ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

I owe a debt of gratitude to many people who helped in making this project a success. To begin with, I would like to thank Sr. A. Naviwala who, working on behalf of Darul Uloom al-Madania, prepared the first draft, which I edited. I would also like to thank Mawlana Ibrahim Memon for his valuable feedback. I am also indebted to my First year students at Darul Uloom (2011–2012 academic year) who suggested important improvements and pointed out the many mistakes. My prepatory year students at Darul Uloom (2011–2012), including Ahmad Hatim who proof-read the draft for the second edition, have also given me valuable feedback. I have greatly benefitted from their questions, comments and suggestions. May Allah reward them, and all others for their contributions and help.

FOREWORD

This is the second edition of the revised Ten Lessons of Arabic, which in turn was based on the famous Urdu language primer of Arabic grammar Das Sabaq [Ten Lessons] by Mawlana ‘Abd al-Salam Kidwai Nadvi. Das Sabaq in Urdu has been a part of the ‘Aalim course curriculum in Western madrasahs for a number of years. In 2011, I was commissioned by Darul Uloom al-Madania to edit a translation that they had prepared by revising an existing translation of the text that was available online. I completed the editing in a few months. During this process, I took liberty with the translation to make the content more accessible and beneficial to the student. The edited version was then used as a textbook for Darul Uloom’s eAlim program. At that time, I received a number of suggestions from eAlim instructors and students regarding improvement of the text. Later, I got the chance to teach the first four chapters myself during Ramadan 2011 to a sincere student. At that time, I realized the many flaws that had remained, especially in the first four chapters. I revised these chapters thoroughly to make them more student friendly. Later still, I got the chance to go over the whole text during the first term of 2011–2012 academic year, while teaching it to first year students at Darul Uloom. During this time, a number of issues came up and I made the changes accordingly. The first online edition was released at that time. Later, during the last two terms of 2011–2012 academic year, I got the chance to teach it again; this time, to the prepatory year students at Darul Uloom. More issues came up and I fixed them. Now, at the end of this academic year (2011– 2012), I have gone through the whole text again and revised it throughly. I have added more explanation and tables in many chapters. I have also revised the word lists and exercises, and reduced the overall number of vocabulary words. While teaching, I had felt that memorizing too many new words was taking the students’ attention away from the real thing, viz. grammar rules and construction of the language. In many cases, plurals of words are given, but they are merely for reference. Students should not be required to memorize these. The vocabulary lists still appear quite formidable. However, this is because of the many repeated words. If they were to be taken out, the overall count will be much less. This text has been revised multiple times. In the process, it has changed considerably and those looking for an exact translation of Das Sabaq will be disappointed. However, I believe it is now much more beneficial. I have tried my

best, with help from many of my students, to remove all of the errors in it. Nevertheless, as is the case with all human endeavors, there are bound to be some mistakes in it, and definitely, room for improvement. I hope that the readers, students and teachers, will apprise me of any such issues. Your feedback (suggestions, constructive criticism, etc.) is valuable to me. You can contact me at the email address given at the end. This is a beginner-level text but notwithstanding its ease, it should be studied with a teacher. It is also expected that the student will be studying other Arabic books along with it as well. I would recommend Fundamentals of Classical Arabic vol. 1 (by Dr. Husain Abdul Sattar) and Durus al-Lughah al-‘Arabiyyah vol. 1 (by Dr. V. Abdur Rahim). I got the chance to teach both during this academic year. They are both excellent books. There is some overlap between them and Ten Lessons. However, this should not be seen as redundancy, but as re-inforcement. Of the three, Fundamentals is for Sarf, Ten Lessons and Durus al-Lughah are for general Arabic. The last one is probably the best in terms of its gradual and progressive introduction to Arabic language concepts. However, the former two provide concise information for Sarf and Nahw, which is spread out in Durus al-Lughah. I recommend that Ten lessons and Durus al-Lughah be started at the beginning of the semester, while Fundamentals be started in the second half. Since this is a beginner-level text; therefore, Arabic words have not been transliterated exactly, keeping in mind that most people at this stage will not be comfortable with Arabic transliteration schemes. Rather, their approximate equivalents have been used that are easier to read for the untrained. Nevertheless, non-English words have been italicized. As for duals and plurals of Arabic words, the original Arabic duals and plurals have not been used; rather, their plurals have been created the English way by adding an ‘s’ to the singular. Thus, two dammahs is used instead of dammahtain. The word still remains italicized to reflect its non-English origin. The following abbreviations appear in the text: S = Singular M = Masculine

D = Dual F = Feminine

P = Plural

Many times, these have been used in combination. Thus, we also have the following abbreviations: (S/M) (D/M) (P/M) (S/F) (D/F) (P/F)

= = = = = =

‘Singular masculine’ which means one male ‘Dual masculine’ which means two males ‘Plural masculine’ which means multiple males ‘Singular feminine’ which means one female ‘Dual feminine’ which means two females ‘Plural feminine’ which means multiple females

I hope and pray that this revised edition will be of benefit to the students. I also pray that Allah Most High accepts this humble effort from all those who have contributed to it in any way, and gives us the power to continue with more. I also request the readers and all those who benefit from it in any way to remember us all in their prayers. And He alone gives success.

