Learn Arabic grammar lesson 1 _ Madina Book 1 [8znWzFVssac]

Chapter 1: Introduction

  • Welcoming Statement

    • Welcome to a new Arabic course organized by Talimul Islam and the Institute of the Language of the Quran.

    • Aim: To help students understand 85% of the Quran directly.

  • Instructor Background

    • The instructor lacks formal scholarly credentials but has gathered experience across various countries and learned from many supportive teachers.

    • Aspiration to share knowledge to help students comprehend the Quran in prayers and daily life.

  • Handbook Introduction

    • Clarification about Arabic alphabet:

      • Common notion: 28 letters; the correct count is 29 (includes Alif, but it does not have a speech sound).

    • Hamzah's Role

      • Hamzah requires support from other letters (like Alif) to be pronounced; metaphorically described as needing a chair.

      • Rules will be introduced gradually about writing Hamzah.

  • Parts of Speech

    • English language: 8 parts of speech (noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, interjection).

    • Arabic language parts of speech: 3 (noun, verb, particles).

      • Arabic noun encompasses pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, and interjections.

  • Alphabet and Vowel Signs

    • 29 letters in total: 28 consonants and one with no speech sound (Alif) which serves as a vowel.

    • Arabic has three vowel signs: Dhamma, Fatha, and Kasra (short vowels).

  • Elongation

    • Alif is used for elongating vowels.

    • Example: Understanding short and long vowel combinations with Alif for elongation.

  • Sukoon (حُرُوف السُكُون)

    • Described as identifying the absence of a vowel sign on Arabic letters; visually represented as a tiny circle.

    • Examples of Sukoon consequences within pronunciations of words.

Chapter 2: Brother And Sisters

  • Concept of Sukoon

    • Reinforcement of what a Sukoon signifies: absence of vowel sound on a letter.

    • Examples illustrating Sukoon applied to different letters in sentences.

  • Noun Types

    • Nouns can be definite or indefinite; English uses "a/an" for indefinite and "the" for definite.

    • Arabic indicates indefiniteness by the use of Tanween—double vowel markers at the end of nouns.

  • Definite Nouns

    • Definite nouns are marked by using the definite article "Al" at the beginning.

    • Example: "Al-Kalamun" instead of "Kalamun".

Chapter 3: Say Every Day

  • Learning Structure

    • Praise for Dr. Abdurrahman's methodology in teaching Arabic through a focus on nouns initially.

  • Declension of Nouns

    • Nouns in Arabic decline and can have different endings based on their grammatical function (Marfu, Mansub, Majrur).

  • Practical Examples

    • Use of Muhammad in different contexts to illustrate declension and function in sentences.
