arabicgems // October 3, 2006 at 10:12 pm |
Wa ‘alaykum al-Salaam,
There is not a specific word for concordance that I know of in Arabic. I would advise you search for إحصاء الكلمات or something of the like in shaa’ Allaah.

Could you please explain this bit of text in a future post? (lexical meaning etc) :
=Quote=========================
As far as time is concerned, Ramadan is the ninth month of the Muslim calendar, but it is also a word with a lexical meaning. It refers to heat, the intense temperatures required to purify a precious metal from alloys mixed with it. The end result is an uncontaminated shine, purified by trial.
=End Quote=====================

As-salamu alaykum wa rahmat Ullahi wa barakaatuhu,
I am an American lawyer working (on and off) over the last seven years in Saudi Arabia. I studied classical Arabic while a graduate student at Yale in the mid 1980s with the late and great Dr. Franz Rosenthal. I use colloquial Arabic every day, and my legal vocabulary is quite extensive, but frankly, I am a little self-conscious about reading aloud in Arabic because I have not recited classical Arabic since my days in Rosenthal’s class.
I have recently experienced a surge of renewed energy for expanding my vocabulary and reading the classical works. I have Bassam Frangieh’s Anthology (which is great), as well as almost all of Ibn Qutayba’s works, as well as Al-Jahiz, Ibn Jinni, Kitab ul-Aghani.
What would you recommend I begin with? I don’t want to be overwhelmed, as you can imagine.
I appreciate your advice and candor.
Wa as-salamu alaykum…
David
arabicgems // December 12, 2006 at 5:01 pm |
Wa ‘alaykum al-Salaam wa rahmat Allah wa Barakaatuhu,
The works you mentioned you have are all quite advanced, and going on what you said alone, I would hesitate to recommend you begin on any of them. If I had to direct you among those works, I would suggest you look to see whether any of them have been printed with their vowels, if not fully then at least the i3raab vowels on the ends of the words, as your familiarity with spoken arabic should assist you in knowing the regular vowels.
If the i3raab is not a problem for you (and even if it is) I would also recommend you begin with whichever of them have the best tahqeeq and explanatory footnotes added by the editor/s. As you know, classical arabic can include alot of near-archaic vocabulary and syntax, so it is crucial time-wise to get editions with the best tahqeeq, as the editor will have done the hard work for us in deciphering the intent of the author, and will put his words within our realm of understanding.
If none do have the vowels, and you are unhappy with the tahqeeq of the books you have, then it would be worth popping into a bookstore in the country and seeing if you can find editions of any classical books that do have strong tahqeeq and/or vowels.
If you do not wish to be overwhelmed, I would recommend something that is ‘lighter’ reading in terms of its content – a book of anecdotes perhaps, such as al-Bukhala’ or al-Adhkiya’ by al-Jahiz. The vocabulary and syntax are not too complex, and the chuckles should remove the strain of the task.
If you have more specific queries, please do not hesitate to ask. I wish you all the best in your endeavour.
sheepoo // December 13, 2006 at 11:10 pm |

Jamal Qanuni // January 27, 2007 at 5:00 pm |
Asalam alaikum, I have been searching for a comprehensive web-site on Arabic and now I have found it!
I studied anthropology at SOAS in early 90s and over the years learnt French and Spanish. But I found my Arabic learning being hampered by lack of good studies in the language. I have a good background in Islamic studies & am linguistically perceptive and knew that the ‘lack’ of verbs & their patterns were my problem. I have Wehr’s dictionary & Scheindlin’s verbs,but that was not good enough. I have same problem as David (above): I want to read Arabic texts. I have Bukharis Sahih but can you recommend a book/newspapers that will enable me to make the transition to non-vowelled texts? Or will this be helped by the verb patterns and their Masdars that, inshallah, I learn?
Also please place me on your ‘email’ list.
Jamal (London)
Jamal Qanuni // January 27, 2007 at 5:14 pm |
You don’t know how excited I have been in discovering your web-site!
I studied Arabic on-off for years. But most English works on language only provide ‘basics’ and the student who needs more ’sufferes’ alone, puzzling on how to aquire the right verb patterns for verbs such as ‘help’ or ‘to speak’. You find books that do not even ‘help’ with the future tense and one could be mistaken to believe that Arabs only speak in the ‘past’ tense (but they too have wishes, desires, dreams!). Mashallaha,who ever you are, I thank you. May Allah give you success, for in reality, for us British Muslims,from Western backgrounds, this site works within many the realms, including that of ‘da’wa (for the student in search of ‘ilm).
Shokran lakum
Jamal
arabicgems // January 29, 2007 at 4:53 pm |
abdulkhaliq, ameen, wa iyyaakum.
Jamal Qanuni, wa ‘alaykum as salaam. I wish you success in your Arabic learning. The verb patterns and their masdars should not take you long to learn, and with time you will come to recognise them quickly in shaa’ Allaah. This will definitely help you learn to read non-vowelled texts. The begining is a struggle, I recall many a time spending over an hour trying to understand just one page, because of constantly referring to a dictionary, trying to work out what a certain word means or what its root is. But inna ma3 al-3usri yusraa – the difficulties will soon pay off in shaa’ Allaah.
Also, I’m sorry there is no email list, but you can subscribe to the RSS feed if you so wish.