LESSON 1

ُ‫مُبُتُدُأٌُوخب ٌر‬

Subject and Predicate Consider the following sentences: ‘Mahmood is knowledgeable,’ ‘Haamid is pious,’ ‘Khalid is a conqueror.’ These sentences and other sentences of the same pattern are called mubtada (ٌ‫ )مُبُتُدُُأ‬and khabar (‫)خب ٌُر‬. The subject of the sentence is called mubtada and it comes at the beginning of the sentence. The predicate of the sentence is called khabar and it is the second part of the sentence. For example, in ‘Mahmood is knowledgeable,’ Mahmood is the subject and the information about him being knowledgeable is the predicate. Therefore, ‘Mahmood’ is mubtada and ‘knowledgeable’ُis khabar. To translate a sentence of this type into Arabic, follow these steps: 1. Take out the “is”. 2. Translate the words into Arabic.

3. Give two dammahs (‫ي‬ ُِ ‫ )ض َّمت‬to both words in the sentence.

Examples: 1. Mahmood is knowledgeable.

ُِ ‫ُمموٌدُع‬ ٌ‫ال‬

2. Haamid is pious.

ُ‫ح ِام ٌدُصالِ ٌح‬

3. Khalid is a conqueror.

ُ‫خالِ ٌدُفاتِ ٌح‬

4. Muhammad (Allah bless him and give him peace) is a messenger.

ٌُ‫ُم َّم ٌُدُ(صلَّىُهللاُُعلي ِهُوسلَّم)ُرسول‬

5. Naasir is a friend.

ُ‫َن ِصٌرُص ِدي ٌق‬

In the above examples, the mubtada is a definite noun.1 However, if it is a common noun, an alif-laam will be added to the beginning of the word. For example, if the first sentence was ‘the man is knowledgeable,’ it would be translated as ٌ‫ال‬ ُِ ‫ا َّلرجلُع‬. It is important to note here that whenever alif-laam comes before a word, the tanween becomes a single fathah (ٌ‫)ف تح ُة‬, kasrah (ٌ‫ )كسرُة‬or dammah (ٌ‫ )ض َّم ُة‬as the case

1

ِ ‫)ن‬. In Arabic, a definite noun is called ma‘rifah (ٌ‫ )مع ِرف ُة‬and a common noun is called nakirah (‫كرٌُة‬

1

Lesson 1

may be, eg. ‫ل‬ ٌُ ‫ رج‬becomes ُ‫ا َّلرجل‬. Alif-laam is mainly used in place of the definite article “the.” It gives distinction to a word. For example, ‘a man’ is any man and ‘the man’ is a specific man. Sometimes alif-laam is used for the meaning of ‘a whole category/class.’ For example, ُ‫لنسان‬ ُِ ‫ ا‬means ‘mankind’ and ُ‫ اْلمد‬means ‘all praise.’ If the mubtada is feminine, then the khabar will also have to be feminine. To change a word to its feminine form, add the round taa (‫ )ة‬to the end of the word.

For example, ‘the man is pious’ is written as ‫ح‬ ٌُ ِ‫ا َّلرجلُصال‬. Now if you want to say ‘the

ِ ‫المرأةُص‬. Similarly, ‘the girl is knowledgeable’ will be woman is pious,’ you will say ٌ‫اْل ُة‬ written as ٌ‫البِنتُعالِم ُة‬. Word List Arabic

LESSON 2

ُ‫افُإِلي ِه‬ ٌ ‫افُومض‬ ٌ ‫مض‬ Consider the following sentences: ‘slave of Allah,’ ‘messenger of Allah,’ ‘door of the house,’ ‘the Messenger’s order,’ ‘Mahmood’s pen,’ ‘Khalid’s book,’ ‘Hameed’s house.’ These phrases and those with a similar pattern are called mudaaf (‫اف‬ ٌُ ‫)مض‬ and mudaaf ilayhi (‫اف ُإِلي ُِه‬ ٌ ‫)مض‬.

One thing (mudaaf) is attributed to the other

(mudaaf ilayhi). Many times, the relationship is that of the possessed to its possessor. The possessed is called mudaaf and the possessor is called mudaaf ilayhi. For example, in the phrase ‘Mahmood’s pen,’ the pen is owned by Mahmood. Therefore, ‘pen’ is mudaaf and ‘Mahmood’ is mudaaf ilayhi. To translate a sentence of this type into Arabic, follow these steps: 1. Take out ‘of’ or the apostrophe and the ‘s,’ which show possession. 2. If you have taken out the apostrophe and the ‘s,’ reverse the sequence. Write the second word first and the first word second. If you took out ‘of,’ then there is no need to reverse the sequence. 3. Replace the English words with their Arabic equivalents. 4. Give the mudaaf a single dammah and the mudaaf ilayhi two kasrahs. For example, to translate the phrase ‘Mahmood’s pen’ to Arabic, first take out the apostrophe and ‘s.’ It becomes ‘Mahmood pen.’ Then, change the order of the words to ‘pen Mahmood.’ Next, replace the words with their Arabic equivalents. You get ‫قلمُُممود‬. Now, give the mudaaf a single dammah and the mudaaf ilayhi two kasrahs. You get ‫ق لم ُُمموٍُد‬. Following the same method, ‘Khalid’s book’ becomes

