• Level 0: The objective of this level is to enable you to read the Arabic script.
• Level 1: The objective of this level is to enable you to understand the religious Arabic used in the
routine life.
• Level 2: This level is designed to improve your language skills. You learn basic grammar and enhance
your vocabulary. After completing this level, you become able to understand 30-40% of the Islamic
literature in Arabic by using a dictionary.

vocabulary becomes vast. After completing this level, you become able to understand 75-80% of the
Islamic literature in Arabic by using a dictionary.

at this level. At the end of this level, you become able to appreciate the fine rhetorical concepts in the

dictionary frequently.
Level 1 – 5 are also divided into two streams. “A” series deal with the rules of Arabic Grammar &
Eloquence. Enough exercises are provided to you to learn the Grammar & Eloquence rules.
The objective of “B” Series is to build your vocabulary. Passages from the Quran, the Hadith and selected
writings of Arab scholars are provided to you. You have to learn the words and styles and then translate the
passages into English. You need not to cram these words. The lessons and the exercises are designed in a
way that you will automatically learn the grammar rules, words and Arabic styles. At this level, we shall not
provide you the answers for the B Series.
This program is not designed to teach you day-to-day conversation in the Arabic language. This program is
also not designed to teach you how to write in Arabic language. But this program will help you in achieving
these two objectives. You need an Arabic speaking environment as well as a teacher to achieve these two
objectives. Nevertheless, the program is basically designed to teach you comprehension in the Arabic
language.

Lesson 1A: The Groups of
Dear Reader!
At previous level, you have learnt the complete set
of . You have already learnt how 220
words are derived from a set of just three letters.

while performing prayer. Also try to keep this
sense while you are at work.
You know that these three letters are in their pure form in the first word of . Due to this, it is called
. which stands for “three alone letters.” We combine these three letters with other fixed letters
along with dhammah, fathah, and kasrah to produce over 220 words.
Arabic language has a very interesting feature. Sometimes, one or more letters are added in the first word of
and then further words are derived from it. This feature increases multiple times the capacity of
producing words out of just three letters. Logically, over 1000 words can be produced in this way from a set
of just three letters.
Sometimes one letter is added to the set of three, whereas two or three letters are also added to the set of
three letters in order to produce different groups of words. We shall discuss in this course only eight of these
groups commonly used in the Quran. Each group is called “the chapter ( )” by the grammarians. Their
names are as follows:

1. This is a style of expressing an indirect anger in Arabic. Allah has talked to the Prophet angrily but His wrath is
directed towards the chiefs of Makkah who deviated from the teachings of the Prophet . In order to
express Allah’s wrath on the chiefs, the Surah is not directed towards them to express Allah’s wrath over them.
2. The name of that blind man was Abdullah Ibn Umm Maktoom who was a great and sincere companion.
He entered to the company of the Prophet while he was conveying the message of Islam to the chiefs of Makkah.
The Prophet frowned at him due to disturbance. Allah showed His disapproval for the chiefs of Makkah and asked
the Prophet to pay his full attention to his sincere companions instead of the arrogant chiefs.

nice. Arabs used to enjoy it a lot and poets considered it their friend. The other is

(1) “Muzara’ah” means that the landlord gives his land to a farmer on rent. The rent is either payable in
form of a share in crops. It may also be payable in gold, silver or currency.
During Prophet’s time, some landlords used to fix the portion of land near to a river for themselves. It was
an exploitation of the farmers. Prophet forbade that. Giving land on rent is allowed only if there is no
exploitation. Such situations are described in the opinions of the Companions and Tab’ieen. Similar is the
situation in many Muslim countries now where feudal lords exploit the peasants. All this exploitation is a
violation of Islamic teachings.

“Diyah” means the penalty imposed on a person who causes physical harm to other unintentionally by
mistake. If the harm is intentional, then retaliation will be taken from him unless the aggrieved person
accepts the Diyah. The Prophet implemented the amount of “Diyah” according to Pre-Islamic Arab
Tradition which is mentioned in the above mentioned Hadith. It was paid and received in form of camels
which was the most valuable thing in Arab. As a matter of ease, the tribe of the person causing harm was
liable to pay the amount jointly. During expansion of Islamic State to Non-Arab countries, it became
difficult to pay “Diyah” in form of camels. Therefore, Caliph U’mar fixed it in gold and silver coins.

(1) The Prophet’s instructions are so strict in following the government because if a group revolts against
the government to suppress the unjust behavior of the ruler, it results in a civil war. A civil war does not
stop the offense of the ruler, but it tears out the entire society completely. We can see examples in our
present world. Islam allows a peaceful struggle against the injustice of government but it does not allow
any armed struggle as mentioned in above Ahadith.

every written item in it. Some of them use it to describe that piece of
communication which causes a change in mind, and emotions of its audience.
An effective piece of communication must be clear, complete, concise,
cohesive, concrete, correct and creating a nice impression. It should contain
unique way of description, intellectual depth, fantastic imagination, and
attractive presentation. This is called “effectiveness”. The effectiveness of a
good piece of communication is similar to that of a masterpiece of music,

The prose of Pre-Islamic Arabs was in form of sermons and public speeches. It was
mainly oral. The Quran is the first compiled book in pure Arabic literature which
was written and read widely (the Quran itself means ‘the read book’). Arab Jews &
Christians also translated Bible into Arabic. Arabs used to memorize their literature.
The art of writing was developed after the Quran. During second century Hijra (8 th
century CE), there was a great revolution. Import of paper started at a large scale
and compiling books was started. People used to write before it but these written
documents were like personal diaries.

