Begin your journey to understand the Qur'an
Welcome to Quranic Arabic. In this course, you are going to learn the fundamentals of Arabic Grammar. You will learn to start understanding some Qur'an without relying entirely on English translation.
To be successful in the course:
Please stay consistent. Do not skip any video. Pretend I am teaching you directly. Meaning, when I pose a question to Musfira, pretend I am asking you the question instead. Pause the video if need be and answer the question yourself before listening to student's response. I have organized the sessions into weeks to help you track yours learning. Try and complete each week's sessions over 3 days. It would be best to study every second day instead of learning a week's session only once a week.
Develop the habit of reciting the Qur'an on daily basis.
After a lesson, pick at least 1-3 verses of any surah of the Quran and try and see if you can identify a concept you have learnt within those verses.
Always ask Allah to put the love of the Qur'an in your heart, grant you the motivation to keep learning and make it easy for you.
If possible, try and share what you have learnt with others (family members, friends, relatives etc.). If you can share your learning with others, it means you have grasped the lesson which would increase your understanding and you are likely to retain the knowledge you have gained.
May Allah bless you, bless your effort, put baraka in your time and add every minute you spent learning about His Holy Book to your scale of good deeds. A'meen.

If you are able to recite the Qur'an and you have ZERO understanding of what you are reciting and would like to understand some Quran when you recite it, then this Course is for you.
This course is an introduction to the Fundamentals of Quranic Arabic Grammar, and it is based on the Bayyinah Curriculum.
I call this program as the short cut to understanding the Quran, because you do not need to learn the Arabic Language which will take you many years. The curriculum's focus is purely Quranic, which is what you need right now. Hence within a short period of time, you will begin to understand some Quran Inshaa Allah. Anyone who knows the English language can benefit from the course whether you are a child (at least 7+ years old), a teenager, an adult or a granny. All you need is to be able to commit at least 25 minutes per session, 3 times per week and Inshaa Allah within a short period you will look back and feel so happy that you are beginning to understand something in the Quran. I said you will feel happy because Allah himself mentioned in the Quran that, by the remembrance of Allah, the hearts find tranquillity. You will gain the tranquility because you are now beginning to connect with the words of Allah.
What you will be learning within 12 weeks.
The course utilizes your knowledge of the English language to teach you Qur'anic Arabic. Hence for most of the stuff you will learn in the fundamentals, you already know them in the English language. The first thing you will learn is the 3 kinds of words in the Arabic language. This means that, when you open the Quran, any word you see in any surah will belong to one of the 3 family of words in the Arabic language. You will learn the names, definitions and some examples of each family of words. The program is broken into multiple modules. Module 1 focuses on fundamentals of Quranic Arabic grammar.
What is grammar? Grammar is the science through which we recognize and learn what a word means after entering it into a sentence. A common English example is, you don’t say ‘me’ loves ice cream or ‘me’ is a Muslim. Even though the pronouns I, me and my all refers to the same person, we do not use these pronouns interchangeably. There are rules on when to use each.
What Upon completion of Module 1, you will be able to achieve the following:
1. You will be able to recognize the most commonly used phrases in the Quran. Not only that,
2. You will also be able to understand those phrases without an English translation Inshaa Allah.
3. Understanding the meaning of these phrases will allow you to begin to enjoy your recitations and start connecting with the words of Allah.
4. Understanding the phrases will also enhance your salah as you will now begin to concentrate more in salah. For example, when you are following the imam in salah, let’s say the imam is reciting a long surah, so instead of thinking of when is rukuu coming, you are rather connecting words and mentally finding relationships. This will for sure increase your concentration which we call khushuu in salah.
