How many letters are in the Arabic alphabet?


The Arabic alphabet contains 28 letters.

When was the Arabic alphabet created?


Although Arabic inscriptions are most common after the birth of Islam (7th century CE), the origin of the Arabic alphabet
lies deeper in time. The Nabataeans, which established a kingdom in what is modern-day Jordan from the 2nd century BCE,
were Arabs.

The Phoenician script evolved in several directions, with one branch developing into Greek and later the modern Latin
alphabet. The other evolved into Aramaic, which branched out again from there into Nabataean. Several writing systems
including the Arabic script and the various Arabic Scripts, all derive from Nabataean, which was in use from the 2nd
century BC in what is modern day Jordan.

What is Modern Standard Arabic?


In its written form, Modern Standard Arabic is the language of literature and the media. Books, newspapers, magazines,
official documents, private and business correspondence, street signs and shop signs – all are written in Modern Standard
Arabic.

Modern Standard Arabic is taught at schools, universities and colleges. There are no local varieties of Modern Standard
Arabic. The language is exactly the same across the Arab world.

Where and when is Modern Standard Arabic spoken?


Spoken Modern Standard Arabic is the language used on television, in government and parliament, and on official
occasions, like conferences and seminars. It is also used in religious assemblies, sermons of the Friday prayers, etc.

But isn't Modern Standard Arabic difficult to learn?


Learning Modern Standard Arabic requires more effort than learning a spoken Arabic dialect, but it is an effort with a much
bigger payoff.

Knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic opens the doors to the whole Arab World.

Modern Standard Arabic (and its roots in Classical Arabic) is the heart and soul of the Arabic language and the greatest

treasure of the Arab culture.

What is Spoken Arabic / the Arabic Dialects?


Spoken Arabic (also called "Colloquial Arabic", or simply "Arabic Dialects" ) differs from Modern Standard Arabic in the
following:
1.The grammatical structure is simpler.
2.Some letters are pronounced differently, and pronunciation also differs between dialects.
3.Some words and expressions are more or less unique to their respective dialects.
4.Spoken Arabic only occurs in written form when a humorist or popular touch is desired.
5. The vocabulary and style are more casual. Slang words and expressions are used that don't have equivalents in Modern
Standard Arabic.

How many Arabic dialects are there?


Spoken Arabic can be broadly categorized into the following, main dialect groups: •North African Arabic (Morocco,
Algeria, Tunisia and Libya),

•Hassaniya Arabic (Mauritania),

•Egyptian Arabic,

•Levantine Arabic (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Palestine),

•Iraqi Arabic,

•Gulf Arabic (Kuwait, Bahrain, Iraq, Iran, Medina, Mecca, Riyadh, Eastern province, Qatar, the U.A.E. and Oman).

•Hejazi Arabic (Western Saudi Arabia)

•Najdi Arabic (Central Saudi Arabia).

•Yemeni Arabic (Yemen & southwestern Saudi Arabia).

How big differences are there between the Arabic dialects?


There is one original Arabic used in the Qur’an and called Classical Arabic (CA). It is the archaic form that was spoken
from around VII to IX centuries.

Then there is Modern Standard Arabic (MSA). This language is the same as Classical Arabic except it is adapted in some
ways and geared more towards casual speech.

•Differences between dialects of the Middle East (Egypt, the Levant, Iraq and the Gulf) are small enough to enable Arabs of
different nationalities to understand one another fairly well.

•North African dialects are more unique in structure and vocabulary, and can be a real challenge to understand, even to
Arabs of the Middle East.

•Within the main dialect groups, there are regional sub-dialects. Like in other parts of the world, there are differences
between the city language and the provincial dialects.

•The most widely understood dialects are Egyptian and Levantine Arabic. The Egyptian media industry has traditionally
played a dominant in the Arab world. A huge number of cinema productions, television dramas and comedies have since
long familiarized Arab audiences with the Egyptian dialect.

•The satellite television channels have made it easier for other dialects to reach wider audiences. Popular showbiz programs
often have Lebanese hosts. This has given the Lebanese dialect something of a fashion status.

