The Arabic Reader – A Teaser
Aug 27
[
﷽
In shā’ Allāh, it is our hope at Middle Ground to (re) launch a new (old) course I developed (some years back) titled, Taysīr Taʿallum al-Lughah al-ʿArabiyyah li al-Dirāsah al-Taʿabbudiyyah (Facilitating the Learning of Arabic for Devotional Studies/تَيْسِيْرُ تَعَلُّمِ اللُّغَةِ العَرَبِيَّةِ لِلدِّراسَةِ التَّعَبُّدِيَّةِ ) here after referred to as FLAFDS, with a new focus on reading, hence the addendum, The Arabic Reader (al-Qāri’ al-ʿArabī/القارئ العربي). My hope, by the grace of Allāh, is to help Muslim students of the Arabic language overcome some of their hurdles by immersing them in a program of reading in order to develop literacy. Below is a video detailing an example of how the course will be structured, followed by the excerpt from Dr. Hishām Ṭa Ha Shallāsh’s Awzān al-Afʿāl wa Maʿ ānīhā (أوزان الأفعال ومعانيها):

وقد أفردت طائفة من اللغويّين قسماً من هذا الموضوع بتأليف مستقل كباب « فَعَلَ وأَفْعَلَ » أو « فَعَلْتُ وأَفْعَلْتُ » منهم الفرّاء ومعمّر ابن المٌثَنّى وأبو زيد الأنصاري والأصمعي ويعقوب بن السكيت وأبو إسحق الزجّاج والآمدي وكمال الدين بن الأنباري وابن مالك. وكان الدافع إلى وضع دراسة في هذه الناحية الصرفية للفعل أننا و جدنا موضوعاته مشتتة في صفحات كتب النحو والصرف قديمة كانت أو حديثة فكان لزاما أن يصدر بحث مستقل يدرس هذا الجانب الصرفي دراسة مفصلة جامعاً أصوله وملحقاته
“A group of linguists dedicated a section of this topic to an independent composition, such as the chapter “Faʿala wa Afʿala or “Faʿaltu wa Afʿaltu”. Among them were al-Farrā’, Mu’ammar ibn al-Muthannā, Abū Zayd al-Anṣārī, al-Aṣmāʿī, Ya’qūb ibn al-Sikkīt, Abū Isḥāq al-Zajjāj, al-Āmidī, Kamāl al-Dīn ibn al-Anbārī, and Ibn Mālik. The motivation for composing a study in this aspect of morphology related to verbs was that we found its topics scattered across the pages of grammar and morphology books, whether old or recent. Therefore, it was necessary to produce independent research that examines this morphological aspect in detail, gathering its principles and extensions.”
