In reality, choosing such lessons and providing a sequencefor them is no ordinary task. This is merely the grace of theAlmighty Allh who made this writer accomplish suchan enormous task.
That is the grace of Allh. He grants it to whoever Hedesires.
All thanks are due to Allh that this book was found to be extremely beneficial wherever it was read or taught.
Many seekers of Arabic have written that they had losthope after several attempts. If they had not obtained this book, they would not have learnt Arabic.
This is the fourth edition of this book. Initially, this bookwas written in two parts. Now it has been divided into fourparts so that it can serve as a proper syllabus for highschools from the fourth class till matric.
This is the first part of the book. The lessons have beendecreased when compared to the previous editions.However, the exercises have been increased to an extentthat they can serve the place of an Arabic reader.

This part contains only fifteen lessons. But you will besurprised to note how much Arabic is taught with such afew lessons. The method of analysing sentences andrecognition has been so well explained, that one cannotachieve this by learning several other prevalent ArabicGrammar books.
The key to each part has also been published. Due to this,many learners have learnt Arabic on their own.
A student doing self-study can complete this part in aboutsix weeks. However, due to the presence of several othersubjects in high schools, it will be appropriate to make it aone year course in the fourth class. In Arabic seminariesand Drul lms, where only Arabic is taught, all fourparts of this book can be easily taught in one year.
Nevertheless, this book is such that every text bookcommittee and those in charge of the syllabi in themadrasahs should include it in their syllabus in order to
remove the difficulties of the students. They will berewarded by Allh and thanked by the people.
The summary of the opinions of the Ulam of everyprovince of India and the reviews of magazines andnewspapers is that this has been the most successfulattempt to simplify Arabic. This book is worth being

The following pages contain the valuable opinions of some
scholars. This should serve as a means of encouraging theseekers of Arabic. Others will not have to waste their timein looking for the merits of this book.

Reviews of this Book by the lam, professors of Arabic, authentic journals and
the lovers of Arabic
llmah Shabbir Ahmad thmn( )
This book is worth including in the syllabi of the madris. Itis perhaps the best book written in this subject. The authorhas done a tremendous favour to the seekers of Arabic.
Mouln Manzir Ahsan Giln( ), teacher at JmiahUthmniah, Hyderabad
May Allh reward you. This is a tremendous task. You havefavoured the Muslims greatly. You have decreased a burden from my shoulders.
Mouln Khjah bdul Hayy( ), professor at JmiahMillyah, Delhi

Mouln Muhammad Nzim Nadw( ), teacher atNadwatul Ulam, Lucknow
Many books have been written in India to learn the Arabiclanguage in the shortest period possible. However, I havenot seen any book till now that concisely meets the needs ofthe time. Mouln bdus Sattr Khn is entitled to thegratitude and thanks of the Indian students and teachers for
having written a very beneficial, easy and concise textbookto fulfil this need
From my personal experience I know that this book is veryvaluable in providing benefit. It is worthy of being includedin Arabic madrasahs and English schools so that thestudents can learn the language in a short period.

The success you have achieved in simplifying Arabic has
not been achieved by anyone, not even by the EuropeanOrientalists. This book is not merely dry Grammar but isan excellent textbook of Grammar and an interestingcollection of literature.
Janb Ghulm l , advocate of the High Court, Bombay
Such an interesting and easy book of Arabic Grammar hasnot been seen before. My children study it with greatinterest.

Zamndr , a newspaper of Lahore
Without exaggeration, we can say that the learned authorhas achieved extraordinary success. In our opinion this book is worth including in the syllabi of all government andnon-government schools where Arabic is taught. Wespecifically request the Punjab Text Book Committee to
grant the students the opportunity to benefit from it.
Al-Jamat , a newspaper of Delhi
Arab K Muallim in reality conveys the meaning of itsname that is, it is an Arabic tutor. My desire is that theprincipals of Arabic institutes include it in their syllabi.
The Journal Adab Dunyof Delh
Many books have been written till now in the modern trend
in order to simplify Arabic. I have seen practically all ofthem. However, the manner in which Moulan bdusSattr Khn has simplified a complex language such asArabic cannot be found anywhere.

