Introduction
The following is a reference chart of the Arabic Pronouns. I wanted to compile something brief yet
concise for my family to benefit from during their Arabic studies. I based this off some of the well known
texts such as al-Aajurroomiyyah, Qatar-un-Nadaa, and Mulhat-ul-Iraab and then simplified it using visual
charts.
charts
After thorough study of this chart you will have the ability to know and understand how the Arabic
pronoun works within the language. I ask that all who find benefit from this chart to make Duaa for me
and
