The Arabic language is not merely a tool of communication but the very vessel of revelation, the medium through which the Qur’an was revealed, the Prophet ﷺ instructed, and generations of scholars preserved the faith. Its unique system of expression, rooted in nahw (syntax) and sarf (morphology), elevates it above all other tongues and makes it the indispensable key to the Islamic sciences. Recognizing this, the scholars of our tradition devoted centuries to codifying and refining its sciences, producing vast literature that continues to serve as the foundation for any meaningful encounter with the sacred texts.
This course is designed to guide students along that path, establishing a strong and classical foundation in Arabic grammar and morphology. Students will be trained in theory and constant application — parsing, conjugation, and translation — until the principles of nahw and sarf become second nature.
By course completion, students will be equipped with the tools to unlock the Qur’an, Hadith, and the classical Islamic sciences — gaining clarity of thought, access to the tradition, and an appreciation of the light and worldview embedded within the Arabic language itself.
START DATE: March 31st, 2026SCHEDULE: Tuesdays & Thursdays 6:30 - 8:00 pm CSTFORMAT: Live Online Zoom Sessions (link provided after registration)
