The Arabic Alphabet & Vowels
29 Letters of Alphabet
- Fact: There are 29 letters, not 28 as often taught.
- Alif: Not a consonant; it has no speech sound. When you say "a", it is actually the sound of hamza.
- Hamza's Chair: Alif often serves as a "chair" for hamza (e.g., أ). Sometimes waw (ؤ) or ya (ئ) become the chair.
Three Short Vowels (Vowel Signs)
- Damma (ـُ) → sounds like u (short)
- Fatha (ـَ) → sounds like a (short)
- Kasra (ـِ) → sounds like i (short)
Sukoon (No Vowel)
- Sukoon (ـْ) is not a vowel; it indicates the letter has no vowel sign.
- Example: In tab (تَبْ), the ba has a sukun, we don't write it, but it is present.
Elongation (Long Vowels)
- Damma + waw → buu (بُو)
- Fatha + alif → baa (بَا)
- Kasra + ya → bii (بِي)
Parts of Speech: Arabic vs. English
- English: 8 parts of speech (noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, interjection). For a deeper look at English grammar basics, see The 8 Parts of Speech in English: A Complete Guide for Beginners.
- Arabic: Only 3 parts of speech
- Noun (اسم), includes pronoun, adjective, adverb, interjection
- Verb (فعل)
- Particle (حرف)
Nouns: Definite & Indefinite
Tanween (Indefinite Marker)
| Tanween Type | Example | Meaning | |--------------|---------|---------| | Double damma (ـٌ) | kitabun | a book | | Double fatha (ـً) | kitaban | (object) a book | | Double kasra (ـٍ) | kitabin | (after prep.) a book |
Rule: Tanween and the definite article al (ال) can never coexist in the same noun.
Making Nouns Definite
- Add al to the beginning of the noun.
- Drop the tanween and use a single vowel sign.
- Indefinite: baytun (a house)
- Definite: al-baytu (the house)
Exception: Proper Nouns
- Proper nouns (e.g., Muhammadun, Aliyun) have tanween but are definite because they refer to a specific person.
Noun Declension (I'rab)
Arabic nouns decline, their ending changes based on their function in the sentence.
The three endings are like a pattern: Dun, Dan, Din
| Case | Arabic Term | English Term | Ending | Example | |------|-------------|--------------|--------|---------| | Nominative | Marfu | Nominative | Damma (ـُ) or ـٌ | Muhammadun | | Accusative | Mansub | Accusative/Objective | Fatha (ـَ) or ـً | Muhammadan | | Genitive | Majrur | Genitive | Kasra (ـِ) or ـٍ | Muhammadin |
Memory Tip: Listen for "Dun, Dan, Din" as the foundation of noun endings.
Why Declension Matters
- The last vowel tells you the noun's function in the sentence.
- Example:
- Muhammadun Rasulullah (Muhammad is the messenger of Allah), subject
- Ashhadu anna Muhammadan (I bear witness that Muhammad), object
- Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin (O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad), after preposition
Nominal Sentences (Jumlah Ismiyyah)
Arabic has two types of sentences:
- Nominal Sentence (jumlah ismiyyah), begins with a noun
- Verbal Sentence (jumlah fi'liyyah), begins with a verb
Structure of a Nominal Sentence
Every nominal sentence has two parts:
- Mubtada (مبتدأ), the subject (what we talk about)
- Khabar (خبر), the predicate (news about the subject)
Note: In Arabic, there is no linking verb (is/am/are). The sentence directly states the subject and predicate.
Example Sentences
| Arabic | Translation | |--------|-------------| | Hadha baytun | This is a house | | Al-qalamu jadidun | The pen is new | | Al-kitabu qadimun | The book is old |
Asking Questions
Question with Hamza (Yes/No Questions)
- Add hamza (أ) at the beginning of a statement to turn it into a question.
- Statement: Hadha baytun (This is a house)
- Question: A hadha baytun? (Is this a house?)
- Answer: Na'am (yes) or La (no)
Question Words
- Ma (ما) = What, for non-intelligent beings (things, animals)
- Man (من) = Who, for intelligent beings (humans, angels, jinn)
Example:
- Ma hadha? → Hadha qalamun (What is this? This is a pen)
- Man hadha? → Hadha Muhammadun (Who is this? This is Muhammad)

- Read aloud with proper endings (dun, dan, din)
- Review vocab every day
- Don't skip homework, each lesson builds on the previous one
Motivation: Every minute you spend learning Arabic for the Quran is considered ibadah (worship) because you are doing it for the love of Allah and His Book.
May Allah increase in all of us knowledge. Brothers and sisters, on behalf of
Talim-ul-Islam and on behalf of Institute of the Language of the Quran, we welcome you to
this new Arabic course. Inshallah, this
course will benefit you a lot. It will enable you to understand Quran
85% directly inshallah. And inshallah your experience in this
class will be most enjoyable and very fruitful. From the outset I must
tell you that I'm not a scholar. I do not have any university degrees. All have
All I have is my experience. I went to various places, various countries and I met so many teachers who are very
kind and they taught me many things in Arabic which made me
understand Quran directly and inshallah I'm going to share all
these things with you so that you will be able to understand Quran when it is recited when you pray,
you know what you are praying and when you hear tilawat inshallah it will
touch your heart because you will understand what's going on, you know. We start with our handbook, brothers and
sisters. How many letters of alphabet? Most of us we were taught that they are
28 but they are 29. Alif is the letter of alphabet but it is not
consonant. It does not have a speech sound. When you say ah, it is not alif but it
is hamza. And how do you write hamza? Are you with me? This is hamza, brother.
Then what is this alif doing here? It is hamza's chair. Hamza is very delicate.
She needs a chair. Okay? So here is alif is the chair for hamza.
Sometimes wow will become a chair for Hamza. And sometimes, ya will become a chair
for Hamza. So, Hamza has different chairs depending on what is in front of her.
And sometimes, Hamza feels so strong and she doesn't need any chair. So, there are many rules, spelling rules
for writing Hamza, that slowly, slowly we will learn. You do not have to worry.
And I must tell you something, that if you do not understand everything today brothers and sisters, don't worry.
Because tomorrow when you come to class, inshallah, you'll understand better.
And third day, your understanding will be very strong. And after 1 week, you will say to yourself, I knew this all
from my childhood. Okay? Inshallah, you'll get stronger and stronger.
So, brothers and sisters, we have to remember okay? Alif is used for elongation.
How many Okay, now in the handout, the next thing is
in English language there are eight parts of speech.
We know that. And they have been given here. Noun pronoun, verb
adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction, and interjection. Interjection. These are the eight parts
of speech. How many parts of speech in Arabic? Three.
Noun verb and particles.
Okay? So, brothers and sisters how come there are eight in English and three
in Arabic. But the noun in Arabic also includes
pronoun, adjective, adverb,
and interjection. They are all covered in this category of noun. So, we have to remember. So, in fact,
they are same as in English, but we do not have eight but instead of three. Okay.
When we say pronoun, it is there is a word for pronoun in Arabic,
which is damir, but it still comes under the category of noun.
This is just a general idea, brother. You will inshallah uh
as we go along, you will notice that, inshallah. The next thing is, brother,
the letters of alphabet. Okay, brother and sister. As we said,
there are 29 letters of alphabet, out of which 28 are consonants, and uh alif
has no speech sound. When you say a, it is the sound of hamza. Now, how many vowel signs, brother,
in Arabic language? Only three. Damma, fatha, and kasra.
Are you with me, brother? Damma, fatha,
and kasra. Now, remember, these are short vowels. Huh?
Okay, they are short vowels. So, if I say to you, if I write like this, what will you say?
Bu. Short. Bu. Huh? If I write like this, what will you say?
Ba. Short vowel, huh? And if I say this, then it is
bi, short, huh? Now, in order uh to do
el- elongation, I put here alif. Now, you see the job of alif
is to elongate. Now, this is ba, huh?
And then I put waw here, and it is bu. And if I put ya here,
it is bi. Are you with me? Now, there are there are three vowel signs, hm?
