MOTIVATIONAL &
LEARNING TIPS
IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
Prerequisite: You should be able to read Arabic

text.
1. At least FIVE minutes recitation (for the

beginner) of the Qur'an from the Mushaf.
Duration: 9 hours (Preferably in 2 to 3 sessioss)
2. At least FIVE minutes recitation of the Qur'an

from memory during activities such as walking.
Some Guidelines for using the Short Course

Effectively:
We will learn with love, smiles, and relaxation.
This is a thoroughly interactive short course

therefore listen attentively, and participate
continuously.
We are practicing so there is no problem even

if you do mistakes. Nobody learns without first
committing mistakes.
The one who practices more will get more even

if he/she commits mistake.
Remember the golden rule:

I listen, I forget. I see, I remember. I
practice, I learn.
Remember the 3 levels of learning:

o
Listening (without paying attention).

Your ear hears noises.
Listening carelessly or with doubt.
Listening interactively; listening with

HEART; responding immediately to the
p oints.
Two for Study:

3. At least FIVE minutes study of the Word-forWord translation (or from this book, for the
beginners).
4. 30 seconds study of the vocabulary booklet or
sheet, preferably before or after every Salah or
any other suitable intervals. ALWAYS carry the
vocabulary booklet with you till you complete
the course.
Two for Listening and talking to others:
5. Listening to a tape which contains these
recitations with word-by-word meanings (in
your car while driving and at your home while
doing household chores). You can record the
contents of this course yourselves into a tape,
in case a recorded tape is not available.
6. Talking to your colleague for 1 minute every
day regarding the lesson (if you are studying it
in a class).
The last one for using it:
7. Recitation of the last 14 Surahs in rotation in
the Sunan and Nawafil of daily Salah.
Space after MOTIVATIONAL AND LEARNING

TIPS is left blank for you to take notes and add
other things to it based on your experience. If
the space is not enough, you may use back side
of the paper.
And two more homeworks on Du'aa (i) for

self

; and (ii) for others that Allah
helps us all to fulfill our duties towards
Qur'an.
And lastly: The best way to learn is to
teach. And the best way to teach
someone is to turn him into a teacher.
Each lesson is followed by Grammar. Grammar

contents is not directly related with the main
lesson simply because it will be too complicated
to analyze grammatical aspects of the lesson in
the first class.
It may require separate
Grammar teaching before we start studying
Surahs. Therefore, Grammar lessons build up
your Arabic Grammar in parallel to vocabulary
that you learn in the main lesson.

: A simple method
ASK: Each verse of the Quran 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).
While Making plans
When it comes to group or Fiqh issues or any new idea, then please check with scholars
before you mention it to 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.

When you say
(He), point the index finger of the right hand

towards your right as if that person is sitting on your right. When
you say

(They), point all the four fingers of your right hand
towards your right. In a class, both the teacher and the
student should practice this together.
When you say ( You), point the index finger of your right hand
towards your front. When you say
( All of you), point all the four
fingers of your right hand towards your students. In a class, the
teacher should point his fingers towards the students and the
students should point their fingers towards the teacher.
When you say ( I), point the index finger of your right hand
towards yourself. When you say

( we) point all the four fingers
of your right hand towards yourself.

GRAMMAR:
Pronouns (with examples)
For the first 3 times, practice these 6 forms with translation, i.e.,
just show and say
he,

they, you,
you all,
I,

we. Since you will be showing what you mean by
your hand, you dont need to translate each of them after 3
cycles. Just say

. That is
the immediate benefit of using TPI, among many others.
Continue the above steps without translating these words.
Just Five minutes of your practice using TPI will make
the learning of these six words and many other things
extremely easy!!! Also note that while practicing, dont
worry about learning the terminologies. Just focus on
these six words and their meanings.
He is a Muslim.

