In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
“Verily we have sent it down as an Arabic Qur’ân in order that you may understand”
[Soorah Yusuf: 2]
“And thus We have inspired unto you (O Muhammad) an Arabic Qur’ân that
you may warn the mother of the towns (Makkah) and all around it”
[Soorah ash-Shura: 7]
“And truly this (the Qur’ân) is a revelation from the Lord of the
'Alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists), which the trustworthy Ruh
(Jibreel) has brought down upon your heart (O Muhammad) that you may be
(one) of the warners, in the plain Arabic language”
[Soorah ash-Shura: 192-195]

An Introduction to Quranic and Classical Arabic
An Introduction to Koranic and Classical Arabic is an elementary-level
grammar of standard classical Arabic, the literary norm of the Arabic
language that has not changed appreciably in fourteen hundred years. An
indispensable tool for all who are interested in Islamic religion,
science, and literature, the language presented in this book will enable
the learner to study firsthand the primary sources of Islamic
civilization and the classics of the Islamic Near East.
The grammar is presented clearly and in a logical progression amply
illustrated by examples, most of which, along with the readings, have
been taken directly from the text of the Koran and the body of hadith
(the reports of Muhammad's sayings) and supplemented with extracts from
other classical sources.