ُ‫كِتاب ُخالِ ٍد‬. For a sentence with ‘of,’ such as ‘ring of gold,’ first remove the ‘of.’ It becomes ‘ring gold.’ Now, replace the words with their Arabic equivalents. You get

‫خامتُذهب‬. Now, give the mudaaf a single dammah and the mudaaf ilayhi two kasrahs. You get ‫ب‬ ٍُ ‫خامتُذه‬. The rules concerning alif-laam have been mentioned in the first lesson. Those rules will apply here also. Thus, if there is an alif-laam at the beginning of the mudaaf ilayhi, the two kasrahs will become one kasrah. ‫ب‬ ٍُ ‫ خامت ُذه‬will become ُ ‫خامت‬

ِ ‫الذه‬ َّ . It should be noted here that the mudaaf never accepts alif-laam or tanween. ُ‫ب‬ For instance, in the above example, ُ‫ خامت‬will not accept alif-laam or tanween.

LESSON 3

ُ‫اضي‬ ُِ ‫ال ِفعلُالم‬ Past Tense Verb In this lesson, we will look at the various forms a past tense verb takes in accordance with the number and gender of the one(s) performing the action. To begin with, it should be noted that ُ‫ ف عل‬means “he (S/M) did,” ُ‫ ف عال‬means “they (D/M) did,” ‫ف علوا‬ means “they (P/M) did,” ُ‫ ف علت‬means “she (S/F) did” and so on. These verbs are in active voice (‫ف‬ ٌُ ‫)فِع ٌلُمعرو‬.

ِ (seeghah). Looking at the table below, In Arabic, each verb form is called ٌ‫صي غ ُة‬ we can see that there are fourteen seeghahs in it. Each of these seeghahs has a name. This name identifies, whether it is singular, dual or plural, whether it is masculine or feminine, and whether it is first person, second person or third person. In Arabic,

ِ ‫و‬, ٌ‫تُثنِي ُة‬, and ‫ْج ُع‬, respectively; first the words for singular, dual and plural are ُ‫اح ٌد‬ ٌ ِ ِ person is called ‫متكُل ٌُم‬, second person is called ‫حاضٌُر‬, and third person is called ‫ب‬ ٌُ ِ‫;غائ‬ and masculine is called ‫مذ َّكٌُر‬, and feminine is called ‫َّث‬ ٌُ ‫مؤن‬. Thus, singular masculine ِ ‫ و‬in Arabic. Dual masculine of the of the third person will be called ‫ب‬ ٌُ ِ‫اح ٌُد ُمذ َّكٌر ُغائ‬ third person will be called ‫ب‬ ٌُ ِ‫تُثنِي ُةٌ ُمذ َّكٌر ُغائ‬, and plural masculine of the third person will be called ‫ب‬ ٌُ ِ‫ْج ٌُعُمذ َّكٌرُغائ‬, and so on. In the case of the first person, because the gender is not identified, and there is no separate seeghah for dual, therefore, the two seeghahs, singular first person and

ِ ‫ و‬and ‫ْجعُمتكُلِ ُم‬, respectively. plural first person will be called ‫اح ٌدُمتكُلِ ٌُم‬ ٌ ٌ

Note: In the tables above, ُ‫ ف عل‬has been translated as “he did” and ُ‫ ف علت‬as “she did.” It should be kept in mind that these forms could also mean “it (masculine) did” and “it (feminine) did,” respectively. The same is true of other forms. The masculine could be any masculine thing or person, and the feminine could be any feminine thing or person.

Lesson 3

Changing Active Voice to Passive Voice Now, to change these verbs into passive voice, follow the following procedure. Put a dammah on the first letter (‫ )ف‬of ُ‫ف عل‬, and a kasrah on its second letter (‫)ع‬. It will

become ُ‫فعِل‬. Its meaning will change to “he (S/M) was done upon.” This is passive voice (ٌُ‫ل َُمهول‬ ٌُ ‫)فِع‬. Similarly, ُ‫ ف عال‬will become ُ‫فعِال‬, ‫ ف علوا‬will become ‫فعِلوا‬,ُ ُ‫ ف علت‬will becomeُ ُ‫فعِلت‬, and so on. We are listing below the verb forms (also called conjugations) of the past tense verb in passive voice. These should be memorized with their meanings.

Note: In these two tables, ُ‫ فعِل‬has been translated as “he was done” and ُ‫ فُعِلت‬as “she was done.” As mentioned above in the note after Tables 3.9 & 3.9a, these forms could also mean “it (masculine) was done” and “it (feminine) was done,” respectively. The same is true of other forms. The masculine could be any masculine thing or person, and the feminine could be any feminine thing or person.

