It assumes you can read Arabic script at a basic level (a teacher is best for learning to read and pronounce). Chapters 1 and 2 revise the alphabet, the vowels and the joining of letters. WHY ARABIC Dr. Israr Ahmed often said that every Muslim should learn enough Arabic to understand the Qur’an: not to become a scholar, but to understand directly what Allah is telling us. As an infant, the Prophet (peace be upon him) grew up among the Bedouin of Banu Sa’d, from whom he acquired clarity of tongue and purity of language. This book is a step toward reading the Qur’an and the Prophet’s sayings in their original language.
