اهدِنَا الصِّرَاطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ، صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْر الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّينَ

The key to understand qur’anic Arabic and the original meaning of the words is your knowledge of Arabic grammar, we will be using surahs or verses from the Quran, preferably the ones that you memorize or you are familiar with. The topics we usually cover with students with limited Arabic grammar knowledge is nouns and verbs, how to differentiate between them and how to use them in a sentence, we will study the meanings of the Arabic alphabet, and how to use them with verbs and nouns, the functions of the taa marboutah, tanween, case endings, emphatic and non-emphatic letters for proper pronunciation, and verbs conjugation. Verb forms will be covered and their masders. Active and passive participles, prepositions, relative and demonstrative pronouns. No textbook is need it, but you will need to take notes and draw some tables for illustration.