Lesson 3

ِ‫و‬ Creating Conjugation Tables from ‫ب‬ ٌُ ِ‫اح ٌدُمذك ٌرُغائ‬ Having memorized these two tables, the next stage is to identify the verb forms of

ِ‫و‬ other verbs by comparing them to these tables. For this, we need to know that ُ‫اح ٌُد‬

ِ ُ‫ب‬ ٌ ‫ مذكٌر ُغائ‬of any verb table is considered to be the basic verb form. Generally, it is composed of three letters. The first is called ٌ‫فاءُكلِم ُة‬, the second is called ٌ‫عيُُكلِم ُة‬, and the third is called ٌ‫َلم كلِم ُة‬. Now all that remains to be done is to identify which letter of the new verb matches which letter of the basic verb form of the tables given above. Consider, the verb ُ‫( نصر‬he helped). Comparing this to ُ‫ ف عل‬of Table 3.1 or

Table 3.1a, we can see that in this verb, ‫ ن‬is the ٌ‫فاءُكلِم ُة‬, ‫ ص‬is the ٌ‫عي ُكلِم ُة‬, and ‫ ر‬is the ٌ‫َلم كلِم ُة‬. Once, this is established, it is easy to compare any of its forms with the rest of table.

LESSON 4

ٌُ‫ُمُفُعُ ُول‬،‫اع ٌُل‬ ُِ ُ‫ُف‬،‫ُفِعُ ٌُل‬

Verb, Subject, Object In Arabic, the word sequence in a verbal sentence is as follows: verb (‫ل‬ ٌُ ‫)فِع‬, then ِ ‫)ف‬, and finally the object (ٌُ‫)مفعول‬. subject (‫ل‬ ٌُ ‫اع‬

ُ‫( فِع ٌل‬verb) = the action being done. ِ ‫( ف‬subject) = the person doing the action. ‫اع ٌُل‬ ٌُ‫( مفعول‬object) = the person or the thing to whom or to which the action is being done.

ِ ‫ ف‬gets a dammah (or two dammahs as the case may be), and the ٌُ‫مفعول‬ Rule: The ‫ل‬ ٌُ ‫اع‬ gets a fathah (or two fathahs). Examples:

1. ‘Haamid helped Mahmood.’ In this sentence, the ‫ل‬ ٌُ ‫ فِع‬is ‘helped,’ Haamid is

ِ ‫ ف‬and Mahmood is the ٌُ‫مفعول‬. When translating this sentence into the ‫ل‬ ٌُ ‫اع‬ Arabic, the Arabic word for helped (ُ‫ )نصر‬will come first followed by the

ِ ‫ )ح‬with two dammahs, and then the maf‘ool, Mahmood faa‘il, Hamid (‫ام ٌُد‬ ِ ‫نصرُح‬. (‫ )ُمموًدا‬with two fathahs. The final sentence will be ‫ام ٌدُُمموًدا‬

ِ ‫ )خ‬opened (ُ‫ )ف تح‬a door (‫)َب َُب‬.’ The same order used for the last 2. ‘A servant (‫اد ٌُم‬ ً

ِ ‫ ف‬second and ٌُ‫ مفعول‬last) will apply here. Remember, example (‫ل‬ ٌُ ‫ فِع‬first, ‫اع ٌُل‬ ِ ‫ ف‬will get two dammahs and the ٌُ‫ مفعول‬will get two fathahs. The full the ‫ل‬ ٌُ ‫اع‬ ِ ‫ف تحُخ‬. sentence will be ‫اد ٌمَُب ًَُب‬

Notes:  If there is an alif-laam on any word, the tanween (double harakah) at the end will change to a single harakah (the two fathahs will change to a single fathah, the two kasrahs will change to a single kasrah, and the two dammahs will change to a single dammah). Thus, ‘the servant opened the door’ will

ِ ‫ف تح ُاْل‬. Here, the alif-laam caused the double harakah be written as ُ‫ادم ُالباب‬ to be dropped, and only a single harakah remained.

19

Lesson 4



ِ ‫ ف‬or a ٌُ‫مُفُعُ ُول‬. For Mudaaf and mudaaf ilayhi can combine to form a ‫ل‬ ٌُ ‫اع‬ example: ِ ‫ف تحُخ‬ ُ‫ادمَُممودُُالُباب‬

Mahmood’s servant opened the door.

ِ ‫ف تحُاْلُ ِادمَُُببُالب ي‬ ُ‫ت‬ The servant opened the door of the house.

ِ ‫ف تحُخ‬ ِ ‫ادمَُممودَُببُالب ي‬ ُ‫ت‬ Mahmood’s servant opened the door of the house. In this case, it is important to remember that the mudaaf does not accept an alif-laam or a tanween. However, the mudaaf ilayhi can accept both.

ِ ‫ ف‬or ٌُ‫ مفعول‬will show on the mudaaf alone Moreover, the effect of being a ‫ل‬ ٌُ ‫اع‬ and not the mudaaf ilayhi. Word List for Verbs English

LESSON 5

ُ‫الُُرُوفُُالُاُرة‬ Prepositions The following particles are used as prepositions in Arabic. They occur quite frequently. Table 5.1

Prepositions (ُ‫)الُ ُرُوفُُالُاُرة‬

from; than

ُ‫ِف‬ ُ‫ِمن‬

to; up to

on; upon

‫علُى‬

for; belongs to

ِ ُ‫ب‬ ُ‫إِل‬ ُ‫ِل‬

as, like

ُ‫ك‬

up to, until

ُ‫حت‬

about; from; regarding

ُ‫عن‬

by (for oath)

ُ‫و‬

in; regarding

with; at

The words that come after these prepositions end with a kasrah on the final letter. Below, we give examples of each of these.