Damma, fatha, and kasra only. And there is a fourth thing we must
understand, and it is called sukoon.
Huh? Are you with me, brothers and sisters? There are many ways of writing sukoon.
Sometimes it is like a tiny circle. Sometimes they write like this, huh?
But I prefer tiny circle because it's it's better uh
when you are uh want to understand properly, okay? Now, sukoon is not a vowel sign.
Huh? Sukoon is not a vowel sign. What is sukoon then?
Sukoon tells me that there's no vowel sign on the Arabic letter. Are you with me, brother?
Okay. Where is the vowel sign here? On ba. What is on waw? It's a sukoon. Why?
There's no vowel sign. There is no vowel sign, okay? Now, now this you never write,
huh? You never write, but you understand. If I say ba
Where is the vowel sign? On the ba. What is on alif?
There's a sukun. We don't write it, but there's a sukun. We don't write it. Huh?
And what about bi? Where is the vowel sign? On the bi. What is on the ya?
A sukun because there's no vowel sign. Now, these things are to be remembered.
And even if you forget, don't worry because I will be repeating these things often.
You know, some of you will when we go little bit deeper in the course
all these things will come to you. Huh? Okay. So, you don't write it. Huh? You don't write it, but it is
there. Okay. I give you another example. Brother? What is this, brother?
taba What is it? taba. Okay.
And what is this? tuba Are you with me? Now, I write down like
this. What is this? tab. There's no vowel sign on ba. tab.
See how you pronounce ba? tab. Okay. Now, if I say like this What is now, brothers and sisters?
tub tub. Huh? Here it was tuba
and here it is tub. Huh? So, there's a sukun on ba. If I write like
this, brother? Tubta, huh? So, we did not pronounce ba in its normal way as we pronounce ta
and this ta. Tubta, huh? And if I put damma here, tubtu. If I put kasra here,
tubti. So, ba has a sukun. It means it has no
vowel sign. It has no vowel sign, huh? Sukun means there's no vowel sign
on the letter. Is it clear, inshallah? Try and remember this, brothers. Okay, now
we come to other part of uh uh
the handout, brother and sisters. The noun is either definite
or indefinite. Say, brother and sisters. Either it is definite or indefinite. What do we do in English when it is
indefinite noun? How do we do How do we describe it, brother? Uh by
using a or an. Are you with me?
This, when it comes in front of a noun, makes it indefinite. Huh? How do you define it, make it definite?
The. Okay, brother. Now, in order to define
an indefinite noun in Arabic, we do not have anything similar to this.
But at the end of the noun we put double vowel sign.
Are you with me? We put double vowel sign. If it is If the noun ends with a dhamma
then we put two dhammas. If the noun ends with a fatha
then we'll put two fathas. Huh? If the noun ends with a kasra
we put two kasras. This is called tanween.
What is it called? Tanween. Tanween. Tanween
tells us that the noun is indefinite. Are you with me?
Tanween will tell us that the noun is indefinite. If I say
kitabun What is the English? A book. A book.
A book. If I say qalamun a pen.
If I say baytun a house. Say brothers and sisters.
And then how do I make it definite? Huh? So
definite which is that in English
we have to add al to the al to the
noun. Huh? So, I want to say
the book. What will I do now? Al kita
bu. I cannot have tanween. Huh? Al kitabu. Al
kita bu. The book. Okay, brother and sisters? Now, you see
as soon as I put al like a magic one vowel sign
got dropped. Huh? Instead of bun it became
bu. Got the idea? Now
if I say kalamun, a pen I want to say the pen. What will I do?
Al kalamu. Huh? Brother, these are the basics. I know most of you already know. But I'm
starting from the very beginning in case there's a one student who's coming for the first time to learn Arabic so that
he gets some idea, inshallah. Huh? Al kalamu. Got the idea? If I write down al kalamun
that is wrong. Because tanween and al cannot coexist. One has to come and other has to go.
Huh? So you say al
then only one damma. And then here comes al baytu. Okay, instead of baytun
it became al baytu means the house. And I should write here
the pen. Okay. Is it clear brother and sisters?
Yes. Okay. Now
we come to something which is always sometimes confusing to the students. But I will explain you.
And I'll keep on explaining you in every session. Whenever I get an opportunity, I'll be
asking you questions. And also repeating my you know point. So that if you have missed it out you
will inshallah remember. Brother, I said baytun. It is indefinite.
How about if I write down Muhammadun? There is a tanwin there which always tells me that the noun is indefinite.
But what about Muhammadun? Is it definite or indefinite? It is definite. Brother, how come?
Tanwin means indefinite and now you say Muhammad is definite. Yes, you are right.
Why? Because Muhammad is a proper noun. All proper nouns are definite. When you say Muhammad, it
doesn't mean any Muhammad. It means one particular Muhammad. Mhm? If I say Ali uh brother, how do you write Ali?
We always say Ali, but truly speaking Aliyun brother. See tanwin?
Now tanwin is normally the sign of uh a noun which is indefinite.
But in the case of proper nouns, uh, the tanween doesn't make any difference. It means the noun is
definite. Uh, the noun is definite. You will remember this example,
okay? And I'll be repeating it again and again, inshallah. Brothers and sisters,
now I come to a very important rule in Arabic, you know, and inshallah I will try to
explain you in a nice way, brothers and sisters. The beauty of Dr. Abdur Rahim's book,
brothers and sisters, as I said, I will I admire it and I always mention it and soon you will also
feel the way I feel it, you know. Every lesson is designed in a way to teach us something.
In other Arabic books, brother, things are all put together like a khichdi, you know, and it it is very difficult.
On the first or second or third page of any other Arabic book, you will have verbs coming in present tense and past
tense, uh, brother, and long verbs, you know. So, everything is brought together
and it is extremely confusing. It's not confu- confusing to the person who already knows Arabic,
but it is confusing for us, okay? So, what Dr. Abdur Rahim has done that in his first book, his emphasis is
on only noun. We are learning nouns in the first book. There are only four verbs. 1 2 3 4 four
verbs mentioned in book one. Okay? Then when we go in book two, brother,
and then the verbs will come. And Dr. Abdur Rahim's method is this that he teaches you one thing properly.
Okay? But then when the verbs will come, they will come in wholesale.
You'll have verbs coming from everywhere. You know? But by that time, we'll be
prepared. But my, you know, method is, and I found it very rewarding, producing good results,
that we will do some verbs on our own which are not mentioned in the book. So that when we come to book two,
you have a good understanding of verbs. So when they come in front of you, you'll say, "I know it."
You know? You'll feel comfortable. So first book is concentrating on nouns. Huh?
Okay? And each lesson is like a brick. We make one brick. So we
study one lesson, we put a brick. We study second lesson, we put a second brick. And slowly slowly we'll build our
house, you know, brick by brick, lesson by lesson. Each lesson will show you something.
Now we come to the page three of handouts. All these things are also mentioned in
the key. But I have tried to, you know, do little differently,
brother. So you must always read the key also. It will help you.
Now, in Arabic, the nouns decline. Huh? Declension of noun. In Arabic,
nouns decline. You already know it, but you have never realized it, why?
You have never real- realized this, why? Now, I will give you examples. Huh, brother?
I'm writing something. You already know it. Muhammadun
Rasulullahi What is the English, brother? Muhammad
is the messenger of Allah.
Very good, brother. Then I say to you, we say every day in our salah.
What do we say? Ashhadu anna
Muhammadan Brother, why Muhammadan? Before you wrote Muhammadan,
now you are writing Muhammadan. Okay. What will be the English? I
bear witness that Muhammad
is his slave, brother, and his messenger.
Huh? Dot dot dot. Okay. Now, every day we say many, many times
Allahumma What is the meaning of Allahumma? Yeah, Allah.
What is the meaning of Allahumma? Yeah, Allah. Allahumma
salli We say every day. Allahumma salli ala
Muhammadin. Hm? Oh, Allah, huh?
Send your blessings on Muhammad. Are you with me, brother?
Huh? Yeah, Allah. Send
your blessings on
Muhammad. Are you with me, brothers and sisters? Do you see any change in English?
