Building blocks
Ism, fi'l and harf
Every single word in the Quran is one of three kinds: a noun (ism), a verb (fi'l) or a particle (harf). Learn to tell them apart, and to spot the signs that mark an ism.
Unit 2
Al- and tanween
Definite, indefinite, sun and moon
الْ makes an ism definite; tanween leaves it indefinite. Then learn why الشَّمْسُ is read ash-shams but الْقَمَرُ is read al-qamar.
Unit 3
I'rab basics
Raf', nasb and jarr
Arabic endings carry meaning. Damma signals raf', fatha signals nasb, kasra signals jarr — and those three states tell you the job each ism is doing in the sentence.
Unit 4
Huruf al-jarr
بِ ، لِ ، فِي ، مِنْ ، إِلَىٰ ، عَلَىٰ ، عَنْ
The seven most common prepositions of the Quran, what each one adds to the meaning, and how every one of them makes the ism that follows majrur.
Unit 5
Idafa
The possessive construction
Two nouns joined into one meaning, as in رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ — no الْ on the first, always majrur on the second.
Unit 6
The nominal sentence
Mubtada and khabar
Sentences with no verb at all, such as الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ: a subject in raf' and something said about it.
Unit 7
Pronouns
ضمائر — attached and detached
هُوَ ، أَنْتَ ، إِيَّاكَ and the little endings like ـهُ and ـنَا that attach to nouns, verbs and prepositions.
Unit 8
The verbal sentence
Fi'l, fa'il, maf'ul bihi
Verb first, then the doer in raf', then the object in nasb — the backbone of Quranic narrative.
Unit 9
Verb conjugation
Past and present
How فَعَلَ and يَفْعَلُ change for he, she, you, I and we — and how to read those changes in an ayah.
Unit 10
Roots and patterns
Verb forms I–X
How one three-letter root grows into a family of words, and what each of the ten forms adds to the meaning.
