Qur'anic Arabic

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَانِ الرَّحِيمِ

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ، وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى أَلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ صَحْبِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيمًا كَثِيرًا

“Learn Qur’anic Arabic” was taught by Imam Dr. Yusuf Ziya Kavakci multiple times at Islamic Association of North Texas (IANT). Through only around 30-40 hours teaching, Imam Yusuf’s class helps the students wonderfully to understand the overall picture of Qur’anic Arabic grammar, and most of commonly used grammar phenomena appear in the Qur’an. The teaching is also organized in a systematical way which helps students to memorize what they learn. Imam Yusuf’s teaching leads students to start tasting and enjoying the beauty and accuracy of Qur’anic Arabic and, more important, the beauty and profound meaning of the Holly Qur’an. May Allah (SWT) reward him, his family, and his teachers the best for his many years efforts and patience to spread Islamic knowledge. Ameen.
