1:50 BISM ALLAH AL-RAHMAN AL-RAHIM
1:52 Brothers and sisters AL-SALAM ALAYKOM. This is the lessons
1:57 in Arabic language program and it is designed for beginners who know nothing about the Arabic
2:04 language. I will try to cover as much ground as possible. I want you to know how to read
2:10 and write, by the end of this program. So, let us get to work and I'm going to start with
2:16 the alphabet. The first letter is Alef. This is the letter, just a straight line. The name
2:24 of the letter is Alef and it is equivalent to A in English. The second letter is BA. The name of
2:39 the letter is BA and it's equivalent to the English B. The next letter is Ta. Two
2:52 dots. Ta. And it's equivalent to the English letter T. The next letter has three dots. Tha.
3:05 Tha. I want you to look at me now. Tha. You stick your tongue out. Tha. TH as in think, through. TH.
3:14 Tha. TH. As in think. And the name of the letter is Tha. The next letter is Jeem. Jeem. And it looks
3:35 like this, has a dot right here. The name of the letter is Jeem. It is equivalent to G or J. G as
3:50 in go or J as in John. It can be used either way. The next letter looks exactly the same except
3:59 it doesn't have a dot and this is the letter Ha. Ha. It's like a loud whisper. Ha. A lot of English
4:10 speaking people you have trouble with this letter. They confuse it with the next letter which is the
4:16 letter Kh. They pronounce this letter which is Ha. They pronounce it Kh. And that is wrong. So,
4:24 you have to watch for this. The letter, this letter is Ha, a loud whisper. And we write it as an H
4:37 with the dot under it. So, this is the letter Ha represented by the letter H with a dot under it.
4:43 and you can think of it as a loud whisper. The next letter looks exactly the same except it
4:50 has a dot on the top. Now this is the letter Kh. This is the letter Kh, not the other one. The
4:58 other one is Ha. The letter before this one is Ha. This is Kh. It comes from the throat. The other
5:10 one is Ha. This is Kh. It is represented by the English Kh. Of course, there is no Kh in
5:17 English. Maybe, there's some in Scottish where they say the Loch monster. You know, the Kh. But
5:25 there is no English Kh. So, we represent it by Kh. The next letter is Dal. Looks like this and the
5:37 name of the letter is Dal and it is equivalent to the English D as in David. The next letter is
5:46 Dhal. Looks exactly the same except it has a dot on top of it. This is Dhal. We write it like this.
5:56 The name of the letter is Dhal and it is represented by Dh.
6:07 It sounds like Th as in then.
6:14 This is the letter Dhal. Th as in then, Dh. The next letter is Ra. Looks like this and
6:30 the name of the litter is Ra and the English equivalent is R. The next letter is exactly the
6:39 same except it has a dot on top of it. So, now you can see that the dots are very important
6:47 in the Arabic language, the placing of one dot, two dots on top of the letter or at the bottom
6:54 of the letter is very important. This is the letter Zein. This is the name of the letter Zein and it's
7:05 equivalent to Z in English. The next letter is Seen and it looks like this. It has three teeth.
7:16 Seen. That's the name of the letter. It's equivalent to S as in Sam. The
7:27 next letter looks exactly the same except it has three dots on top of it and this is Sheen.
7:36 The name of the letter is Sheen and it's equivalent to the English Sh as in show. The next letter is Saad.
7:48 We have to move fast because so give you the maximum Arabic. This is Saad. Now, this is a heavy
8:01 S. It is not like the regular S of Sam. This is a heavy S. There is no Saad, Saad or saw and there is
8:12 no English, of course, equivalent to this letter. The closest would be any word with a heavy S like some.
8:22 I don't know. There's no equivalent in the English language, but it's a heavy S and we represent it by
8:27 an S with a dot under it. So, the English equivalent looks like this, is just a little s with a dot
8:33 underneath it. The next letter is, looks exactly the same except it has a dot on top of it and
8:40 this makes it Daad. This is a heavy D and this is why we represent it by D and a dot under it.