Assalamu alaykum,
I came across the title “Dibs wa Zayt” for one of the scholars of recent past. I was wondering if anybody knew what context this was used in or if there is any background to the usage of such a term. Please help in any way possible.
arabicgems // February 14, 2007 at 3:16 pm |
ًWa ‘alaykum al-Salaam,
Can you provide more information, such as the sentence where you read it?
From what I know, Debs Wazeit is a Syrian surname. I have not come across it as a title.
javed // February 21, 2007 at 10:47 pm |
The actual wording of the sentence is “Shaykhunal Marhum al-Allama Abdul Wahhaab al-Haafiz al-mulaqqab bi dibs wa zayt rahimahullah”
yousef abussafar // February 23, 2007 at 10:37 pm |
I’d like to know what are the best books for learning arabic vocabulary? I’m looking for books for someone who is intermediate in vocab as well as advanced and can understand childrens books about 90% as well as texts written in a simple language.
Is Hikayat Kalila wa Dimna best and what should be studied after that? How is al Mu’allaqat as Sab’ (extremely advanced or suitable after Kalila wa Dimnah)? And are there any other books you could recommend for the above topics?
Allah yajzeekal khair.
Ma’as salamah,
Yousef
arabicgems // February 24, 2007 at 10:32 am |
javed, all I know is that Dibs was Zayt was a title given to the family members of a certain lineage in Damascus. Apparently they are known today as Aal-Hafidh آل حافظ which is in accordance with the name of the scholar you provided. It could just mean that he is part of that family, wallaahu a3lam.
yousef; it depends on what you want genre you want to develop your vocabulary in: reading Kalilal wa Dimnah will not help you in understanding the words of the Qur’an, for example, and the Mu’allaqaat will not help you understand an arabic newspaper. The vocabulary of the mu’allaqaat is extremely advanced, and even arabs themselves would need an explanation of the words and sometimes the sentence constructions.
I am not sure what topics you are referring to when you said ‘And are there any other books you could recommend for the above topics?’, but if you mentioned what topics you were after it would be very helpful and in shaa’ Allaah people will be able to offer more suggestions.
Bi al-tawfeeq. Ameen.

Assalamu alaykum,
I was hoping you’d be able to give me some advice. I am teaching Arabic Nahw to a few students who are total beginners. I have begun by introducing the kalima, its three types, the signs of each one, and I have now gone on to teaching Ma’rifa and Nakira.
Ive been using a number of different Arabic books to collate information. However, I’m a bit stuck as to how to synchronise everything together.
What should be discussed next keeping in mind the fact that these students are beginners? The types of ism in respect to gender, wahid, tathniya, jama’ or maybed go straight onto the jumla ismiyya and fi’liyya??
Do you have any suggestions or a methodology/sequence which would be useful?
Many thanks
Wassalaam
sheepoo // March 22, 2007 at 2:54 am |
Javed,
Although I am still a student myself , but because your question is about sequence rather than subject matter therefore I think that I might be able to help you out. I am putting the stuff which I am learning at Toronto Shariah Program on my blog. This will give you an idea regarding sequence of teaching Arabic.
However, sister Ola Shoubaki is definitely the right person when it comes to asking questions about Arabic
arabicgems // March 22, 2007 at 7:51 pm |
Wa ‘alaykum al-Salaam,
Javed, I personally would prefer to teach the jumlah ismiyyah next, because it builds on from the ma3rifah and nakirah, and the student can directly use their previous knowledge, in addition to which it is very exciting to actually be able to form a complete sentence in a new language, however simple that sentence is!
Whatever order you end up teaching topics in, the key is to make a direct link between the student’s previous knowledge and what they are being taught in the current lesson, so it feels like everything is building on the next and is not an independent unit. This will also enable the student to feel like they are being taught the language itself and not just rules of grammar.
May Allaah put tawfeeq in your efforts and have mercy on you for the work you are doing – ameen.
thanweer // March 24, 2007 at 6:03 am |
Javed, an idea that I have been playing around a bit with was to get students to sit down and think about designing a language. I know it sounds a bit abstract, but just by thinking about what one would need to say in an unknown language one is forced to develop an overview of the geography of a language. So the students might realise that they need to be able to describe things, they may realise that they need to be able to communciate actions, both passively and actively. Many a time I feel like grammar is lacking amongst students, so the teacher ends up not only teaching the grammatical representations in the new language but also the actual grammatical concepts themselves. Just some food for thougth really.
Wa salaam alaikum wa rahmatullah.

Assalamoalikum Dear Arabic Gem!
Hope u r in the best of Health and Iman
I have a question,, today i came to cross a different opinion regarding verse of “wife beating” in Quran.
It says that “Idhrib” means “to go away”. check out this link
http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=domesticNews&storyid=2007-03-23T002513Z_01_N21290159_RTRUKOC_0_US-KORAN-FEMINIST.xml&src=rss&rpc=22
Does this make sense? can a woman change the meaning of something which has not been changed so far??
Kindly do reply, hope u will give satisfactory answer
Jazakallah
Ma’salamah!
Shaheen // March 29, 2007 at 1:42 pm |
“The word “Idribuhunne” is translated as “beat them” in the above verse. The root of this word is “DaRaBa”. If you look at any Arabic dictionary you will find a long list of meanings ascribed to this word. That list is one of the longest list in whole Arabic dictionary. It can be said that “DaRaBa” is the number-one multi-meaning word in Arabic. It has so many different meanings, we can find numerous different meanings ascribed to it in the Quran”
Abdul Muntaqim // March 30, 2007 at 4:54 pm |
Asalam mu alaikum wr wb. Sister Arabic Jems I am currently a student in Egypt and have studied arabic for a few years. I wouldnt some info regarding the Malaysian uni. What requirments does one need to be accepted? Also does it have general islamic studies up for offer? Jazak Allah khair
arabicgems // March 30, 2007 at 7:47 pm |
Wa ‘alaykum al-Salaam wa rahmat Allah wa barakaatuhu,
Shaheen, although Arabic is necessary to understand the Qur’an, and it is important to know the linguist meaning of words, one cannot divorce the interpretation of the Qur’an with the understanding of the sahabah and the first three generations after the Prophet (salla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam).
Tafseer is not performed through knowledge of the language alone. In fact, al-Suyuti mentined n al-Itqan no less than fifteen different sciences that one is required to have knowledge of before they are allowed to perform tafseer of the Qur’an (http://islamtoday.al-eman.com/islamlib/viewchp.asp?BID=156&CID=29&SI=q3)
Abdul Muntaqim, the University website is http://www.iiu.edu.my.
They do have general Islamic studies on offer, but the course description and attendance requirements are dependant on whether you want to do Undergraduate or postgraduate studies. The Islamic/Human Sciences faculty website is: http://iiu.edu.my/irkhs/ you can find information there on courses and admission procedure in shaa’ Allaah, and feel free to ask more specifically on anything else which seems unclear to you.

Beautiful site… thank you and may Allah belss you… i have a question i’d really appreciate if you can answer… can you please explain the words Qalb(heart) and Fouad(heart)… and if possible with their ethymologies please… they are found together in Quran(28:10)… thanks in advance and salam from Turkey… Jazakum Allaahu khayran
arabicgems // April 11, 2007 at 3:03 pm |
al-Salaamu ‘alaykum,
Wa iyyaakum and welcome.
Thank you for your very perceptive question maa shaa’ Allaah. This was actually the only place in the Qur’an where the word qalb has been used in the same verse as the word fu’aad. There is a difference of opinion as to whether the fu’aad is actually the same as the qalb or not.
Many of the classical scholars and linguists said that they were one and the same, and did not go into the differences between them. al-Zamakhshari indicated in his tafseer that the fu’aad was (metaphorically) the innermost part of the heart, and the qalb was the outer layer.
Others mentioned based on the Qur’anic verses in which the word fu’aad occurs, that the fu’aad is the place in the body that controls the emotions, intellect and memory, and thus based on its usage in the Qur’an and our knowledge of modern science, its place is in the mind.
This last explanation seems the most convincing to me, particularly in light of what the classical mufassirreen have said in explanation of the word ‘faarighan’ in the verse you quoted: a number of them incl. Ibn Mas’ood, Ibn ‘Abbas and al-Dahhak (may Allaah be pleased with them all) said for example that it means that her fu’aad was void of remembering anything in this world other than her son Musa.
There is an arabic research paper by Abdullah al-Harithi on the Qur’anic miracle in stating the difference between the Qalb and the Fu’aad, that goes into detail regarding the evidences and verses that back up this opinion.
And Allaah knows best.

dontbesadblog, I’ve linked to you, thank you.
Sa-ad Mohammed Abubakar, thank you for the enquiry, but I’m not sure which institution you are referring to. I personally don’t have an institution, but if you are referring to the International Islamic University Malaysia, you can download their application form from their website, http://iiu.edu.my.

as Salaamu ‘alaykum wa Rahmatullaah,
I wanted to suggest an excellent Arabic Language Institute also based in Egypt, with whom I’ve been learning Arabic for almost 2 years. I’m now speaking Arabic fluently, as well as understanding many Arabic texts and I’m not even finished with the program yet! It is a 12 level program and you need not travel to Egypt in order to participate in their program. Rather, the wonderful thing about their program is that they offer an online option where you are assigned a teacher and are given one-on-one instruction. Timings are flexible, and by the end of the program you should not only be well versed in the language but you will be given the tools to effectively teach the language—in the language itself! Instruction is only in Arabic (which is the only effective way to learn I believe).
If interested please go to: http://www.arabicinegypt.com/ and register.

I really need some help. I am currently living in Saudi Arabia specifically Jeddah for 4 years and cannot string a sentence together. It can become very stressful when someone tries to speak to me in Arabic and I do not understand them. I have finally reached a point where i’m getting desperate to learn . Do you know of any centres where they teach Arabic to non-Arabs? The daytime is convenient for me, my kids are in scool.

Assalamu alaykum,
I’ve looked through a few different tafsirs but wasn’t able to locate the answer; What’s the difference between fawz and falaah, which are both translated as success. Allah Most High uses the word muflihoon in one verse and faa’izoon in the following verse (Verses 51 and 52 of Surah Al-Nur). What’s the difference?
Would appreciate your explanation, preferably with references too.

Assalaamu alaikum wa rahmatullaah brothers and sisters
May I tell you of a very beautiul and very beneficial web-site inshaa Allaah – for every serious student of Arabic and student of the Noble Qur’aan? It is called
http://www.qurancomplex.org
Available on this site are various tafaasir [interpretations/explanations] of the entire Noble Qur’aan – in Arabic – [free downloading] by some of the most famous and respected Imaams of the past including:
Imaam Ibn Kathir
Imaam al-Baghawee
Imaam at-Tabaree
Imaam as-Sa’dee – rahimahumullaah rahmatan waasi’atan
Also available is something named: ‘At-tafseeru l-Muyassar’ which is the tafseer of the entire Qur’aan in an easy and simplified manner which is ideal for the beginner in Arabic as well as those new to the study of tafseer.
The site also has the ‘iraab [grammatical analysis] of the entire Noble Qur’aan, arranged in easy sections and parts, fortifying and complimenting one’s study of tafseer.
Also available for reading and study, are various other ‘uloom related to the Qur’aan such as ‘asbaabu n-nuzool [reasons/causes for the revelation of the aayaat].
For anyone wanting help with memorization of the Qur’aan, they have listening and memorization aids.
The blessed knowledge has been arranged on this site in very helpful and manageable parts facilitating a personal study program of the extensive material available.
They also have an authentic translation of the entire Qur’aan in English, – on-line- arranged in parts and sections – facilitating reflection – along with authentic hadeeth footnoted to various aayaat…there is more too…
The entire site is in Arabic. However, one can also view the site in other languages including English, Indonesian, French, Spanish, Urdu.
I ask Allaah to bless the noble Shuyookh behind the organisation of this unique project which is a great service to the Ummah I believe, whereby the fundamentals of the Islaamic knowledge is made so readily available to us.
This is just one of the services of ‘The King Fahd Qur’an Printing Complex’ which is based in the noble city of al-Madeenah al-Munawwarah.
Sister Ola, your site encourages others to learn and develop their knowledge of the language of Allaah’s Book, so I hope you will visit the site mentioned above, and benefit from it bi-idhnillaah, just as hope the Ummah will benefit from it too bi-idhnillaah. Pease also link to it inshaa Allaah.
Wallaahu dhu l-fadli l-’azeem, subhaanahu wa ta’aalaa.
Wassalaamu alaikum
ukhtu-kum fil-islaam.

can you give me more information about the two books below?
where can i obtain them?
and can you write them in arabic (the titles) so i can search for them
thanks
waslam
[2] This is not a suitable place to discuss these rhetorical devices, as a background of balaaghah is first required. But if anyone is versed in Arabic and would like to read more, I recommend them to refer to the book Kifaayat al-Alma’ee Fee Ayat Yaa Ard Ibla’ee by Muhammad ibn al-Jazaree (published by Dar al-Afaq al-Jadidah in Bayrut, 2003), or to refer to Tafseer al-Bahr al-Muheet by Abu Hayyan al-Andalusi.