Lesson 5A: The Sentence Starting with a Verb
Dear Reader!
We have already discussed that there are two
types of sentences, .
Build Your Personality
Be generous to your parents. The right of
parents is more than any other person.
We have already discussed the former. In this lesson, we shall discuss the .
• A consists of three elements: the verb , its subject and its object . The first two are
essential part of a sentence while the object is an optional part. As you have already seen that different
words used for verbs already contain a built-in subject. That’s why these words are complete sentences by
themselves. These are single-word sentences.
• Sometimes a separate word is used as the subject or the object. For example (The man
opened the door). In this sentence, is the verb, is the subject and is the object. These
subjects and objects are called the “Apparent Nouns ( )”.
• Whether the apparent subject is singular or a plural, in both cases, the verb used will the one used for
singular nouns. For example, (The men opened the door), (The women
opened the door), (The two men opened the door), (The two women
opened the door). You can note that for , the will be used whereas for
, the is used.
• If the is plural of non-intellectual nouns, its verb will be that of . For example
(The dogs went). You already know that the plural of non-intellectual nouns is considered
feminine in Arabic.
• You can use both masculine or feminine words for the following:
• If the is the plural of an intellectual noun. For example (The men went),
(The men went). Both are correct.
• If the is itself a plural noun. For example (The group went), (The
group went). Both are correct.
• If the is a non-living matter considered feminine by the Arabs. For example
(The sun rose), (The sun rose). Both are correct.
• If more than one verbs are used in a sentence. One verb is with plural while other is without it.
We shall use the first one singular and other plural. For example (The men went and
helped), or (The men went and helped). Both are correct.
• Sometimes the is brought before the verb. It has no impact on the meaning but the emphasis is
shifted on the subject. For example (The group went), (The group went).
Quranic Arabic Program 117
Level 04

Lesson 5A: The Sentence Starting with a Verb
• There are some verbs for which an object is not mandatory. For example “He went”. The sentence is
complete and an object is not mandatory. They are called . There are certain verbs which are
meaningless without an object. For example “He helped the other person.” Here the verb is not fully
understandable without the object. These verbs are called .
• In active voice, the subject will always be in the subjective case whereas the object will be always be
in the objective case .
• As you have already learnt that there is no subject in the passive voice. In that case, the object takes the
place of the subject and becomes its assistant. In passive voice, the object will be in the subjective case
.
• Usually the sequence of a is --
the emphasis.
but this sequence can be changed in order to shift
• Instead of single words, a phrase can be used as a subject or an object. For example (The
pious man sat). In this case, the is the subject because it is in subjective case. Here the subject
is a . Similarly in (The teacher of the school sat). Here the is
the subject which is a . The is in subjective case.
• In addition to the subject and object, a also includes some other phrase e.g. . For
example (Hamid sat on the chair), (Allah helped you at Badr). It
further explains the situation.
• Sometimes, two objects are also used. In that case both will be in the objective case . For example
(Hamid considered Zaid a scholar). Here both are the object.
• Sometimes, a situation is explained for a verb. It is called “Adverb” in English. In Arabic, usually an
adjective is used to describe the condition of a verb. For example
beat Zaid harshly). This adverb is called in Arabic and is always in .
(Hamid
• A noun which is as a noun may become an object in a sentence. For example in
(Hamid considered Abid a scholar), both are but they have been used
as in the sentence.
• Similarly a noun which is as a noun may become a subject in a sentence. For example
(Mahmood sat). Here is an as a noun, but used as in the sentence.
Therefore, being an is something different from its use in a sentence.
• Sometimes, the subject is brought before the verb e.g. (Hamid went to the home). This
sentence is a combination of a . Here is , while is its . In such
case the complete has become the of .

Poets enjoyed an extraordinary position in the Arabian society. Arabs had
a great taste of poetry. A poet was the spokesperson of his tribe. It was his
responsibility to establish the esteem of his tribe and degrade other tribes.
By just saying a few verses, he was able to motivate people, to increase
the respect of his tribe and to make a person or tribe disrespectful. When
the famous poet Al-A’asha decided to convert to Islam, the pagans gave
him 100 camels to avoid it because they were expecting a great impact of
his conversion to Islam.

In Pre-Islamic Arabia, there was no central government. Each person was protected by his
tribe. In case of a crime within a tribe, the criminal was punished by the respective tribal
chief. His family had to pay penalties for certain crimes. If a person committed a crime
against a person of another tribe who had good relations with the tribe of the criminal, he was
punished by the tribal chief on demand of the friend tribe. If he had committed a crime against
a person of an enemy tribe, he was protected by his tribe. It was the responsibility of that tribe
to wage a war against the tribe of the criminal to avenge from them for protecting the
criminal. This was one of the reasons of continuous inter-tribal wars. Such wars were not
limited among two tribes. Their friend tribes also had to participate in the war.

writing very long books in form of poetry because it was very easy to identify a mistake in
poetry. It was also easy to memorize. Such books were transmitted easily by memorizing

Prophet Muhammad

if it had nothing sinful. Make your life
easy, if there is nothing bad on the
easy path.
The verbs which change their original form after being driven from their source letters are called .
It means that some of their letters are reduced. It is like a decease that attacks on verbs and even the derived
nouns. There are three major reasons for it:
• There is a hamzah in the source letters. For example for .
• A source letter is repeated. For example for or for .
• One of three letters is used in the source letters. For example for , for .
These three letters are called .This name is given to it because means “decease”. The
verbs or nouns in which one of these letters is used, become deceased.