Besides the ten prepositions listed above, there are seven other prepositions that occur less frequently. Since they do occur; therefore, it is appropriate to mention them as well. They are as follows: 1.

ُ‫ت‬: by (for oath). This is specific with Allah, the Exalted. Example: ِ‫هللا‬ ُ ‫–ت‬ By Allah!

Zayd went from the village to the city. Mahmood killed the lion with the sword. I cut the cloth with the scissors. She milked the cow’s milk in the bowl. You (S/M) put the shirt and the pants (one pair) in the box. You (P/M) wrote on the cards with pencils. They (P/F) ate biscuits with butter and cream. By Allah (oath). The teacher asked the students about the lesson. Allah made the night-time for sleeping and the day-time for working. Buffalo’s milk is whiter than cow’s milk. Gold and silver are like stones to Zahid. I looked towards the moon and the stars. They (P/M) opened the lock with the key. We went to the garden and we sat on the grass.

ُ‫ال ِفعلُالمضاُِرع‬

ِ Creating Passive Voice ٌُ‫لُمضا ِرع‬ ٌ ‫فع‬

In lesson 3, we discussed the method of converting ‫ف‬ ٌُ ‫اض ُمُعُُرُو‬ ٍُ ُ‫( ُفِعُ ٌُل ُم‬past tense active

voice) to ٌُ‫اض َُمُهُ ُول‬ ٍُ ُ‫( ُفِعُ ٌُل ُم‬past tense passive voice). Now, we discuss the method of

converting ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫ ُفِعُ ٌُلُمُضُاُِر‬from active to passive voice. ُ‫ي فعل‬, which means “he does or will

do,” is in active voice (‫ف‬ ٌُ ‫)معرو‬. To convert this ‫ف‬ ٌُ ‫عُمعرو‬ ٌُ ‫ ُفِعُ ٌُلُمُضُاُِر‬to ٌُ‫عَُمُهُ ُول‬ ٌُ ‫ُفِعُ ٌُلُمُضُاُِر‬, we give the first letter a dammah and the third letter a fathah. ُ‫ ي فعل‬becomes ُ‫ي فعل‬, ُ‫تض ِرب‬ becomes ُ‫تضرب‬, ُ‫ ي فتح‬becomes ُ‫ي فتح‬, ُ‫ أُنصر‬becomes ُ‫أُنصر‬, and so on.

ُ‫ال ِفعلُالمضاُِرع‬ Note: When a passive verb is used, the ‫ل‬ ٌُ ‫اع‬ ُِ ‫( ُف‬subject) is not mentioned. Rather, the

ٌُ‫( مُفُعُ ُول‬object) takes the place of the ‫اع ٌُل‬ ُِ ُ‫( ف‬subject) and is called ‫اع ٍُل‬ ُِ ُ‫( َنُُئِبُ ُف‬subject of the passive verb) or ‫ل‬ ٍُ ‫اع‬ ُِ ُ‫( قُ ُائٌُِم ُمُقُامُ ُف‬substitute subject). Since it takes the place of the ‫اع ٌُل‬ ُِ ُ‫ف‬, it also gets a dammah. Examples:

ٌُ‫اضَُمُهُ ُول‬ ٍُ ُ‫ُفِعُ ٌُلُم‬:

ُ‫ – ض ِربُالولد‬The boy was hit. ِ ‫ – منِع‬The woman was stopped. ُ‫تُالمرأة‬

LESSON 8

ِ ‫ا‬ ُ‫لصفةُوُالموصوف‬ Adjective Consider the following phrases: ‘truthful Muslim,’ ‘pious man,’ ‘large mosque,’ ‘small book,’ ‘trustworthy servant.’ These phrases and other phrases of similar

ِ (adjective) andُ ‫ف‬ pattern are called ٌ‫صف ُة‬ ٌ ‫( موصو‬the described). In the phrase ‘small

ِ (adjective), and ‘book’ book, ‘small’ describes the ‘book.’ Thus, ‘small’ is ٌ‫صف ُة‬ isُ‫ف‬ ٌ ‫( موصو‬the described).

To convert such a phrase into Arabic, follow the following steps: 1. Translate the individual words into Arabic. 2. Reverse the order of the words so that the first word comes second and the second word comes first. 3. Give both words one or two dammah(s) (depending on the situation). Example: We want to convert the phrase, ‘truthful Muslim’ into Arabic. First, we translate the individual words into Arabic. We get ‫ادق مُسُُلِم‬ ُِ ‫ص‬ ُ . Next, we reverse the order to get ‫ادق‬ ُِ ُ‫مُسُُلِمُص‬. Then, we give two dammahs to both the words. We get ُ‫مسلِ ٌم‬

ُ‫ص ِاد ٌق‬. Similarly, if we want to convert ‘pious man’ into Arabic, we will first translate the individual words into Arabic – ‫حُرجُل‬ ُ ِ‫صُ ُال‬. Next, we will reverse the order of the words – ‫ُرجُلُصُ ُالِح‬. Lastly, we will give two dammahs to both words – ‫ح‬ ٌُ ِ‫رج ٌلُصال‬. States of Nouns: Before we move on, it will be useful to keep in mind that each noun is always in a certain state. There are three states in total for nouns. These are as follows: 1. ‫رف ٌُع‬: This is the state when a noun has one or two dammahs at the end. Such a noun is called ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫مرف و‬. For example, ‫ت‬ ٌُ ‫ ب ي‬or ُ‫الب يت‬.

