(Book Cover)

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.

(A page from the second "Baab" of the Book)

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.