Where we wrote down Muhammad, we did not change anything in English. Well, what about in Arabic, brother?
What's going on here? Sometimes you are saying don, sometimes you are saying dan,
Sometimes you are saying then what's going on? This is what we are going to learn
and understand. What is the rule, brothers and sisters? That Arabic nouns
decline. They have three different endings. They can end
with a tanwin damma or with one damma
if there's a al there. It can decline to tanwin fatha
or if you have al, then it is one fatha or it can decline to tanwin kasra or with alif
and lam with al, one kasra. Okay, brothers and sisters? So, what is this, brother?
Only the ending. Dun. What is it?
Dun. And what is this? Dan. And what is this? Din. Say it again loudly. Dun. Dan.
Din. These are the three declensions. Huh? Okay? Every Arabic noun will decline.
Sometimes you will see it and sometimes you won't see it, but we are going to learn everything.
In the initial stage we will see the vowel signs in the books, but later on we may not. I give
you one more example, brother. Now, I'm going to remove this. Huh? And why it happens, brothers and
sisters? This is what we are going to learn. And this is what you will be watching in
the Quran. You'll be looking. When you are reading, you will notice this. You will observe
this, brother. And then it will tell us this last vowel sign in the noun will
tell you the function of that noun in a sentence. What is that noun doing in a sentence?
Is it coming as a subject? Is it coming as a subject of a verb? Uh
is it coming as an object? Is it coming after a preposition? It will tell you.
In its natural course, in its in its natural form
all the nouns are always end with a dammah. All the time.
They change when something happens in the sentence. When they perform a different function
in the sentence, then they change, brother. Give you one more example. You know all these things, but you never
knew why. And this course is going to teach you. Brothers and sisters, okay. I will write
down here. What did I write down, brother? Allahu. Is it definite or indefinite?
It is definite because al is there. No tanween because al is there. No tanween. Huh?
What do you see at the end? Dammah. Huh? Dammah you see, okay. Allahu
gafurun rahimun. Sahih?
Okay. See, gafurun indefinite. Rahimun. Okay, fine.
Then I write here uh I write here
Inna Allah Why brother? I put Allahu there, now I'm putting ha?
Allaha? Something is happening in the sentence. Okay?
Inna Allaha Ghafurun Raheemun
Got the idea brother and sister? Inna Allaha Ghafurun
Raheemun Correct? Now, what is at the end of Allah?
Fatha Huh? Why it is single? Because it is definite. Huh? Say it.
Now, we say A'uzu What did I write down? A'uzu
What? Hey, hey, come on. Give me a break, brother. What's going on here? Sometimes you are saying Allahu,
sometimes you are saying Allaha, and now some Now you are saying Allahi. What's going on?
But as we know the nouns decline in Arabic language. And we are going to learn about that.
Are you with me? We are going to learn about that. Okay? And let's learn the terminology now.
Huh? The The terms. Huh? If the noun, brother and sisters look at carefully if the noun
ends with a dammah be it a tanween or
one it should end with a dhamma. Huh? Be it a tanwin
or a single dhamma. It is called marfu.
What is it called, brother? This you will have to memorize. Marfu. Are you with me, brothers and sisters?
If the noun ends with a dhamma, you will call it marfu.
Huh? You will say the noun is marfu. Okay? What do you call it in English?
You will call that it is in nominative case. Huh? Brother, if you are comfortable, we
will use some English terms, but later on you will be most comfortable with Arabic terms. Huh?
Marfu is nominative case. Okay? Now, if the noun ends with a
fatha, be it a tanwin or be it a one single fatha at the end of a noun,
then we say it is mansub. What is it, brother?
It is mansub. What do we call it in English? Either you call it objective case or
accusative case. It's It's mentioned there. Huh? Objec- objective case or accusative
case. Are you with me, brothers and sisters? Huh?
But But we will memorize these terms that I'm writing. Huh? Now, if the noun ends with a kasra,
be it a tanwin or one,
we will say the The is majrur. Not majbur, huh? Majrur, huh?
Okay? Majrur, majrurun. Are you with me? And in English, it is called genitive case.
Huh? I think it is I, genitive case. Yes.
Genitive case, huh? And accusative case, maybe I should write down accusative case also, mansub.
Is accusative case. Okay, brother and sisters? So, today, you know, you must memorize
marfu, mansub, and majrur. We will repeat it every day.
And brother and sisters, this thing will stay with you all the time
when you're reading Quran. It is in the back of your mind that the nouns can be marfu
according to the function it performs. It can be mansub, or it can be majrur. As you can see, uh we say al
Allahu ghafurun rahim. We said Allahu. As soon as I put inna in front of it, I
said inna Allah. We are going to learn what is inna in book two.
The first lesson in book two deals with inna. Inna Allah.
Okay? And then, as soon as something came, billahi, which is a preposition, it changed the noun into a major rule.
Change it into major rule. Are you This is what we are going to learn and in this you will
observe. This is the very very important. Okay.
Now I made a little song, you know, out of this. When I say
it's marfu. When I say it's mansub.
When I say it's major rule. When I say
it's marfu. When I say it's mansub.
When I say it's major it's major rule. Therefore,
one more time. When I say
it's marfu. When I say it's mansub.
When I say it's major rule. Therefore,
I did brother Okay, so we will remember this, huh? And this will help you. Okay?
Okay. And you must always remember. What will you remember, brother? Pronounce this.
Last one. Dun. What is this? Dan. And what is the next one? Din. In
short, dun dan din. What is it? Dun dan din. That is the way the nouns decline in
Arabic. Dun dan din, okay? Now, I I compose another song. But I have to because I'm not a musician, but
sometimes I get that inspiration and I do it, you know? I Maybe later on I will inshallah. To
refresh you again, I will do it, inshallah. Are you with me, brothers and sisters? So, three
pages from the uh handout, huh? Now, we go to the main
book. Brother, we go to the main book. Ad-darsul
awwal. Okay? Hatha.
What is Sister, the blue book? Huh? Blue book, lesson one.
What's the title? What is the title? Hatha. We are learning hatha. What is hatha, brother?
Most of you know the meaning. What is it? This.
Huh? Hatha means this. Okay, but write down near there in your book. Huh? Just write down, brother.
What is hatha? It is What is it, brother?
Ah, this is a pronoun. And pronoun is a noun. In Arabic, pronoun is also a noun. Okay? So, it's a pronoun.
Just remember it, brother. And if you forget Sister Fatima,
if you forget, it's normal. You should not be too concerned because
we will be repeating it so many times in the class that it's going to come out of your both ears.
Okay? So, it is demonstrative noun. What do you call it in Arabic? Ismul ishaara.
Huh? Those who are familiar with Urdu, they will find the course very easy. Huh?
Huh? Brother, ismul
ismul ishaara. Huh? We will be doing repeating it. Right now, I'm, you know, throwing these
things at you, but please do not be terrified because we'll be repeating them, and it
will, inshallah, become part of your vocabulary and part part of your memory, inshallah. Huh?
Haaza. Are you with me, brother? What is haaza? It is a demonstrative pronoun, which
means it's a noun. Are you with me? Okay. And then, uh uh
In In Arabic, we call it ismul ishaara. We call it ismul ishaara. Okay? Ishaara. Now, these are the sentences, simple
sentences we are studying. I'm not going to go in detail, but very soon we'll go in detail because ours is
intensive course. We will be moving at a steady pace, brother. Huh? Now, as as you know, you're all supposed
to read. Uh, you must know how to read and you will be writing all these things in your
book. And the more you read and write, you will become stronger, brother. And and in the class, if you you are a team
of husband and wife, it's a great thing because you can go home and read to each other
and discuss with each other, and it will help. Every day, you brother, you got to do your homework.
Uh, this is just like coming to a college or a university program where you go in the morning to the university,
go home and study, come back and learn more. So, our course is like that. If you will work hard, you will succeed.
Uh, if you won't, then uh, it will be a problem. Okay.