I have ordered many books of Arabic Grammar andMorphology written in Urdu and English and have spentmuch money on them. But by Allh, these books have no
value in front of your book. I do not have sufficientpowerful words to describe the assistance I have receivedfrom your book in learning Arabic. Even now, if a Muslimfinds Arabic to be difficult, he is unfortunate and lackscourage.

I had a desire to study Arabic for a long time. I used many books but it was futile. When I studied your book, Imastered Arabic in a very short while. The surprising thingwas that I received no assistance from any teacher. Your
book in reality is a mirror of the Arabic language.
Muhammad Sharafud-dn , Hyderabad
I thought that Arabic was so difficult that I could not evenimagine learning it. However, as soon as I saw your book,my courage increased and I began studying it. I completedthe first part in a few days. Now send me the second part. Ido not think there is any book easier than this one.
Dr. Muhammad bdul Qudds , Madras
I read the first part of your book. It helped metremendously to the extent that now I am able to write afew sentences in Arabic. Undoubtedly your book will createa great revolution.

This amount of recommendation is sufficient for the onewho understands; otherwise so many reviews werereceived that a separate book could be compiled for thispurpose.

Request
A request is made to the teachers to study the bookthoroughly before teaching it. During your teaching stint,you will be able to refer your students to previous lessonseasily. There is no need to memorize the rules parrot-
fashion. As you continuously repeat the examples, the ruleswill become ingrained in your mind. You will also learn theArabic terms at the same time. It is appropriate to teach the book twice. First teach it superfluously and then in detailthe second time.
Translator's Note
Translating is indeed a difficult task and I therefore do notclaim to have fulfilled the right of translating this book. Iask the reader to overlook all shortcomings. Thoseattempting to translate any work of this calibre, will realizethe great hurdles one has to overcome, especially wherethere are many technical terms involved.
I have made an attempt to clarify the text as much aspossible and simplify the rules so that the beginner cangrasp them quickly. Where there was a need, I have addedexplanatory footnotes.

The original Urdu text of the book contains many errors,especially in the Qur'nic verses. I have corrected these inthe English version. In many cases, I have used tables toenlist sentences or examples. This was done for the sake ofgreater clarity although the original text does not have suchtables. Many new Arabic words used in the exercises havenot been mentioned in the vocabulary. I have enlisted these
as well. Many singular words did not have their pluralslisted. I have included these also for the benefit of thestudents.
I have used the arrow sign ( ) to indicate the direction ofthe text. In some cases, the text has to be read from left toright as in English, while in other instances, it has to be readfrom right to left as in Arabic.
I have provided the English equivalents of the Arabicgrammatical terminology for the sake of information. Thestudent need not learn the English terms. If one learns theArabic terms and understands them well, it is sufficient.
May Allh accept this humble effort from me and make ita means for my salvation, mn.

Lesson 1
Words and the Types of Words
1. A word having a meaning is called ( ). It is of three
types: ( ) noun, ( ) - verb and ( ) - particle.
An ( ) is independent of other words in indicating its
meaning. It also does not have any tense, e.g. () man,
( ) specific name, ( ) to hit, ( ) good, ( ) he, ( ) I.
A ( ) is a word that indicates some action together with
one of the three tenses, e.g. ( ) he hit, ( ) he went,
( ) he is going or he will go.A ( ) is a word whose meaning cannot be understood
without an ( ) or ( ), e.g. ( ) from, ( ) on, ( )
in, ( ) till, (
) The man went to the

musjid.
The Types of Nouns
2. Nouns are of two types:(1) ( ) definite and
(2) ( ) indefinite.
An indefinite noun is a word which refers to a generalthing. The word ( ) a man, does not refer to any
specific person. It can refer to any person. The word ()does not refer to any particular good thing. Every goodthing can be called ( ).
A definite noun refers to a specific thing. Zaid () is the
name of a particular person. Makkah () is the name of a
specific city. ( ) the man - refers to a specific person.

Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Volume One Volume One Volume One Volume One
Page 33
The Types of Definite Nouns
Definite Nouns are of seven categories:
1. ( ) proper nouns, e.g. ( ), ( ).2. (
) - pronouns, e.g. ( ) he, ( ) you, ( ) - I.
3. ( ) - the demonstrative pronoun, e.g. () this, ( ) that.
4. ( ) - the relative pronoun, e.g. ( ) who,( ) who (feminine).
5. ( ) vocative case, e.g.( ) O man,( ) O boy.
6. ( ) - the noun having ( ), e.g. ( ) thehorse, ( ) the man.
7.
( ) a noun which is related to any ofthe above-mentioned definite nouns, e.g.( ) Zaids book, ( ) this persons book, (
) the book of the man.
8/8/2019 Arabic Tutor-Volume One[1]
34/200
Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Volume One Volume One Volume One Volume One
Page 34
Note: In these examples, the word ( ) has becomedefinite.
Besides the above-mentioned definite nouns, all othernouns are indefinite. They are also of several types, two ofthe main categories being:
(1) ( ) a word that denotes the being ofsomething, living or non-living, e.g. ( ) man, ( )
horse, ( ) stone.
(2) ( ) - a word that indicates the quality ofsomething, e.g. ( ) beautiful, ( ) ugly.

Lesson 2
The Particles of ( ) and ( )
1. The tanwn1 is generally attached to a word that isindefinite. In this case, it is regarded as a particle that
renders a noun indefinite ( ).2 It is translated as aor an in English, e.g. ( ) a man, ( ) an apple, ( ) water. There is no need to translate it everywhere as in theexample of ( ) water.
Note 1: Sometimes a proper noun also has tanwn, e.g.( ), ( ), ( ). In such a case, the tanwn is notregarded as a ( ).
2. The definite article of Arabic is ().3 It is also called (
). When ( ) is prefixed to any indefinite word, it becomes definite. Now the word is termed as ( )
1 See Terminology on page 22.2 This is similar to the letter a in English.3 It is similar to the word the in English.

the lm. If after the word ( = ), the word ( )appears, it will be read as ( ).
Note 3: The alif of (), ( ) and ( ) is also hamzatul wasl.It is not pronounced when joined to the preceding word.
Examples: ( ) is read as ( ) He is a son;( ) is read as ( ) This is a name;
( ) is read as ( ) Zaid is a son;( ) is read as ( ) Hmid is a name.
When ( ) is prefixed to ( ) and ( ), the lm of the () is
rendered a kasrah and joined to the () and ( ). Therefore
( ) is read as ( = ) and ( ) is read as (=). This rule is overlooked in general conversation.
6. When ( ) is prefixed to a word having one of the letters
of ( ), the lm of the () is assimilated into theharf shams, that is, at the time of pronunciation, instead ofreading the lm, the harf shams is pronounced. No jazm is

written on the lm in such a case but a tashdd is written onthe harf shams, e.g. ( ) the sun, ( ) the man,etc.
The ( ) are:
Besides these letters, the other letters are called (
), e.g. ( ) the moon, ( ) camel.

Compounds
1. A combination of two or more words is called ( ).
The relationship between them is called ( ).
2. Compounds are of two types: ( ) incomplete and ( )complete.(a) An incomplete compound ( ) is a combinationof words from which no information, order or desire isunderstood. It is an incomplete statement, e.g. ( ) a good man; ( ) a mans book.(b) A complete compound ( ) is a combination ofwords from which some information, command or wish isunderstood, e.g. ( ) - The man is good. Thisstatement provides us with the information that the man isgood.( ) Take the book. The order of taking the book isunderstood from this sentence.( ) O my Sustainer, grant me sustenance. Arequest is understood from this statement.

(b) the names of countries, e.g. ( ) Egypt, ( )
Syria, ( ) The Roman Empire.

Lesson 5
Singular and Plural
1. In Arabic, words are of three categories with regards tonumber:
singular ( ), indicating one, e.g. ( ) oneman.dual ( ), indicating two, e.g. ( ) two men.
plural ( ), indicating more than two, e.g. ( ) morethan two men.
2. The dual12 is formed by adding ( ) to ( ) - thenominative case13 or ( ) to ( ) - theaccusative or genitive cases14.Examples:( ) one king, ( ) or ( ) two kings
12 Although the author has referred the student to a future lesson, at thispoint, it will be sufficient for him to remember that there are two forms of thedual: one is with alif and n n and the second with y and n n. Lesson 10 willexplain where to use which one.13 This will be discussed in Lesson 10.2. 14
This will be discussed in Lesson 10.2.

words is like the masculine plurals, e.g. the plural of () year, is ( ) or ( ) and sometimes ( ).
Note 4: The ( ) that appears at the end of the ( ) - dual
form and the ( ) - sound masculine plural is
called ( )17. See Lesson 10.4. Some nouns are singular in form but refer to a wholegroup. There is no singular for them as well because theyare not plurals in reality. Such nouns are called ( ).Examples:( ) a nation, ( ) a group.These words are generally used like plurals in sentences,e.g. ( ) a pious nation.5. You have learnt in lessons 3 and 4 that the adjectivecorresponds with its noun in ( ), being definite orindefinite and in gender. Now remember that the adjectivehas to correspond with its noun in number as well.
17 Since the word ( ) is feminine in Arabic, the adjective also has to be
feminine, namely ( ).

Lesson 6
Sentences with a Noun -
1. You have read that a complete statement is called asentence ( ). See 3.2. Remember that sentences are of two
types: ( ) and ( ).
A ( ) is one in which the first part is a noun (), e.g.( ) Zaid is handsome.A ( ) is one in which the first part is a verb (), e.g.( ) Zaid became handsome.
Hereunder follow some rules of ( ) while the () will be discussed in Lesson 14.
The first part of a ( ) is generally definite ( ) whilethe second part is indefinite ( ). In the above example,
the word ( ) is definite while ( ) is indefinite.

65/200
Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Volume One Volume One Volume One Volume One
Page 65
Note 1: The difference between ( ) and () is that in the latter, both the parts are the same in being definite or indefinite while in the former, the first partis definite and the second part is indefinite. Consequently,in the above-mentioned example, if an indefinite noun takesthe place of the word (
) and you say (
), or you
render the second word ( ) definite by adding () to it,
and say ( ), both these will become adjectivalphrases ( ).
However, when the second part of a ( ) is not a wordthat can become an adjective of a noun24 , it is permissiblefor the second part also to be definite, e.g.( ) I am Ysuf.It is also permissible to insert a separating pronoun ( ) between the subject ( ) and the predicate ( ).Examples:( ) The man is pious.( ) The men are pious.24
For example, it is ( ), ( ) or ( ).

9. Very often the word () is prefixed to a ( ). As aresult, the subject changes to ( ) - the accusativecase while the predicate remains unchanged, e.g.( ) Undoubtedly the earth is round.Note 4: To create the meaning of interrogation in a sentence,( ) or () is added to the beginning, e.g.

Lesson 7
The Genitive of Possession
( ) 1. The compound in which both parts are nouns and the
first noun is related to the second noun is called (). Examples:
( ) the book of Zaid or Zaids book( ) the ring of silver( ) the water of the river.2. Such a relationship between the two nouns is known as( ).
3. The first part of (
) is called ( ) while the
second part is called ( ).
4. Neither does the definite article () precede the ( )nor is the tanwn appended to it. Look at the aboveexamples.

5. The ( ) is always ( ) - in the genitive case.
6. The ( ) always precedes the ( ).
7. The ( ), like ( )31 , is not a completesentence but is part of a sentence, e.g. ( ) Thewater of the river is sweet. In this sentence, ( ) is thesubject while ( ) is the predicate.
8. Sometimes there are several ( ) in one
construction, e.g. ( ) the door of the house ofthe leader; ( ) - the door of the house of theministers son.
The middle ( ) becomes the ( ) of the
succeeding words. Therefore () cannot precede it nor canthe tanwn be appended to it.
9. You have learnt in the first lesson that when an indefinite

noun is related to a definite noun, it also becomes definite,e.g. ( ) the slave of Zaid;( ) the slave of the man. The word () slave has become definite in these sentences.
10. In Arabic, because the ( ) precedes the ( )and no word can interpose between them, the adjective ofthe ( ) has to succeed the ( ), e.g.
( ) the pious slave of the lady. In thisexample, the word ( ) is the adjective of the word
( ). Therefore it is ( ),32 singular, masculine anddefinite.Hereunder are more examples. Understand the differencesproperly.

