing - make iron shirt etc.

Thats why the meaning of word awwibi is important right now (for him), (echoing/repeating) ←- he love this translation, it fits with his finding.

My friend is implying Daud using a electromagnetic induction tech to melt the iron, without using fire or common method, and Daud possess this advance knowledge. He showed me a YT vid where this is possible, I must say, I'm dumbfounded with his finding.

Branching to other surah, even I found my conclusion sounds …weird.

For example: Sulaiman Jins present to him flying saucer, create golem and etc and Sulaiman pray to god these golem thingy wont occur again etc etc… (forgot the surah)

He might be wrong but I do find the surah/story much more acceptable than current available tafsir. I'm not religious myself but his tafsir is much down to earth possibility and might present things/event which we all might overlook.

But…

Before bashing us for doing this, consider…how we can move forward if we dont research quran ? Who knows what treasure it contain inside there if we cant research it ? Why should we limit ourselves to popular/acceptable view only ? We are not fighting the way, we just want to look it from other perspective.

You guidance are appreciated, if we are wrong, we still in the teaching, if we are right, sadly, our audience is small.

We may post or just gone away in future, but thanks for any future help.

Salam

It's good that you have an interest in the Quran but I'm not sure if that is tafsir. It's like if someone were to study madain saleh from an architectural point of view. It's not really tafsir even if you're doing it to learn more about Thamud. I think we should try to focus on the overall message and not the details that were left out(not saying that that's necessarily what you are doing, but just keep it in mind), as we read about in sura al kahf ayat 22

>They will say there were three, the fourth of them being their dog; and they will say there were five, the sixth of them being their dog - guessing at the unseen; and they will say there were seven, and the eighth of them was their dog. Say, [O Muhammad], "My Lord is most knowing of their number. None knows them except a few. So do not argue about them except with an obvious argument and do not inquire about them among [the speculators] from anyone."

I am an Arab studying Arabic linguistics so if anyone has any question about grammar/verb conjugations and the binae (word templates) please feel free to ask. I'll post some templates about verbs soon. I believe that the best way to learn a semitic language like Arabic is to lower memory load by understanding Arabic word templates and using them as a starting hypothesis until you learn the irregular forms slowly.

Forgive me for the delay, brother. I tried to post the picture after my initial post but 8ch was screwed and thought that this thread was dead by then. But no more:

Arabic Morphology (the branch of Linguistics that deals with word formation) is very different from that of the Romance languages or the other languages of the world. Arabic belongs to the Semitic language family (languages like Hebrew, Aramaic, Akkadian, Syrian etc), these languages are unique in their morphology in that they are nonconcatenative. CONCATENATIVE MORPHOLOGY is what it is, concatenative, like how English morphology is. Take the following past tense verb in English: Played.

Play-ed

root-PAST

As you can see, the affix -ed is concatenated to the root verb. However, Arabic morphology is not so. It (mostly) involves 3 tri-consonantals that take infixes (affixes that get added inside the roots). For example, see pic related and this example: (Arabic roots are in capital and affixes are in small cases)

KaTaBa (he wrote)

SHaRaBa (he drank)

As you can see, the roots K-T-B and SH-R-B denote "play" and "drink", respectively. And because affixes are not linked in a straight manner as is with English, Arabic and Semitic morphology is called NONCONCATENATIVE MORPHOLOGY. This is a very important point for language learners who are not used to these patterns.

Alright, in pic related I will try Inshallah to explain how Arabic verbs are "split". You can think that all the verbs in Arabic go through the same process, but some verbs have alternative conjugational processes due to their sounds (letters). (Conjugation = the inflection of verbs, like English: Plays/Played/Playing)

In the schedule, on the far right you will see letters representing the phi-features (features relating to the subject/object, like GENDER, NUMBER, PERSON).

Person Features:

1 = First Person

2 = Second Person

3 = Third Person

Number Features

م = singular مفرد

ث = Dual مثنى

ج = Plural جمع

Gender Features:

ذ = Masculine مذكر

أ = Feminine مؤنث

In Arabic, there are mainly 5 types of verbs and that is as I have said mainly because of the contents of their consonants. Let us take them step by step and see:

First: the "safe" الصحيح

This type contains normal roots (by normal, I mean roots that are not like the sounds (y) or (w) or the glottal stop ء الهمزة because these are problematic to the MORPHOPHONOLOGICAL (morphology+phonology, word formation+sound formation) processes of verb conjugation in Arabic))

Examples contain verbs like KaTaBa (he wrote), SHaRaBa (he drank), LaʕaBa (he played) (ʕ is ع), KaSaRa (he broke).