8:52 Daad. Daad. As a matter of fact, Arabic is the only language in the world that has this letter, a
8:59 Heavy D. They call the Arabic language, the language of the Daad because it is the only
9:06 language that has this Heavy D. Daad. The next letter is a heavy T. It is called Ta. Ta. We
9:19 represent it with a T and a dot under it. Ta. It's a heavy Ta. T with a dot underneath it.
9:27 The next letter is Za. Now, you have to look at me. It's the same but has a dot on top of
9:35 it. Za. You stick your tongue out. See my tongue? Za. Za. It's a heavy Z with sticking your
9:44 tongue out. Za. I imagine the English thus would be the closest thing to it. Za. Thus. Za.
9:53 And we represent with a Z and a dot under it, but you have to stick your tongue out unlike the Z. So,
10:04 this is Za. Za. Excuse me, stick your tongue out. Za. The next letter is 'Ain. Looks like this.
10:13 'Ain. And it is represented by an A and some kind of an apostrophe before it.
10:26 This is the English representation. 'Ain. Now, look at me. 'Ain. It comes from your throat. 'Ain.
10:36 The sound... I'm trying to make as much sound as possible to let you get the feeling of
10:42 that letter. 'A from you throat. 'A. And the name of the letter is 'Ain. It is represented by A and
10:50 an inverted comma before it. The next letter is... oh boy, these are difficult letters... is
10:58 the same but with a dot on top of it. Now, this is Ghain. Oh, you have to look at me again. Gh. Ghain. Gh.
11:09 It's like the French R. The closest thing to it is the French R. You hear the French
11:14 saying merci means thank you and this is R that sounds like this letter. Gh. Gh.
11:23 It's a gargling sound and it is represented by Gh. Ghain. The name of the letter is
11:35 Ghain and it is represented by Gh. It sounds like the French R. The French R.
11:43 'Ain. Ghain. The next letter is Fa. Looks like this. The dot is very important.
11:52 Fa and of course is equivalent to the English F.
11:59 The next letter is Qa, another difficult one. Qa. It is represented by the English
12:10 Q. Qa. It's a heavy K. Qa. Again, from the throat. Qa. A heavy K. Qaf. The name of the letter is Qaf.
12:24 Now, the next letter is Kaf. This is the regular K here and it looks like this.
12:33 the name of the letter is Kaf and it's equivalent to the English K. Kaf.
12:43 The next letter is... the name of the letter is Lam. This is
12:49 Lam, equivalent to the English L. The name of the letter is Lam.
12:58 The next letter is Meem and it looks like this.
13:06 Meem is the name of the letter and it's equivalent
13:13 to the English M. Meem. The next letter is Noon. Looks like this with a dot.
13:24 and the name of the letter is Noon. It's equivalent to the English N.
13:33 The next letter is... you have to watch how I write this one. It looks like this.
13:42 This is the letter Ha. It's equivalent to the English H. Ha.
13:53 The next letter is Wow. I'm not admiring anything. It's just that's the name of the letter. Wow. Just
14:02 like when you like something and you say wow. This is the name of this letter. Wow. And here is the
14:10 name of the letter Wow. It's equivalent to the English W. Wow. And now the last letter... you didn't
14:18 think this will ever end, right? This is Ya. The last letter is Ya. Sometimes with two dots under it.
14:27 Ya. Equivalent to the English Y. So, this is the alphabet and this is the most important lesson
14:39 in this program. So, I want you to memorize the alphabet. Do not move from this lesson
14:47 until you know exactly every letter in the Arabic alphabet. I'm going to write the whole
14:53 alphabet now and pronounce the names of the letters and the English equivalent so I want
15:00 you to pay attention, play the tape back and forth until you memorize the Arabic alphabet.
15:06 Alright? Now, let us do the whole alphabet from beginning to end.
15:12 whoops! There we go. The first letter is Alef.
15:21 Ba. Alef is equivalent to the English A. Ba is equivalent to the English B. Ta.

17:16 I forgot to tell you that the Arabic is written from right to left, didn't I?
17:20 The Arabic is written from right to left, as you noticed. But so I go now to again
17:28 to the right side and start the new line with the letter... next letter which is 'Ain.
