About this ebook
This is a Classical Arabic Grammar book for those who want to learn Arabic to read and understand Qur'an.It assumes that you know how to read Arabic at a basic level and two chapters are dedicated to revising the basics of alphabets and some additional concepts which are helpful.
This book does not teach Arabic from zero knowledge. A teacher is needed to read and write and pronounce Arabic.
There are thousands of example, many in the table form which you can use to memorize for vocabulary and practice by hiding the answer columns.
Arabic has been updated in this book to correct errors in e-books due to Arabic conversion. Please contact the author if you have an issue. Contact info is on the second page. A new version will be sent.
Arabic Ilm-us-sarf or word morphology is the first step in learning classical Arabic. It is the science of word origins. The word Sarf has many meanings but as applied to Arabic grammar, is defined as changing of a root word into different forms to create an intended meaning. As you will learn in this book, 99% of Arabic words start from a three-alphabet root word, which is then changed into different forms to create different meanings. These rotations of the root word are called تَصْريْفٌ tas-reef or inflections.
Prophet Sallal-lahu Alaihi Wa Sallam asked his Ummah to learn Arabic because it is the language of the Qur'an, it is his language and it is the language of the people of Jannah. Also, from the words of Imam Shaa-fai, knowledge is what is useful, not what is memorized.

Arabic Grammar For Beginners - Mohammed Sajid Khan
Introduction
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent and Merciful, and peace and blessings be upon His noble messenger Mohammed Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam. Ilm-us-sarf, or word morphology, is the first step in learning Classical Arabic. It is the science of word origins. The word Sarf has many meanings, but as applied to Arabic grammar, it is defined as changing a Root word into different forms to create an intended meaning. As you will learn in this book, 99% of Arabic words start from a three-alphabet Root word, then change into different forms to create different meanings. These changes in the Root word are called تَصْريْفٌ tas-reef or inflections.
In the Arab culture, the nomads, also known as Bedouins, speak better Arabic than the city-dwellers. The best speakers of Arabic are from the deepest wilderness/desert.
According to traditions, the Messenger of Allah SWT, Mohammed (peace be upon him), was sent as an infant into the wilderness where he grew up with Bedouins from the tribe of سَعْدٍ بَنُوْ ba-nu sa’d who lived around Taif. From those Bedouins, he acquired clarity of tongue and purity of language صَفَاْءُ اَلْلِّسَاْنِ وَنَقَاْءُ اَلْلُّغَةِ sa-faa’ul li-saa-ni wa na-qaa’ul lu-gha-ti. From my perspective, Arabic lends itself to presenting spiritual thoughts very well. The traditions of Prophet Sallallahu alaihi wa Sallam are concise and precise because of this language. It is hoped that this book will help in understanding these traditions also.
After the translation of Nahw Meer, the authoritative book by Meer Syed Sharif Abul Hasan Ali Bin Mohammed Al-Jurjaani, the feedback was that a basic Arabic grammar book in easy English is needed for ‘ilm-us-sarf or word morphology. This book is to fill that need. There are many books written on this subject. This is an attempt to simplify further and bring together some basic concepts.
As Dr. Asrar Ahmed said in one of his lectures, every Muslim should learn enough Arabic so that he understands the Qur’an. Not necessarily to become an ‘Aalim, but enough to understand the message and what Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’alaa is telling us. Unfortunately, this has been a tragedy, especially in the sub-continent, and other non-Arabic-speaking countries, where people would memorize Qur’an many times without understanding the meaning. I pray to Al-mighty for His Help and Guidance to learn the language of His last revelation and understand His message.
If you get through this book, I recommend following up with two books: 1 Nahw Meer: An English Guide to Arabic Sentences and 2 Darsi Tafseer English Condensed. The first book is an authoritative book on Nahw by Meer Syed Jurjani. The next book is the grammatical analysis of a part of the third Juzz of the Quran.
Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam asked his Ummah to learn Arabic because 1) it is the language of the Qur’an, 2) it is his language, and 3) it is the language of the people of Jannah. So also, from Imam Shaa-fai, knowledge is what is useful, not what is memorized.
I want to acknowledge all my teachers and those from whom I have benefited in whatever I have learned. May Allah SWT reward them here and in the hereafter. Also, thanks to my wife, Kishwar Khan, who gave up our time together so I could concentrate on doing this work.
I ask the Almighty to accept this very humble effort and make it of some use to those who use it to learn Arabic.
I also ask Allah SWT to give us guidance, righteousness, purity, and contentment and accept our efforts.

This section is being provided as a revision only. It is assumed that you know how to read Arabic. If you do not, it is required that you work with a teacher to learn to read and, if you wish, to write. This book is for learning classical/Qur’anic Arabic Grammar.
The first thing to note in Arabic is that it is written from right to left. Arabic has 28 alphabets. These are from right to left:
Table 1 - Arabic Alphabets
Besides, another alphabet which is ء Hamzah, is sometimes counted, and the total number of alphabets is counted as 29. Hamzah is the consonant version of the alphabet Alif ا.
Alphabets are divided into two categories. They are Sun alphabets اَلشَّمْسِيْ ash-Shamsi, and Moon alphabets اَلْقَمَرِيْ al-Qamari. This division is because of how they are pronounced when the alphabets ا Alif and ل Laam are in front of them. For example, al-Shamsi is read as ash-Shamsi, and al-Qamari is read as written al-Qamari.