So, which type of Arabic would it be better for you to learn? •If your interest is not limited to one particular country, you
should choose Modern Standard Arabic. Once you have basic knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic, learning a dialect
becomes an easy task. With myEasyArabic.com, learning Arabic becomes easy and enjoyable, so give it a try and start
learning Arabic here.

•Learning to read, write and speak Modern Standard Arabic, and later learning the basics of a dialect, is the best route to
sound knowledge of Arabic.

•Educated Arabs, from the middle class and upwards, are quite comfortable conversing in Modern Standard Arabic. Since
this form of Arabic serves as a lingua franca across the Arabic-speaking world, speaking with a Mauritanian or an Omani
becomes equally easy.

•The choice of language generally depends on the educational level of the person you are addressing. For instance, ordering
a shawarma in the street is best done in the local dialect, and so is grabbing a cab.

•If you are going to spend just a short time in an Arab country, you should try to learn the basics of that country's main
dialect. This would help you manage the basic day-to-day routines, although it would not make you understand anything
written.

•It should be noted that many Arabs have attitudes towards certain dialects. For example, although held in high esteem in
Egypt, the Cairo dialect is often looked upon with amusement by non-Egyptian Arabs.

•Finally, if you know Moroccan or Algerian Arabic, you can't use it in the Middle East (east of Libya), since nobody would
understand what you are saying.

Arabic numbers III: 11-1000


If you’re looking for the numbers 1-10, and you should before you read this, go here.

When it comes to the higher numbers, everything after ۱۰ (10) follows some kind of pattern, so after we get
through the teens I’ll only be showing a few examples to illustrate the pattern.

11-19; as in English, where we say “thirteen” or “three-ten,” Arabic will say ‫( ثالثة عشر‬thalāthah ʿashr,
literally “three-ten”). Unlike English, Arabic doesn’t break the patter for “eleven” and “twelve,” and good for
Arabic in my opinion.

English Western Arabic Eastern Arabic Arabic name


Arabic name
name numeral numeral transliterated
eleven 11 ۱۱ ‫عشر‬َ ‫أَحد‬ aḥad ʿashr
twelve 12 ۱۲ ‫ا� ث ن ا ع ش ر‬ ithnā ʿashr
thirteen 13 ۱۳ ‫ث َالثة عشر‬ thalāthah ʿashr
fourteen 14 ۱٤ ‫أربَعة عشر‬ arbaʿah ʿashr
fifteen 15 ۱۵ ‫َخ�مسة عشر‬ khamsah ʿashr
sixteen 16 ۱٦ ‫�ست �ة عشر‬ sittah ʿashr
seventeen 17 ۱۷ ‫س ب عة ع ش ر‬ َ sabʿah ʿashr
eighteen 18 ۱۸ ‫ث َمانية عشر‬ thamāniyah ʿashr
nineteen 19 ۱۹ ‫ت�سعة عشر‬ tisʿah ʿashr

Now we can count up by tens:

• 20 (twenty): ‫( �عشرون‬ʿishrūn) or ۲۰
• 30 (thirty): ‫( ث َالثون‬thalāthūn) or ۳۰
• 40 (forty): ‫( أربَعون‬arbaʿūn) or ٤۰
• 50 (fifty): ‫( َخمسون‬khamsūn) or ۵۰
• 60 (sixty): ‫( �ست �ون‬sittūn) or ٦۰
• 70 (seventy): ‫سبعون‬ َ (sabʿūn) or ۷۰
• 80 (eighty): ‫( ث َمانون‬thamānūn) or ۸۰
• 90 (ninety): ‫( ت�سعون‬tisʿūn) or ۹۰

And now by hundreds:

• 100 (one hundred): ‫( �مئة‬miʾah or, more archaically, ‫ )مائة‬or ۱۰۰


• 200: ‫( مئتان‬miʾatān — dual form of ‫ )مئة‬or ۲۰۰
• 300: ‫( ثالث مئة‬thalāth miʾah) or ۳۰۰
• 400: ‫( أربع مئة‬arbaʿ miʾah) or ٤۰۰

http://qureshiuniversity.com/arabic.html 04-Jan-17
Page 22 of 214

• 500: ‫( خمس مئة‬khams miʾah) or ۵۰۰


• � ‫( س‬sitt miʾah) or ٦۰۰
600: ‫ت مئة‬
• 700: ‫( سبع مئة‬sabʿ miʾah) or ۷۰۰
• 800: ‫( ثمان مئة‬thamān miʾah) or ۸۰۰
• 900: ‫( تسع مئة‬tisʿ miʾah) or ۹۰۰
• 1000 (one thousand): ‫( ألف‬alf) or ۱۰۰۰

When you’re stringing numbers together you just use a lot of “ands,” and you read from the smallest number
up, like so:

• 28 (twenty-eight): ۲۸ (‫ثمانية و عشرون‬, thamāniyah wa ʿishrūn)


َ ‫واحد و‬, wāḥid wa khamsūn)
• 51 (fifty-one): ۵۱ (‫خمسون‬
• 739 (seven hundred thirty-nine): ۷۳۹ (‫تسعة و ثالثون و سبع مئة‬, tisʿah wa thalāthūn wa sabʿ miʾah)

To somebody accustomed to a left-to-right writing system, it seems like Arabic strangely writes its large
numerals left-to-right (above, “739” is ۷۳۹), even though the rest of the language is written from right-to-left.
However, if you put it in your head that Arabic reads numbers from smallest to largest, not largest to smallest
like us European-speaking types, then you see that these large numerals are actually also written right-to-left
(smallest to largest). I would illustrate this by juxtaposing some numerals with some text, but for some reason
the combination of Arabic numerals and Arabic text is impossible for WordPress to format correctly, at least
in a post that’s mostly written in English.

When counting things with these higher numbers, you counter-intuitively follow the number with the singular
noun, in indefinite accusative (direct object) case, and the singles digit part of the whole number takes the
opposite gender as the noun. I know; just try not to think about it. For example, “73 books” (book is a
masculine noun, ‫ )كتاب‬would be ً ‫( ثالثة و سبعون كتابا‬thalāthah wa sabʿūn kitāban), and “57
magazines” (magazine is a feminine noun, ‫ )مجل�ة‬would be ‫( سبع و خمسون مجل� ًة‬sabʿ wa khamsūn majallatan).
28 (twenty-eight): ۲۸ (‫ثمانية و عشرون‬, thamāniyah wa ʿishrūn) 51 (fifty-one): ۵۱ (‫واحد و َخمسون‬, wāḥid wa khamsūn) 739
(seven hundred thirty-nine): ۷۳۹ (‫تسعة و ثالثون و سبع مئة‬, tisʿah wa thalāthūn wa sabʿ miʾah) 100 (one hundred): ‫( �مئة‬miʾah or,
more archaically, ‫ )مائة‬or ۱۰۰ 200: ‫( مئتان‬miʾatān — dual form of ‫ )مئة‬or ۲۰۰ 300: ‫( ثالث مئة‬thalāth miʾah) or ۳۰۰ 400: ‫أربع مئة‬
(arbaʿ miʾah) or ٤۰۰ 500: ‫( خمس مئة‬khams miʾah) or ۵۰۰ 600: ‫ت مئة‬ � ‫( س‬sitt miʾah) or ٦۰۰ 700: ‫( سبع مئة‬sabʿ miʾah) or ۷۰۰ 800:
‫( ثمان مئة‬thamān miʾah) or ۸۰۰ 900: ‫( تسع مئة‬tisʿ miʾah) or ۹۰۰ 1000 (one thousand): ‫( ألف‬alf) or ۱۰۰۰

How does one count years?


Years are counted since the Hijra, that is, Mohammed’s emigration to Medina in AD 622.

Who made the Islamic calendar?


The Islamic calendar, which is based purely on lunar cycles, was introduced in 638CE by Umar bin al Khattab, who was a
close Companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the second Caliph of Islam.

