Arabic – Quran Book


The Muslims’ Holy Book, the Quran, was sent down in the Arabic language and so, many Muslims around the world strive to learn Arabic to understand it from its own original words and be able to read Quran. That is besides the people who are learning it for other reasons. Although there are many Arabic dialects spoken around the Arab world, learning Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) would suffice one to understand the Quran Arabic text.

Quran in Arabic Text


There are several aspects of language to be concentrated on when learning Arabic that would quickly but surely allow you to reach a level from beginner to advanced. Firstly, semantics, which denotes the meaning of the words, is an aspect to be concentrated on when learning a language. This could otherwise be known as the vocabulary and Arabic language learners are encouraged to learn new words every day.

Further, Arabic words have a lot of similar root words. For example, k-t-b is a root for many other words such as kataba [he wrote], kitab [book], maktaba [library], kutiba [it was written] etc. This would ultimately allow Arabic language learners to comprehend the Arabic text on a deeper level. Another aspect is phonology which denotes the sounds of the language.

The Arabic language has 28 letters.


In fact, it is called the language of the ض as Arabic is the only language that has this letter/sound. Learning how to pronounce the Alphabet will allow the language learners to read the Quran and pronounce the words correctly.

Finally, another important aspect that needs a great understanding of is the syntax of Arabic. Syntax refers to the grammar of the language such as where we put words and how to change them. The syntax of Arabic is studied by many Arabic speakers around the world in what is called I’rab (إعراب). I’rab does not just cover the syntax of Arabic and it’s important to note that, without it, the Quran would be very misunderstood. Therefore, syntax would allow the reader to understand the structure of the Arabic language and the verses of the Quran.
