times (50% of the words of the
Qur’an)

Understanding Qur’an
vs.
Learning Arabic Language

Major Differences in our 4


approach

www.understandquran.com
No. 1: Smooth Start

Start from Salah (Why use any other text,


when you want to understand Qur’an)…
If I want to teach you french and if I know that
you speak something in french for 1 hour, I
will say: Let us learn that first!
A common sense approach
Valid for every Muslim man, woman, old, and
young, and even for a child because he is…
www.understandquran.com
No. 2: Focus on Listening
and Reading

Writing √ -X-

www.understandquran.com
No. 3: More Focus on
Vocabulary
More focus on Vocabulary (just the way a
child learns…)
Less focus on grammar; otherwise if we
teach the way shown below, people will
run away!
،‫ مهموز‬،‫ مذكر‬،‫ جمع‬،‫غائب‬
‫باب إفعال‬
ُ ُ
‫يؤ ِم نون‬
‫فعل مضارع مرفوع بثبوت النون لنه‬
‫ والواؤ ضمير‬،‫من الفعال الخمسة‬
‫متصل في محل رفع فاعل‬
www.understandquran.com
No. 4: More Focus on Sarf

In Grammar, we give
More emphasis on Sarf (word construction)
Less emphasis on Nahw (sentence
construction)

Because:
• We are familiar with the topics of Qur’an;
• We are learning from existing English
translations;
• We are learning to repeat the translation,
rather than ‘translation’ itself.

Pondering: What &
How?
You don’t need it while you read a
!newspaper

You can’t read a book of science


!without pondering at each sentence

You can ponder only when you


!understand

Before we ponder, Let us look
at
Our Relationship with Qur’an

‫تدبّر & تذكّر‬: A simple method
• ASK: Each verse of the Qur’an
demands something from us. To
fulfill it, start with supplication.
• EVALUATE (your past day or week in
the light of that supplication)
• Make a PLAN of the next day /
week.
• PROPAGATE the message (The
Prophet pbuh said: Convey from me
even if it is one verse).

When it comes to group or Fiqh issues
or any new idea, then please check

others or implement it.

Then what is the real area for common


people like us?
Relationship with Allah, Following the
Prophet pbuh, planning for the
hereafter, Zikr, Worship, Morals,
Dealings, Dawah, Preaching and
Propagation, Ordering good and
Stopping evil, Team spirit etc.
www.understandquran.com
Example: ‫تذكّر‬ +‫تدبّر‬
Just Prayer / supplication is not enough.
One should evaluate his performance
and make plans.
Example: Do you think a student who just
asks Allah to help him succeed is
sincere if he does not follow it up with
studies?

The real target of this course is:
