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.

A [Alif] as a prefix before a word/phrase is a Question.

For example;

A Fa Ra'aYT aladhee tawalaa...

(have you) then seen the one who turned away...

A Lam taRa kayfa fa'ala RabbuKa bi 'Aad

(have) not you seen how dealt your Rabb/Lord with [the people of] 'Aad?

The 'have' in brackets is the prefix - A - which is really just showing that the phrase is a question.

The Family

Mar'ah* = woman.
Nisaa' = women

Rajul = man.
Rajulun/Rijaal = men

Boy = walad,
boys = 'awlaad

Girl = bint,
Girls = Banaat

child = tifl, children = atfaal

*the h there is used as 'Taa' marboota (it has been tied to the end of the word and that's what maRBooTa means), and is placed only at the end of a word. It can either be pronounced as 'h' or 't'.

Usually the 't' is used if connecting to another word, and 'h' is used if its the end of a word or sentence for easy/smooth pronunciation. So the word Mar'a (woman) can be pronounced as Mar'ah or even Mar'at.

Iqra'!

Okay, now let's take the root word QR'a [to read/recite].

When a man reads, you'll say: Ar-Rajulu YaQRa'u

When a woman reads, you'll say: Al Mar'atu TaQRa'u

So you see the difference between males and females being discussed is the prefixes Y [males] and T for females.

Now check if these are right, or if not, what is the correct way?;

Al mar'atu ya'kulu? [the woman is eating]

Al mar'atain/aan ta'kulain/aan? [the two women (are) eating]

Al rijaal taShRaBoon? [the men (are) drinking]

Al rajulu yajree? [the man is running]

Al atfaal yajroon? [the children are running]

Huwa = males [he]

Hiyya = females [she]

Hum = lots of males [them]

Hun = lots of females [them]

What are the meanings of these phrases?

huwa yashrab

hiyya tashrab

Humaa yashruboon

Hunaa tashraboon

Usually, if there are lots of people without us having knowledge of their gender, they'll automatically be placed in the male category. I.e. radiyy Allahu 'anhum .

If it's females, then it's radiyy Allahu 'anhun (pleasure/satisfaction [of] Allah on them).

What do these arabic phrases mean?;

1) al atfaal yajroon ilaa [towards] buyootihim

2) al mar'ataan taTBuKhaan [TaBKh = to cook] li 'awlaadihin, wa banaatihin.

3) al muslim yasjud ilaa Rabih, wa ya qoowl; subhana rabee al a'la, allahuma ighfirlee. fa ghafarallahu lah, bi rahmatih. inahu huwal ghafoor al raheem.

Answers
1) the childrenrun (masculine) towardstheirhouses.
2) the two women cook for their sons, and daughters.
3) the muslim he prostrates towards his Rab/Lord, and he says; glory (to) my Rab/Lord the [Most]High, Oh Allah forgive me. So forgave Allah for him, with His Mercy. Surely, He He (is) the Forgiving, the Merciful.