17:34 This is 'Ain. 'Ain from the throat. 'A. And this is Ghain or Gh like the French R. Gh.

22:04 know like... like the animal, the young sheep. lamb. This is the name of the letter is lamb.
22:09 but it represent... represents the English letter L and this is Meem represented by
22:17 M as in Mary. This is Noon. The English equivalent is N as in Nancy. This is Ha.
22:27 Represented by the letter H in English as in Harry. This is Wow which is equivalent to the
22:35 English W. Wow. and this is the last letter Ya. Equivalent to the letter Y in English.
22:47 Now, these are all consonants. There are no vowels in the Arabic language.
22:55 Another surprise. No vowels. Arabic is written from right to left. Surprise! And
23:04 there are no vowels. So, now the next lesson is the Arabic vowels. How are
23:11 the vowels represented? The A, I, O, U. How are they represented in Arabic? How
23:17 do you make the letter Ba or Bu or Bi. We're gonna find out.
23:26 Now, this lesson is about the vowels in the Arabic language and the vowels in Arabic
23:35 are simply signs you put on top of the letter or at the bottom of the letter and this gives the
23:41 direction or the vowels for the consonants. So, let me use the letter Ba, B to illustrate the vowels.
23:51 The letter... now, remember I expect you to know now the alphabet by heart. You play the tape over and
23:59 over until you memorize the alphabet, the Arabic. It's very important that you know the alphabet
24:04 by heart. In fact, I should give you a test and tell you what does the letter Sheen look like? Sheen
24:12 which is equivalent to Sh in English. Do you know what it looks like? You should. If not, go back and
24:20 study the alphabet. How about the letter Fa. Do you know what it looks like? If you don't, you go
24:28 back and study the alphabet. I want you to know the alphabet by heart at this point and now let
24:33 us move on to the vowels. I will use the letter Ba to illustrate the vowels. Of course, you know
24:42 that this is what the letter Ba looks like. It's equivalent to the English B
24:49 and to make it sound Ba like in English... the Egnlish Bat or But... to make it... to give it this
25:02 vowel, this direction, you simply put a slanted dash on top of the letter and this makes it Ba.
25:11 Now, if you want it to have the direction like Bit or Bet all you do in Arabic is you put the
25:27 slanted dash at the bottom of the letter instead of the top. This makes it Bi instead of Ba. How
25:36 about the sound Bu? How do you make it read Bu instead of Ba or Bi as in... as in Boot, for example?
25:50 Well, again you use another sign instead of putting a dash on top or the bottom, you put a small
25:58 comma on top of the letter and this makes it Bu. So, now you have the three directions, Ba, Bi
26:07 and Bu. If you use another letter, for example... Let's use the letter Ta. This is Ta and to
26:17 make it Ta, you put a dash on top of it. This is Ta. To make it Ti, you put the dash under it.
26:26 To make it Tu, you put a comma on top of it. Now, do you know what this letter is?
26:37 You better because this is Kaf. You better know what it is. If you don't, go back and
26:42 study the alphabet. This is the letter Kaf. The regular K and to make it pronounced
26:50 Ka, you put a dash a slanted dash on top of it. This makes it Ka. To make it Ku
27:00 you put a comma. To make it Ki, you put a slanted dash under it. So, these are... it's very
27:12 easy as you see, the Arabic vowels. Now what if we have a long vowel like for example in cat
27:25 Of course, this is K in Arabic, not C. This is K in Arabic. So, there's the word Cat
27:33 and there is the word Cut. How do you make a difference between Cut and Cat? Well to
27:41 give the K the letter K the direction Ka as in Cut, you just put the slanted dash, as I told
27:47 you, on top of the letter. Now, to make it a long vowel as we see here in Cat
27:56 you simply add the letter Alef after it. This makes it Kaa. Makes it a long vowel. Kaa not
28:07 Ka. So, this makes the difference in Cut and Cat. You add the letter Alef after the letter with the
28:16 slanted dash on top of it. This is Kaa. How about the direction Kii as in keep, for example. Here's Keep.
28:27 and let's say there's a word Kip.