What is the first Uh, hadha baytun. What is it? Hadha baytun. Now,
normally, when you speak, you
do not say baytun, you say hadha bayt. Just like in Quran, when you stop, you
give a sukun. Uh? But for our course, we will repeat dun
dan din, we will repeat because we want to understand properly. Brother, those who speak Arabic
fluently, just like us, we speak English fluently. But do we know the grammar?
We don't know the grammar. Uh, if somebody ask you, "Teach me English." You cannot teach English,
brother, because you don't know yourself properly. You only speak, you cannot teach.
Same way, the people who speak Arabic, when they say hadha bayt
or when they say Muhammad talib or ra'aytu Muhammad or marartu bi Muhammad, And
are not very sure about the endings. Because that's the way you stop it. You don't put the
uh you know, pronounce the last. But here in our class, we will pronounce
everything. Uh so that we get a good idea of what's going on in the sentence.
So you will always be reading uh hada baytun. Uh?
Hada baytun. Now tell me, brother and sister, what is the translation? This is
a house, isn't it? Indefinite. Uh? Indefinite. This is a house. Okay. Now I think you have understood this, so I'm
going to erase it. I'm going to hada
Uh? See, it is pronounced like hada. Uh? But this alif is not written. Uh?
It is explained in the key, also. So it is hada. Uh? Okay. Hada means this.
And baytun means a house.
Are you with me, brother and sisters? Now what you say then English that this is a
house. Okay. I see this here, hada.
I see a house here, baytun. But I don't think I don't see anything similar to is in Arabic.
Are you with me when I explain, uh brother Muhammad? Uh? You say
this, which is equal to hada.
And you say a house, baytun. What about is? So what is is?
Okay? We go to English grammar. Huh?
Is are and am,
these are linking verbs in English. We call it copula. Huh?
Copula verbs. All right, brothers and sisters? They are intransitive verbs, but I will
not go in detail in intransitive. But, they are called copula verbs. It means they are linking verbs.
They link one noun with another noun.
Okay? Or, it links the subject with the other noun. Okay? They are called linking word in
English. They do not exist in Arabic language. They are not there. Huh? There's no
need. Okay? When you say Haza qalamun, we only said two word. This
a pen. But, you will translate this is a pen. But, in Arabic, what will you say? Haza
qalamun. You will say Haza kitabun. Huh? There's no is or am
or are in Arabic. So, you have to keep that in mind. Huh? And, what are they called in is, are, am are called in in
English grammar? Copula verbs. Huh? Yes, brother. Haza qalamun, we only said two word.
This a pen. But, you will translate this is a pen.
But in Arabic, what will you say? Hatha qalamun. You will say hatha kitabun.
Huh? There is no is or am or are in Arabic. So, you have to keep that in mind. Huh? And what are they
called in is are am are called in in English grammar? Copula verbs. Huh? Yes. So, in Arabic, there is no linking verb.
There's no linking verb. We It is understood to be We understand it, but it's not there.
Okay, brother and sisters? Okay? So, the first picture says hatha baytun. What is the next one, brother?
Hatha masjidun. Okay? And the next word? Hatha babun. Okay? What is the next word?
Hatha kitabun. You will have to say bun properly. Huh? Remember. Bun dan din. You must say properly. Okay? Hatha

Huh? What is written there? Ma hatha.
Huh? Ma is used for asking question. Huh? It is It means what. Huh?
There is a name in it. Huh? Uh but we won't go in detail right now. Later on we will go in detail and learn
all the names there that are for uh for the nouns and the particles for asking question later on. Inshallah.
Okay. So when you ask a question you say ma hatha.
What is the meaning? Again is is is not there. Ma means what? Hatha means this.
What this? No, but it is what is this? Because the copula verbs are not in Arabic. Okay, linking verbs are not
there. Ma hatha. What is the answer? Hatha baytun. This is a house. What is this? This is a house. Okay, brother.
Now I come something here. Hatha baytun. This is a statement.
This is a house. How do I change that into a question? Huh? By just putting
hamza. What will you say now? A hatha
baytun? But then you will have to put a question mark. And you have to even
change your tone. A hatha baytun. Are you asking a question? So you your
tone has changed. Huh? This is a house. Huh? Let me write down properly. Huh?
This is a house.
Okay, brother and sister. This is a house. How about here? Is this a house?
Is this a house? Huh? So this putting hamza in front of a statement
brother, changes into a question. Are you with me? No other changes. Just
by putting hamza in front of a sentence, you change into a a question. Huh? Are you with me,
brothers? Okay. And what is the answer?
Na'am. Huh? What is the answer? Na'am. Okay?
Or if it is negation, you will say la. Okay, brother. What is na'am and la? What are they?

Uh I I I do not expect you to know everything tomorrow. Huh? But this little note that you are
writing will help you later on. Inshallah, someday will you will stand up and teach. Huh? So, you remember
everything in Arabic can be divided into three groups. And what are they? Nouns, verbs, and particles. Everything
in Arabic language you can put it into three groups. Okay. What is haza? It's a noun. What is bait? It's a noun. Oh,
then what is naam? It's a harf. Harf jawab.
Huh? Particle of particle of answering. Huh? And what is la? Harf jawab. Huh?
Okay, brother? Uh you know, you use a here. This is This is also a particle.
Okay? But ma is ism. Now, I'm only telling you you want to
write it down, you write it down. I do not expect you to know it by tomorrow. I I don't expect you, brother.
But slowly, slowly this thing will really make a lot of sense to you. When we do
later on in book three detailed analysis of everything, then these things will come back to you.
Uh right now, if you want, I'm just throwing at you. If you can understand and retain in your mind, alhamdulillah.
If you forget, you don't worry. Uh don't blame yourself. Huh? Because we'll be repeating it, inshallah. Okay,
brother? A hadha baytun? Na'am.
Yes. Hadha baytun. Wa hadha? What is this?
Hadha qamisun. Remember. We got to pronounce it.
Qamisun. Okay, brother? A hadha sarirun?
La. Hadha kursiyun. Are you with me, brother and sisters?
Hadha kursiyun. Okay? Again, what is la? It's a particle. Harfu jawab, huh? Particle of
answering. Okay? A hadha miftahun?
La. Hadha qalamun. Hadha qalamun.
Ma hadha? Hadha najmun. The pictures are there, so it's easy,
but I hope you will put little time and memorize the vocab. Inshallah, it will help you. Huh? Every
effort inshallah will make you better and better. Brother, let me tell you one more thing.
This is what I believe, and I always mention in the class. I'll I'll mention it now, brother and sisters.
Some of you are coming from far, from Pickering, uh from Brampton,
and maybe still further, I don't know. Okay? From Oakville, maybe. Brother, every
minute that you are spending to come to learn Arabic, the time that you are driving,
huh? The time that you spent at home to revise your lessons, to do your
homework, the time that you sit in the class, inshallah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
will treat it as your ibadah. You know why? Because we are learning the language of
the Quran for the love of Quran. No other reason. No dunya here. Only akhirah.
We are learning Arabic for the love of Allah. Are you with me, brothers and sisters?
So every minute that you'll spend in the class, in your car, at home, doing your homework, inshallah, Allah subhana wa
ta'ala, in his infinite mercy, will treat it as if you are doing his ibadat. Because we are doing for his love and
for the love of his book, inshallah. Okay.
Now, brother, ma is what? And man is who? Are you with me?
Now, there's another difference, brother. Uh in the whole universe,
you know, there are two types of aqil, having intelligence,
or they are ghair aqil, with no intelligence. Are you with me?
Human beings have intelligent, but things have no intelligence. Pen doesn't have intelligence.
Okay, kitab doesn't have intelligence. We have intelligence, huh? So anything which is aqil,
have having intelligence, when you want to find out about that, you will use man.
When you want to find out about things, you will use ma.
Huh? Now, the scholars define that
the aqil, you know, group consist of three
creations. One is the human being, other is malaikah,
and the third one is jinn. You like it or not, they also have intelligence.
Jinn have intelligence, okay? So, when you refer to human beings, malaika, and jinn, you use man.