Second: the "examplar" المثال

These verbs have a SEMI-VOWEL as their first consonant. Semi-vowels, like (y), (w), are problematic to conjugations because they have the properties of consonants and vowels. Thus sometimes special conjugational cases happen because of them. Compare, for example, the imperative form of the (safe) verb KaTaBa, with the imperative form of the (examplar) verb WaʕaDa (he promised):

KaTaBa > ʔuKTub (Write!) (ʔ = glottal stop ء)

WaʕaDa > ʕeD (promise!)

As you can see, the "safe" verb KTB becomes imperative by putting the prefix -ʔu into it (the vowel of this prefix changes depending on the consonants, but that is more complication for later). But for the "examplar" verb WaʕaDa, the "problematic" consonant, /w/, is deleted. This is why knowing the consonants of the verbs is important in Arabic: the consonants affect the morphological process of conjugation.

a2aeef No.27669

Third: the gapped الأجوف

The gapped verb is named so because the mid-consonant is a problematic sound (remember, these are the sounds (y), (w) and the glottal stop (ʔ) الهمزة ء)

Fourth: the "decreased" الناقص

This verb has a problematic consonant as its last one.

Fifth: اللفيف (I don't know how to translate this one)

This verb type is very bothersome because it contains TWO problematic sounds, either at the edges like وقي or near each other like طوي

These are mostly the verb types of Arabic (there are quadra-consonantal verbs like DaHRaJa (he rolled) and penta-consonantal verbs). For the time being, I sadly suck at explaining all the details of them (mainly because I still havent studied them fully to give a comprehensive explanation). However, my aim is to systematically show that Arabic verbs contain a pattern that, if noticed, will hopefully reduce the memory load the learner uses (by studying said pattern and the "templates" of these verbs). In the next post, I'll try to post more info as best as I can.

Disclaimer: this post and the subject matter and contents thereof - text, media, or otherwise - do not necessarily reflect the views of the 8kun administration.

a2aeef No.27670

Another important difference between non-problematic verbs (like the "safe" type) and those of problematic sound, is the following past > present verb change. Consider for example:

KaTaBa (he wrote) > YaKTuBu (He writes/is writing)

WaʕaDa (he promised) > YaʕiDu (He promises/is promising)

In order to derive a present tense verb from a past tense verb, regurally, you would add the prefix ya- (it denotes the 3rd Person, Singular Masculine notion, i.e. "he" part) to the verb. This is easy for the "safe" verbs like KaTaBa, but in problematic verbs like WaʕaDa, some morphophonological alternations happen (alternations to form and sound). Because WaʕaDa is a verb that has a problematic sound /w/ as its first consonant, the consonant will get deleted when it converts into the present form, thus is WaʕaDa > YaʕiDu (as for the alternation between the internal vowels, it is much more complicated. I will try to explain them later InshAallah.)

In the next post, I'll try to explain the Phi-features of Arabic.

In linguistics, Φ-features are the features that denote the attributes of nouns, like GENDER, NUMBER, and PERSON. Compare English Φ-features to those of Arabic (an easy way is by using the pronouns of English).

There are three persons:

1st person (the speaker) = I أنا

2nd person (the listener) = You أنت

3rd person (the one who is absent) = He هو

There are three numbers:

Singular أنت (You: SG)

Dual أنتما (You: DU, two people) (not in English)

Plural أنتم (You: PL)

Three "Genders"

Masuline

Feminine

Neuter (not in Arabic)

Verbs in Arabic conjugate and agree with these above Φ-features. In comparison, English has a very impovershed system of agreement. Only 3rdP Singular subjects in English agree with the verb (He/She/It eats, they eat).

The second picture contains the conjugational table of the Arabic verb NaSaRa (he reinforced/helped). Agreement happens regardless of the verbs' tenses or mood (Indicative, Subjunctive, Jussive, Imperative). One main difference between the present tense and the past tense verbs in Arabic, is that the present tense forms contain more agreement (namely, person agreement more overt than the past tense). Compare for example the verb for KTB:

KaTaBa (he wrote) > YaKTuBu (he writes/is writing)

In the present form, there is an additional prefix ya- (which denotes MASCULINE, 3rd Person, and no NUMBER). I'll try to provide a schedule for each agreement morpheme in Arabic (a MORPHEME is the smallest unit of meaning, like -ed in English, which denotes PAST).

Assuming that you know Arabic, I have included two pictures: the first contains Arabic pronouns and their Φ-features (the keynotes of which can be referred to here >>27668). The second is the list of agreement morphemes of Arabic. I'll try to transliterate them to English soon, InshAllah.

