Ayah Workshop 4 · Al-Fatihah 1:5 سُورَةُ الْفَاتِحَةِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. (Al-Fatihah 1:5) Until now the Surah has spoken about Allah. Here it suddenly speaks to Him, and the first verbs of the Surah appear: two short verbal sentences joined by "and". Word by word (the first 2 of 5 notes) Word 1: إِيَّاكَ (iyyaaka): "You" A detached pronoun ( damir munfasil ) used for an object, made of إِيَّا plus the ending كَ for "you" (one man). Pronouns are fixed ( mabni ): their endings never change for case. Its role: the object ( maf'ul bihi ) of نَعْبُدُ, placed before its verb. Word 2: نَعْبُدُ (na'budu): "we worship" An imperfect verb ( fi'l mudari' ) of عَبَدَ يَعْبُدُ, "to worship, to serve". Root: ع ب د. The prefix نَـ means "we"; the subject (نَحْنُ) is understood inside the verb, not written. It ends in damma because no particle ...

Ayah Workshop 3 · Al-Fatihah 1:3–4 سُورَةُ الْفَاتِحَةِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ ۝ مَالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ The Most Merciful, the Ever-Merciful, Master of the Day of Recompense. (Al-Fatihah 1:3–4) Two short ayahs, but no new sentence: both are still describing اللَّهِ from ayah 2. A sentence in the Qur'an can run on across the ayah numbers. Word by word (the first 2 of 4 notes) Words 1–2: الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ You met them in the Basmala (Workshop 1): root ر ح م, patterns فَعْلَان and فَعِيل. Here they are adjectives ( na't ) of اللَّهِ in "All praise belongs to Allah". That اللَّهِ is genitive after لِ, so they are genitive too, and end in kasra. Word 3: مَالِكِ (maaliki): "Master, Owner" The active participle ( ism al-faa'il ), "the one who does the action", of مَلَكَ يَمْلِكُ, "to own, to have power over". Root: م ل ك. Pattern: فَاعِل , like عَالِم "one who knows" and خَالِق "Creator". Another descriptio...

Ayah Workshop 2 · Al-Fatihah 1:2 سُورَةُ الْفَاتِحَةِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ All praise belongs to Allah, Lord of all the worlds. (Al-Fatihah 1:2) The Basmala, in Workshop 1, had a hidden verb. This one is a complete nominal sentence ( jumla ismiyya ): a subject and a predicate, with no verb at all. Word by word (the first 2 of 5 notes) Word 1: الْحَمْدُ (al-hamdu): "praise" A noun: the verbal noun ( masdar ) of حَمِدَ يَحْمَدُ, "to praise". Root: ح م د. Pattern: فَعْلٌ. The al- takes in praise of every kind: all praise. Role: the subject ( mubtada ), so it is in the nominative case ( marfoo' ) and ends in damma. Word 2: لِ (li): "for, belonging to" A particle: a preposition. Here it shows that something belongs to, or is owed to, someone. It makes the next noun genitive.

Most of what I write here is about the grammar of the Qur'an. This post is a little different. Over the past few weeks our family has made three games, first with the children in our own home in mind, and they are now on the app stores. I would like to share them with you, in case they are useful in your home too. Bubble Buddies (for young children) A gentle bubble shooter with a new Learn mode: every bubble shows a letter, a number or a shape, and every pop says it out loud. Children hear their ABCs and count to 20 while they play, rescue kittens and fill a 48-sticker book. There are no ads, and a grown-ups corner lets you set a play-time limit. Get it on Google Play · Download on the App Store Puzzle Pals (for young children) Jigsaw puzzles for small hands: twelve cheerful pictures, each in Easy (9 pieces), Medium (16) and Hard (25), with a happy cheer for every finished puzzle.

Quran Words Voice Search , for Android and for iPhone, is free to install. Say any word of the Qur'an out loud, or type it in English letters, and the app finds it: what it means, how it is built, and the ayah it lives in. Then it reads the word back to you in Arabic. Everything is on your phone: no internet, no ads, no tracking. How the free trial works Your first ten word lookups open the whole app: every word, every place it occurs, the sound-alikes, the verb roots with their full tables, and the rigid nouns. After that, one payment, Quran Words Pro, opens the app for good. There is no subscription. Some things stay free for everyone, always: finding any word, the 86 particles, and the whole Qur'an in English. If you bought the app before it became free, nothing changes for you: it stays fully open. An example Type hamd , or press the microphone and say it. The app finds الْحَمْدُ , "praise", a noun from the root ح م د . It shows the word in Al-Fatihah 1:2 with the...

From the author كَلِمَاتُ الْقُرْآنِ Quran Words Voice Search Quran Words Voice Search ( for Android and for iPhone ) lets you say or type any word of the Qur'an and see what it means, how it is built, and the ayah it lives in, then hear it read back. It works offline, with no ads and no tracking. It was built for students working through this course, and it is the tool I wish I had when I began. I highly recommend it for your Qur'an study. If you have used the app alongside these lessons, I have one small request. It is a small app from a single author, and on the app stores a small app is invisible until other readers say what they think of it. A rating takes less than a minute and is the one thing that helps other students find it. If it has helped you, please rate it here: Android: Quran Words Voice Search on Google Play iPhone: Quran Words Voice Search on the App Store And if something did not work as you expected, please write to me instead, at sajid50@gmail.co...

Arabic Grammar for Beginners · Lesson 1.0 قَوَاعِدُ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ لِلْمُبْتَدِئِينَ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ الْحَمْدُ للّٰهِ وَ كَفٰى وَ سَلَامٌ عَلٰى عِبَادِهِ الَّذِيْنَ اصْطَفٰى All praise and thanks to Allah and He is suffice (for us) and peace be upon His servant Mohammed (Sallalahu Alaihi wa Sallam) whom He chose. The Qur'an is a book of knowledge and wisdom. This is where our Creator is telling us how to live our lives. We recite parts of it in our salah. Understanding what we are reciting in our prayers and implementing it in our lives is critical. We need to learn enough Arabic to understand what our Creator is telling us and practice it. We do not have to be an Arabic or the Qur'an scholar but need to know enough to understand the only connection we have with Allah Subha-nahu wa Ta'ala.   Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Love the Arabic Language because I am an Arab and Qur'an is in Arabic and language of people of Jannah is Arabic...

Arabic Grammar for Beginners · Lesson 1.0a قَوَاعِدُ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ لِلْمُبْتَدِئِينَ   بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem   Introduction    In the name of Allah, the most beneficent and merciful and peace and blessings be upon His noble messenger Mohammed Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam. Ilm-us-sarf, or word morphology, is the first step in learning Arabic. It is the science of word origins. For example, the word Sarf has many meanings, but as applied to Arabic grammar, it is defined as changing a root word into different forms to create an intended meaning. As you will learn in this book, 99% of Arabic words start from a three-alphabet root word, then are changed into different forms to create different meanings. These rotations of the root word are called ( تَصْريْفٌ ) tas-reef or inflections.  It is considered in the Arab culture that city-dwellers do not speak as good Arabic as the nomads (who are known as Bedouins ( اَ...
