Nouman Khan began his formal Arabic training during his childhood schooling in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He continued his Arabic grammar study in Pakistan, where he received a scholarship for ranking among the top 10 scores in the national Arabic studies board examination. Under the guidance of Dr. Abdus-Samie, founder and formal principal of Quran College in Faisalabad, Pakistan, he developed a keen methodical understanding of Arabic grammar. He further benefited from Dr. Abdus-Samie by internalizing his unique teaching methods and later translating his work into English for the benefit of his own students. Nouman currently serves as professor of Arabic at Nassau Community College and has taught Modern Standard and Classical Arabic at various venues for nearly 6 years with over 700 students. His handbook published by the Bayyinah Arabic Studies Institute for ARA-201 is also being used as a class aide at the Jaamiah-Al-Uloom Al-Islamiyyah, Institute of Islamic Education in Ajax, Canada.

So basically I urge everyone to listen to these lectures as the brother is simply brilliant in the way he teaches and his knowledge of the Arabic language is amazing. He goes into grammatical analysis of verses from the Qur'an and its astounding how perfect the Speech of Allaah is, the subtleness of it, the eloquence, and it really makes you desire to learn the language.

The 'Majesty of Divine Speech' is a series of 30 lectures presented by Br. Nouman after Taraweeh every night during Ramadan 1428/2007. The other episodes haven't been uploaded yet.

Here's a post from him:
The Literary Beauty of the Qur’an

The Qur’an; A Literary Marvel

There is enough academic work on the literary beauty of the Qur’an from grammatical, rhetorical, linguistic & other perspectives to take up several lifetimes to even skim through. I am no literary but I do have a deeply rooted conviction that at least a taste of the Qur’an’s majestic precision and subtlety should be appreciated by as many as possible. I think it adds a new dimension of appreciation and awe of the divine word, not just as something to be observed for its religious doctrine (though its guidance is its primary purpose of revelation), but also as a word that mesmerizes its reader or listener. Not only am I not a literary, I am also not a prolific writer as you may have guessed by now. My attempt in this series of mini-articles will be to share some gems of beauty I’ve come to appreciate from various notable sources. Of the many areas of concentration within linguistic analysis of the Qur’an, the ones that have captured my attention the most are
  • a. The incredibly precise use of near synonyms
  • b. The use of verbal and nominal idioms and expressions that require special attention in translation & analysis
  • c. Subtle intricacies in grammatical analysis and responses to grammatical criticisms
  • d. Beautiful lessons that can only be learned through comparative analysis of similar ayaat.
  • e. The study of micro and macro transitions (iltifaat) in the Qur’an.
All of the above require proper definition which will, insha Allah be forthcoming. It is my hope that this brief inquiry into the beauty of the Qur’an will benefit myself and the readership, at least in enhancing our appreciation of Allah’s final message to humanity wAllahulmusta’aan. I will attempt to keep the writing simple and easy to understand and avoid technical jargon and loaded vocabulary as much as humanly possible. I ask all of you to pray that I am able to communicate a clear, authentic and beneficial message.
