New Read Arabic by Video Course On Hold

Assalaamu Alaykum Everyone!

A while ago (May 2023) I announced the New Read Arabic by Video Course (Click Here).

Shortly thereafter I however decided to put that programme on hold, because after finishing the 1st one or two Video Lessons, I realized, I was tackling too many skills in one video lesson - which would have been very challenging to many Beginners Who Cannot Read Arabic.  I still intend to complete the series in future, but for now I decided to break the skills required up and offer various programmes that would bring the student to achieve the same goals - but at a more managable pace.

I have therefore decided to offer the Read Arabic in a Matter of 3-5 Minutes Programme first, in order to assist those students and friends who cannot read the Arabic script.

The Read Arabic in a Matter of 3-5 Minutes Series (of which 20 short Video Lessons have thus far been posted: See Here) included all the skills mentioned in the New Read Arabic by Video Course, except nos 8-10, relating to the different Quran Mushafs and Tajwid Rules (see below): 

8. The student will be shown how certain letters are written (differently) in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) as well as the Madani & IndoPak Qur'ãn Mushafs - from Lesson One.

9. Tajwid Rules will be covered to show the differing reading of MSA as opposed to Al-Qur'ãn.

10. Other differences in the two Mushafs: The numbering of pages & ãyãt & the different Stop/ Pause Signs - will be shown.

I sincerely apologize for delaying this Programme, but I feel the current course of events will benefit more people.

I hope you understand.

PS:  All info. related to the above course and other Video Lessons which are currently available, will be shared via our blog: EnjoyArabicMore and our YouTube Channel:

Read & Write 100s of words in Arabic

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

Assalaamu Alaykum Friends & Students

The Read & Write Arabic Course (see previous post) is essentially a course for adults and children 12 years and older. Ideally all children, especially those between the ages of 12 and 16 years (or younger) should be accompanied by an adult.

The course (which is based on the previous Read Arabic Today Course: http://readarabictoday.blogspot.com/p/blog-page.html) is primarily for those who cannot read and/ or write Arabic at all. Although the words that will be taught are primarily Quran vocabulary, the course is not only for people who want to read Al-Quran, but anything in Arabic. 

In addition to this the focus will also be on writing words and phrases in Arabic from Day One.  In the first module, students will only learn 5 letters of the Arabic Alphabet.  They will however immediately learn to read and write dozens of words (which appear more than 15 000 times in Al-Quran! https://schoolofarabic.blogspot.com/2011/09/read-understand-15000-arabic-words-in.html). The complete beginner will thus gain the ability to read, write and understand these words which appear throughout the Quran and in Arabic writing in general - after only learning five letters of the Arabic alphabet! The student will also be able to read, write and understand the 26 short sentences presented at the end of Module One.

In Module Two a further 5 letters will be taught.  At this stage the student would have learnt 10 letters of the Arabic Alphabet, but the amount of words will be multiplied at least 4 times!  After completing the first two modules, the Muslim or Non-Muslim student (irrespective of previous knowledge) should be able to read and write (75-100) Arabic words which appear numerous times in Arabic and on every page of Al-Quran! Once again 25 short sentences are presented, which the student should be able to read, write and understand upon completion 

The entire course consists of 5 or 6 modules (I'm still in the process of revising the last few modules).  From Module Three onwards additional letters and concepts will be introduced. Aspects relating to Tajwid ul-Quran (Rules of reciting Al-Quran correctly) and Makhaarij al-Khuruf (Place of articulation of letters) will also be covered throughout the course.  At the end of each module a few sentences or ayaat ul-Quran will be presented, which will only include the letters covered at that stage.

Each module will be presented over 2 or 3 sessions, at one session per week.  The student who provides his/ her WhatsApp and/ or email address will gain access to further lessons reinforcing each session attended in person.  These additional lessons will be in the form of audio or video presentations.  The purpose of these additional lessons is to assist the student with revising and internalizing the concepts taught.  

The ultimate aim of the course is to teach an absolute beginner how to read, write and understand 100s of words found in Al-Quran and in Arabic in general, In-Sha-Allah!