Here is the transliteration of Arabic agreement morphemes in the verb KaTaBa:

SG, M/F, 1ST: -tu = KaTaB-tu (I wrote)

SG, M, 2ND: -ta = KaTaB-ta (You (M) wrote)

SG, F, 2ND: -ti = KaTaB-ti (You (F) wrote)

SG, M, 3RD: -a = KaTaB-a (He wrote)

SG, F, 3RD: -at = KaTaB-at (She wrote)

DU, M/F, 2ND: -tuma = KaTaB-tuma (You (two) wrote)

DU, M, 3RD: -aa = KaTaB-aa (They (two males) wrote)

DU, F, 3RD: -ataa = KaTaB-ataa (They (two females) wrote)

PL, M/F, 1ST: -naa = KaTaB-naa (we wrote)

PL, M, 2ND: -tum = KaTaB-tum (you (males) wrote)

PL, F, 2ND: -tun = KaTaB-tun (you (females) wrote)

PL, M, 3RD: -uu = KaTaB-uu (they (men) wrote)

PL, F, 3RD: -na = KaTaB-na (they (women) wrote

Notice that there is no form for every Φ-feature, such as there is no DU-MASC-1ST, or how the first person is used regardless of the gender of the speaker (unlike Russian where females must use their own first person gender morpheme). Bear in mind that these are the forms used with the past tense, in the present tense, additional morphemes are added (prefixes in the present and only suffixes in the past, ignoring the vowels at the middle of the roots (they denote Voice "Active, Passive", etc))

And with that, I conclude my fuzzy explanation of Arabic verbs. There is a lot to talk about (Voice, Moods such as Indicative, Jussive, Subjunctive, Imperative, Negation), but I'll need to sharp my knowledge more. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. May Allah guide you through learning Arabic.

Perhaps we may share reading suggestions to help build vocabulary. Ideally something that has an English translation available so you can check your understanding. I found the following book pretty good:

الرسالة الكاملية في السيرة النبوية

translated under the title "theologus autodidactus".

Then there's also hadiths of course, since the entire bukhari and muslim and more is available in English online free.

كليلة ودمنة is a well known Arabic book of fables

أخبار الحمقى والمغفلين A book of stories about dumb people. No English translation afaik though. The stories are quite funny. The difficulty varies though, some are easy whereas others I found quite difficult.

http://www.muslimphilosophy.com/ has many books translated into English including The Ring of The Dove

On the following forum people have uploaded school books used in Kuwait. I think there's pretty much everything there from grade 1 to last year of high school:

Most of the larger mosques have Arabic classes that you can sign up to take. They're generally free. The smaller mosques have something set up with local community colleges, but those often cost the college's tuition fee.

Otherwise, any of the Arabic speaking brothers will be happy to help you out in an informal setting.

It seems to be mostly centered around learning vocabulary, which isn't too helpful by itself. It would probably be better to study a textbook and then maybe use memrise on the side.

How long it takes depends entirely on you. If you devote 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, it will be a lot faster than if you only give it an hour a week.

Native Arabic speaker and language-lover here. Here's a nice way to learn a language, or at least practice:

>write in English

>try translating it to Arabic

>slowly you'll get words into your head

>speak with native speakers

That's how I learned German.

It's a thread about the Arabic language so any Arabic poetry or literature is relevant. If you want a thread specifically about Islamic poetry then start another thread.

Arabic is a language spoken by millions of people, not all of whom are Muslim. It is a language in the real world and is not a sacred language. This thread is for learning Arabic without specificity towards the language of Qur'an. Pre-Islamic Arabic is acceptable. After all, the Prophet(pbuh) spoke Arabic for 40 years before Qur'an was revealed to him. If it helps people learn Arabic, it should be acceptable to this thread.

Ibnul-Jawzi's book about stories of foolish people is a goldmine imo. I'll share and try to translate some of my favorites, perhaps someone will enjoy it:

ومات جار له، فأرسل إلى الحفار ليحفر له، فجرى بينهما لجاج في أجرة الحفر، فمضى جحا إلى السوق واشترى خشبة بدرهمين وجاء بها، فسئل عنها فقال: إن الحفار لا يحفر بأقل من خمسة دراهم، وقد اشترينا هذه الخشبة بدرهمين لنصلبه عليها ونربح ثلاثة دراهم ويستريح من ضغطة القبر ومسألة منكر ونكير.

