This two-volume series is a guide for those who want to understand the language of the Quran, and yearn to listen to it with comprehension. The methodology of this book is that there is a strong emphasis on mastering the key grammar principles of the Quran alongside "high-yield" Quranic vocabulary.
Imam Shafi'ee said, “Every Muslim is obligated to learn the Arabic tongue to the utmost of his power in order to profess through it (the message of Islam)…” (al-Risalah, pg.93)
Shaykh Ibn Taymiyyah said, “The Arabic language is part of the religion, and knowing it is obligatory. This is because the ability to understand the Quran and Sunnah is obligatory on every Muslim, and yet they cannot be understood without knowing Arabic, and the (general Islamic principle is that) every act that is an essential prerequisite to perform an obligatory act is also obligatory.” (Iqtida Sirat al-Mustaqeem, pg.469)
The second volume is a continuation of study from the first volume. It focuses on several advanced and intermediate Arabic grammar important in a higher level of Qur'inic study. This includes topics in Morphology, Irregular Verbs, and other topics found in Intermediate Arabic Grammar study. Similar to the first volume, numerous examples from the Quran have been given so that our focus is maintained. "Review Questions" are included in the back of this book on the chapters that have been detailed. The last three chapters are focused on more advanced discussions relative to Quranic Arabic such as Eloquence (Balagha) and the Inimitability of the Quran (I'jaz al-Quran).
It is hoped that this Series on Quranic Arabic Grammar will allow one to understand and experience the Lofty and Majestic Words of Allah (swt).