Lesson 8
The Scales of Words
1. In Arabic, the original letters of nouns and verbs are notless than three. The maximum number of letters in a noun isfive, and four in a verb. Together with the original letters,extra letters can also be attached. At such a time, the nounand the verb can have more than five letters.
Note 1: The original letter or root letter is the one thatremains in all the forms and derivations. Only in someexceptions is it deleted or changed to another letter.
The extra letter is the one that is found in one word-form but not in another, e.g. in the word ( ), all three letters
are root letters while in ( ), the alif and in ( ), the
first ( ) and the () are extra letters.
2. Words having three root-letters are called (), e.g.( ) and ( ).
If they have four root-letters, they are called ( ), e.g.
( ) and ( ).
8/8/2019 Arabic Tutor-Volume One[1]
89/200
Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Volume One Volume One Volume One Volume One
Page 89
If they have five root-letters, they are called ( ), e.g.( ).
Words made up of only root-letters are called ( ) while
those having extra letters as well are called ( ), e.g.( ) is ( ) three root-letters without any extraletters.( ) is ( ) - three root-letters with extra letters because the ( ) and ( ) are extra.
Note 2 : To distinguish whether verbs ( ), derived nouns
( )35 and verbal nouns ( )36 are ( ) or ( ), the ( ) word-form of the perfect tense
( ) has to be examined. If that word-form is free of extra
letters, then its derivatives and verbal noun will also beregarded as ( ), e.g. ( ) is ( ). Hence, the
35 These are nouns that are derived from the verb, e.g. () and ( ) arederived from the verb ().36
Plural of ( ), the infinitive.

Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Arabic Tutor Volume One Volume One Volume One Volume One
Page 90
imperfect tense ( ) which is ( ), the ( ) - ,the ( ) - and the verbal noun ( ) will also be regarded as ( ) although these forms have extraletters.
Similarly, in a paradigm, extra letters appear in a ()word which will still remain ( ). For example, the word
( ) is ( ). Therefore, ( ) and ( ) will also be
( ).
However, ( ) and ( ) are (
). The former has
one extra ( ) while the latter has an extra alif.
3. In order to determine the scales of words and todistinguish the root letters from the extra letters, the scale( ) of ( ) is used. In triliteral words (words with 3root letters), the ( ) represents the first radical (letter) of
the word, the ( ) represents the second radical of the word
and the ( ) represents the third radical of the word.

Page 92
4. At the time of determining the scale, the alphabets (),( ) and ( ) will take the place of the original letters whilethe other extra letters will remain as they are in their places.Examples:
However, when a letter is increased by repeating the ( ) or the (
), the ( ) or the ( ) is repeated in the
scale. For example, in the word ( = ), the first( ) is the ( ) while the second one is extra.According to the rule, the scale should have been ().
Instead its scale is ( ). Similarly, in the word ( ), the
final () is extra. Its scale will be regarded as ().
5. A great benefit of recognizing the scales of words is that by knowing the meaning of the root letters of a word, it becomes very easy to recognize the meanings of all itsparadigms and derivatives.

declension.Declension is of two types: one is ( ) which isshown by fathah, dammah and kasrah. The other is( ) which is shown by means of some( ) letters - as will be explained later on.
2. When a noun is:(1) the doer of the verb ( ), or the subject ( ) or
predicate ( ), it is said to be ( ) - in thenominative case. The examples of the subject andpredicate have passed in Lesson no. 6.
(2) an object ( ) or it indicates the condition ( )of the doer or the object, it is regarded to be in( ) - the accusative case.

) the
dammatain ( )39 will be read on it, in ( ) thefathatain ( ) will be read on it and in ( ), thekasratain ( ) will be read on it.
