Instead, what if you could understand not only the words in the Quran but also had deeper insight into the Arabic language and the beautiful intricacies behind it? What if you could love standing up for Salah every time, whether while praying alone or in congregation...because you can finally understand what's being recited and actually benefit from Allah's Guidance? What if you could feel confident and happy with yourself because you trusted in Allah's Promise and put in the time and effort to learn the Quran and the language in which it was revealed?
And what if achieving this goal was fairly simple?
It sounds outlandish, but that's exactly what those who have learned Quranic Arabic (at some level) experience. And once you have completed this 7.5 month live online course, you too will know how to understand a huge number of the words and verses of the Quran, not for one month, not for one year...
...but for the rest of your life, inshaAllah.
Did you catch that?
You'll no longer have to rely on a translation or guess (or even worse, have no idea) what's being recited.
You will build your Quranic understanding, because you will know how to build it using the principles of Quranic Arabic.
But how do you actually do it?
How do you learn Arabic so that you can apply those concepts to any part of the Quran?
In the verse in which Allah tells us that He has made the Quran easy to learn/remember/understand, he also poses a question:
So is there anyone who will put even the least bit of effort to learn/remember/understand? (54:17)
In addition, the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: Verily the one who recites the Qur’an beautifully, smoothly, and precisely, he will be in the company of the noble and obedient angels. And as for the one who recites with difficulty, stammering or stumbling through its verses, then he will have twice that reward.
Subhanallah! Although this Hadith is specific to the recitation of the Quran, one of the lessons we learn is that difficulty is not an excuse to NOT learn the Quran as there is immense reward in the struggle and the journey to learn Allah's Book.
It's not just about the result...it's about the path you take to achieve that result, inshaAllah.
Having said that, let's take a look at what both your journey and your destination will look like when you take this "Easy Intro to Quranic Arabic" course with Ustadh Fahim, inshaAllah.
Keep in mind that this course is a combination of two books/courses, part I and II...
Easy Intro to Quranic Arabic I:
- Simple Quranic Arabic vocabulary & application to verses.
- Basic Quranic Arabic expressions & Arabic conversation skills.
- Building blocks of the Quranic Arabic language.
- Easy Quranic Arabic morphology & grammar.
- Easy and fun to study & teach.
Easy Intro to Quranic Arabic II:
- Build conversational Arabic skills, expressions, vocabulary, and semantics.
- Gradually build 700+ word Arabic vocabulary!
- Establish solid foundations for Arabic morphology & Arabic grammar.
- Apply skills directly to 150+ Quranic verses and indirectly to so many more!
One of the students of this two-part course summarized the points above very well in her own words:
"Level 1 comprises the most comprehensive study of sarf [morphology] I have ever seen in one book. This brings the seemingly impossible task of vocabulary acquisition well within reach and makes the student excited about studying the Quran. The study of nahw [grammar] is undertaken in great detail in level 2, whose indexes alone are priceless collections of information a student would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else."
Imagine yourself in 7.5 months, looking back and thinking about this life-changing decision you made today.
Imagine how much more meaningful and impactful Ramadan will be for you next year, inshaAllah.
The boring lessons, the difficult concepts, the unfamiliarity of it all, the long hours and extreme effort required to grasp an understanding, the teacher who is trying their best but not really delivering the content as the students need, the lack of an effective curriculum...
This is all under the assumption that you even have some background or experience with the Arabic language, which most people don't.
The point is, most people think that it's not easy, simple, or fun to learn Arabic by any measure. But, this "Easy Intro to Quranic Arabic" course overcomes nearly all of these perceived challenges. Let's take a look:
