Introduction Alhamdulillah, through the grace of Allah S Arabic: A Step by Step Guide Part 1 has been completed. This book is aimed at beginners who wish to learn the Arabic language. This part of the series covers the basics of ‫اجلملة اإلمسیة‬. At the end of the book there is a supplement of Quranic verses, Ahadith and Arabic proverbs. These consist of sentences a student should be able to understand after completing the book. About The Book Here are some important points about this book 1. This book has been prepared especially for English speaking students, hence, there are many areas where special explanation has been given to help in translation. 2. One of the main points kept in mind whilst preparing the book was to ensure that there are enough exercises to assist the student. 3. The vocabulary has been repeated throughout the book. This makes it easier to remember the vocabulary. 4. Even though Arabic grammar rules are discussed, details which may cause confusion to a beginner have been avoided. (See the discussion of ‫ غری املنصرف‬as an example). 5. Simple rules which may cause confusion have been explained and reinforced via exercises. (See Lesson 1, ‫)احلروف القمرية والشمسیة‬ 6. We have used English grammar terms along with the Arabic where there is a common English term e.g. ‫( مبتدأ‬subject). However, where the function is unique to Arabic we have just used the Arabic term e.g. ‫حرکة‬, ‫غری منصرف‬. 7. Revision lessons have been included to assist in recapping and reinforcing learnt subjects. 8. Spelling tests, words searches etc. have been added to make learning vocabulary more enjoyable. Why are there no harakat on the words? We have placed the harakat on the words in the vocab list. Students should learn the words and their pronunciation from there. However, in the exercises there are no harakat. This is to help customize the students to reading without harakat, which is how classical and higher level texts are written. It may take time to get used to, but it is worth the effort. This book is very big yet it only covers a few topics? The book may seem voluminous, however it can be covered quite quickly as most of it consists of exercises to reinforce learnt lessons.

Before Starting This book does not cover the Arabic alphabet and other basic rules of reading Arabic. Hence it is necessary that the student be able to read Arabic before commencing this book. The Writing of Hamzah If a hamzah has a ‫ فتحه‬or ‫ضمة‬ ّ the hamzah will be written on an alif; and if it has a ‫ کسرة‬it will be written under an alif.

‫إَِمام‬

‫أ ْستَاذ‬

‫أَ َدب‬

The Writing of Yaa The letter yaa can be written in two ways. One is with two dots and one without any dots.

‫ی–ي‬ When the yaa is written with dots it will be pronounced, otherwise it will be pronounced as though it was an alif.

ِ َ‫ ِم ْفت‬،‫کِتَ ِاِب‬ ‫ إِلی‬،‫ َعلی‬،‫اح ْي – هدی‬ ْ

Writing Tips The letters of a single word join together.

ِ ‫ْمة‬ َ ‫حک‬

However, the following letters don’t join to the letters after them.

‫ادذرزو‬ ‫ أوراق‬،‫ درْوس‬،‫باب‬

Lesson 1 Definite & Indefinite Article I read a book yesterday. I read the book you were talking about. I read Arabic: A Step By Step Guide. In the first example, the word “a book” does not refer to any specific book. This is called a common noun. A common noun is a noun which is not particular and it is unidentifiable to the listener. It may be something that the speaker is mentioning for the first time. It carries an indefinite article. The indefinite article in English is “a” or “an”. The plural is “some”. Mass items (non-countable) such as “water” also come with “some” even in the singular. In the second two examples, “the book” and “Arabic: A Step By Step Guide” refer to two specific books. These are called proper nouns. A proper noun is either a name of someone / something, or it will have a definite article. A definite article indicates that its noun is a particular one which is identifiable to the listener. It may be something that the speaker has already mentioned. The definite article in English, for both singular and plural nouns, is “the”. Exercise 1 State whether the highlighted words are common or proper nouns. A man went to a village where he saw some boys. The man said to the boys, “Where is the masjid?” A boy said to the man, “The masjid is on that street.” The man went to the masjid and he saw a few people. He recognized one of the men because he was the tailor from his city.

‫ َم ْع ِرفٌَة‬and ٌ‫نَ ِک َرة‬

ِ َ‫ ن‬and the proper noun is called ٌ‫مع ِرفَة‬. In Arabic the common noun is called ٌ‫ک َرة‬ َْ

As mentioned before, the proper noun will either be a name or have a definite article, which in Arabic is "‫"اَ ْل‬.

‫ال ِکتَاب‬

‫الکتب‬ the books

the book

‫کت ب‬

‫کِتَاب‬

The indefinite article is ٌ‫( تَ ْن ِویْن‬tanwin). (ٌ‫ء‬, ٌ‫ء‬, ٌ‫)ء‬ some books (a few books)

a book

Notes: 1. In Arabic, names will have tanwin, but they will still be considered as ‫معرفة‬.

2.

‫ َع ِامر‬،‫ُمَ َّمد‬ Every noun in Arabic must have either "‫ "ال‬or tanwin; but no word can have both. (details will come in due course)

Lesson 2 Subject & Predicate Allah S is one. Muhammad Q is a prophet. The above two are examples of simple sentences. To make a sentence in Arabic carry out the following steps: 1. Remove the linking word “is”; 2. Translate both words into Arabic; 3. Ensure the first word is ‫;معرفة‬ 4. Place a ‫ ضمة‬on both words. 5. Example 1 Example 2 a Step 1 Remove the word “is” Muhammad is The book is good prophet Step 2 Translate into Arabic. Ensure the first word is

Remember: Arabic is written from right to left:

‫ُممد[صلی اهلل علیه وسلم] رسول‬

Notes: 1. The first word must be a proper noun, ‫معرفة‬, and the second a common noun ‫نکرة‬. Therefore if the subject is not a name, the definite article

"‫"ال‬must be added.

2. The first word is called ُ‫دٌأ‬ ٌَ َ‫ ٌاٌَلْ ٌُمٌْبٌت‬, subject; and the second ‫خ ْبٌ ٌُر‬ ٌَ ْ‫ٌاٌَل‬, predicate.

ِ

‫[واحد]خرب‬ َ ‫[ اَهلل]مبتدأ‬

3. There is no Arabic word for “is”. It is understood from the structure of the sentence. 4. If the predicate is an adjective it will be translated without an “a” even though it is ‫نکرة‬. The man is strong. However, if the predicate is a noun “a” must be added. Khalid is a teacher. Exercise 1 Translation

Lesson 3 Gender In English grammar non-living things are not considered to have a gender. For example, the words “book” and “chair” don’t have a gender. They are considered to have a neutral gender. However, in Arabic there is no neutral gender; all nouns are considered to be either masculine or feminine.

Identifying Gender The gender of nouns can be identified by the following: 1. Its meaning;

ِ َ‫ف‬ ‫اط َمة‬

‫َزيْنَب‬

Zainab 2. The letter ‫ ة‬at the end. This is called ‫الْ َم ْرب ْوطَة‬ Words ending in a long ‫ ت‬are not feminine.

Fatima

‫اَلتَّاء‬, the round taa.

‫َسیَّارة‬ ‫بَْیت‬

Similarly, words with masculine meanings are not feminine. e.g. ‫َساتِ َذة‬ َ ‫( أ‬male teachers) Note: A ‫ ة‬can be added to adjectives to make them feminine. A ‫ فتحة‬should be placed on the last letter before adding the ‫ة‬.

‫کبری – َکبِْی َرة‬

It is important to remember that this can only be done to adjectives. Nouns cannot be changed in this manner.

‫قلم – قلمة‬

If there is ambiquity in English as to whom is meant we will place a (f) after theword to indicate feminine. Exercise 1 Change the following adjectives into the feminine.

‫) صعب‬13

‫) جالس‬9

‫) صادق‬5

‫) عذب‬14 ‫) رجل‬15 ‫) وسخة‬16

‫) مفتوح‬11 ‫) مغلق‬11 ‫) سهل‬12

‫) کاذب‬6 ‫) قائم‬7 ‫) طويل‬8

‫قوي – قَ ِويَّة‬ ‫ضعیف‬ ‫کبری‬ ‫صغری‬

The Effect of Gender on ‫ مبتدأ‬and ‫خبر‬ If the subject, ‫مبتدأ‬, is a feminine word, the predicate, ‫خرب‬, must change to agree with it.

Unmarked Feminine Words We have previously studied two rules to identify feminine nouns. However, there are also some nouns in Arabic which have no rule by which they can be categorized as feminine.

Lesson 4 Possession the man’s book the teacher’s pen In the above examples you would have noticed that the words “book” and “pen” are being attributed to its owners; “the man” and “the teacher”. The ’s shows the connection between the two words. To make such a phrase in Arabic the following steps must be carried out; 1. Change the English order around (i.e. place the owned first and the owner second); 2. Translate into Arabic, 3. Place a ‫ ضمة‬on the first word and ‫ کسرة‬on the second.

Lesson 8 Broken Plurals A broken plural is a plural in which the singular form is disturbed. There is no fixed rule for broken plurals. They must be learnt and memorized from the vocab list. Below are some patterns on which the broken plural comes.

‫أَفْعِ َالء‬ ‫أَنْبِیَاء‬

ِ ‫م َف‬ ‫اعل‬ َ ِ ‫َح َدائق‬ ‫َح َقائِب‬ ‫َمَر ِاسم‬

ِ ‫م َف‬ ‫اعْیل‬ َ ‫َشبَابِْیك‬ ‫َم َفاتِْیح‬

‫أَفْعِلَة‬ ‫أَ ْجنِ َحة‬ ‫أَْم ِکنَة‬

‫فِ َعال‬

‫بَِالد‬ ‫ِجبَال‬ ‫ِديَار‬ ‫ِريَاح‬

‫أَفْ َعال‬

‫أَبْ َواب‬ ‫أَقْ َفال‬ ‫أَقْ َالم‬ ‫أَيَّام‬

‫ف عل‬ ‫رسل‬ ‫سفن‬ ‫قط ر‬ ‫کت ب‬

‫ف ع ْول‬

‫رء ْوس‬ ‫طی ْور‬ ‫عی ْون‬ ‫فص ْول‬

There are no extra rules for broken plurals. They behave like normal nouns, i.e. in possession nothing drops and when it is ‫إلیه‬

‫ املضاف‬it will have a normal ‫کسرة‬.

Plural of Non-Human Things and Their ‫خبر‬ The feminine plural, unlike the masculine plural, can be used for non-human items as well.

‫ َسیَّ َارات‬- ‫َسیَّ َارة‬

However, it is very important to note that plural non-human things, weather they be on the pattern of feminine plurals or broken plurals, they are grammatically considered to be singular feminine. Therefore the ‫ خرب‬of such words will be singular feminine.

‫غیرٌالمنصرف‬ We had mentioned before (page 8) that every word must have either an ‫ ال‬or a tanwin. We then mentioned two cases which are exempt from this rule; feminine names and non-Arabic male names.

ِ ‫الْمْن‬ These types of words are called ‫ف‬ ٌِ ‫ص ِر‬ َ ‫غَْی ُرٌال ُْم ْن‬. Here are some more details for ‫ص ِرف‬ َ

‫ َغْی ر‬.

Which Words Are ‫?غیرٌمنصرف‬ 1. All feminine names.

ِ ِ ‫ص ِفیَّة‬ َ ،‫ َعائ َشة‬،‫َخد ْجیَة‬

This also includes masculine names with a feminine sign on them i.e. ‫ة‬.

35


‫ َحََْزة‬،‫طَْل َحة‬

2. Arabic names with ‫ ان‬at the end.

‫ ِع ْمَران‬،‫عثْ َمان‬

3. Non-Arabic names which are longer than 3 letters.

ِ ‫ إِ ْمس‬،‫إِب ر ِاهیم‬ ‫ يوسف‬،‫ إِ ْسحاق‬،‫اعْیل‬ َ ْ َْ ِ ِ ‫ َغی ر الْمْن‬. Tip: Other than ‫ُمَ َّمد‬, ‫صالح‬ ْ َ , ‫لوط‬, ‫عاد‬, ‫ ش َعْیب‬and ‫ نوح‬u names of all prophets are ‫ص ِرف‬ َ

‫فَ َعالِلَة‬ ‫َساتِ َذة‬ َ‫أ‬

ِ ‫م َف‬ ‫اعْیل‬ َ ِ ‫َم َفاتْیح‬

Lesson 9 Pronouns A pronoun )ٌ‫ضمیِر‬ َ ( is a word that is used in place of a noun.

Zaid is a very good man. He helps the poor. Pronouns are used in place of a noun that has already been mentioned, as in the example above. It is also used when speaking to someone, or speaking about oneself. I am ill. You are a hardworking student.

Subject Pronouns Subject pronouns are used as subjects.

‫ه َو تَعِب‬

[He]subject is tired.

‫الرجل م َسافِر‬ ّ

[The man]subject is a traveller.

The subject pronouns are as follows. Learn them by heart as this will be very helpful. Subject Pronouns Singular Masculine

f: feminine p: plural Third Person: the person who is spoken about.


Notes: 1. The word ‫ أَنَا‬is written with an alif at the end. However, that alif is not pronounced.

‫أَنَا = أَ َن‬

2. The words ‫ أنا‬and ‫ َنن‬can be used for both masculine and feminine. The context of the sentence will determine which is meant.

ِ ‫ََْنن طَالِب‬ ‫ان‬ َ ‫ََْنن طَالِبَات‬ The same applies for ‫ أنتما‬and ‫ُها‬. ِ ‫ُها طَالِب‬ ‫ان‬ َ َ ِ َ‫ُها طَالِبت‬ ‫ان‬ َ َ

‫أَنَا طَالِب‬ ‫أَنَا طَالِبَة‬ ِ ‫أَنْتما طَالِب‬ ‫ان‬ َ َ ِ َ‫أَنْتما طَالِبت‬ ‫ان‬ َ َ

3. In English, the word “it” is used for inanimate things. i.e. it is used for the neutral gender. This is my pen. It is quite nice. In Arabic however, there is no word for it as there is no neutral gender. Instead, the pronouns for “he” and “she” will be used. If the noun is masculine ‫ هو‬will be used, and if it is feminine ‫هي‬ will be used.

ِ​ِ ‫ ِه َي ثَِقْی لَة‬،‫اسة‬ َ ‫هذه کَّر‬

‫ ه َو َِثِ ْی‬،‫ه َذا قَلَم‬

This is an exercise book. It is heavy. 4. Pronouns do not change. i.e. if it is a ‫إلیه‬ the same.

This is a pen. It is expensive.

‫ مضاف‬it will not change to a ‫کسرة‬, rather it will remain

Notes: 1. First and second person pronouns show very clearly who is meant by it. i.e. I, we, you etc. However, third person pronouns must have an ‫ َعائِد‬,an antecedent (a preceding noun to determine who is being referred to). [Khalid] antecedent is a student. [He] third person pronoun referring to antecedent is hardworking. In this sentence, the pronoun ‘he’ refers to antecedent “Khalid”.

‫ ه َو ُْمتَ ِهد‬،‫َخالِد طَالِب‬

2. If there are both masculine and feminine antecedents the masculine will be given preference in terms of agreement.

.‫ هم ُمتهدون‬.‫أَحد وخدجیة وعائشة طالب‬ 3. The pronoun for a non-human plural antecedent will be singular feminine.

‫ هي ِثینة‬.‫الکتب جديدة‬ The books are new. They are expensive. When you are translating ensure you do not translate the ‫ هي‬which refers to non-human plural as “she”. 4. The pronoun must agree with its antecedent in both number and gender. The number and gender of the pronoun does not have to agree with the noun it is joint to.

‫اَلْم َعلِّ َمة َوبَْیت َها‬

‫اَلْم َعلِّم َوبَْیته‬

Notes: 1. The word for “my” is a simple ‫ي‬. The last letter of the word before it is given a ‫ کسرة‬and the ‫ي‬ itself carries a ‫سکون‬.

2.

ِ َ‫کِت‬ ‫ ْي‬+ ‫اب‬ ِ ‫اِب‬ ْ ِ َ‫کت‬ However, if the ‫ املضاف‬is a dual the ‫ ي‬will carry a ‫فتحة‬. The Dhammah Form

‫ي‬ َ + ‫صديقا‬ ِ ‫خالِد وع ِامر‬ ‫ي‬ َ َ​َ َ َ ‫صديْ َقا‬

44

The Kasra Form

ِ ‫ي‬ َ ‫َحقْیبَتَ ْی‬ ِ ِ ‫يت‬ َّ​َ َ‫أَقْ َالم ْي ِف َحقْیب‬

My pens are in my two bags.


3. Similarly, if the ‫ املضاف‬is a masculine plural the ‫ ي‬will carry a ‫فتحة‬. However, the ‫ و‬will change to a ‫ ي‬to make pronunciation easier.

ِ ِ )‫ي‬ َ + ‫م َعلِّم َّي (م َعلِّم ْي‬

‫ي‬ َ + ‫م َعلِّم ْو‬

‫م َعلِّم ْو َن‬

In other words, if the ‫ املضاف‬has a dropped ‫ن‬, (the rules of which we have studied earlier) the ‫ي‬ will have a ‫ ;فتحة‬and in all other cases it will have a sakin (‫ي‬ ْ ).

4. Broken plurals with the possessive pronoun ‫ ي‬behave the same as normal singular nouns with the possessive pronoun ‫ي‬.

Note: If a possessive phrase comes after a preposition, the ‫ املضاف‬will carry a ‫کسرة‬.

ِ ‫بیت الرجل – ِف بی‬ ‫ت الرجل‬ We did mention before that the ‫ املضاف‬has a ‫ضمة‬ ّ . That was just as a guide. In reality the ‫املضاف‬

doesn’t have its own harakat; it takes the harakat according to its position. So as a ‫ مبتدأ‬or ‫ خرب‬it will have a ‫ضمة‬ ّ , after a preposition it will have a ‫ کسرة‬etc.

Lesson 12 Indefinite Subjects (There Sentences) As mentioned previously, the ‫ مبتدأ‬is always ‫ معرفة‬and comes at the beginning of the sentence. The

‫ خرب‬is usually ‫ نکرة‬and follows the ‫مبتدأ‬. ‫معرفة [ِف البیت] خرب‬/‫الرجل] مبتدأ‬ ّ[

‫نکرة‬/‫معرفة [صاحل]خرب‬/‫الرجل]مبتدأ‬ ّ[

The man is in the house

The man is pious

However, a speaker may wish to simply state the existence of a subject without stating any information about it. There is [a man]subject [in the house]predicate. In this example, the speaker is merely informing that a man is present in the house. In Arabic, this type of sentence differs from normal nominal sentences in two ways: 1. the subject is indefinite (‫)نکرة‬ 2. the predicate precedes the subject

ٌُ ‫البیت]خرب [ٌَر‬ )‫جلٌ]مبتدأ (نکرة‬

‫[ِف‬

These types of sentences are used when the predicate is a prepositional clause. When translating them, the word “there” must be brought at the beginning of the sentence followed by the ‫ مبتدأ‬then the ‫ خرب‬.

Supplement This section contains verses from the Quran, Ahadith and Arabic proverbs and sayings. It will be very useful to memorize the proverbs. The vocab in this section is very intensive. Try your best to cover as much as you can. However, upcoming lessons will not be based on this vocab so don’t worry too much if you can’t cover it all. Notes: 1. If a sentence relates to a future event, like the hereafter, heaven or hell, then instead of using the present tense linking words “is” and “are” you will have to use the future tense linking words such as “will be”.

‫َهل ْم َجنّات‬

There will be gardens for them. 2. In some cases the ‫ خرب‬may be ‫ معرفة‬and have ‫ال‬. Don’t worry too much about it at the moment. This will be discussed in due course.