Message for Lesson No. 4

Imagine your joy when you are able to know what Allah said to you in every
Salah (when you listen from Imam or when you recited yourself) or when you
read the Quran! Imagine Allah giving you solutions to your worries and
thoughts through these recitations! Will that not be the best part of the day!
To reach that level, make sure you continue with learning Quranic Arabic.

Al-Quran is the most important book in our life. Ramadan is the most important
month in the year in which the Quran was revealed. So, let us not be soooo busy as
not to spare even 15 min.

Here is a comment from one of the attendees of the short course:
I had the luxury to attend the short course more than once. Each time, I found it
more interesting and saw my retention on the rise.
This Ramadan, I am offering Taraweeh at a Masjid where they recite almost one
juz/para everyday. Contrary to the past, this year, I find my prayers less tiring and
more absorbing due to one single reason: I am able to understand most of what is
recited.
It is direct outcome of those short courses which I attended more than once.
My humble advice: Go over this course more than once AND if you want Real P,
add two Ps; i.e., if you want real Progress, start with Passion (internal factor) and
choose a Partner (external factor) to go over the program jointly at regular
intervals/timings in planned way.

GRAMMAR (4 tips about Prepositions):

1. Same thing is expressed in different languages using different prepositions. For example:
I believed in Allah;
( in urdu)
The above 3 sentences in 3 different languages express the same fact, i.e., I believed, but the preposition in
each language is different.
For the same language, a preposition may be or may not be required depending upon the verb being used.
Example: I said to him; I told him.
2. Sometimes, a preposition may be there in Arabic but not required in English (or any other) language. For
example,
entering the religion of Allah

Forgive me
3. Sometimes, a preposition may not be there in Arabic but required in English.
I ask forgiveness of Allah

and have mercy on me
4. Change of preposition leads to change in the meanings.
Examples:
In English: get; get in; get out; get off; get on
In Arabic:

Dear Brothers/Sisters!
We ask Allah for guidance (ihdinassiraat) in every Salah. Guidance is there in the
Quran. Naturally, we should then look into Quran for it. Otherwise, how can it be
that we ask for something 30 to 40 times everyday (almost 50 times everyday in
Ramadan) and yet we dont find any time to study the Quran. Are we serious in our
asking?

When you say ( He has done), point the index finger of

the right hand towards your right as if that person is sitting
on your right. When you say ( They did), point all the
four fingers of your right hand towards your right. In a
class, both the teacher and the student should practice this
together.
When you say ( You did), point the index finger of
your right hand towards your front. When you say

(All of you did), point all the four fingers of your right hand
towards your students. In a class, the teacher should point
his fingers towards the students and the students should

Depending upon the person (3rd, 2nd, or 1st), gender (masculine or feminine), and number (singular or plural), ending
words of the corresponding forms of the past tense change. By this change we know whether this verb (past tense) is
singular or plural, 3rd, 2nd or 1st person, and feminine or masculine. To remember this feature, here is an example. If
you are standing on a road, you can see the backside of a departed car, truck or jeep. A look at the backside is enough
for you to tell which type of car has gone. So, remember the endings for past tense forms: (

Imperfect tense
The same procedure of fingers pointing can be used for

practicing the different conjugations of Imperfect tense
verbs also. To distinguish between the past tense and
the present tense, you may pronounce all the past tense
forms and move your right hand at a lower level while
pointing towards right, in front, or yourself. For present
tense, raise your right hand at a higher level and
pronounce the present tense verbs with a higher pitch.