Sometimes, the word gives the meaning of “any”. It is called . It is used
in negative and interrogative sentences and the noun after it is . For
example (Is there anything else?),

Before invention of printing press, each copy of a book was written by hand. Such type of
book is called a “Manuscript ”. The Muslims of Middle Ages utilized their artistic
skills in writing because they did not like to engage in making paintings or sculptures.
Several million copies of different books were written by hand. It resulted in the art of
calligraphy.

1. Arabs used to refer all Central Asians as “Turks”. Saladin was a Kurd. His ancestors belonged to the
area of Kurdistan presently situated on the borders of Turkey, Iraq & Iran. By the time of Ibn Khuldun,
the Eastern Muslim world i.e. Central Asia, Iraq, Iran etc. were destroyed by Mongol invasions while
those of the Western Muslim World i.e. Spain & Turkey were destroyed by the Crusaders. At that time,
Egypt and India emerged as the center of intellectual activity in the Muslim World.
2. Arabs call the countries in their west as “Al-Maghrib”. It includes the countries of North Africa e.g.
Libya, Algiers, Morocco and the Muslim Spain or Andalus.

not based on wisdom. This view is not correct. The Shariah is totally based on intellect and natural ethics.

(1) Hadith experts consider the method of transmission while determining the authenticity of a Hadith. If a
student reads that in front of his teacher, it is considered the most reliable method because mistakes in his
reading are removed. If the teachers reads it in front of the student, it is also reliable. If a teacher writes it
to give it to the student, it is also a reliable method. If a teacher hands it over to the student without
reading, it is relatively unreliable because the script was not developed at that time to ensure that the
student has taken it correctly from his teacher. If a teacher gives permission to a student to narrate the
Hadith on his behalf without reading it in front of him, it was considered a relatively unreliable method.
(2) These are some issues related to mistakes in transmission of Hadith e.g. a word is unknown, it has two
meaning, it is read incorrectly, it is a homonymous word, or two narrations having contradictory meaning.

applying it to another situation. They strictly restrict the directive to that particular issue.
(2) Shi’a believe that their religious leaders, who are from the progeny of Caliph A’li are
protected by God from any mistake. Therefore, an additional source of Shari’a is added to the Quran &
Sunnah which are the opinions of those leaders.
(3) Khawarij was a sect who revolted against Caliph A’li and martyred him. They used to

(1) Since Ibn Khuldun is the founder of Sociology, therefore, he describes the sociological reasons of
events in the history. The Muslims of North Africa i.e. Berbers, who established an empire at Spain were
nomads. They had more interaction with the people of Hijaz and they were inclined to them due to a
common factor of Nomadism. That’s why the Maliki School of Though became more popular at Spain
and North Africa. On the contrary, other schools of thought were spread at civilized cities of Egypt, Syria,
Iraq, Central Asia and India.
(2) In the Sunni world, majority of people decided to close the door of “Ijtihaad” i.e. pondering directly
into the Quran and the Sunnah & using intellect to search for guidance. Instead of that, they started the
process of associating new situations to the previous ones and applying the verdict of their leaders about
previous situations to the new ones. This process is called “Tanzeer”.
(3) The strict following of one’s particular school of thought i.e. Taqlid did not remain their attitude in
Fiqh only. It spread across all other religious and secular disciplines. The Muslims remained at the same
state for next 1000 years. Extraordinary achievements of Europe and the decline of the Muslim World has
forced them to reinstate the process of Ijtihaad again.

(1) Logic means deriving unknown facts from the available information by pondering into it in a logical
way. It is done by way of deduction or induction. Example of deduction is that if A = B & B = C, then A =
C. This third statement “A = C” was unknown, but it is derived from the previous two conditions by way
of logical reasoning. Example of induction is that we observe that whatever mammal we see, it has eyes.
By reviewing a sample of mammals, we draw a conclusion that all mammals have eyes. At the time of Ibn
Khuldun, deductive logic was dominant but in the present world, inductive logic is dominant. All
developments of science and technology are dependent upon the inductive logic.

