Arabic Through the Qur'an (Islamic Texts Society)

This is best introduction oout there for quranic arabic. Coveres the many important aspects of quranic arabic in a detailed way. As a non-native student of arabic this book has considerably increased my ability to not only understand the lietral meaning of many quranic words the context in which those words occur is also dealt with in this book. The author has many years of teaching arabic and this book certianly will help you benfit from his wealth of experience. Having said all that it is sinply an introduction and more advanced study should be done with texts from the arabic sources.

In excellent condition. Looks pretty elaborative with examples from Quran. Once I finish couple of chapter, will write a second review.

Need to be advanced to grasp the teachings

Excellent book but written at a college level and so it's not an easy ready for most.

i know its not common, but I read this for fun! it is well written and gives a depth and breadth of understanding of the language that is not found in most grammar books. i also love all the examples given directly from the Quran, practical usage

Great book, but best if studied with a teacher that understand Arabic grammar. Each lesson includes vocabulary and homework from the Qur'an. Highly recommend this book.

The beginning of the book was really intimidating, but the author manages to teach in small steps which makes it very easy.

This is a great book for learning Arabic. However, you must dedicate plenty of time and energy if you are using this book to learn Arabic.

Although I just read one-third of the book, I already learned a lot; but to be honest, I knew the language a bit, to begin with

新米ムスリマで独学でフスハーを勉強してます。日本には、Quran を読めるようになるための教科書的なものがない。なので英語で学ぶしか道はないのですが、以前見つけた良心的な無料セルフラーニングサイト↓ https://www.madinaharabic.com/Arabic_Language_Course/Lessons/ こちらで勉強を試みたのですが、アラビア語の部分をクリックすると発音してくれたりしてとても良いのですが、なにぶん、「This is a pen」的な例文なので、どうにもなのです。 Quranを早く原文で少しでも理解できるようになりたくてやってるのに、He is a student みたいな例文はいらんのです。 それに比べてこちらの本、最高です。 凄く良い！この手の本は取っ付きにくく難しすぎてすぐ挫折しかねないボリュームですが、想像以上にわかりやすい。映画を字幕なしで観たらあまり意味がわからない、というレベルの私の英語力でも、丁寧に説明されていて理解できます。「あぁ…よく見かけるこれは、そういう決まりがあったのか！」という感じで、しばらく独学で無理やりQuranの読み書きに挑戦していた身としては、目から鱗甚だしいです。 まず一番最初にレッスン1を開いて出てくる例の単語がまずいきなりأَجرٌ(a reward)、عَذَابٌ(a punishment)ですよ！何というQuran 読むのに超実用的な単語！アザーブン出てきちゃったらもう興奮。それそれ！そういう例文で勉強したかったの！ それもそのはずこちらの本に出てくる例文は全てQuranの原文から参照したもの。親切に［3:76］みたいにスーラとアーヤの場所まで記載してくれている。 3cmほどの厚さの本でオール英語なのでなかなかの難易度ではありますが、ついでに英語のボキャブラリーも増えるしで一石二鳥。 (本当に全く英語がダメな人には厳しいと思うのでお勧めし難いですが…) 表紙のデザインもシンプルで美しく、ペーパーバックとはいえ少年ジャンプみたいな紙質ではなくプリンタでいうところの普通紙またはスーパーファイン紙くらいの質なのでペンでの書き込みなども問題ないです。 難解極まりなかったフスハーの仕組みが、この本によって少しずつ体に染み渡ってくる感じがします。 なんとか独学で勉強しようとされている方の少しでも参考になればと思います。一緒に頑張りましょう！إن شاء الله！

This book is well ordered and accessible. It is written (mainly, I think) for people who have English as a first language and it is in standard English. The author is truly knowledgeable in English and Qur'anic Arabic. It is clear that his many years of teaching experience have honed his skills of explaining, so that he knows what the student needs to know and his explanations are clear, relevant and as simple as the topic allows. Provided that the reader/student follows his instructions and LEARNS what he/she is told to learn while working through the book, progress should be surprisingly good! The author also makes clear that we must keep in mind that The Qur'an was originally a spoken text and that the language is a spoken, not originally, a written language. What we may call "dramatic texts" differ considerably in their language structures from formal written texts. The author rightly advises us to take this into account. The exercises are extremely useful. It is also possible to look up aspects of the language that may have been unclear before, such as "the jussive". For anyone who has been taught grammar in the "English" way, this book provides a far easier entry to the Qur'anic language than books where perhaps the explanations have been translated from Arabic into Urdu and then from Urdu into English, which is a problem for many English mother tongue speakers. Such books create unnecessary difficulties, causing much to be convoluted in translation, if not exactly "lost." In my case I have already been studying Qur'anic Arabic on my own for some time and I cannot say how suitable this book would be for a beginner or for someone with no formal English grammar background. For those with some solid background in English, however, this book is excellent!

You need to know the alphabet at least This assumed it’s a very good manual

Spedizione rapidissima nonostante il venditore fosse in Gran Bretagna. Spedizione addirittura tracciata. Prodotto eccellente per chi vuole avviarsi allo studio della lingua araba perfezionando la lingua inglese e la propria conoscenza diretta del Corano.