28:32 How do you make a distinction between Keep which is long and Kip which is short? So, as you know
28:41 by now, all you need to do to make this letter pronounced Kii is to put a slanted dash under
28:48 it. This makes it Kii. To make it long, you simply add the letter Ya after it. So, this makes it Kii.
28:58 How about Ku? For example, the word Cool. Let me write it here, Cool. It's a long Cool
29:10 compared to the word
29:16 I can't think of a short Ku. Can you think of a sort Ku?
29:23 Cool is long. We need a short one. Anyway, to make... Coup d'etat as in Coup d'etat? How do
29:34 you spell that? Oh... it's not long. Coo. Okay. Kool. This is a short Ku and this is a long
29:47 Ku. This is an English word, huh? Well, live and learn. Coo. So, here's the Ku,
29:57 the short one. We'll just have a comma on top of it. To make it long as in Kool, you simply add the
30:03 letter Wow after it. So, now you should know that the Alef and the Ya and the Wow can be used
30:12 as to lengthen the vowels. So let me erase all this mess here and clarify the situation for you.
30:20 Let us use the letter Fa. This is the consonant Fa. To make it Fa, you put a slanted dash on top
30:32 of it. To make it Fi, you put a standard dash under it. To make it Fu, you add a... you put a comma
30:37 on top of it. Of course, they don't all exist at the same time. It's either Fa or Fi or Fu.
30:52 Now to make this a long Fu, you just add the letter Wow after it.
31:00 To make it a long Fa, you put an Alef after it. Fa. To make it a along Fi, you put the slanted dash under
31:11 it and the letter Ya after it. Fi. This makes it long. So, to illustrate the vowels, the alphabet
31:23 will look like this. A, Ba, Ta, Tha, Ja, Ha, Kha, Da, Dha, Ra, Za, Sa, Sha, Sa, Da, Ta
32:02 Za, 'Aa,
32:09 Gha
32:12 Fa, Qa, Ka, La, Ma,
32:25 Na, Ha, Wa, and Ya. Now, this is the alphabet with a vowel that's equivalent to the English A
32:39 or U. A, Ba, Ta, Tha and so on. Now, to change these sounds from... from A, Ba, Ta, Tha and
32:52 so on, you just put this slanted dash under each letter and they become I, Bi, Ti, Thi, Ji, Hi, Khi and so
33:01 on. If you want to change the direction from A to O or U, you put a comma on top of each letter.
33:12 Then, they become U, Bu, Tu, Thu, Ju, Hu and so on, the whole alphabet. So, I'm not gonna
33:21 do that to save time. Now, you get the idea about the three vowels and the extension
33:26 vowels. Once again, very fast the... if this is the consonant Lam. For example, there is La
33:37 and if you put the slanted dash under it becomes Li. If you put a comma on top of the
33:45 letter, it becomes Lu. So, these are the Arabic vowels. The long vowels, you just add one more letter after it.
33:53 This makes it Luu and if you put the slanted dash on the top and Alef after it, becomes Laa.
34:04 and if you put a slanted dash under it with a Ya, then it becomes a long Lii. So, now I
34:15 have a question for you. What if the letter does not have A or E or U, it's just a stop? You stop
34:24 on the letter, like in the word stop. The letter P in stop. You're stopping on the letter. It's
34:31 not stoPa or stoPi or stoPu. It is stop. And this is exactly the next vowel or sign in
34:42 Arabic. It is called SUKOON. SUKOON means stop. SUKOON means stop and it looks like a little
34:50 circle on top of the letter. So, if this is the letter Ba. This is Ba. And this is Bi.
35:01 This is Bu and a SUKOON or the stop is a little circle. This means, you stop on this letter.
35:11 So, if we use three letters that look like this, what is this? That's right. This is Ba. if you
35:24 put an Alef after it, it becomes Baa. If you put a SUKOON on top of it, you stop. BaB. So, this
35:34 becomes BaB and you know something, this is your first Arabic word. This means door. BaB. See, there
35:43 is a FAT-HA. This is called FAT-HA. This is a SUKOON and this is an extension. BaB. BaB means
35:49 door. So, there you have it the first Arabic word. Now, I want to give you the names of these vowels.
