Nadiya Johnson al-Khad-raa

Ahlan wa sahlan!
(Welcome)
Thank you for your interest in this book and your interest in learning
Arabic language! I was just like many of you, English is my first
language. The first time I saw the Quran in Arabic, I thought, There is
no way I can learn to read this! However, I can tell you that I did and
YOU CAN too!
By Allahs permission, I have taught Arabic language to many Englishspeakers, young and old. One thing I am sure about is that EVERYONE
can learn, but not everyone can learn at the same pace. Some people can
handle a fast-paced learning environment where they are immersed in
the language. Other people need a slower pace in which they can ponder
over each step.
With my curriculum, you can create your own pace. Use my Suggested
Study Schedule to move as quickly or as slowly as you choose. My
workbook series and website are designed to take you from alif-baa-taa,
to reading the Quran and speaking Arabic, by the permission of Allah.
So get focused. Begin to envision yourself reciting the Book of Allah
with ease in your most beautiful voice. Imagine yourself receiving those
hasanaat on your scale, or 10 rewards for every letter. Imagine your
Iman, (your faith) increasing due to your understanding of Allahs
eloquence and being guided by His speech! Imagine yourself, standing
in the taraweeh prayer in Ramadan and actually understanding the
recitation of the Imam! Imagine tears streaming down your face because
you understood the admonishment, or the reminder, or the promise
from the Lord of the Worlds!
If you want this more than anything, then I want to help you achieve
that. Accept me as your teacher because I already claim you as my
student.
From the heart sisters, this book is especially for you!
With love,
Your Us-taa-tha (teacher)

Suggested Study Schedule for Busy Women

Read the new lesson, view videos

to the lesson.

Tuesday 5:30am- 6:00am

words/sentences.

Wednesday 5:30am 6:00am

Thursday 5:30am 6:00am

Read the Quran in any place,

try to recognize letters/words
from the Arabic while reading the

Learning to Read the Quran

For this series, you will need a mus-haf, which is a copy
of the complete Quran in Arabic. I suggest a large copy and
not a small one. In the beginning, reading
will be difficult. It may take several minutes just to struggle
through a few words. Do not be discouraged, rather be determined!
After difficulty comes ease. With patience and consistency,
reading will become easier and easier as you accustom your
eyes to the Arabic text and your mouth to the pronunciation
of the letters. If you follow the Suggested Study Schedule, you
will choose one surah to read on Wednesdays. You must stick
with that surah until you complete
this level inshaAllah. The more you read that one surah,
the easier it will become. In other words, the more you read,
the easier it is to read! And time spent reading the
Book of Allah is never wasted.

Level 3 Introduction

In this workbook you will be learning how to talk about yourself, other
people, families and possessions. This book requires you to do quite a
bit of memorizing. The first thing youll be memorizing inshaAllah,
singular (mufrad) and plural (jemu) of many words. In the Arabic
language, a plural is made up of 3 or more things or people. Every noun
(person, place, or thing), has a plural form. These plurals
(jum u), for the most part must be memorized as we learn new
vocabulary. So going forward, when a new word is introduced, its plural
will also be introduced inshaAllah. Pronouns will also have a singular
and plural form.
The second thing youll be memorizing is pronoun forms like he and
she or his and hers. When memorizing these word forms, it is
important to be patient. Do not allow yourself to feel frustrated and do
not ask too many questions. It is important to do the work of
memorizing and wait and see the benefit later These plural forms are
part of the beauty and eloquence of the Arabic language. When you
begin to understand the Quran, then you will be happy that you took
this time and effort to memorize, inshaAllah.

say them repetitively. We will memorize according to their patterns to

The first person well talk about is ourselves. The grammatical term
al-muta-kellim (the speaker) is used to refer to the first person or
ana. So well begin with ana:

. S"2. 2.
. 2.
.SO: L 2.
.47"
2.
I (am) Nadiya. I (am) a woman. I (am) a teacher. I (am) from
America.
I use ana to say I am though am does not translate. I am
muanneth(feminine), therefore most of the words I use end with
taa marbootah.
If a man speaks about himself he will use the muthakkar(masculine)
and his statements might look like this:

.L2e 2.
.WD 2.

In these sentences, now I speak about possessions.
This is my house. My house is beautiful. This is my car. My car is
new.
To talk about your possessions, you will add a yaa to the noun to say
my. This connected pronoun, hooked to the end of a noun is called
dha-meer mutta-sil.
Use it to speak about your possessions:

The connected pronoun

Umm is mother, hooked to the end is the dha-meer muta-sil meaning my.
We take off the dammataan and put a kes-ra, add yaa and it becomes my
mother.
Abu is father, the yaa hooked to the end makes it my father.

Now add yaa to personalize these people. Write the new word on

Ishaa-rah Pointing to al-jumu

CONCLUSION

7Q  2
May Allah increase you in the good of this life and the next.

You have completed level 3 and you are now speaking basic Arabic!

As you go into Level 4, it would help you to find Arab women in your
community with whom you can socialize. Once you find one or two
Arab sisters to talk to, practice your skills on them and dont be shy!
You can also organize a gathering of other English-speaking women
who are also studying and form your own Arabic conversation group.
In Level 4, we will be learning the use of verbs to talk about the past,
present and future. This will continue to increase your conversational
skills as well as help you to understand the Quran, InshaAllah.

Keep your focus.

May Allah make you successful!

See you in Level 4 inshaAllah!