One day one of Juha's(a notorious fool around which many stories have been narrated) neighbors died, so he want to arrange for a grave to be dug, but when he met the gravedigger they got into a dispute about the fee, so Juha left and went to the market and bought a piece of wood instead. When Juha was asked about the funeral of the neighbor he explained: "the gravedigger demands at least five dirhams, so we bought this piece of wood to have him crucified on instead thereby saving us three dirhams and sparing him from the confines of the grave and the inquiries of Munkar and Nakir.

كان عبد الله بن أبي ثور والي المدينة فخطبهم، فقال: أيها الناس اتقوا الله وارجوا التوبة، فإنه أهلك قوم صالح في ناقة قيمتها خمسمائة درهم. فسموه مقوم الناقة وعزله الزبير.

A governor addressed his people one day in a sermon saying: "O people! fear Allah and pray for tawbah, for verily He destroyed the people of Salih over a camel worth only 500 dirham!". So the people started calling him the appraiser of Salih's camel…

كذلك قال بعض الأدباء: قال: سئل خطيب أي أفضل معاوية أم عيسى بن مريم؟ فقال: لا إله إلا الله أتقيس كاتب الوحي بنبي النصارى …

Someone once asked a preacher: Who is more virtuous, Mua'wiyya, or Jesus son of Mary? The preacher exclaimed: ”La ilaaha illa-Allah!!! Are you comparing the scribe of revelation with the prophet of christians?!!"

>خرج قوم من قريش إلى أرضهم وخرج معهم رجل من بني غفار، فأصابهم ريح عاصف يئسوا معها من الحياة ثم سلموا، فأعتق كل رجل منهم مملوكاً، فقال ذلك الأعرابي: اللهم لا مملوك لي أعتقه ولكن امرأتي طالق لوجهك ثلاثاً.

A group of men were out in the desert one day when suddenly they were caught in a sandstorm so severe that they feared for their lives, but they survived and were so thankful that each of them freed a slave, except one man who said " O Allah, I don't own any slaves to free, but I shall now trebly divorce my wife for your sake!".

Brother, bear in mind that there are sources that claim that Juha was actually a revered companion and that we should not be making fun of him. For whatever reason, he was framed as the joke man, but we should be careful not to smear him.

As for mushrik languages then Arabic certainly wouldn't have ever been one of them anyway since it was spoken by the Prophets like Huud, Shu'ayb and of course, the teacher of Moses, the Qahtanite Arab al-Ma'mar ibn Maalik ibn 'Abdillah ibn Nasr ibn al-Azd. Arabs were historically Monotheists, Hunaafaa, and it wasn't really until the efforts of 'Amr ibn Luhayy that idolatry even became relevant in Jaziratil-'Arab.

Mexican here. Interested in learning Arabic. However, I've also learned that there is a formal register called fusha, and the dialect spoken locally. I assume these books (are meant to learn formal Arabic). Will learning Standard Arabic help me to learn the dialects (especially Emirati and Lebanese)? I ponder the idea of emigrating to an Arabic country like Egypt or Tunisia. I'm a translator, by the way.

Almost everyone will understand standard arabic, emiratis speak similar to fusha/standard so you will be able to understand them. Tunisians speak with their own dialect, same for lebanese. Egyptian arabic is probably the easiest and most popular one to understand. It's similar to fusha as well and a lot of egyptians understand fusha.

Umar bin al-Khattaab (radiallaahu anhu) said, "Learn the Arabic (language) because it is from your religion, and learn the laws of inheritance because it is from your religion." (Reported by Ibn Abee Shaybah 6/118). Notice here that we have a command to master that which is spoken and written (literacy) and also that which relates to numeracy, the laws of inheritance relate to calculations involving fractions. Imaam al-Shaafi'ee (rahimahullaah) said, (as occurs in Irshaad al-Fuhool, p. 421): "It is obligatory upon every Muslim to learn from the Arabic language what allows him to make effort in fulfilling his obligations." Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) said, "For the Arabic language itself is from the religion, having knowledge of it is an obligation because understanding the Book and the Sunnah is an obligation. And (the religion) cannot be understood except by understanding the Arabic language, and that without which an obligation cannot be fulfilled is itself obligatory. Then from it is that which is obligatory upon everyone individually, and from it is that which is a collective obligation." (al-Iqtidaa p. 295). And Imaam al-Shawkaanee (rahimahullaah) said, "Know that when the Book and the Sunnah have come in the language of the Arabs and knowledge of them is dependent upon knowledge of (Arabic) then knowledge of it is the most important of obligations." (Irshaad al-Fuhool, p. 38). Source, "al-Tuhfah al-Sunniyyah" of Salih al-Bakree.