2. ‫ب‬ ٌُ ‫نص‬: This is the state when a noun has one or two fathahs at the end. Such a noun is called ‫ب‬ ٌُ ‫منصو‬. For example, ‫ ب ي تًا‬or ُ‫الب يت‬.

3. ُ‫جر‬: This is the state when a noun has one or two kasrahs at the end. ُSuch a noun is called ‫َمروٌُر‬. For example, ‫ت‬ ٍُ ‫ ب ي‬or ‫ت‬ ُِ ‫الب ي‬.

Note: There is another state which is specific to verbs. This is ‫جزٌُم‬. This is the

49

ُ

Lesson 8

condition in which a ‫ سكو ٌُن‬appears at the end of a word or its substitute (‫ ن‬in the

ُ‫ )فِع ٌل ُمضا ِر‬is dropped from the end. ٌ‫ع‬ example, ُ‫( لُيض ِرب‬he did not hit). case of

Such a word is said to be ‫وم‬ ٌُ ‫َمُُز‬. For

ِ and ٌُ‫موصوف‬: Additional Rules for ٌ‫صف ُة‬ ِ and the ‫ف‬ 1. Both the ٌ‫صف ُة‬ ٌُ ‫ موصو‬have to be in the same state, i.e., if one is ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫مرف و‬,

then the other should also be ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫مرف و‬. Similarly, if one is ‫ب‬ ٌُ ‫منصو‬, the other should also be ‫ب‬ ٌُ ‫منصو‬. For example, consider ‫رج ٌل ُصالِ ٌُح‬. Since ‫ رج ٌُل‬has two

dammahs at the end, it is ٌُ‫ ;مرف وع‬therefore, ‫ح‬ ٌُ ِ‫ صال‬will also be given two dammahs to make it ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫مرف و‬. Similarly, if for some reason ‫ ُرجُل‬was ‫ب‬ ٌُ ‫منصو‬, ‫صُ ُالِح‬

ِ ‫رج ًال ُص‬ would also have to be ‫ب‬ ٌُ ‫منصو‬. The phrase would then have been ‫اْلًا‬ ِ ‫( نصرتُرج ًالُص‬I helped a pious man). If ‫ ُرجُل‬had been ‫َمروُر‬, ‫صُ ُالِح‬ such as in ‫اْلًا‬ ٌ

would also have been ‫َمروٌُر‬. The phrase would then have been ٍُ‫ رج ٍلُصالِح‬such as in ٍُ‫( ذهبتُُإِلُُرج ٍلُصالِح‬I went to a pious man).

ِ and the ‫ف‬ 2. Both the ٌ‫صف ُة‬ ٌُ ‫ موصو‬should either be maʻrifah or nakirah. Thus, if the ‫ف‬ ٌُ ‫ موصو‬has an alif-laam, the ٌ‫ ِصف ُة‬should also have an alif-laam. For

example, if ‫ ُرجُل‬were to be changed to ‫اُ َُّلرجُل‬, ‫ صُ ُالِح‬would also change to

‫لص ُالِح‬ َُّ ُ‫ا‬.

ِ and the ‫ف‬ 3. The gender of the ٌ‫صف ُة‬ ٌُ ‫ موصو‬should be the same. Thus, if the ُ‫ف‬ ٌ ‫ موصو‬is feminine, the ٌ‫ ِصف ُة‬should also be feminine. To change a word to its feminine form, just add a round taa (‫ )ة‬at the end of the word. For ِ ‫ أستاذُةٌ ُص‬and ‘the pious teacher (F)’ example, ‘a pious teacher (F)’ will be ٌ‫اْل ُة‬ ِ ‫الص‬ will be ُ‫اْلة‬ َّ ُُ‫اُْلستاذة‬.

4. If the ‫ف‬ ٌُ ‫ موصو‬is a proper noun, it will not accept alif-laam. For non-proper

nouns alif-laam is used to change nakirah into maʻrifah. However, all proper nouns are considered maʻrifah by default even without an alif-laam.

Since, the ‫ف‬ ٌُ ‫ موصو‬is a proper noun; therefore, the ٌ‫ ِصف ُة‬will require an aliflaam to make it maʻrifah. For example, when converting ‘the conqueror Khalid’ into Arabic, we will not add alif-laam toُ ‫ خالِ ٌُد‬because it is already a

50

ِ ‫ا‬ ُ‫لصفةُوالموصوف‬

ِ (‫ )فاتِ ُح‬because it proper noun. However, we will add an alif-laam to the ٌ‫صف ُة‬ ٌ is not a proper noun. The sentence will be ُ‫خالِ ٌدُالفاتِح‬. The following examples illustrate this point:

‘The king Mahmood’ will be ُ‫ُمموٌدُاُلملِك‬.

‘The commander Taariq’ will be ُ‫طا ِر ٌقُاُلقائِد‬.

ِ ‫غالِبُاُلش‬. ‘The poet Ghalib’ will be ُ‫َّاعر‬ ٌ

ِ ‫خالِد‬, ُ‫ُمُمود َُِنلملِك‬, These sentences can also be read (not written) as ُ‫َُنلفاتِح‬

ُ‫ أُمٌُر‬of any verb is created from its respective ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫ُفِعُ ٌُل ُمُضُاُِر‬. In this lesson, we will study the method of making ‫ أُمٌُُر‬for the second person. This is as follows. 1. First, give a jazm to that seeghah of ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫ُفِعُ ٌُل ُمُضُاُِر‬, whose ‫ أُمٌُُر‬you wish to create. This

means that that seeghah which ends with a dammah, should have its dammah replaced with a sukoon, while the noon should be dropped from that seeghah which

ِ for ‫اض ُر‬ ِ ٌ ‫ ْجع ُمؤن‬is an exception to this.2 Also, in the ends with a noon. The ٌ‫صي غ ُة‬ ٌ ٌ ‫َّث ُح‬ ِ case of ‫كٌُرُحاضٌُر‬ َُّ ‫ْج ٌعُمُُذ‬, an alif should be added at the end, after dropping the noon.

2. Now, remove the ‫ع‬ ُِ‫حرف ُالمضا ِر‬, which in this case is ‫ت‬. The seeghah should be unreadable. 3. Now, add a ‫ل‬ ُِ ‫ ُهزةُالوص‬at the beginning and give it a kasrah.3 This process is illustrated in the following table.

2

ِ is one of those words whose ends do not accept any vowel change. Such In fact, this ٌ‫صي غ ُة‬

words are called ‫ن‬ ُ ِ ‫مب‬. 3 Hamzat al-wasl appears at the beginning of a word. It is not pronounced when there is a word before the word with a hamzat al-wasl. Giving it a kasrah is the basic principle. There is more detail to it, and is mentioned later in the lesson.

Before we move on, it would be useful to see how Table 9.2 would be written in Arabic. This is as follows: Table 9.2a

Examples:

1. From ُ‫( تُفتح‬you are opening/will open), we get ُ‫( اِف تح‬open!). 2. From ُ‫( ِتُلِس‬you are sitting/will sit), we get ُ‫( اِجلِس‬sit!).

3. From ُ‫( تُسمع‬you are hearing/will hear), we get ُ‫( اَِسع‬hear!). 4. From ُ‫( تُضُ ِرب‬you are hitting/will hit), we get ُ‫( ُاِضُ ِرب‬hit!). 5. From ُ‫( تُذُهب‬you are going/will go), we get ُ‫( ُاِذُهُب‬go!). Creating ‫ي‬ ٌُ ‫ ن ه‬for the Second Person

Like ‫أُمٌُُر‬, the ‫ي‬ ٌُ ُ‫ نُه‬of any verb is also created from its respective ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫ُفِعُ ٌُل ُمُضُاُِر‬. In this

lesson, we will study the method of making ‫ي‬ ُ ُ‫ نُه‬for the second person. It is partially

ٌ

similar to the method given above for ‫أُمٌُُر‬, but there are also differences. The process is as follows. 1. Like in the case of ‫أُمٌُُر‬, give a jazm to the ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫ُفِعُ ٌُل ُمُضُاُِر‬. This means that that seeghah which ends with a dammah, should have its dammah replaced with a sukoon, while the noon should be dropped from that seeghah which ends with a noon. As before,

ِ for ‫اض ُر‬ ِ ٌ ‫ ْجعُمؤن‬will be an exception to this. Also, in the case of ُ‫ْجعُمُُذ َُّك ُر‬ the ٌ‫صي غُ ُة‬ ٌ ٌ ‫َّثُح‬ ٌ ٌ ِ ‫حاضٌُر‬, an alif should be added at the end, after dropping the noon.

59

Lesson 9

2. Now, instead of removing the ‫ِع‬ ُِ‫حرف ُالمضار‬, just place a ُ‫ َل‬before it. This ُ‫ َل‬is a

ُ‫حرفُالنَّه ِي‬, and is called ُ‫اهيُة‬ ُِ َّ‫َلُُالُن‬.

This process is illustrated in the following table. Table 9.3

Examples: 1. From ُ‫( تُفتح‬you are opening/will open), we get ُ‫( َلُُتُفتح‬do not open!). 2. From ُ‫( ِتُلِس‬you are sitting/will sit), we get ُ‫( َلُُِتُلِس‬do not sit!).

3. From ُ‫( تُسمع‬you are hearing/will hear), we get ُ‫( َلُُتُسمع‬do not hear!). 4. From ُ‫( تُضُ ِرب‬you are hitting/will hit), we get ُ‫( َلُُتُضُ ِرب‬do not hit!). 5. From ُ‫( تُذُهب‬you are going/will go), we get ُ‫( َلُُتُذُهُب‬do not go!). The vowels (harakah) of ‫ أُم ٌُر‬and ‫ي‬ ٌُ ‫ن ه‬

Many times we find ‫ أُمٌُُر‬to be on the pattern of ُ‫ اِف عل‬as in ُ‫اَِسع‬. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes, it follows the ُ‫ اف عل‬pattern as in ُ‫انصر‬, and sometimes the