36:00 Let me erase all this.
36:06 The letter, again, the letter Ba.
36:11 The slanted dash on top of it is called FAT-HA
36:17 FAT-HA.
36:23 Now, in Arabic, let us write this word in Arabic. Your second
36:28 Arabic word. The letter F, you go to the right side. Here's the letter F.
36:35 To make it Fa, the vowel, you put a slanted dash. Fa. The next letter is T
36:41 and you remember from the alphabet, this is what the Ta looks like. Now, we are making
36:46 a stop here FAT. So, you put a circle on it, makes it FAT-HA. This is the
36:54 the letter Ha and it looks like this, as you know. FAT-HA. FAT-HA. Actually in Arabic, it is spelled FAT-HAH.
37:03 So, we write FAT-HA as a short but this is FAT-HA. Because FAT-HA, the other H is this one.
37:12 FAT-HA and again a stop on this, a SUKOON or a little circle. So, this is how you write the
37:19 name of the slanted dash. FAT-HA. FAT-HA. Now, of course, in Arabic these are the capital letters
37:27 if you... if you may. You can call them capital letters but there are... when you put the letters
37:33 in... connected in a word, they'll be different. I don't wanna scare you now but I will show you
37:38 how these letters are connected in a word. Well, let me do it now. The Fa connected will look like
37:46 this. The Ta will look like this. See? It's not too difficult. And the Ha will look like
37:54 this. FAT-HA. And the Ha will look like this and I'll have to explain this to you later. But this is
38:02 what FAT-HA looks like and we are now talking about the name of this vowel here. The FAT-HA.
38:14 The next vowel is called KASRAH and this is the one that goes underneath the letter
38:24 This is the letter Ba and to make it sound Bi, you put a
38:28 slanted dash under it. This vowel is called KASRAH
38:36 KASRAH.
38:40 KASRAH. In Arabic, you take the letter Kaf and make it like this for the vowel, Ka and then the Seen
38:52 and you put a SUKOON on it. KASRAH. Here's the letter Ra and the vowel is a slanted dash on top
39:01 of it. KASRAH. And then the Ha and with the SUKOON on it. A circle. KASRAH. This is the name of this vowel.
39:11 The connected words, this Ka, when it is at the beginning of the letter, the letter looks like
39:16 this. We're gonna go through the whole alphabet. The Seen will look like this, a slanted dash. The
39:22 SUKOON, the circle. Then the Ra. KASRAH. and the Ha looks like this when connected. KASRAH.
39:33 So this is... these are represent the name of this vowel here. KASRAH. The next vowel is
39:42 the the little comma on top of the letter that makes it Bu and that little comma when you put
39:50 it on top of the letter that makes it Bu. The name of this vowel is DAMMAH. The Heavy D.
40:01 DAMMAH.
40:07 So, you take this letter and write it here. It is the heavy the Daad.
40:12 Da. And then next M. And this will bring us to another sign. See? I'm sneaking up on you
40:20 with these signs, but there isn't much more. This is a stress sign like DAMMAH. You're stressing the M and
40:28 in Arabic, it is called SHADDAH and it looks like this, looks like a little W on top of the letter
40:37 and this makes it stressed. So, this is DAMMAH. The Ha goes here with a SUKOON on it. DAMMAH.
40:49 That's the name. Now, if you connect the letters, they will look like this. This is
40:54 the Da. This is the Ma. This is... You the put the slanted dash on top of the Da
41:00 to make it Da and the SHADDAH on top of the Meem to make it stressed DAMMAH and the
41:07 Ha looks like this. DAMMAH. So, these are the names of this vowel. The DAMMAH.
41:17 The next vowel that I want to explain to you is the SUKOON. SUKOON meaning stop. And of
41:26 course you know by now that it is just a little circle on top of the letter. It is called SUKOON.
41:36 SUKOON. This is N and to write in Arabic the S, of course, you remember looks like this. Seen.
41:45 To make it Su, you put a DAMMAH on top of it. SU. And then the Ka. To make it Ku, you put a DAMMAH on
41:53 top of it. SUKOO. SUKOO. But this is long. So, to make it long, you put a Wow after it, remember?
41:59 The long vowel. SUKOON and then the N with a circle on top of it. SUKOON which is this letter. SUKOON.
42:08 This is the name of this vowel. When connected, it will look like this. This is the Sa. Put a comma on top
42:17 of it, makes it a DAMMAH. Makes it SU and this Ka in the middle the word looks like this with a DAMMAH
42:24 on top of it and then the Wow looks like this and the Noon. SUKOON. So, this is the name of this vowel.
42:35 SUKOON. The last sign, may be the one before last,
42:43 is the SHADDAH or the stress. It looks like a little W. Now, this stress
42:57 is used in conjunction with the FAT-HA or
43:04 the KASRAH or the DAMMAH. It is used in conjunction with
43:12 any of them and you must stress the letter when you see this little sign
43:20 like in Mississippi. You will put a SHADDAH on the S. Mississippi or Massachusetts. You
43:29 put a SHADDAH on the S. Anytime, you stress a letter, you put this little W. The SHADDAH.
43:36 The name of this sign is SHADDAH and in English, it will be written like this. SHADDAH. Now, in Arabic, to
43:49 write it the letter Sheen we'll go to the right side, will look like this, as you know and to
43:57 make it Sha because of this vowel, you put a slanted dash on top of it. The next letter would be this Dal.
44:07 and because it is stressed, it's a double letter in English, you just put this same sign here
44:12 SHADDAH in conjunction with the FAT-HA. SHADDAH and then the Ha with a SUKOON on it. SHADDAH.
44:24 and when you write it down, it will be like this. SHADDAH. So, this is the name of this sign. SHADDAH.
44:46 Now, there is a little sign that goes with the letter Alef. It's called HAMZA.
44:53 and it really doesn't mean... mean anything. It's a... but you'll come across
44:57 at it. Sometimes, this HAMZA substitutes for the Alef, if you have two ALEFs
45:04 following each other. In Arabic, they usually substitute the HAMZA for the first Alef.
45:13 For example, in the word Quran. Here's another Arabic word. Quran. The first
45:20 letter is Qaf. To make it Qu, you put a DAMMAH on top of it. Qur. The next letter
45:28 is Ra. You put a SUKOON on it because you stop. Qur. Qur. 'A. Then, we use the HAMZA
45:35 to substitute for the Alef because there's an extension. Remember the long vowel? Quran
45:41 There's the Nonn. So, this is the word Quran. That is not connected. When
45:48 you connect it. It will look like this. Quran. So, here you have another Arabic word.
46:03 Quran. So, this... I wanted you to know about this HAMZA which is also found inside the letter Kaf as
46:11 part of it but this is not... it's just part of the letter, doesn't have any... any additional sound to it
46:24 And now the fun begins. I'm going to study with you the way the letters look at the beginning of
46:33 the word, in the middle of the word, and at the end of the word. So we're gonna go through the
46:39 alphabet letter by letter and I will show you how the letter looks at the beginning of the connected
46:45 word, at the end and in the middle. There are... before we start anything, I want to show you six letters
46:54 that cannot be connected from the left side. It can be connected only from one side, the right
47:00 side. And fortunately they do not change. The look does not change. They look exactly the same. These
47:08 are the six letters: Alef, Dal, Dhal, Ra, Zein, and Wow. These six letters are the only letters in the
47:24 Arabic alphabet that cannot be connected from this side, from the left side. They can only be
47:31 connected from the right side, connected. to other letters and they do not change. They look exactly
47:37 like this. They look exactly the same. So now let me go through the whole alphabet letter by letter
47:47 and what they look like and again I want you to memorize this. Once I finish the how the letters
47:55 look at the beginning, middle and end of the word, I want you to memorize everything and do not move
48:01 to the next lesson until you know every single letter. That's right. Every one of them and what they
48:07 look like at the beginning of the word, in the middle of the word and at the end of the word.
48:12 Here's the letter Alef. At the beginning of the word, it looks like this, same way.
48:22 unless it is substituted by the HAMZA. This is why quite often, you'll see the HAMZA on top
48:29 of the Alef. So, it either looks like this or like this at the beginning of the word.
48:38 There is one word of Quran that says Aantom which is
48:41 two Alefs. So, they don't write like this. Aantom.
48:50 This is a word of Quran. Aantom. But instead of doing this, they usually substitute the HAMZA for
49:00 the first Alef, like I showed you before in the word Quran or to look like this. Aantom.
49:10 Aantom which means "are you" So, this is where the letter Alef is substituted with the HAMZA.
49:24 As I mentioned in the first rule, the Alef can be connected from the right side. So, it'll be like this
49:33 but not from the left side. So, this is how it will look in the middle of the word or at the end of
49:38 the word. So, let's use one word... the letter... the word Baab. You know the word Baab means "door." Here's
49:47 the Ba. There's the Alef and another Ba. Baab. This means door. Baab. And these are connected.
49:57 So, the Alef cannot be connected from the left side as you see here, only from the right side.
50:05 OK. Let's move on to the next letter which is
50:08 the letter Ba. You already saw what the Ba looks like.
50:17 This is the letter Ba and at the beginning of the word looks like this.
50:24 In the middle, it looks like this. This is it, here. Because this is a one letter and this is another
50:31 letter. At the end of the word, it looks like this. OK? At the beginning, in the middle and the end.
50:42 The next letter is Ta and it's exactly the same as the Ba, except it has the two dots, of
50:51 course. In the middle, to look like this. In the end, it will look like this. The next letter is
50:59 the letter Tha. Th as in through. And it's exactly the same as its sister letters except, of course, it
51:10 has the three dots. In the middle, it will be like this. At the end, it will look like this. Eventually,
51:20 I will show you examples of these letters in words. OK. The next letter is Jeem, as you
51:30 know and you know what it looks like. Scratch your memory now and find out. It looks like this.
51:38 Jeem. At the beginning of the word, it looks like this. In the middle, it looks like this. This is one
51:50 other letter and it can be connected from the left side. At the end of the word, it looks like this.
51:59 This is the letter Jeem. The next letter Ha. Of course, you know
52:06 it looks like this. That's exactly the same.
52:14 The next letter Kha. At the beginning, it looks like
52:19 this. In the mid, it looks like this. At the end, it looks like this.
52:29 Then, we come to one of the six letters
52:34 that cannot be connected from the left and I'm talking about the letter Dal, the next one.
52:49 The letter Dal looks like this. At the beginning of the word, it looks like this
52:56 and cannot be connected from the left, as you know. In the middle, it looks like this.
53:03 is connected only from one side and at the end, it looks exactly the same way. At the
53:12 end, it's exactly the same. The letter Dhal, of course, is exactly the same except it has a dot.
53:25 The next letter is Ra. That's also one of the six letters that cannot be connected from the
53:31 left side. At the beginning of the word looks like this. In the mid, it look like this. At
53:36 the end, looks like this, same as the middle. See the looks of the letter do not change
53:45 and then the next letter is Zein and that's also similar except it has
53:50 the dot, of course. In the middle and the end, it looks like this.
53:56 And now we get to the letter Seen. The letter, the capital letter looks like this. Now, at the
54:10 beginning of the word, it looks like this. In the middle... here's one letter coming from the
54:15 right side and it connects from both sides. Looks like this. At the end of the word, it looks like this.
54:31 It's connected from the right side. Sheen is exactly the same way has the three dots. At
54:40 the beginning of the word, in the middle... just be sure you have the three teeth showing in the
54:49 middle of the word, anywhere or at the beginning or at the end. These three teeth indicate the Seen
54:56 without the dots or the Sheen with the three dots. The next letter is Saad and the Saad at
55:03 the beginning looks like this. You have to have this tooth there, otherwise it will be confused
55:10 with other letters as you will see. So, you have to have this tooth. In the middle, it looks like this.
55:18 At the end, it looks like this. Again, you have to have this tooth, here. It's a Saad. The Daad, of course,
55:27 is exactly the same except it has the dot on top of it. At the beginning, it looks like this. In the
55:33 middle, it looks like this. Remember this tooth here? And at the end of the word, it looks like this.