Lesson 7A: Words with Hamzah in their Source Letters
Dear Reader!
In last lesson, we discussed the different types of
deceased verbs. We shall discuss them one by one. We
start our discussion with the easiest i.e. .
Before proceeding further, note the two points:
Build Your Personality
Make the life easy for the people around
you e.g. your family, subordinates,
servants. Don’t pressurize them.
• All the are related to specific movements. is associated with fathah, is associated with
dhammah and is associated with kasrah. The reason of this association is that Arabs feel it easy to
speak these words with such movements. When a hamzah comes with fathah, it is written as , when it
comes with a dhammah, it is written as , and if it comes with a kasrah, it is written as .
• Changes in a verb or its derived noun may be mandatory or optional. A mandatory change means that all
Arab belonging to different areas and tribes accept the change whereas an optional change means that all
Arab do not accept that change. Some Arabs accept it while others reject it.
In case of , the rule related to mandatory change of word is as follows:
• There is only one rule for a mandatory change. If two hamzahs are combined simultaneously in a word,
the second hamzah will be changed according to the movement of first hamzah. For example:
• In case of source letters , first word of of will be on the
structure of . Now two hamzahs are combined. We will change the second hamzah according to
the movement of first hamzah which has a fathah. So the second hamzah will be changed to and
the word will become or .
• For the same source letters, the will be at the structure of . We shall change the
second hamzah according to the movement of first hamzah which has a kasrah. So the second
hamzah will be changed to and the word will become .
• For the same source letters, first word of of will be on the structure
of . We shall change the second hamzah according to the movement of first hamzah which has a
dhammah. So the second hamzah will be changed to and the word will become .
• We can describe these changes in the form of a formula to memorize them:
•
Quranic Arabic Program 169
Level 04

Lesson 7A: Words with Hamzah in their Source Letters
In case of , the rules related to optional change of a word are as follows:
• If before a silent hamzah, there is a letter other than hamzah, then that silent hamzah can be converted
into according to the movement of letter before it. For example:
•
•
•
• If a hamzah has fathah and the letter before it has dhammah or kasrah (not fathah), that hamzah can be
changed to according to the movement of letter before it. For example:
Rule of the Day!
In order to express grief or regret word (Alas!) is used
for it e.g. (Alas! We were offenders.) For
regret, the word is used e.g. (Regret
on the slaves!)
• If there is a silent or before a hamzah which has any movement, that hamzah can be changed to
or and then merged in it. For example:
•
At the time of revelation of the Quran, some tribes were following the above optional rules and some ones
were not following the rules. As a result of that, a difference might had occurred in pronunciation while
reciting the Quran, if two reciters belonged to different tribes. The Quran was revealed in the language of
Quraish which was the tribe of Makkah and initial audience of the Quran. Therefore, the standard
pronunciation is that of Quraish.
In modern world, the majority of Muslims recite the Quran according to the pronunciation of Quraish. In
some African countries, people recite the Quran according to the pronunciation of other tribes. It has no
impact on the meaning. There is no rule to identify the words on which Quraish used to apply or did not use
to apply the above mentioned rules. We can learn it by listening the expert reciters.
In above examples, we have mentioned the standard Quraishi pronunciation in blue color. We have provided
you these changes to identify the differences in pronunciation in language of different tribes. Since these
optional changes are not important in understanding the Quran, therefore, we are ignoring them and focusing
on the mandatory change.

• Mandatory changes in are applicable only in . The reason is that
two hamzahs combine only in them.
• Mandatory changes are usually applicable in . The
reason is that two hamzahs combine only in them.
• Optional changes are possible in

used at the structure of . For example (to catch or to take) become (Take!). Similarly
(to eat) become (Eat!) and (to instruct) become (Instruct!). Actually the change
is as follows:

• We have learnt that the hamzah is converted into due to the movement as its previous letter. If a
word like or or is used before them, it converts back to its original form. For example:

Do you know? Pre-Islamic Arabs were surrounded by two super powers of the time: The Sasanid
Empire of Persia and the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire. Both of them were extremely rich. Arabs
used to attack the fringes of these empires for looting. Both of these empires established buffer states
between their mainland and Arabia in order to prevent themselves. The buffer state with Persia was
called “Heera ”. It was situated in Southern Iraq. The buffer state with Rome was called “Ghassan
”. It was situated in the area of present-day North Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Southern Syria. Arab
poets used to get patronage of the rulers of both of these states. There are a large number of Arabian
poems in praise of their kings, their palaces and beautiful locations.

for repetition of a source letter.

• First and Second Source Letter ( )

• First and Third Source Letters )
( are the same. For example (anxiety), (one third).
These source letters will be read separately like normal verbs and nouns.
• Second and Third Source Letters )

Arabs can be divided into two groups: The Progeny of Qahtan & the Progeny
of A’dnan. Former used to live in the South Arabia (i.e. Yemen). They were
civilized people and used to live in cities. They established two great
kingdoms: Saba & Himyar. The later used to live in the North & Middle
Arabia. They belong to the progeny of Ishmael, the son of Abraham
. They were mainly nomads. Some of them used to live in cities
like Makkah. They were further divided into two major tribes: Rabi’ah and
Mudhir. Each of them was further divided into several tribes, sub-tribes,
clans and families. The tribes and families were named according to that of
its founder. Prophet Muhammad belonged to Quraish which
was a branch of Mudhir.