For the rest of the things, it is ma. Are you with me, brothers? So, you can say
ma haza. Are you with me? You can say ma haza, haza kalam. But if I point to brother
Muhammad and say I cannot say ma haza, I will say man haza.
What will I say? Man haza, and my answer will be haza Muhammadun. Are you with me? I'm not pointing out to
female now because of a reason that I'll explain you in next class. And from next class onwards,
I'll be pointing out to sisters also. If I point out to this brother,
I will say man haza. Then the answer will be haza Hassan, Hassanun.
Huh? Hassanun. And then if I point out to the third gentleman, again I will say man haza, I
will say haza Abdul Samad. Are you with me, brothers and sisters?
So, for human beings, anything aql or rational, rational nouns, we use man. For ghair
aql or irrational nouns, we use ma. Simple, brother. So, let's see now. To the Look at the picture, and what is
the question? Man haza. Haza
tabibun. What is the meaning of tabibun? Doctor. Got the idea? Haza tabibun. Man haza.
Haza waladun. Got the idea, brothers and sisters?
The next one, man haza, he has got his little uh uh bag, school bag with him. Man hadha?

a human being. Pointing out to human being. Man had that. Had that.
Mudarisun. Mu- Mudarisun. Had that Mudarisun. Remember sun, huh? Had that Kamisun?
La. Had that. Mindilun. What is the meaning of Mindilun?
Handkerchief. Handkerchief. So, we have to remember all these vocab, huh, brother?

Mahaza? Had that Kalamun. Huh? Okay. You can repeat Mahaza also, inshallah. Okay?
Number two. Had that. Now, brothers and sisters,
I found this very difficult. And if you find it difficult, uh
I I think it's okay. It It's It's normal, you know? Because the vowel signs are not given.
You know? So, we got to remember the vowel signs. Mhm? If we say Had that Kalabun,
that will be wrong. Had that Kalbun because there is a sukun on lam. So, what will you do, brother, at home when
you will write? You'll make sure that your vowel signs are properly put. Are you with me, brothers
and sisters? Huh? If you will make an effort, Allah will make it easy for us. If you won't make
an effort, uh brother, it won't work. Okay? So,
Kalbun. Huh? Anytime you have a problem, whether it is a sukun or a
a proper vowel sign, you go back to the first lesson. That's why I always say, you know,
mhm, we are barely uh, we are barely in the first lesson and
Dr. Abdur Rahim thinks you know all the vowel signs. But for us, it's kind of a difficult.
Uh, yes, brother Abdul Rahim. For the body parts, would you say man? You say ma.

Huh? This class brother and sister, today was our first

reason they cannot come on the first day, but second day they will come, inshallah. Brother and sister, our class
timing is 9:30 to 12:30. And we'll take about 15 to 20 minutes break.
And inshallah, we'll make arrangements for tea and, you know, so that you can refresh yourself.
And uh Fatima pointed out to me something uh on page number 10
brother and sisters. At the end of the page
the question is What is this? Do you see that, brother and sisters?
What is this? What is the meaning of what? And.
And. What means and? Okay. You know
that Arabic language you can put it into three groups. So, what is what? Is it a noun?
Is it a verb? What is it? What I didn't say?
What's particle? So, it's a particle. Are you with me? It is a verb.
We call it a verb or a noun. So, remember, but you do not have to memorize now.
I'm only pointing out to you. Later on, I will be repeating it over and over and inshallah, you will you will get into
your you know, memory. So, what means and. In English, we call it conjunction. And in Arabic, we call it ataf.
Huh? Ataf. Okay? Well, as I said, you can write it down,
but you don't have to really memorize it. Huh? Waw is
waw is ataf.
Okay, ataf. Okay. In English, we call it conjunction.
We say harfu ataf. Huh? So,
you say ma is a ism. Ma is a ism. So, is the man?
Man is also ism. Man is also ism, huh? Slowly, slowly, we will get into it.
Uh, if if I say something and if you can write it, good enough.
Uh, but don't, you know, sit down to memorize it. It will come to us in the course of our class. Sister Naima?
Ism? Huh? Ismun. Huh?
Ismun. Huh? Which means noun. Huh? Okay? Uh, see, everything is there in the handouts, Sister Naima. If it is damir,
which is pronoun, then if it is adjective, it is not. And if it is adverb, it is zarf. But
again, as I said, when we move slowly, slowly ahead, they will become you will become very familiar
with them, inshallah. Hm? So, you got that done.
And uh, now we come to zalika. Brother,
What is hadha? This. This.
More than that, it's a pronoun. What kind of pronoun? Demonstrative pronoun.
And what do we call in Arabic? Ismu ishara. Huh? Again, as I said, don't
get like uh stressed that I have to memorize it. No. I will be repeating it. I'm saying to
you ismu ishara. After a little while, you will know it is ismu ishara. Okay. Now, what is the difference between this
and that? Huh? This you use for pointing out things which are closer to you.
And that you say for far things, huh? So, who if both are
pronouns, demonstrative pronouns. In uh in Arabic, we'll say
hadha ismul ishara lil karib. For something that is closer. Huh? And thalika ismu ishara
ismul ishara lil ba'id. Huh? Very simple. Very simple. Okay? So, hadha qalamun
hadha bab thalika babun. What did I say? hadha qalamun thalika babun. So, when I have to point
out something which is far, you just use thalika. Ready, brother? The question ma is same, huh? Ma thalika?

Sugar is derived from sugar. Sugar is derived from sugar. Are you
with me, brothers? Now, again, the same thing. Doctor Abdul Rahim thinks you know all
the vowel signs. No more vowel signs, but you will write down. Read and write. This
is a sister Selima you say
whenever there is a shadow give justice to shadow and pronounce it properly okay
so now you see if I write down to you
how will you pronounce I do not put vowel sign how do you know it is key tabun
because it will come to in your mind so when you see this
it will come to your mind that it is suka shadow on car room so every
letter in Arabic every word in Arabic inshallah slowly slowly your mind you know will retain it
and you will inshallah find it easy brothers and sisters those who know Urdu when you read Urdu are there any vowel
signs or ask somebody else who doesn't know Urdu to come and read Urdu paper
they'll get lost but you don't get lost why because your mind can identify without
the vowel signs and inshallah same thing will happen to us but it will be a slow process and it will be easier if you put
an effort into it inshallah so brother the first word hada sukkarun
wa dhalika labanun this is a sugar and that is a milk next one brother

Just tell me, translate, brother and sisters. Al- qalamu maksurun. Say it loudly.
The pen. What did you say? The pen. Huh? You started the sentence with
the pen. The pen is broken. You started with that. Huh? Okay.
Now, uh we go to page number four in your handout. Keep your handouts open,
brother and sisters. We are all adults here. Inshallah, you will understand very well. Huh?
What we are covering in one session, brother and sisters, it will take two, three sessions in the weekly course, you
know. Okay. What is sentence, brother?
When you say a sentence, in Arabic, we'll say al-jumlah. Al-jumlah. Huh? The sentence or a sentence. Jumlah.
Okay. What is the meaning of sentence, brother? Huh?
What is the meaning of it? Sentence is a group of words which make complete sense, brother.
If it does not a group of words which does not make complete sense, then it is not a sentence. Then we can call it a
phrase. Or a Okay, we call it a phrase. Huh?
So, here we are concerned with sentence. Okay. Now, brother and sisters,
in Arabic language, there are two kinds of sentences. How many kinds? Two kinds.
One is called al-jumlah. And other is called al-jumlah. Feel. Remember, feel means verb.
Feel. Feel. Means verb. Are you with me, brothers and
sisters? Fi'lun means verb. Okay. So, it's very simple. Al-jumlah ismiyyah
What do we call in English? Nominal sentence. Will
begin with a noun. And al-jumlah fi'liyyah
in English, verbal sentence, will begin with a verb. Okay, fine.
Easy. Very easy. As I promised you, it's all halwa puri, brother.
Okay? But But we will have to be prepared for some hard chickpeas, also. Okay, brother.
If it is a sentence, be it a nominal or verbal,
be it a jumlah ismiyyah or al-jumlah fi'liyyah, what are we looking into it? What are we looking into it?
