 Focus on Reception (listening and reading
 More Focus on Vocabulary
 More Focus on “Sarf” and less on “Nahw”

1. (Noun): Name ( ) or an attribute ( )
2. (Verb): Indicates the action ( )
3. (Letter): Joins nouns and/or verbs ( )
Let us take some nouns and make their plurals. In most of the cases, a plural is formed by just adding or at the
end of the word. Both forms are correct. There are other rules for making plurals which you will learn later inshaAllah.

GRAMMAR: In the last class, you learnt the words for he, they, you, you all, I and we. In this lesson, we will learn
the words for his, their, your, your, my, and our. In fact, they are not words in Arabic. They come as part of a word.
We therefore learn these forms by attaching them to a noun (Lord; sustainer and cherisher).

Note: The Grammar lessons are not directly related with the Surah that you study. It will be too complicated
to analyze the grammatical aspects of the verses before we learn important rules. We are teaching simple
rules in each of the class in parallel to vocabulary that you learn from the Surahs. As we proceed, we can then
be able to see the application of these grammar rules to the Arabic text.

Our Relationship with the Qur’an: Direct; Personal; Planned; and Relevant
& : A simple method: Follow the following four steps
 ASK: Each verse of the Qur‟an demands something from us. To fulfill it, start with
supplication.
 EVALUATE (your past day or week in the light of that supplication)
 Make a PLAN of the next day / week.
 PROPAGATE the message (The Prophet pbuh said: Convey from me even if it is one verse).
While Making plans
 When it comes to group or Fiqh issues or any new idea, then please check with scholars
before you mention it to others or implement it.
 Then what is the real area for common people like us? Well, there are many areas such as:
Our relationship with Allah, Following the Prophet pbuh, planning for the hereafter, Zikr,
Worship, Morals, Dealings, Dawah, Preaching and Propagation, Ordering good and Stopping
evil, Team spirit etc.

Lesson – 5 Why is it easy ?

1. It is easy to understand the Qur’an because Allah says so.
to understand and remember We have made the Qur'an easy And indeed
The word has two meanings: (1) Memorize; (2) Understand and take lessons
2. It is not only easy, but the best thing to do. The Prophet pbuh said:

3. Let us correct our intentions because Allah accepts only those deeds which are done with correct

GRAMMAR: ( ) : We have learnt earlier that in Arabic, word can be one of the three types.

Note that when a preposition comes with a verb or a

verbal noun, its meaning changes according to the verb
with which it comes and the language to which it is
translated. Use TPI here too.

GRAMMAR (4 tips on Prepositions):
1. Same thing is expressed in different languages using different prepositions. For example:
I believed in Allah; (in urdu)

The above 3 sentences in 3 different languages express the same fact, i.e., I believed, but the preposition in
each language is different in their basic meanings.
For the same language, a preposition may be or may not be required depending upon the verb being used.
Example: I said to him; I told him.
2. Sometimes, a preposition may be there in Arabic but not required in English (or any other) language. For
example,
entering the religion of Allah
Forgive me
3. Sometimes, a preposition may not be there in Arabic but required in English.

I ask forgiveness of Allah
and have mercy on me
4. Change of preposition leads to change in the meanings.
Examples:
In English: get; get in; get out; get off; get on
In Arabic:

GRAMMAR (Revision of what you learnt in Lesson 6): We have learnt earlier that in Arabic, word can be one of
the three types.
Let us study verb in this lesson. Arabic has only two tenses: (Perfect tense: indicating the action which is
done); and (Imperfect tense: indicating the action which is not done yet).
Most of the words in Arabic are made of 3 letters called root letters, for example: etc. We will
learn how to make different forms of using the three letters: .
1. When you say (He has done), point the index finger of Person
the right hand towards your right as if that person is sitting Perfect Tense
on your right. When you say (They did), point all the
four fingers of your right hand towards your right. In a He did.

together. They all did.
2. When you say (You did), point the index finger of You did.

(All of you did), point all the four fingers of your right hand You all did.
towards your students. In a class, the teacher should point

his fingers towards the students and the students should
point their fingers towards the teacher.
3. When you say (I did), point the index finger of your 1st
We did.
right hand towards yourself. When you say (we did)
point all the four fingers of your right hand towards yourself.
--
Depending upon the person (3rd, 2nd, or 1st), gender (masculine or feminine), and number (singular or plural), ending
words of the corresponding forms of the past tense change. By this change we know whether this verb (past tense) is
singular or plural, 3rd, 2nd or 1st person, and feminine or masculine. To remember this feature, here is an example. If
you are standing on a road, you can see the backside of a departed car, truck or jeep. A look at the backside is enough
for you to tell which type of car has gone. So, remember the endings for past tense forms: ( - - ).

Note that this verb is of Type b ( ). Don‟t be afraid of these classifications. There are extremely minor
differences in these classes. The little difference here is that instead of in the imperfect tense, we
have (that is, we have „u‟ sound on instead of „a‟ sound). Note similar small changes in the
imperative forms too. Arabic verbs are mostly of .

Practice the following 21 forms of (1c), (1c).
Note that these verbs are of Type c ( ). Don‟t be afraid of these classifications. There are extremely minor
differences in these classes. The little difference here is that instead of in the imperfect tense, we
have (that is, we have „i‟ sound on instead of „a‟ sound). Note similar small changes in the
imperative forms too.

GRAMMAR:
We are learning special cases of trilateral verbs. In this lesson, we will learn those verbs whose second letter of the 3
root letters is a weak letter (one of the 3 letters: ). A weak letter gets „tired‟ quickly so it does not survive in all
forms of the verb (past, imperfect, imperative, etc). It either disappears or sends another weak letter in its place! The
1719
good thing is that the three weak letters support each other to overcome their „weakness‟! Let us take (he
said) as an example. In the past tense (Root letters: ) has alif in the middle which gets replaced by waaw
in and gets replaced by yaa in (it is said; the passive voice; not shown here). In some cases, it just