Lesson 8A: Words with Repeated Source Letters
The rules of merging or not merging the source letters are as follows:
• If the two same source letters are coming simultaneously in a word and the later one has a movement,
they will be merged in the following way:
• As you have already seen in the last lesson that if the earlier one is already silent, it will be directly
merged into the second. For example:
|
•
• If the earlier one has a movement, it will be made silent and then merged into the later one. For
example:
|
•
• If the both of them have a movement and the letter before both of them is silent, the movement of
the earlier one will be moved to its precedent, it will be made silent and then merged into the later
one. For example:
|
•
• If the two same source letters are coming simultaneously in a word and the later one is silent and
earlier one has a movement, they will not be merged. For example:
|
•
• If another letter is coming between the two source letters or one of these letters already have a
tashdeed, they will not be merged. For example (He split), (He creates doubts)
• Sometimes, the same word has two meanings. In that case, the two letters are merged to describe
one meaning and not merged to describe another meaning. You can see the both separate meanings
in the dictionary. For example: (to help),
(reason),
(to insult, to use abusive language) etc.
(to prolong), (to tell a story),
(to cut),

Lesson 8B: The Exegesis of Qurtabi
Do you know?
The issue of verses is very serious. Nobody has seen the Hereafter. It is not possible to describe its
details because the words to describe the objects of Hereafter are not yet developed. Therefore,
metaphorical language is used to describe the objects of Hereafter. Let us explain it with an example. If
we have to describe inventions e.g. airplane, bulb, computer etc. of the modern world to the people of
ancient ages (say those living in 1000BC), we have no other option except to use metaphorical language.
We shall describe the airplane as an ‘iron bird’, bulb as a ‘lamp without oil’, the computer will be
described as an ‘artificial brain’ etc. It will be a senseless exercise for our audience (people living in the
year 1000BC) to debate about details of the iron bird or the lamp without oil or the artificial brain
because he has not seen that. If they will do so, they will never be able to conceptualize the real airplane,
bulb or computer.
The objects of the Hereafter are described in the same way. People with firm knowledge already knew
that it is not possible to conceptualize the objects of the Hereafter. They did not conduct any debate on
their details and believed in it a brief manner. But some religious sects who wanted to distort the message
of the Quran started explaining such objects in their literal meanings. Their explanations were so illogical
like the interpretation of the people in our examples if they try to draw a picture of an iron bird. Their
picture will definitely be much different from the airplane of our times.
Some sects declared the entire Quran as “metaphorical” in order to interpret it in their own way. Some
sects who wanted to prove their views from the Quran considered a verse is it was supporting their
views and declared it if it was rejecting their self-created views. Their opposite sects did the same.
Some examples of these sects are as follows:
1. Zanadaqah: It was a sect of the middle ages having atheistic views. They used to question the
reliability of the Quran by referring to the objects of the Hereafter.
2. Qaramatah & Batiniyyah: A sect of the middle ages. They used to interpret the Quran in their own
way that was contradictory to even the teachings of the Prophet . They used to interpret
as visiting their leader, as refraining from the things forbidden by their leader, as the
obligatory payment to their leader and as participating in their annual convocation.
3. Mujassamah: A sect of the middle ages who used to suppose a body for God similar to a human
being.
This was the attitude of “People having problem in their hearts” as mentioned in these verses. We seek
refuge of Allah from it. We should follow the attitude of the Companions of the Holy Prophet
. They used to believe in such verses without conceptualizing the objects of the Hereafter.
Other than these objects, all verses of the Quran are and provide us with the firm guidance.

first issue was that in one verse of the Quran, it is described that there will not be any relationship on the Day of
Judgment among the people and they will not talk to each other while at other place, it is described that they will
argue with each other. (b) The second issue was that it is mentioned in the Quran nobody will be able to conceal
anything from Allah while at other place, it is mentioned that the pagans will claim falsely that they were not
polytheists. (c) The third issue was that at one place in the Quran, it is mentioned that the heavens were created
before the earth and at other occasion, the reverse is described. (d) The fourth issue was that past tense is used to
describe Allah’s attributes. It means that now such attributes are not active. Ibn A’bbas satisfied that person.

1. “Al-Khabr ul Wahid” means a Hadith narrated by a single person. Mistakes or intentional manipulation is
expected in a Hadith narrated by a single person, therefore, such Hadith is acceptable if it is fulfilling the conditions
mentioned by Shaf’ii.
2. “Tadlees” is an unacceptable practice of a narrator of Hadith. For example, the Narrator A heard a Hadith from
the Narrator B who heard it from another Narrator C. Now, in order to reduce the steps in the chain of narrators, A
gives an impression that he has heard that Hadith directly from C by saying vague words e.g. “Reported by C”. It is
considered a type of deception and that Hadith is not considered acceptable.

1. “Qiyaas” is the process of legal analogy by comparison. For instance, liquor drinks are forbidden in Islam due to
their intoxication. By applying the process of legal analogy, all those items will be declared forbidden which contain
intoxication e.g. heroin etc. Similarly the Prophet imposed Zakat on camel, cows and goats. It will be imposed on
other animals according to their similarities with these three type of cattle. For example, Zakat for buffalos will be
calculated according to the rates of cows and that on flocks of deer will be calculated according to the rates of goats.

1. Shaf’ii described various examples of Ijtihaad. One of them is related to determination of Qibla direction. It is
essential for us to direct towards the Ka’aba during our prayers. If a person is at a distance, he/she will conduct
“Ijtihaad” to determine the direction of Qibla by using a compass or by looking at stars etc. Two persons may reach
to different conclusion due to their approach or their level of knowledge. The other example is related to the
reliability of witnesses. Ijtihaad will be conducted to determine whether a person is reliable or not. There may be a
difference of opinion in that matter.

The poet has described the hospitality of Arab Bedouin society and how did they care about their alien
guests. They were hospitable to any person coming to their village regardless of his/her tribe, race, color
and social status. They used to slaughter whatever cattle available to them despite of harsh conditions of
desert. If a person was unable to provide food to a guest, they had to face ill-fame spread by the guest
about them.
This poem describes a tale of a poor Bedouin who did not have anything and a guest came. He and his
family were so worried to provide food to their guest that a son requested his father to slay him and cook
his flesh in order to serve the guest. Suddenly, they saw a flock of wild cows. They hunted one of them
with their arrows and prepared food for their guest. As a result of that, the father became happy to serve
his guest and the mother became happy that her son was safe.

Do you know?
After the fall of great empires of the Muslim world, the majority of Muslims did not consider it important
to analyze the real reasons behind their decline in an unbiased way. They started moaning and expressing
their grief due to their decline. Most of them considered their decline as a conspiracy of Anti-Islamic
forces of the world and ignored their own weaknesses. This poem is an example of such attitude.
The real reasons behind the decline of the Muslims were two: (1) They degenerated their moral character
that was required by the Quran and the Sunnah. Comparatively, other nations improved their character.
(2) They lagged behind the other nations in creative thinking and intellectual growth in the field of
science and technology. The majority of Muslims never thought about these reasons and kept moaning
over several centuries.

A. All information about the Prophet coming by method will be accepted because there is no
doubt about it. The information coming through single-narrated Hadith will be evaluated. There are three
possibilities in that evaluation: (1) If all the narrators of a particular Hadith are reliable, the Hadith will be accepted.
(2) If even a single narrator is unreliable, the Hadith will be rejected. (3) If the matter is doubtful, then further
evidence will be collected to declare the Hadith reliable or unreliable. If there is no further evidence, then the matter
will be suspended and the Hadith will not be used in religious affairs.

A. Here the author is describing the details of further evidence which indicate that a Hadith is authentic and reliable:
(1) The Hadith is reported by Imam Bukhari (d. 256H) or Muslim (d. 261H). Since both of them are the most expert
scholars in this area. Therefore, a Hadith reported by either of them in their “Saheeh” is considered reliable.
(2) The Hadith is well known from different sources free of weaknesses in the narrators.
(3) The Hadith is accepted by the great experts of Jurisprudence e.g. Malik, Abu Hanifa etc.
B. The word is plural of that is used in Hadith-related disciplines as “hidden weaknesses” in the chain of
narrators. For example, Person X (born in 140H) is reporting a Hadith on the authority of another person Y who died
in 130H. It means that X cannot narrate a Hadith on the authority of Y because he died before birth of X. There may
be a hidden person between X & Y. Since he is unknown, therefore, the Hadith will be unauthentic.

A. There are mainly two reasons for rejecting a Hadith: (1) The name of one or more narrators is not provided in the
chain of narrators. (2) There is a blame on one or more narrators to be dishonest or not properly maintaining the
Hadith in their memory or in written format. In both cases, the Hadith will be rejected.
B. If one or more narrators are missing, it is called a Hadith. It is a general term. If two continuous narrators are
missing, the issue will become more serious and the Hadith will be called . If a person deliberately conceals the

A. Mursal is a Hadith in which a Tabii’ (student of a companion of the Prophet ) narrates something
directly from the Prophet. Here the name of the companion is unknown. There is a chance that the Tabii’ is reporting
the Hadith on behalf of another Tabii’ who may not be reliable. Since it is the matter of associating something to the
Prophet, therefore. the Mursal Hadith is not accepted.
B. If a Tabii’ usually describes Mursal Hadith and it is well-known that he reports only behalf of a companion or
another reliable Tabii’, even then that Mursal Hadith will remain between acceptance and rejection according to the
majority of Hadith experts. Another opinion is that such Hadith should be accepted. If the reputation of that Tabii’ is
that he narrates Hadith from reliable and unreliable people, then the Mursal Hadith will not be accepted.

A. “Ijazah” is permission of a Mohadith to a student to narrate Hadith on his behalf even he has not directly listened
Hadith from him. This usually occurs when the teacher has trust in him. “Wijadah” means that a person finds a book
of an author written in his own hand-writing. Therefore, the finder starts narrating Hadith on behalf of that author.
This may occur even if there is a gap of centuries between the two person. Confirmation is required that the book
really belongs to the author. This confirmation is obtained by carbon tests, or some scientific methods.

A. If a person uses general words like “Mr. X said” or “It is narrated from Mr. X”. The words do not indicate that
the narrator has listened the Hadith directly from Mr. X. This is called “Tadlees” and such Hadith is called
“Mudallas”. It is a form of deceit. An interesting form of “Mudallis” is “Mursal Khafi”. A Hadith is called “Mursal
Khafi” when a person Y narrates that “It is narrated from Mr. X”. X and Y belong to the same period of time but
they live in different countries or cities. It is not clear whether they met each other or not. Such Ahadith are also not
authentic because there is a hidden gap between X and Y.
B. They ( )
are the people who were present at the Prophet’s time but did not met him. Hadith
described by them is also “Mudallis” but it is acceptable because it is confirm that they would have heard the Hadith
from a companion and all companions of the Prophet are reliable.