You see, my approach is that I I tell you all these things in the beginning so that
slowly slowly you are getting stronger. And at the same time, I tell you not to worry if you
uh forget or if you do not understand completely, don't worry. It will come to
you if you will come to the class. Things will be repeated and you will learn more about it, inshallah.
Well, let's start about in English. A nominal sentence has two parts.
Mhm? It's broken into two sections. Section number one, subject. What is section number two?
Predicate. Huh? Subject is a noun that we are talking about.
And predicate is an statement about the noun noun. It gives a little more
detail. What do we call subject in Arabic?
Huh? So, you are going to learn that thing. But if you do not uh retain today, don't worry. It will
come to you slowly. Subject in Arabic is called Subject in Arabic is called al
mubtada. Huh? Al mubtada.
Or you can simply say mubtada. What will you say? Mubtada. Those who know Urdu, for them it's very easy
because they use mubtada. Just say ibtida hoti hai. Things with which you begin something.
Mubtada. Huh? What is the meaning of mubtada? The thing which begins with.
Okay? Something that is used to begin something. Mubtada. Okay? Subject. And what is
uh called uh predicate in Arabic? Very simple. Khabar.
Aaj ki taza khabar kya hai? Huh? Khabar. Al khabaru.
Or you will say khabar. Are you with me?
So, what does khabar mean? Khabar means news. What is the meaning of khabar?
News. Huh? But as I said, brother, in English, we have subject and
predicate. Are you with me? But in Arabic, we have mubtada
and khabar. and khabar. Are you with me, brother? Huh?
Subject, predicate. Subject means mubtada. Predicate means khabar. Every sentence, if it is a jumla ismiya,
are you with me? Every sentence, if it is a jumla ismiya, will have these two parts.
There will be a subject and there will be a predicate. Now, in the beginning, we are dealing
with simple sentences. As we go deeper and deeper, then we will be learning lot more.
Things will get little complicated. But, brothers and sisters, I have experienced something.
The more the complicate a thing becomes, more interesting it becomes. Huh? It's It becomes very interesting.
Because then, you know, Arabic is like mathematics and algebra. Like a science. Everything is scientific in Arabic.
Brother, it Arabic is such a beautiful language. And it's easy to learn. Remember my word.
It's easy to learn. And I will prove it to you. Huh?
But, you got to work hard. If you don't work hard, then you'll find it very difficult. But, if you work hard, it's
very easy, very enjoyable, brother. Very enjoyable. Okay, so we are going to learn more about nominal sentence.
Nominal sentence has two parts. Are you with me, brother? And one is subject and one is predicate.
And in Arabic, we'll say it has mubtada and it has got khabar. Fine, brother? I ask you something.
Can you form a simple sentence in English, sister Salma? Form any simple sentence.
Hm? This is a pen. What did you say? This is a pen. Huh?
Huh? Now, I think you know how to say What will you say?
Al-qalamu jadidun. What will you say? Al-qalamu jadidun.
Same thing here. Al-kitabu jadidun.
Or if it is an old book, what will you say? Al-kitabu qadim. But remember you always
started with al. This is what I want to point out. If you make a simple English sentence, you'll
always begin with the. We have never thought about it. But now you can think about it. Huh? You
will always say the car is beautiful. The car is new. The house is big. Huh? The boy is intelligent. The girl You
always the girl is beautiful. Huh? Okay? Uh the the the the chair is new. The chair is broken. The house is broken.
You will always start with What did you start with? The. It means you started with a definite noun. So, it
means subject is always definite. definite. It means mubtada will be
always definite. Are you with me? Mubtada will be most of
the time it is definite. Huh? There will sometimes it will will
be indefinite, but most of the time it will be definite. Huh? And then, brother, what about the khabar?
Khabar will be most of the time indefinite. Huh? The house is new. Huh? No, mind you,
when you say new, it is an adjective. So, you won't say
a in it because it's an adjective. Huh? But, if I say
Muhammadun Muhammad is a doctor.
So, what will you say? Muhammadun tabibun Huh? So, tabibun is a indefinite. Are you with me?
If I say Muhammad is a student, what will you say? Muhammadun
talibun. Did you see talibun? Muhammad is definite. But, talibun is indefinite. Are you with
me, brothers and sisters? Now, more example, brother. Haza
baytun Are you with me? Baytun, a house. Huh? But, haza
Okay? Actually, it is definite. We are not going to go in detail now, but later on,
we will explain you that even haza is a definite. Because when you point out to something,
it is something particular. Huh? But, we will go in detail later on, huh?
Pardon me if I sometimes go in some details, but don't worry. Whatever you can retain in your mind, you retain it.
Now, I come to the conclusion, brother. The mubtada will be most of the time
definite. And the khabar will be indefinite. Rule number one.
Sister Salma, rule number two. Are you Everybody listening? Brothers and sisters?
Mubtada will always be marfu. Are you with me? Mubtada will always be
marfu. What is the meaning of that? It will end with a damma.
See, now we are coming Right away we are coming to what we were uh trying to say in the beginning that
noun can be marfu, can be mansub,
and can be majroor. Are you with me? Sister Naima, noun declines.
Are you with me, sisters? Noun declines. It can be marfu,
it can be mansub, or it can be majroor. Now, as I said, we want to know why they are marfu
and mansub and majroor. So, if it is a mubtada, it will always be marfu. Khalas.
Got the idea of it? If it is a mubtada, it will always be marfu. And if it is news, khabar,
then also it will always be marfu. I repeat again. Huh?
Nominal sentence has two parts. What are they, sister Naima?
Subject and predicate, huh? I'm using English so that you don't get gabrified.
Okay? Use English also. But by the time you are in book two,
you you have everything in your mind, inshallah. Inshallah. Then you will love to say Arabic terms, you know. So,
uh sisters, jumlah ismiyyah, nominal sentence has two
parts. One is subject, and other is predicate. In
Arabic, one is mubtada, and other is khabar. Now, I'm telling you the subject is
always marfu. Means it will end in a dammah. And the
predicate will always be marfu. Are you with me? Predicate will always be marfu, sister Fatima. Is it clear?
Brother and sisters, if you don't understand, ask me. I will repeat as many times that is necessary
to to make it very clear to you. Huh? Sister Faiza, ask me if you don't understand anything.
Okay. Brothers, same applies to you. I'm not doing any special favors.
Brothers and sisters are all equal to me. Yes, sister Salma.
I have a question. So, how is not definite, but it is a marfu. Yes.
Remember, when the noun is definite or indefinite, doesn't matter.
But if it ends with a damma, then it is marfu.
Then it is marfu. Okay? Okay. Are you Is it clear to you now?
Now, in a simple sentence, she I approach this way. In other classes, they they just translate.
And I I feel if I start slowly slowly now with you, these rules, let it take time. By the
time you are in book two, you are very comfortable. You are enjoying everything because
everything is making sense to you. If I don't do this, brother, and that This is what happened to me when I did
not understand, when we went to book two, and when what they were talking about
all these things, brother, I I was really lost. It took me a lot of time to get
to understand the rules. So, I do it slowly slowly from the beginning. One more time I'll repeat.
A nominal sentence, jumla ismiyya, has two parts. One is subject, the other is
predicate. One is mubtada and the other is khabar. Every time we look into the nominal sentence, we look for that. We
will look for that. And the mubtada or the subject uh is always marfu.
And the khabar is always marfu. Uh this is rule number uh very important grammar rule. Brother,
when we go deeper and deeper things will come in different colors.
Are you with me? They'll come in different colors. But by that time your mind will be in a
state you will be able to understand it. Uh inshallah. Okay, because right now we are dealing
with simple simple sentences in which it is very simple and easy to identify mubtada and khabar. And you will see
mubtada is marfu. And the khabar And you will see mubtada is marfu.
And the khabar is marfu. And if there are no vowel signs, we will still make it marfu.
Uh brother Muhammad, okay? So brother and sisters here we come. Al qalamu
maksurun. What did I say? Al qalamu
maksurun. Is al qalamu marfu? Yes. Is maksurun marfu? Yes. Uh okay. Both are marfu.

