This is a reference book for students of the Arabic language concentrating on the correct conjugation of Arabic verbs in all of their various forms. The book opens up with a brief introduction by the author and then is sectioned into “Abwaab” as well as an index.

(The first "Baab" of the Book)

The first “Baab” deals with all of the basics concerning the Arabic verb, its tenses, forms and types. The second “Baab” contains 78 verb charts from the various Arabic verb types conjugated in all of their complete forms. This section reminds me a lot of 201 Arabic Verbs. The third “Baab” lists all of the widely used Arabic verbs arranged in alphabetical order. There are 8,375 verbs in this “Baab”. After you study this section you will have a vast knowledge of most Arabic verbs that you come across in the Quran or Ahadeeth.

This book is fairly small approximately 5 ½ by 7 ½ and makes for a good reference book when you are reviewing at-Tasreef (the knowledge of Arabic Verb conjugation). It is very affordable and is one of those books that you will find your self going thru several times.

Book Review: Arabic for the Beginners

Arabic for the Beginners
by
Abdul Hamid Siddiqui

Published by Islamic Book Service
ISBN: 81-7231-352-7

(Front cover of Book)

This is like the first book that I ever studied when I was learning Arabic. For those Muslims who have been around since the early 90's you may remember the author, the late Abdul Hamid Siddiqui (rahimahullah), he was the brother who translated Saheeh Muslim and Mishkat-ul-Misaabih into the English language way back in the 70's. He was one of the early pioneers of English translators who was striving to get authentic material out to the Muslims of the West who did not understand Arabic. His translations were a form of inspiration that challenged me to learn Arabic in the hopes that one day I would be able to benefit the people through translating, I ask Allah to have mercy upon him and grant him the Jannat-ul-Firdaous.

I had long since lost the original copy of this book until one day while browsing in an Islamic bookstore, I found a mint condition re-print for only $7.95. Even though I had already studied the book from begining to end four times, the thought of owning this classic masterpiece once again made me reminisce of the days when I would gnash my teeth and pull out my heart trying desperately to understand the difference between an Ism, a Fi'l and a Harf.

This book consists of 26 Lessons that cover all of the basic Arabic grammar rules. Almost each lesson contains a set amount of vocabulary words and exercises after each lesson. The book is simple to follow and fun to study from.

The most challenging aspect of this book is the General Reading section at the end of the book that tests how well you are understanding Arabic. It contains several stories and several Ahadeeth and Ayaat from the Quraan.
