Arabic language learning books(The renowned Madinah books)

Assalam alaykum waRahmatullahi waBakaratuh,

Alhamdulillahi rabbil-'alamin was salatu was salamu 'ala ashrifil anbiya wal-mursalin nabiyina Muhammad wa 'ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma'in
Amma ba'ad

For one to excel in understanding the Holy Qur'an and traditions of the Holy Prophet(s.a.w), proficiency in the Arabic language(at least written) is key. It is, however, very unfortunate that Arabic is not everybody's native language, in which case attainment of that required proficiency would only come with learning.

I believe that most of us, having had passed through that period of learning a new language at some point in our lives, would agree with me that finding the right resources is very important if one is to embark on that journey.

And for that, I'd like to share with you today a set of very nice books for learning Arabic, the "Duruwsu al lughatul 'arabiyya lighairi nnatiqiyna biha" (the "Learn Arabic for non native speakers") books, or the Madinah books, as famously known.

The books are written by Dr. V.  Abdur Rahim, with 50 rich years of teaching Arabic sciences to non-natives around the globe, 30 years as Professor of Arabic and then Director at the world renowned Islamic University of Madinah, an expert in the etymology of foreign languages, recipient of national awards for outstanding scholarship, and currently serving as Director of Translations at the renowned ‘King Fahd Glorious Qur'an Printing Complex’, Madinah.

 The books come in two sets; the first set has book I-III (which are in Arabic with no translation/transliteration) and the second set has similarly numbered books, book I-III, but in English, to serve as keys for the first set of books. The books may be used with/without the help of an instructor.

Best of luck in your language learning endeavours.

 Wabillahi Tawfiq!

VIZUIZI 12 VYA KUSHEHEREKEA MAULID

Hasan Al-Husayniy Imetafsiriwa na ‘Abdun-Naaswir Hikmany Shukrani ni za Allaah, na rahma zimuendee Mjumbe wake Muhammad (Swalla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam) ambaye ni mbora wa viumbe wote … Ninataka kuweka (wazi) mbele ya msomaji, vizuizi (nukta) vifuatavyo kuhusiana na washerehekeaji wa siku ya kuzaliwa Mtume (Swalla Allaahu 'alayhi wa aailihi wa sallam), ikitajwa tendo lao la kufanya hivyo, kwa mujibu wa Shari’ah ya Kiislamu; kitendo cha haki iliyoruhusiwa (Halali) au dhidi ya Shari’ah (Haramu). Kwa maneno mengine, je inastahiki kupatiwa adhabu? Zaidi ninamuomba Allaah, kwamba makala hii kuwa ni yenye manufaa kwa wote. Kizuizi Cha Kwanza Allaah (Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala) Amemtaka Mtume (Swalla Allaahu ‘alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam) kufuata yale ambayo Allaah Amemshushia na sio kubuni maelekezo ya ‘uongo’, Anasema katika maneno Yake ndani ya Qur-aan: ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاكَ عَلَىٰ شَرِيعَةٍ مِّنَ الْأَمْرِ فَاتَّبِعْهَا وَلَا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْوَاءَ الَّذِينَ لَا...