for these two things, huh? Okay? So when you say hadha baytun where is mubtada?
Hadha is your mubtada. And remember it is definite. It is definite because when you say
hadha you are pointing out to something particular. So it is definite.
In fact let me tell you a rule. Are you listening?
Are you listening? All pronouns. What did I say?
All pronouns are definite. All pronouns are definite. Because the pronoun replaces noun.
We will learn more about pronouns inshallah in two three days. A lot we will learn.
Okay? So hadha is a pronoun and pronouns are all definite. Huh? Okay? By their nature they are all definite.
Okay, fine. Hadha baytun. So hadha is definite because we know mubtada has to be
definite most of the time. In the Quran we will learn the sentences in which mubtada is indefinite.
And you will be amazed. You will love it when we will go through some of the sentences in the Quran and it will amaze
you, brother. Now you will feel that thing in your heart, you know, inshallah. Okay, hadha baytun. What is

what did I say, brother and sisters? If the sentence is a question, we will not analyze it. We won't attempt
to analyze it till we go in book three. Till we go in lesson number 10 in book three, we will not analyze it. The
questions, just leave it aside. Don't even attempt. Don't make an attempt. Because it will confuse you
and you will ask me question, you will confuse me and when I try to explain you, I will
not be able to remove your confusion. So, questions we will keep it aside. Statements we will try to analyze,

Kursiyu Jadidun. You can say anything you want. You will be able to use simple sentences now, brother. And you will be
able to make your own sentences. Huh? So, brother and sisters Al Jumlatul Ismiyyatu.
What did I say? Nominal sentence. Al Jumlatul Ismiyyatu has got two parts. In English, we say
subject and predicate. In Arabic, we say Mufradah and Khabar. They are both
always Marfu. They will end with a Dammah. Uh, they will end with a Dammah. Uh? And
the Mufradah is most of the time definite. And khabar most of the time sometimes it can be definite most of the
time indefinite. Are you with me brother and sisters? Now can you see here Muhammadun Rasulullahi?
What is what kind of sentence is this? Jumla ismiya. What kind of sentence is this? Because it started with Muhammad.
This is not jumla ismiya. This is not you know jumla ismiya here. Okay? This is ismiya but we'll learn later on
inshallah. This is not jumla ismiya. Okay? But this is jumla ismiya. Muhammadun so where is mubtada?
It is got tanwin. Is it definite indefinite? Definite. Why it is definite? Because it is a proper
noun. Huh? Name. Fine brother. How about this?
Allahu definite. What is this? Jumla ismiya. What is this?
Mubtada. Oh where is the khabar of this? Ghafurun Allahu Ghafurun. Allah is most
forgiving. Huh? And here I'm not going in detail because in the next lessons we'll go in detail. But Muhammad is the
Rasul. He's the messenger. Are you with me brother and sisters? So to wind up brother
in Arabic the nouns decline. Are you with me? The nouns decline. They can end with a damma
or they can end with a fatha or they can end with a kasra. If they end with a damma we call it marfu. If they end with
a fatha we call it mansub. If they end with a kasra we call it Huh?
majrur So, in other words, it's dun
dan and din. Again, say loudly. Say it loudly.
dan din Now, if I say dun, what will you say to me?
It's marfu. What will you say? If I say dan,
what will you tell me? It's mansub. If I say din, Huh?
Are you with me? Again, I tell you, if I say dun, if it is dan,
Huh? If it is din, majrur If I say dun,
then it is marfu. And if I say dan, it's mansub.
And when I say din, it's majrur. One more time. If I say dun,
it's marfu. If I say dan, it's mansub.
And if I say din, majrur Therefore, dun dun dan dan din din dun dun dan dan
din din dun dun dan dan din din dun dun dan dan din din So, that is what it is, brother. dun dun dan dan din din dun dun
dan dan din din dun dun dan dan din din dun dun dan dan din din So, what I'm saying,
marfu mansub and majrur. Will you remember this,
brother? Marfu mansub majrur This terminology you should memorize tonight.
Huh? Because this is how we will be pointing out to the words. Are you with me? It's easy, brother.
My last advice, if you did not understand thoroughly, don't worry.
We will repeat it again. And you will inshallah get it, huh? So, do not be, you know,
don't say to yourself, may Buddha ho gaya ho. I have become old. I may Buddha ho gaya
ho. Don't say that, brother. Age is not the barrier.
If you have a will, huh? If you have a determination, Allah will
make it easy. Okay, are you with me? So, tomorrow we'll revise everything.
And then, the way we are going going, brother and sisters, soon we'll be in the lesson four. And in
the lesson four, majrur will come. What will come? Majrur will come in
lesson four. But inshallah, we'll go slowly slowly and we'll keep on revising. Assalamualaikum warahmatullah
wabarakatuh. Brother and sisters, we'll start our session.
Uh I would like to repeat couple of things. Uh just as a revision.
In Arabic language, brother and sisters, the noun declines.
We call it declension of noun. Huh? In other words, it's mu'rab. It can have three cases.
It can be nominative, accusative, and genitive. I did not say this
yesterday. But then, it may confuse you. But it is very simple. Nominative case
means it is marfu. Huh? And then, accusative case
it's mansub. And genitive case means
it's majrur. So, it should not be confusing. We won't We will get used to marfu, mansub, and majrur more than
anything else. In other words, the noun can end
Muhammadun. That's why I said dun. Then it can end in dan. That's why I said
dan. And it can end as a din.
And we should be watching these things in the Quran when we read. Uh?
Is If it is a noun, is it marfu? Is it mansub?
Is it majrur? And it will tell you a story, "Who am I?" You know? For example,
we also said to you that in Arabic language, there are two kinds of sentences.
If the sentence begins with a noun, then we call it jumla ismiyya. If a sentence begins with a verb, we
call it jumla fi'liyya. Very simple. Uh? If it is a jumla ismiyya,
brothers and sisters, we are looking for two things in it. Where is mubtada?
And where is khabar? Uh? In other words, where is subject and where is
predicate? Uh? And brothers, as I told you, the subject, the mubtada, is always
marfu. So, you see this telling you a story. You see a
a jumla ismiyya, and you see a noun, and if it is marfu, it is telling you, "I am mubtada."
Uh? And then, if there's a khabar, it will also be marfu, and that khabar telling you khabar is telling you,
"I am that marfu is telling you, "I am khabar now." You know? So, you will be able to
identify these things, brothers. Okay? So, all the sentences so far we have done,
they are very, very simple. No complication. But, well, things will get complicated. The more complicated they
get, the more interesting they become. Inshallah, we are going to enjoy it uh
when they get complicated. So, uh from time to time I will also tell
you, you know, that certain things are harf and certain things are noun, okay? And
you can make a little note. You do not have to sit down and memorize everything. Just make a note of it
because I'll be repeating them and inshallah you will be hearing from me all the time. Okay. Now,
we also uh studied that a simple statement like hadha baytun,
hadha kursiyun, hadha waladun, hadha tabibun, you can change that into a question by putting hamza in front. Now,
that hamza is a harf. Hamza is a harf. Hamza is a harf, okay? But then it has
got a long name that by the time you go in book two, you'll get used to it. Harful istifham.
Particle for asking question. Interrogative particle, okay? But you don't have to worry now. Just Just
remember that when you put a in front of a statement, it turns into a question. That's all.
Hadha baytun, this is a house. Ah hadha baytun, is this a house? That's all. Okay. And then we use ma to ask a
question. Ma hadha? Okay? But ma is not harf, but ma is a ism.
Okay, fine. Ma haza, what is this? Okay. And then, if it is to refer to an aakil
to a person with intelligence, rational noun, we call it, then you have to use man.
Then you have to use man. Man haza. Okay. Ma haza, what is this? Man haza,
who is this? Inshallah, we you will try and read the sentences more often
and you will get used to it, inshallah. And then we were in lesson number three, brothers and sisters, where
we came to the definite noun and indefinite noun that we had studied in the beginning, huh brother? Indefinite
noun will always have tanween. Huh? Double vowel sign. It can be tanween damma,
it can be tanween fatha, or it can be tanween kasra. Dun, dan, din. You know, depending on what
function the noun is performing in the sentence. Are you with me, brothers and sisters? Now,
how do you make indefinite noun into definite noun? By putting al
and removing the double vowel sign, leaving only one vowel sign. Okay? Baytun,
a house. Al baytu, the house. Qalamun,
a pen. Al qalamu, the pen. Huh?
Waladun, a boy, a boy. Al waladu,
the boy. Tabibun, a doctor. At tabibu,
the doctor. Huh? Mudarrisun, a teacher. Al mudarrisu,
the teacher. So, it's very simple, inshallah. And then I pointed out to you and I asked you make simple sentences in
English. Make nominal sentence in English. And you realized I made you observe yourself that you always started
with the. Do you remember?
Huh? You say the house is new. The pen is broken. You know, the kitab, the book, uh you
always started with the. The book is old. In other words, brothers and sisters,
mubtada, which is marfu, most of the time it is definite. It is definite noun.
And then the khabar, most of the time it will be indefinite. It is marfu, but it is indefinite.
And then we did lot some exercises, brothers and sisters. I hope you were comfortable with them.
For example, we did the exercise on page number 15,
brothers and sisters. Exercise three, in which we were filling the blanks with the words given.
You remember? Jameelun, waseekhun, maftuhun,
haarun, saqeelun, khafeefun. Are you with me, brothers and
sisters? They are You are there in the book now? Yes. Now,
I I was so pleased with your answers, brothers and sisters. And when you your answers are correct, I
I get a special happiness that things are now, you know, working and you are
understanding. We have to fill in the blanks. But, what kind of a word is there in the
front? For example, And I was pleased with your answers,
brothers and sisters, because you say this is all mubtada. It means we are looking to fit in a
proper khabar. And you do you did very well, but we'll do one more time. You can do it
together. Brother, if I say al-hajaru, what will be your answer?
Saqilun, masha Allah, huh? If I say al-bab, what will be it? Maftuhun, huh? You got the idea, brother
Farooq? Insha Allah. If I say al-qamaru, Jamilun, masha Allah.
If I say al-waraqu, Khafifun. Al-mindilu,
Wasikhun. Huh? Wasikhun. Al-labanu, Harrun.
Harrun, huh? So, you see you got the idea. We had the mubtada, and you brought the khabar to complete the
sentence. Now, in the next sentence, the next exercise, brothers and sisters, in the next exercise, we have
a khabar. Now, we have to bring in mubtada, but the mubtadas are not given.
Subjects are not given. So, you have to think. And if you have read your lesson two, three times, then
the answers will come very will come with ease, insha Allah. Okay, brother. Nazifun, something is clean.
Al-mindilu nazifun, al-qamisu nazifun, you can, you know, say anything you want to say, insha Allah.
Next Next one is maksurun, something is broken. Al-qalamu maksurun, al-kursiyu maksurun,
as-sariru maksurun. Anything you want to say, huh? Something is cold, baridun.
Al-ma'u baridun. Or you can say al-labanu baridun, huh? Okay? Later on when we we we learn, al-jawwu
baridun. The weather is cold. Huh? Later on you will learn more vocab inshallah. Okay?
Qaribun, something is near. Al-masjidu qaribun, al-baytu qaribun. Are you with me?
Fine, brother and sisters. Something is far. Al-baytu ba'idun or al-masjidu ba'idun,
huh? Okay? All or al-qamaru ba'idun, huh? Okay?
Waqifun, someone is standing. Al-muhandisu waqifun. Ar-rajulu ar-rajulu waqifun.
Okay? At-tabibu waqifun, you know? Brother and sister,
you know, you can use your own sentences now. Make you can make even half a dozen
sentence. So, this is a good exercise to make your own sentences, huh? Okay?
And if you have children, brother, I if you teach them, they will start speaking these sentences. I have experienced you
know, with children, you know? They they pick up very fast. Jalisun, someone is sitting.
Al-muhandisu jalisun, al-muhan mudarrisu jalisun. Okay? At-talibu jalisun, the student is
sitting. Fine? Kabirun. Al-hisanu kabirun, the horse is big. Huh? But do you see now, brother? We are
using definite noun first as a mubtada and the khabar is coming as indefinite. Keep that in mind. Huh?
Now, this rule uh most of the time. There will be some exceptions.
And we will learn from the Quran those things, inshallah. Brother, for your information,
I will speak from time to time about Quran. What is Quran? Huh? Quran is such a unique book.
1,400 plus year old, you know. Nothing has been written
like that in Arabic language to match Quran. It's unique.
Huh? The grammar of Arabic language is derived from Quran.
Can you imagine? The grammar of Arabic language came from the Quran.
The Quran dictates the grammar of Arabic language, brother. So, everything that you want to learn
about Arabic grammar, the Quran is going to teach you. And everything we learn, brother. But if
you don't learn the language, then we are missing out so much. And from time to time I'll bring uh uh
examples, you know. Even examples of exception to the rule, we will find it in the Quran.
You know? And you will love it. And you know, most of you are very well into Quran. You have been studying for a long
time. You have memorized. But now you will understand the Quran from a different perspective. It will come to
you in a different colors. You know? And inshallah, we will feel the magic of Quran in our heart. Okay?
Inshallah. Something is old. Qadimun. I think
I'll give that a fuel system loudly sister.
I'll buy two correct or buy two okay very good job something is new.
Okay or kitab al Kalam you know you can say a house whatever you want to say
but you will start with definite noun. Which is coming as a mashallah al kalimatu al jadid.
But the new words these are the new words okay now you you will.
I would like you to memorize them the vocab. The vocab we should memorize
from now onwards we should make a special effort to memorize. For intensive course you got to study

easy. Saghirun. Kabirun. Okay? Then we have thaqilun. Khafifun. Huh? Thaqilun, heavy.

Jazakumullah khair. Inshallah, tomorrow we'll meet around 9:15. inshallah. You will try to
come possible. If you are late due to traffic, don't worry my brothers and sisters.
You know.
Arabic simplifies the English 8 parts of speech into only 3: noun, verb, and particle. The Arabic noun includes what English considers separate categories like pronouns, adjectives, adverbs, and interjections. This helps Arabic learners focus on the core building blocks of the language without getting lost in unnecessary subcategories.
Nouns are made indefinite using tanween (double vowel endings like dun, dan, din). To make a noun definite, you add the definite article 'al-' to the beginning and replace tanween with a single vowel sign. The key rule is that tanween and 'al' can never appear together on the same noun.
Arabic nouns have three endings: nominative (dun/damma), accusative (dan/fatha), and genitive (din/kasra). These endings change based on the noun's function in the sentence. For example, the subject takes the nominative, the object takes the accusative, and nouns after prepositions take the genitive.
A nominal sentence has two parts: the subject (mubtada) and the predicate (khabar). Unlike English, Arabic does not use a linking verb like 'is' or 'are'. The sentence directly states the subject followed by its predicate, such as 'Hadha baytun' meaning 'This is a house'.
To ask a yes/no question, add 'hamza' (أ) at the beginning of a statement. For example, 'Hadha baytun' becomes 'A hadha baytun?' To ask specific questions, use 'ma' (ما) for 'what' with non-intelligent beings, and 'man' (من) for 'who' with intelligent beings. Answers for yes/no questions are 'na'am' for yes and 'la' for no.
There are three short vowels: damma (u), fatha (a), and kasra (i). Sukoon indicates no vowel. Long vowels are formed by combining a short vowel with a weak letter: damma + waw produces 'buu', fatha + alif produces 'baa', and kasra + ya produces 'bii'. These signs change meaning and grammatical function.
The course advises daily practice like a university course, writing vowel signs even when missing from the book, reading aloud with proper endings (dun, dan, din), and reviewing vocabulary daily. Each lesson builds on the previous, so it's important not to skip homework. Learning Arabic for the Quran is considered worship.
