Baby Arabic Lessons

Learn the basics of arabic from here Insha Allaah (God willing.)

Okay, from this thread you'll learn some basic arabic which will help you understand the Qur'an abit more so when you read it, you can get a basic understanding of what is being recited inshaa Allaah (God willing.)

If i ever make any mistakes, or ever need any help - sister amirah_87 or Mawaddah, or any brother or sister who knows arabic can save us insha Allaah.

I only know the basics, and alhamdulillah since i've remembered some of these short techniques, i've been able to understand alot of what has been said, or atleast i've been able to get a basic understanding of what i recite. Inshaa Allaah it will be of benefit to you too.

I'm guessing you already know the basic arabic letters and their sounds inshaa Allaah, if not - the following picture will be a basic guideline. But i won't be going into depth regarding that since the aim of this is to learn just the basic aspects of the arabic language and a little grammar.

Each of the ten verb forms has a separate pattern for The Active Participle (AP) (the one who DOES the action of the verb) and The Passive Participle (PP) (the one who has it DONE TO IT)

for the first basic form (fa'ala):

AP- فاعل faa'il

PP- مفعول maf'ool

So for eg with the verb قتل qatala (to kill)

AP- قاتل qaatil (the killer/one who does the act of killing)

PP- مقتول maqtool (the one killed/one who has the action of killing done to them)

Each of the other 9 forms of the basic 3 letter root have their own patterns for the AP and the PP

They may seem a lot to remember but once you get the hang of it, it will be easy InshaAllah

these can be remembered by remembering the word dooar,دوار

Which means houses, but is also used to mean village.

Asalaamualaikum. fantastic thread. jazakhAllah!

for the urdu/punjabi speakers, another way this can be remembered (because its same as urdu alphabet nearly) is the non-connecting words spell out the word URDU in the urdu language like this -->
اردو

if you answered Balaa here it would mean Indeed (I am a Muslim) but if you answered Na'am here it would mean No (yes I'm not a Muslim)

I was wondering why that was Jazakllah khair.

Looking at the entire phrase in Arabic text, it looks like this:

جزاك اللهُ

From what I understand the wa over the ha at the end makes the pronunciation of the ha as hu, so the way I read it the proper pronunciation is jazakallahu

**Ummah** · 05-30-2007

JazakhAllahu bro woodrow

i hope i said that right! :|

JazaakAllaah is when directing it to brothers.

JazaakIllaah is when directing it to sisters.

The most commonly used one's are:

JazaakAllaah khayr - when addressing a Singlular Male

- Jazaakillaahu khayr- When addressing a Singluar Female.

- Jazaakumullaahu khayr - when you're directingly addressing a group of people, Male and female. Or just male only.

Hope it helps inshaAllah.

and for directly addressing a group of females you'd say:

-JazaakunAllaahu khayr.

Correct me if I'm wrong inshaAllah people.

Anyone who thinks that i've taught u how to make sentences, they're incorrect, sorry.

I was just teaching you how to understand what a word means, the 3 root letters, and the prefixes and suffixes for it.

Plus no-ones answered the questions i gave yet, which means that no-one understood? Or did anyone understand what i meant?

AsalamUAlaykum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh Wa Maghfiratuh.

i can do that insha Allaah.. the main source i learnt this stuff off was this:

Fundamentals of Classical Arabic [software/files]

but yeah i can put it onto word insha Allaah.

**snakelegs** · 05-31-2007

i have a question i've wondered about for a long time.
why do some words that end in the "a" sound have a ya and a straight line up above at the end. is there any reason other than that's how it is?
example - musa. issa too (i think) there's a number of them.

Assalaamo Alaikum :
I picked up this post from a website:
http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=53282

In recent years, it has become common to use numbers in transliteration to represent certain Arabic sounds that are hard to reproduce in English. For those of you who are not familiar with the system, here it is:

(The ones in red are the most commonly used.)

2 = أ (glottal stop; otherwise transliterated as ' ) Example: سؤال (su2aal)
3 = ع (guttural sound not found in many other languages; otherwise transliterated as ' ) Example: لعب (la3iba)
3' = غ (French and German "r"; otherwise transliterated as gh) Example: الغراب (al3'uraab)
5 = خ (German or Scottich "ch"; otherwise transliterated as kh) Example: باخرة (baa5ira)
6 = ط (hard "t" sound; otherwise transliterated as t or T) Example: وطواط (wi6waa6)
6' = ظ (hard version of the "th" sound in the English word "the"; otherwise transliterated as dh or DH) Example: أظهر (a6'hara)
7 = ح (highly aspirated, guttural "h" sound; otherwise transliterated as h or H) Example: بحر (ba7r)
7' = خ (see above)
8 = ق (guttural "k" sound; otherwise transliterated as q) Example: القارب (al8aarib)
9 = ص (hard "s" sound; otherwise transliterated as s or S) Example: أصل (a9l)
9' = ض (hard "d" sound; otherwise transliterated as D or dh) Example: بيض (bay9')
9: = ق (see above)
Best of luck