Dear Brothers/Sisters! To get maximum benefit from the lessons, please download the .wmv
(video) file or mp3 file and watch it along with the .pps files. Change the slide whenever you hear
AllahuAkbar in the background. EXTREMELY IMPORTANT POINT: If you dont follow those SEVEN
simple, practical and doable homework then: (i) Dont blame that Quran is difficult to understand;
(ii) Dont blame your own brain that it is not smart; and (iii) Dont say that the teacher is not good!
And if you follow these simple homeworks, learning Quran will become absolutely easy. You will
wish that you knew it long before!!!
Dear Brothers/Sisters! Most important point is: Never forget to beg Allah continuously and
sincerely: Rabbi Zidnee Ilmaa (O My Rabb, Increase me in knowledge). The prayer shows our
love, concern, and feelings towards Quran. This begging along with our efforts inshaAllah will
definitely bear fruits. If we dont even ask Allah, it simply means that we dont even care about
understanding Quran!
Dear Brothers/Sisters! Creating the environment of learning is extremely important. The 7+2
homeworks are designed to create that environment. Among these, carrying vocabulary card in
your pocket and referring to it 5 times a day makes your learning faster by 300% (in my opinion).
In addition to these, please print the posters (the short course poster as well as verb poster) and
paste them in your home and/or office to remind you. Develop a habit of studying them daily at
some suitable family get-together times.
Dear Brothers/Sisters! To succeed in any area, you have to first develop a habit (doing something
regularly). If you want to be physically fit, you have to have a habit of exercise. If you want to
excel in exams, you have to have a habit of studying regularly. Similarly, if you want to learn
Quran and develop the relationship with Allah, you have to develop a habit of devoting sometime
for it daily. Habit is combination of What to do & Why to do, How to do, and Desire to do.
That is, Knowledge+ Skill + Attitude. You already have knowledge (why to study the Quran), and
skill (how to learn Quran). All that is remaining now is: Attitude, i.e., Do I want to give time and
effort for learning Quran. Do I have desire to learn. If you stop studying Quran, focus on your
attitude instead of looking for other options. If you develop the attitude, you will never miss it,
inshaAllah. Plus 2 Homeworks (the supplications) help a lot to develop exactly the same. The
remaining tips will focus on developing the attitude, inshaAllah.
Dear Brothers/Sisters! Every time you pray for the Prophet, pbuh, remember his sacrifices for us and then
remember to respond to his roles.

His role was to recite the Quran. The verses are recited today also. Do I bother to
understand them? Or I just dont care!

He was sent as a teacher of the Quran. Who should then be his students? Of course, we.
But each one of us has a standard, I am busy! When someone says busy, he is not
dead in that interval. He is doing something which he thinks is more important. So, when
I say I am busy when it comes toQuran, it simply means that of all the 24 hours, I dont
have any slot, even of 15 minutes, whether in morning, afternoon, evening, or night, that
can be reserved for Quran!!! In other words, Becoming his student is not worth my time
Astaghfirullah. Or, Everything else I do is more valuable and important than studying
Quran! Astaghfirullah. Is this how we VALUE our Prophet pbuh?
Therefore, everytime we recite the prayer on the Prophet, pbuh, make sure PLAN FOR TODAY
and EVERYDAY. All this can planning can be done in seconds in your brain! And dont ever say, I
am busy when it comes to Quran.