‫ اِف ُعِ ُل‬pattern as in ُ‫اِض ِرب‬. The reason behind this difference is that the particular vowel ِ ‫ و‬seeghah of pattern of ‫ أُمٌُُر‬and ‫ي‬ ٌُ ُ‫ نُه‬is dependent on the (‫ )ع‬letter of the ‫ب‬ ٌُ ِ‫اح ٌد ُمذ َّكٌر ُغائ‬ ِ ‫ع ُو‬ ٌُ ‫ُفِعُ ٌُلُمُضُاُِر‬. ُThe (‫ )ع‬letter of this ‫ب‬ ‫ع‬ ٌُ ِ‫اح ٌدُمذ َّكٌرُغائ‬ ٌُ ‫ ُفِعُ ٌُلُمُضُاُِر‬governs the ‫ أُمٌُُر‬in two ways, and ‫ي‬ ٌُ ُ‫ نُه‬in one way. The one way where it governs both ‫ أُمٌُُر‬and ‫ي‬ ٌُ ُ‫ نُه‬is the harakah of the (‫ )ع‬letter of ‫ أُمٌُُر‬and ‫ي‬ ٌُ ُ‫نُه‬. Here, the harakah has to correspond exactly. Thus, when the (‫)ع‬ ِ ‫ع ُو‬ letter of ‫ب‬ ٌُ ِ‫اح ٌد ُمذ َّكٌر ُغُائ‬ ٌُ ‫ ُفِعُ ٌُل ُمُضُاُِر‬has a fathah, or kasrah, or dammah, the (‫ )ع‬letter

61

Lesson 9

of ‫ أُمٌُُر‬and ‫ي‬ ُ ُ‫ نُه‬will have the same vowel. For example, in ُ‫ يُسُمُع‬the (‫ )ع‬letter is (‫ )م‬and

ٌ

has a fathah. Therefore, in its ‫ أُمٌُُر‬and ‫ي‬ ٌُ ُ‫ نُه‬forms, the (‫ )م‬will also get a fathah. Its ‫أُمٌُُر‬ ِ will be ُ‫ اَسع‬and its ‫ي‬ ُ ُ‫ نُه‬will be ُ‫َلُتسمع‬. In ُ‫ يض ِرب‬there is a kasrah under (‫ ;)ر‬therefore,

ٌ

its ‫ أُمٌُُر‬and ‫ي‬ ُ ُ‫ نُه‬forms will be ُ‫ اِض ِرب‬and ُ‫ َل ُتض ِرب‬respectively. In ُ‫ي نصر‬, there is a

ٌ

dammah on (‫ ;)ص‬therefore, its ‫ أُمٌُُر‬and ‫ي‬ ُ ُ‫ نُه‬forms will be ُ‫ انصر‬and ُ‫ َلُت نصر‬respectively.

ٌ

The other way in which (‫ )ع‬letter of ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫ ُفِعُ ٌُل ُمُضُاُِر‬governs ‫ أُمٌُُر‬is with respect to the hamzat al-wasl of ‫أُمٌُُر‬. This hamzat al-wasl either gets a kasrah or a dammah. It cannot have a fathah. If the (‫ )ع‬letter of ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫ ُفِعُ ٌُلُمُضُاُِر‬has a dammah, the hamzat al-wasl of ‫ أُمٌُُر‬will also have a dammah. For example, the ‫ أُمٌُُر‬of ُ‫ ي نصر‬will be ُ‫ انصر‬because (‫)ص‬

is the (‫ )ع‬letter of ‫ِع‬ ٌُ ‫ فِع ٌل ُمضار‬and it has a dammah. And if the (‫ )ع‬letter of ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫ُفِعُ ٌُل ُمُضُاُِر‬ has a fathah or a kasrah, then in both cases the hamzat al-wasl of ‫ أُمٌُُر‬will get a kasrah. For example, the ‫ أُمٌُُر‬of ُ‫ يسمع‬is ُ‫اَِسع‬, and the ‫ أُمٌُُر‬of ُ‫ يض ِرب‬is ُ‫اِض ِرب‬.

It should be noted that there is no hamzat al-wasl in ‫ي‬ ُ ُ‫نُه‬. It is only

ٌ ِ dependent on the (‫ )ع‬letter of ‫ع‬ ٌُ ‫ ُفعُ ٌُلُمُضُاُِر‬for the harakah on its own (‫ )ع‬letter. Word List For Verbs Arabic

LESSON 10

ُ‫ُالُمُع‬،ُ‫ُالتُثُُنِيُة‬،ُ‫احد‬ ُِ ‫الُ ُو‬ Singular, Dual, Plural We have seen in the previous lessons that verb forms are sometimes single, sometimes dual, and sometimes plural.4 Similarly, nouns can also be single, dual and plural. For example, ‫ن‬ ٌُ ‫ مُ ُؤُِم‬means ‘one believer,’ ‫ان‬ ُِ ‫ مُ ُؤُِمن‬means ‘two believers,’ and

ُ‫ مُ ُؤُِمن ون‬means ‘three or more believers.’ Below, we give the rules for duals and plurals of nouns.

It should be remembered that when the verb forms are dual or plural, it is not the action that is dual or plural. The action taking place is only one. It is only the doers of the action who are two or more. 5 There is more detail to it, which can be studied in more advanced books.