A. Here the names of different types of rejected Hadith are described based on the 10 attributes of narrators
mentioned above. They are in descending order i.e. from the worst to better. They are:
(1) Al-Maudu’: Fake Hadith. The Hadith described by a narrator who associates fake Hadith to the Prophet.
(2) Al-Matrook: The Hadith described by a narrator who is blamed for associating fake Hadith to the Prophet.
(3, 4, 5) Al-Munkar: The Hadith whose any narrator commits a lot of mistakes, is careless or have some moral
weaknesses in his character. A’sqalani has given it the name of Al-Munkar. Other authors use this term differently.
(6) Al-Mu’allal: If a narrator of a Hadith has doubts or illusions, it is termed as Al-Mu’allal.
(7) Due to a mistake in a Hadith, there are several possibilities:
Al-Mudraj: The Hadith having some mistake causing a difference with the same Hadith described by others.
Al-Maqloob: The Hadith in which the names of narrators are replaced due to a mistake.
Al-Mazzel Fi Muttasil Al-Asanid: The Hadith in which additional names of narrators are added due to a mistake.
Al-Musahhaf: The Hadith in which dots of Arabic letters are misplaced.
Al-Muharraf: The Hadith in which there are mistakes in writing.
(8) The Hadith in which narrators names are not properly described. This usually occurs when a person who has
several names, he is famous by one name but another name is described. It does not have a specific name.
(9) The Hadith narrated by an apostate person who preaches his apostasy.
(10) The Hadith narrated by a person having bad memory. If it is a permanent problem, the Hadith is called “Al-
Shaz” and if it is temporary, then the Hadith is called “Al-Mukhtalat”.

A. This is the classification of Hadith in terms of its origin. If it is associated to the Prophet, it is called Marfu’, if
associated with a companion, it is called Mauquf and if associated with a Tabii’ or his student, it is called Maqtu’.
B. Here the author is describing different words used in delivering a Hadith by a teacher to the students. (1) I have
listened, he described it to me. (2) He informed me, I read it in front of him. (3) It was read to him and I was
listening. (4) He related it to me. (5) He gave it to me. (6) He allowed me orally. (7) He wrote to me. (8) From him,
it is narrated.
These words indicate the strength of link between the teacher and the student in a descending order. If the Hadith is
mentioned in first six words, it indicates that the student has obtained it from the teacher in a direct meeting. The last
two words indicate that the student has not directly obtained the Hadith from his teacher. It requires further
investigation to confirm whether the student has obtained it directly from his teacher or not.

Lesson 13A: The Verbs with Incomplete Meanings
Dear Reader!
We’ve completed the discipline of . Now we’ll discuss
the remaining concepts of in the last lessons of this level.
There are certain verbs in English which are used with other verbs
e.g. is, am, are, was, were etc. If you say “I am” or “he was”, the
sentence will not give any complete sense. You need another verb
or noun with them e.g. “I am writing”, “He is reading” etc.
Build Your Personality
If someone feels that he/she has
never made a mistake in his/her
life then it means that he/she has
never tried a new thing in the life.
Open yourself to change.
In Arabic, such verbs are . They are different from those which are deceased in their
form. These are deceased or incomplete in meaning. They are following

• (he becomes, he becomes in evening)
• (he becomes, he becomes at morning)

in )

Lesson 13A: The Verbs with Incomplete Meanings
• All of these verbs give to in a while the remains . Their action is opposite
to that of which give to and their remains .
• The word converts a to past tense e.g. (Zaid is standing) will become
(Zaid was standing). If it is added to , it gives the sense of distant past e.g. (He went a
long time ago). If it is added to , it gives the sense of past continuous tense e.g. (He
used to go). If the of is used with the , it adds doubt e.g. (He may
have gone). Sometimes is used to give a complete meaning e.g. (He is good).
• When the word is used with some attributes of , it does not convert it to the past tense because
Allah is beyond time. It gives the e.g. (Allah is the Forgiver, the Eternally Merciful).
• The word (he became) is used to describe “change or transformation” e.g. (Zaid
became a scholar) etc.
• The words are used to describe a change or condition at a specific time but
these words are also used to describe a general change or transformation. In that case, their meaning is
similar to e.g. (Zaid became rich), (Zaid kept sleeping at morning).
• The word (he was about to) is normally used to describe proximity of something e.g.
(The students are about to go to their cities during vacation) etc.
• The word (he remained) is normally used as a prayer or wish e.g. (May your enemy
remain weak) etc.
• (he remained forever) are used to describe continuation of a task or
adjective e.g. (Zaid continued to remain intelligent) etc. Here the is in meaning of ‘non’.
All these verbs mean “disappear, leave, stop” etc which are negative in meaning. The negation through
gives them a double negation. According to a mathematical rule “Negative × Negative = Positive”. The
same rule applies in language. The double negation makes the sentence positive.
• The word in (until he remained) is in the meaning of “until” e.g.
(The students remained standing until the teacher remained standing) etc.
• The word (he is not) belongs to the past tense but gives the meaning of the present tense, therefore,
its present tense is not used e.g. (Zaid is not standing) etc. Sometimes, the preposition is
also used with the of but there is not difference in the meaning e.g. (Zaid is not
standing). Its complete table will be:

omission is that the audience can easily understand that by pondering. Here the phrase omitted is “We present this
Quran as evidence that the people of Quraish did not deny the Prophethood of Muhammad on a logical base. Their
argument is that how a man can be a prophet.” They used to consider the Quran something like the false prophecies
of a soothsayer, poetry of a poet, or a revelation from the Satan. Allah rejects their argument and present evidence
that it is very logical that Allah raises a man as a prophet to warn about the Hereafter. The remaining part of the
Surah contains arguments on it.

2. Arabs knew very well that the winds were used to punish the nations of previous prophets. The A’ad were
punished by the heavily-blowing winds. The nation of Lot was fired with brimstone by winds. The
flood of Prophet Noah was brought by the winds carrying a lot of clouds. The Pharaoh was sunk in the
sea by splitting it by winds. These winds are presented as an evidence to the audience of Prophet Muhammad

for occurrence of the Hereafter which is inevitable.
3. Quranic Exegetes disagree on the meaning of . Some consider it orbits of stars and planets. Others describe it
the lines in the clouds. Since such clouds were used as a medium of implementing God’s punishment on the

repents immediately after he/she recognizes that he/she has committed a sin.
4. The word is used to depict a character. It may / may not necessarily means a specific person. It shows the
character of infidels who denied the Prophet.
Do you know? In the mythology of Pre-Islamic Arabia, angels were considered the daughters of God.
Similarly, Laat, U’zza and Manat were also considered the daughters of God. Arabs always wanted only
sons for themselves. Some Arabs used to even burry their daughters alive. There is an eloquent indication
of their arrogance and ignorance in these verses that they dislike daughters for themselves and associate
daughters to Allah. God is free from sons and daughters. For human beings, daughters are a great blessing
of Allah like sons.

adopted a unique style which contains elements of both poetry and prose. There is no example of that
genre in works of human beings. We can say that the genre of “sermon” is the nearest to the Quran. Each
Surah of the Quran is a sermon which has a central theme. All verses are related to that central theme in
one or another way. Relevant issues, question-answers, and arguments are described around the central

Lesson 15A: The Summary of
Use of
As we have discussed that is used to convert a common noun to a proper noun. It is a synonym of the
English word “The”. It is called “Alif Laam” or simply “Laam”. The rules of using it are different from that
of English. The detail is as follows:
• : It is used to specify a person who is well-known to the speaker as well the audience
e.g. (The governor came). Both the speaker and the audience know that which “governor” is
under discussion. It is also common in English and ‘the’ is placed.
• : It is used to specify a person who is known to the speaker only but unknown to the
audience e.g. (A governor came). Here, there is a possibility that only the speaker knows about
the governor but the audience is unaware about it. It is not used in English. In English, you’ll say “A
governor came”.
• : It is used to describe a category. Each member of that category is not under discussion e.g.
(Definitely, We created man from a sperm). Here the entire category of “man” or
“human being” is under discussion. In English, the is not used in such cases.
• : It is used to describe a category but each member of that category is under discussion e.g.
(Definitely, all human beings are in the state of loss,
except those who believed and did good deeds). Here each person in the entire category of “man” or
“human being” is under discussion. Therefore, exception is possible in such cases. In English, the word
“all” is added in such case. Note: The difference between the and the is that in the
former, entire category is under discussion but each member of that category is not under discussion. In
the later, each member of that category is under discussion.
• : Sometimes, an is used with certain names which has no meanings e.g.
In English, it is also used e.g. Alexander the great. Usually, an is used with the name of countries
but it is rarely used with the names of cities. Exceptionally, it is used with the names of cities e.g.
The reason is that means any city but means “The City of the Prophet”. It is also used with
. There is no rule about using an . It is used according to the speech of native people.

1. At the beginning of the call of the Prophet, if a person converts to Islam, it was lawful for them to live with their
Non-Muslim spouse. Later on, this permission was abrogated. According to Hudaybia Treaty between the Muslims
and the Pagans, it was mandatory for the Muslims to return any man coming from Makkah to Madina. Women were
exempt from that. Additionally, the Muslims were required to divorce their unbeliever wives and send them to
Makkah. Similarly, the Pagans were required to send believer women to Madinah. The Muslim as well as Pagans
were allowed to take back the dowry given to their women at the time of separation. If the Pagans refused to pay the
amount of dowry of an Pagan wife of a Muslim husband, the Muslims were allowed in these verses to adjust that
amount from the dowry payable by Muslim wives of Pagan husbands.

The Quranic Surahs are categorized in two types: Makki & Madani. The Surahs revealed before the
migration of the Prophet from Makkah to Madinah are focused on the primary message of
Islam i.e. Oneness of God, Prophethood and the Hereafter. Answers are provided to the questions raised
by the Pagans.
The Surahs revealed after the migration, in addition to the primary message of Islam, also provide
detailed directives about the practical life. They provide answers to the questions raised by the Muslims
about their practical affairs. Makki Surahs address only two groups primarily: the Pagans and the
Muslims because these two groups were under discussion during the Makki life of the Prophet. The
Madani Surahs address four groups: the Muslims, the People of Book (i.e. Jews & Christians), the
Hypocrites and the Pagans. The style of expression in the Makki Surahs is more literary and persuasive
while that in the Madani Surahs is more descriptive. In the Makki Surahs, the Muslims are stirred up for
patience while in Madani Surahs, the Muslims are stirred up for fighting against the enemies of Islam
who were continuously attacking the Muslims.