Dear Brothers/Sisters! While praying for the Prophet, pbuh, let us remember his sacrifices for us
and then remember his advice to us, Convey from me, even if it is one verse. How can we
convey the message when we ourselves do not understand it? It is not a matter of reading
translations only. It is a continuous training by the Quran when we keep pondering over its
meanings every time we listen to it. We have to convey the Quran with wisdom and beautiful
preaching. Quran gives us numerous examples of this through the life of different prophets. The
more we spend time with the Quran, the better we are trained and equipped to perform this noble
duty.
Dear Brothers/Sisters! If you really want to learn the Quran then make a plan. IF YOU FAIL TO
PLAN, YOU PLAN TO FAIL. I have seen people who started the course with enthusiasm but did
not continue for more than a couple of lessons. If you could not continue beyond a couple of
lessons, it is time that you form a team and restart it again. Remember that if you are alone,
Shaitaan can attack you easily.
The Prophet pbuh said: No people assemble in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of
Allah and studying it among themselves, without tranquility descending upon them, Mercy (of
Allah) covering them, the angels surrounding them, and Allah making mention of them in the
presence of those near Him.'' [Muslim] So, instead of studying alone, why dont you plan to get 4
additional rewards which are easily achievable if you team up with your friends and learn together!
This will ensure continuity, consistency, and support from each other, in addition to benefiting
from each others learning.
Dear Brothers/Sisters! Quran is a book of guidance (not just a book of rules!). In modern terms,
it is also a book, in fact the ultimate book of Personality Development and success. It creates in a
person all those qualities that are essential for success. If you read the literature of modern-day
gurus of success literature, you will find that they talk about certain qualities essential for success.
These qualities are: Attitude, Confidence, Optimism, Positive Thinking, High Moral Values,
perseverance, Disciplined life, Good relationship with others, etc. No book or lecturer can instill
these values in a person as perfectly and effectively as the Quran. In addition to Tawheed and
Ibadah, these were the values which changed Sahabah and made them world leaders within no
time! Our vision is that Muslims should not take Al-Quran in the limited sense of Barakah but to
take as a book of Success, and study it with utmost attention and dedication. It will instill all the
values that are necessary to make a person great in this world and successful in the hereafter.
That is the comprehensive Barakah that Al-Quran came with.
Dear Brothers/Sisters! While talking about His beloved slaves, Allah says that they do not take the
Quranic verses like a deaf and blind person [Reference 20:73].
Make sure to understand the verses and take them to heart while you listen or read. So many of
us read these verses like a blind person, i.e., they read with their eyes but dont understand
them. They listen to them like a deaf person! Years pass by and they remain the same! That is
even worse! If we fail to plan to spend time for understanding Quran, we plan to remain, in a
sense, deaf and blind for the rest of our lives! How can we respond to the verses if we dont
understand them. Wont we like to be one of those beloved slaves to Allah?
Please plan to spend 200 hours as soon as possible in which you can learn to understand the
complete Quran.

Dear Brothers/Sisters! Many of us work for years to save the money to build a house in this world!
In general, when the house gets ready, people cross their middle age. And we know that we will
not live in such a house forever! Not even perhaps next 25 years. The more we live here, the
more problematic the old age becomes, in general! Some of us die before even start living in it.
WE ARE BUSY in generating money for this house and to enjoy the life in it (with families and
friends) in it and therefore do not have time for Al-Quran. The Prophet pbuh said: "The one who
was devoted to the Qur'an will be told on the Day of Resurrection: `Recite and ascend (in ranks)
as you used to recite when you were in the world. Your rank will be at the last Ayah you recite.'''
Based on this, some scholars say that there are as many grades of Paradise as the number of
verses (more than 6000!). Who does not want to get eternally promoted, and live in the best
state of health and facilities? Should we not GET BUSY for eternal promotion and the real
enjoyment? All it takes is the change in our attitude towards Al-Quran.

People before us were given a Book! About them, Allah says that their example is that of a
donkey which carries books (62:5). Why? Because they did not fulfill its rights (Believe, Recite,
Understand, Implement, Propagate).
Note that Allah is not joking here (astaghfirullah). He is extremely angry with those who did not
value the Book.
If we do not fulfill the rights of Quran, we will not be better than donkeys in His sight. It is as
simple as that.
Dont start counting the donkeys among people. Beware! Allah is angry here (astaghfirullah). THE
REAL OBJECTIVE OF GIVING THIS EXAMPLE IS TO ASK: Am I a donkey in the sight of Allah
(astaghfirullah).
And if I still say that I dont have time to recite, study, understand, implement, propagate then
am I not insisting to remain a donkey (even after knowing) ???
A standard reply that people have for not studying Quran is: I am busy. For them, here is an
example. Suppose our company announces, If you do 15 minutes overtime everyday, you will
get 25 % Salary increase. All of us will GRAB the opportunity. No one will say, I AM BUSY.
If we earn 2000 units (Dollar, Euros, Dirhams, ) per month. 25% of it will be 500, and per day it
will come to 20.
If I am ready for this job but not for Al-Quran, then in practical life, in a sense, the value of
Quran near me is not even 20!!!
There are some people who do study Quran but at a snails pace. For them, here is another
example. Suppose our company announces, If you do 200 extra hours of work in your service,
you will get 200,000 (whatever units of money). Do it 1 hr/day or 1 hr/week. Get 200,000 when
you complete 200 hours. Each one of us will try to complete 200 hours asap! No one will
complain of any time!
We will say: Let us do it asap, get the money, buy a house or car, and enjoy the rest of life.
Understanding Quran requires almost 200 hours of dedication. Once we do that, we can live the
rest of life in full Quranic light. Should we not complete it asap so that we can live the rest of our
lives in full Quranic light, under Allahs LIVE guidance?

In Disney World, Florida, there is a simulation ride, called Time-machine. You sit in a car in a big
dark hall and watch the screens (3D simulation). You feel as if you are traveling through skies and
coming back to earth to pass through jungles and dinosaurs
When you open the Quran, you can go for a true time and space ride. More than that! An
intellectual, emotional, and spiritual ride! There is nothing false (simulation) here! Quran is
kitabul-mastoor, a written book and the universe, with all its details including humans is kitabulmanzoor (an open book). You can travel to the future, look the endings of arrogant people and
those of pious people. You can go back in history and see absolutely true accounts of the best
and the worst people.
Have you seen a mother advising her child through stories and examples? Warning her child of
consequences of bad action? Allah is much more kind to us than a mother is to her child. While
taking us on this ride, He gives us a number of lessons and advice. More than that, we will find it
matching perfectly with our innate nature!
To go on this ride, just open the Quran with faith and devotion. Start reading it or listening to it.
Instead of selecting miscellaneous verses of Quran from here and there, we have
selected daily recitations in this course because:
These selections are a part of everyday practice
Revision is ensured automatically
Whenever any of these words appear in a new context, it will be much easier to
recall an example from such selections
Therefore, in this lesson, please try to remember an example for each one of these
almost 100 words.
While talking about any of the Surah or zikr, we tried to provide some Points or
commentary (taken from reliable sources). These points help us a lot:
1. They helps us to bring them into our lives (especially through Ask-EvaluatePlan-Propagate formula).
2. Add emotional and spiritual side to our learning (right side of the brain) and
therefore provides additional anchor to remember meanings.
3. Meanings (of keywords) helps us remember the message and the message
helps us remember the meanings of the rest of the words
Next time you read any part from Quran, try to identify the keywords, i.e.,
depending upon your choice, select some words which are key to message. They will
help you a lot in remembering the message as well as the meanings of the rest of the
words.
33
The most precious things that a man owns are his heart and his time. Time is life which can be
invested in good or bad and heart is the internal compass which directs a person to use it properly
through time, through days and nights.
The center of our spiritual and physical existence is our heart. All important activities are functions
of heart such as Iman (faith), Ikhlaas (sincerity), love of Allah, tawakkul (trust), sabr (patience),
shukr (thanksgiving), etc.
People do not want to do good things not because they dont know but because their hearts are
corroded. Some people say, we should work on faith. Understanding Quran is not that important.
But how can any other cure be better than what Allah has prescribed, as we shall see below.
The Prophet pbuh had said: Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body. If that is good, the
whole body is good and if that is corrupted, the whole body gets corrupted.
On the Day of Judgment, wealth and children will not benefit. Only the one who comes with a
sound heart (free from evils) [26:89] or a heart turned in devotion to Allah [50:33].
Allah says about the Quran, O mankind! There has come to you an exhortation from your Lord
and a healing for the (diseases) in your hearts, So, Can anyone give a better cure than what
Allah has prescribed?
There are other cures too such as remembering death, doing zikr and Istighfar, establishing
regular prayers, avoiding sins, helping orphans and others, and committing ourselves to Islamic
activities.
Muslims in general have a big confusion about guidance contained in the Quran. They equate it
with rules and regulations, such as those of prayers, Zakat, Hajj, inheritance, or in general, the
Islamic system of life. But rules do not constitute even 10% of the Quran. What then does the
remaining 90% talk about? It is addressed to the mind and more importantly the heart. It is the
heart that needs to be guided. And if any one believes in Allah, (Allah) guides his heart (aright)
[64:11]. Quran is the cure of hearts [10:57].
As we noted in the last reminder, all of us commit sins day and night (according to Hadith) and we
need to keep our heart continuously clean by performing regular prayers, reciting Quran, and
other good deeds. NO ONE can claim that he does not need this maintenance.
How does Quran (which is nothing but Allah talking to us) guide? By describing realities of this
life through different ways, most prominent among them are:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
.
Allah, his attributes and rights

Prophethood and the Last Prophet, pbuh

Stories and examples of earlier people and lessons from them
34
9. Rights of people
10. Why people reject the truth (Dawah, its challenges,) etc.
It addresses mind or ones intellect and more importantly his heart.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: No one can say the way Allah says it and No ones words can have as much
effect as Allahs words are.
Lastly, I would say, dont say you dont have time to sharpen the saw, i.e. to recite and
understand the Quran. All of us are running towards making this life happy and peaceful. And
that is exactly what Al-Quran is promising. Peace and happiness in this world and in the
hereafter. Al-Quran will sharpen our saw (of attitude) which will solve all the problems. It will be
a tragedy, a huge tragedy if we keep looking for happiness and peace somewhere else while Allah
out of His infinite Mercy had placed it right in front of us.
Dear Brothers / Sisters! Allah has chosen you to make you students of the Quran. It is the
biggest blessing when it comes to learning. Dont prove it otherwise. Dont reject His Mercy by
going away or discontinuing. Be the student of the Prophet (pbuh). Dont let Shaitaan make you
like the example of those who were given a book before us. Dont forget that this Quran will
make us go higher and higher both in this world and in the hereafter.
I keep wondering how intelligent Shaitaans strategy must have been. Almost 90% of us, the nonArab Muslims, dont understand the Quran. It is a catastrophic failure of our educational system.
How can we remain ignorant of a book that is the most important of all the books.
We, a billion Muslims, ask for guidance tens of times everyday (ihdinassiratal Mustaqeem), yet a
huge majority of us DONT EVEN FEEL THE NECESSITY to go to Quran for getting it.
We celebrate Ramadan after Ramadan, benefit (inshaAllah) from the huge rewards, which actually
is an annual gift of Allah in remembrance of the revelation of the Quran (Shahru Ramadaanalladhi
unzila feehil Quran). Yet there is no significant improvement in our relationship with the Quran.
We celebrate Lailatual-Qadr, try to get the huge reward of forgiveness, which again was granted in
remembrance of the Quran (Inna anzalnahu fee lailatulqadr). Yet we lag behind when it comes to
understanding the Quran.
Al-Quran is the ultimate and real solutions to the problems of Muslims Ummah. These problems
are mainly of two types. (i) Doubts (not enough belief that Quran can solve the problems, that
Quran guides us to everything, ); and (2) Desires (Even though we know something to be right,
we still dont do it. Muslims not united; Evils not going out; Morals not good; etc.). Al-Quran
solves both. It clears all our hidden doubts. It creates that impulse to overcome all types of
desires. If not, it simply means that Allahs voice is still not affecting our hearts and we need
more cleaning of hearts.
The challenge is huge. The responsibility is very big. We have to educate almost a billion nonArab Muslims in addition to conveying the message to the rest 7, 8 billion non-Muslims. Each one
of us need to join in this noble mission and spread the word.

Lesson 27 After this course ... An Exmaple

New words are only which are underlined. You have learnt the rest in this course!!!
Alhamdulillah, now you know more than 50% of words on almost every page of the
Qur'an.
255. Allah! There is no
god but He, The EverLiving, the Sustainer
and Protector (of all
that exists).
Slumber does not
overtake Him nor
sleep.
To Him belongs
whatever is in the
heavens and whatever
is on the earth.
Who is he that can
intercede with Him
except with His
permission?
He knows that which is
within their own hands
and that which is
behind them;
and they will never
encompass anything of
His knowledge except
that which He wills.
His chair encompasses
the heavens and the
earth,
and He feels no fatigue
in guarding and
preserving both of
them.
And He is the Most High,
the Supreme.

So, don't stop till you complete 200 hours...

MashaAllah you have completed the short course. You have embarked upon a beautiful, important, exciting,
and enriching journey. Dont stop here. If you have reached till here, inshaAllah you can continue till end.
The short course you have covered was a brief version of the course: Understand Quran The Easy Way!!!
Following are the features of this course which will take you further ahead:
1.
A course of approximately 25 hours to help you learn around 300 words which occur approx. 55,000 times
(out of a total of approx. 78000 Qur'anic words; representing 70% of Qur'anic vocabulary in this sense) in the
Quran.
2.
Spare just 25 minutes everyday, and insha-Allah you are on your way to realizing the dream.
3.
Start the understanding of Quran using what you recite everyday!!! No need to look for any other text.
4.
Immediately start realizing the benefits in your prayers and supplications, and thereby improve the relationship
with Allah. Practice what you learnt right form day one. Start practicing what you learn by talking to Allah in Arabic
with understanding!
5.
Each session is interactive, if conducted in a group!!! Every participant has full and continuous chance to be
involved in all the activities (Spoken Arabic, Grammar, and Word-for-word translation) throughout the session.
6.
Each session has 3 different activities, which keeps the participants alive throughout the session. Learn at least
one spoken Arabic sentence in each session. Learn basic Arabic Grammar as well as almost all important verb
patterns by devoting just 8 to 10 minutes in each session.
7.
Learning Arabic Grammar perhaps has never been so easy and simple. A new approach to the practice of
grammar, i.e., TPI, Total Physical Interaction. Think it, see it, say it, and show it. One of the most effective and
easiest techniques to overcome the most difficult part of learning the faala table (conjugation of a verb). This is
the lesson where generally people give up learning Arabic. With TPI, it becomes just the opposite, i.e., most
exciting and interesting part.
8.
Every time you practice a grammar session (5 to 7 minutes), you are shown how closer you are to the
understanding of Quran. Therefore, it becomes a session of love and excitement rather than that of boring drills.
9.
Learn interesting examples/false links to remember some of the odd rules of grammar.
10.
Revise the whole learning in SPECIAL 10 sessions (at the end) where all frequently occurring words in the
Quran are listed separately.
11.
To remember important words, each word/verb that you have learnt is listed with an example for you to
practice, remember, and retain. Every time you forget an important new word, you are given a context for it to
recall.
12.
Learn all important verb patterns thoroughly along with examples from the material covered in the first 50
sessions.
13.
16 quizzes and 2 exams (in the WORKBOOK) to help you evaluate your progress and encourage you to revise
and continue.
14.
With the CD (produced by the Academy), participate along with the audience throughout these sessions. You
dont have to wait for another sitting for practice. Practice right there! A CD containing mp3 files of the complete
course (60 sessions) is also available. Recently, a brief recorded version of the course (4 hours) is also produced.
Actually this is a basic training course for every Muslim. It contains those parts which are practiced everyday by a
Muslim. Therefore this course is will have direct impact on his life. It will make his regular worship more efficient and
effective. Simultaneously he will get the confidence that he can learn the Quran very easily. In view of this, this course
can be an excellent basic resource for every Muslim family, school, or organization.
Please wait for the announcement for the detailed course.