What year is it in Islam?


Each numbered year is designated either "H" for Hijra or "AH" for the Latin Anno Hegirae ("in the year of the Hijra");
hence, Muslims typically call their calendar the Hijri calendar. The current Islamic year is 1437 AH. In the Gregorian
calendar, 1437 AH runs from approximately 14 October 2015 to 2 October 2016.

What is the Islamic calendar based on?


The Islamic calendar, Muslim calendar or Hijri calendar (AH) is a lunar calendar consisting of 12 months in a year of 354
days.

How did the Islamic (Hijri) Calendar Begin?


Omar Ibn Al-Khattab ‫ عــمــر بــن الــخــطــاب‬was the second Muslim Caliph. During his time, the expansion of the Muslim
lands was exceptional. One day and 17 years after the Hijrah incident and precisely in the year 622 A.D. the Caliph Omar
received a Saqq ‫( صــك‬check ‫ )شــيــك‬that was due in the month of Sha’ban ‫شــعــبــان‬. Muslims till that time still had no
calendar of their own, so Omar wondered which Sha’ban? Was it the last? Is it this current? Or Is it that coming next year!?.
Because of this incident, Omar had a meeting with his assistants and decided to start their own Muslim calendar. The
question was when to start it. There were many suggestions of important Islamic events, but Ali Ibn Abi-Talib ‫عــلــي بــن‬
‫ أبــي طــالــب‬suggested the year when the prophet migrated from Mecca to Madina and that was it.

So, The Muslim calendar was started by the Second Muslim Caliph Omar Ibn Al-Khattab in the year 17 A.H. (After Hijra).
It is also called the Arabic Calendar or the Islamic Calendar.

What Are the Different Forms of Arabic?


Classical Arabic
Modern Standard Arabic

What is classical Arabic?


Arabic has been in usage in the Arabian Peninsula for at least 2000 years. Classical Arabic is the formal version that was
used in the Al-Hijaz region 1500 years ago. Written records of the language include poetry that was composed in pre-
Islamic times (ca. 600 AD). The Quran was revealed in Classical Arabic, which is the main reason why the language has
preserved its purity throughout the centuries. Arabs consider Classical Arabic an important part of their culture. Throughout
Islamic history, Classical Arabic has been the language of royal and princely courts, the bureaucracy and the learned.
Literary expression was conducted mainly in Classical Arabic. Mastery of Classical Arabic and the exhibition of this
mastery, using both written and oral mediums, has always led to respect and awe.

What is Modern Standard Arabic (MSA)?


Modern Standard Arabic (MSA), as its name indicates, is the modern counterpart of Classical Arabic. It is the official
language of 44 Arab ________ where it is used in the oral and written form on all formal occasions. The main difference
between MSA and Classical Arabic lies in the vocabulary. MSA reflects the needs of contemporary expression whereas
Classical Arabic reflects the needs of older styles.

What is colloquial Arabic?


Colloquial Arabic is the spoken Arabic used by Arabs in their every day lives. Unlike MSA that is uniform in all Arab
______, colloquial Arabic is subject to regional variation, not only between different ______, but also across regions in the
same ______.

What are the main Arabic dialects?


Whereas MSA is the same throughout the Arab world, the dialects vary according to the geographical location. The further
away the ______, the greater the variation between the dialects. In a broad sense there is a wide difference between the
dialects of eastern ______ (Arabian Peninsula) and dialects of western ______ (Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and western
Libya). Dialects in the Middle East, may be broadly classified as follows:

• Dialects of Egypt and Sudan


• Dialects of the Arabian Peninsula
• Dialects of Syria, Lebanon and Palestine
• Dialects of Iraq
• Dialects of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and western Libya

Within each category, further sub-classification takes place, depending amongst other factors – on the location, level of
education, and degree of urbanization.

Does Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) ever overlap with colloquial Arabic?
Whereas all Arabs use MSA for the exchange of printed information, especially on formal occasions, Arabic dialects are
predominantly used for oral communication. Arabic as a spoken language has thus become more flexible. Although all
dialects may have descended from a single source (which is either Classical Arabic or another spoken variety of it), their
development was not tied to the norms or rules of Classical Arabic. However, in spite of the differences between all Arabic
dialects, their underlying structures are quite similar.

In fact, it is very difficult to find a situation where one type is used exclusively. For example, MSA is used in formal
speeches or interviews. However, as soon as the speaker diverts away from his well-prepared speech in order to add a
comment or respond to a question, the rate of colloquial usage in his speech increases dramatically. How much MSA versus
colloquial is used depends on the speaker, the topic, and the situation. At the other end of the spectrum, public education, as
well as exposure to mass media, has introduced MSA elements amongst the least educated so it would be equally difficult to
find an Arab speaker whose speech is totally unaffected by MSA.

Can Arabs from different regions communicate with each other in their respective dialects?
Arabic speakers from various parts of the world do communicate in their respective dialects.

However, the degree and ease of comprehensibility depends on two factors:

• The geographical location pertaining to the dialects

• The level of exposure to each dialect

With regards the first factor, Algerians may have more trouble communicating with Saudis than they would with Tunisians,
as Algeria is much closer to Tunisia than it is to Saudi Arabia. With regards to the second factor, the average Arab
throughout the Arab world has no problem whatsoever understanding the Egyptian dialect as they are all exposed to it via
popular TV programs, films and music produced in Egypt.

Page 169 of 214

Should a non-native Arabic learner study MSA, Classical Arabic, or one of the dialects, or all three?
Before venturing on a learning journey, you should choose the learning exercise that would best match your objectives. If
your goal is to do research, be able to read/understand Arabic books or the media, or use Arabic in formal situations, then
MSA is what you need to study. If you are going to use Arabic mainly in the spoken form in order to communicate with
people on the streets, then colloquial Arabic may suffice. It is important to note that by studying MSA as the basis of your
Arabic language knowledge, you easily acquire the colloquial form, as it is in many ways a simplified version of MSA.
Non-Arabic speaking Muslims who wish to learn Arabic for religious purposes often find learning Classical Arabic to be
most rewarding.

Which dialect should a non-native Arabic learner study?


If you know in advance the region or ______ where you may use Arabic, then, you should choose its dialect. If, on the other
hand, no such plans are definite, then it may be wiser to choose one of the dialects that is most easily comprehensible
throughout the Arab region, such as the Medina/Egyptian one.

Calendar Islamic calendar 1437–1438


What does an Islamic year look like?

3. Rabi’ al-awwal (Rabi’ I)
4. Rabi’ al-thani (Rabi’ II)

Days, months and years

Compilers of a calendar, attempting to record and to predict the passage of time, are offered an easy first step in the cycle of
the moon.

The only two measures of time available to primitive people are the day (the space between two nights) and the month (the
space between new moons). The month is a well adjusted length of time for recalling fairly recent events, and it has a magic
significance through its loose link with the female menstrual period. A far more important slice of time is the year, a full
circuit of the earth round the sun - crucial in human activities because of its influence on seasons and crops. But the length
of a year is exceptionally hard to measure.

Page 189 of 214

The simplest English translation of the Arabic term zhikr, is Remembrance. It is a key term and concept in Islam, since it is
mentioned in many places throughout the Holy Qur’an, and there are also frequent references to it in the compilations of the
teachings and sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, may God’s peace and blessings be upon him.

Dhikr means remembering and commemorating God. It is a clear and explicit order of the Noble Quran.
Two of the verses of the Holy Quran pertainig to dhikr are:
So (in return for all that) always remember and make mention of Me (when service to Me is due), that I may remember and
make mention of you (when judgment and recompense are due); and give thanks to Me, and do not be ungrateful to Me.
(Al-Baqarah Surah, 2:152)

O you who believe! When you meet a host in battle, stand firm and remember and mention God much, that you may
triumph. (Al-Anfal Surah, 8:45)

ZIKR is a practice of repeating the words which carry certain meanings, in the brain.
The word meditation carries different meanings in different contexts.