55:43 the next letter is Ta.
55:54 And you know by now that the Ta looks like this. At the beginning of the word, it looks like
56:02 this. In the middle, it is simply connected from both sides and at the end looks like this.
56:10 Za is exactly the same except it has a dot at the beginning, looks like this in the middle
56:18 looks like this at the end. It looks like this. Oops, I lost all my colors here! It's
56:25 okay. The next letter is very interesting. The letter 'A. 'AYN. You know that it looks like this.
56:36 At the beginning of the word, it looks like this. In the middle... now watch this
56:43 looks like this. This is in the middle of the word. At the end, it looks like this.
56:52 This's why I told you it's an interesting letter. Next, the letter Gha. Sounds like the French
57:00 R. Gha. At the beginning, it's exactly the same as the 'A except it has the dot on top of it.
57:12 This is the letter 'Ayn and this is the little Ghain. 'A and Gh.
57:20 The next letter is Fa.
57:29 You know the Fa looks like this. At the beginning of the word, it looks like this. In the middle... now
57:36 watch this. Now this is a circle, perfect circle. Fa. At the end of the word, it looks like this.
57:45 Remember the 'A looked similar to this or the Gha, but it had angles to it. This is the 'A.
57:52 This is the Fa. To make it more confusing, this is the Gh. The Gha would look... will look
57:59 will look like this. This is... this is Gha. Ghain. And this is the Fa. See the difference?
58:05 There are subtle differences but see now you're an expert on the Arabic language and
58:09 this is why you know these differences. This is the purpose of this tape. You know what the 'A
58:16 or Gha look like and what the Fa looks like. Now, let us go to the next letter. Qaf.
58:24 The letter Qaf looks like this with the two dots. At the beginning of the word looks like the
58:31 Fa except it has two dots. In the middle, it's exactly like the Fa except it has two dots and
58:36 at the end looks like this with the two dots. It's... it's deeper than the letter Fa.
58:45 And now another very interesting letter.
58:49 It is so interesting you can call it crazy letter. The letter Kaf.
58:57 The letter Kaf looks like this. Right? But look what... see what it looks like at the beginning
59:03 of the word. What is this? My goodness. Kaf. But this is what it looks like at the beginning of
59:11 the word. This is what it looks like in the middle connecting from both sides and at the
59:19 end, it looks like the parent letter like this, at the end. So, at the beginning, the middle, the end.
59:29 The next letter is Lam. L. Looks like this at the beginning of the word. Looks like this at
59:37 the end of the world... in the middle, excuse me. The middle of the word. And now we know why
59:41 the letter Alef, see down here the letter Alef, cannot be connected from the left. Otherwise,
59:48 you'll confuse the Alef and the Lam. So, the Lam, L, can be connected from both sides but
59:55 not the Alef. At the end of the word, the Lam looks like this. I'm going to show you examples
1:00:03 of all these letters in the beginning of the word, in the middle and at the end.
1:00:10 Now let us go to the letter Meem, the next letter. The Meem looks like this at the beginning of the word,
1:00:21 it's the same. Now in the middle, what's this? Looks like this, the middle of the word, connected with both
1:00:29 sides. At the end of the word, it looks like this or like this. Some people give it a tail like that.
1:00:37 So, this is at the beginning, in the middle and
1:00:41 at the end of the word. Either way is correct. The next letter is Noon.
1:00:50 Noon. N. At the beginning of the word, looks like this. In the middle looks
1:00:55 like this. Well let me make this a little clearer.
1:00:59 At the end of the word looks like this. It is the letter Noon. The next letter if
1:01:09 you think the Kaf was a crazy letter, this letter Ha is the craziest yet. You see the
1:01:16 parent letter looks like this. Ha. So, at the beginning of the word, it looks like
1:01:21 this. In the middle, and this is where it is crazy. Watch very closely. This is how it looks like.
1:01:32 Let me repeat that. This is what it looks like in the middle of the word
1:01:39 from both sides. This is the Ha. I told you it was crazy. Also, sometimes it's written like
1:01:45 this. Ha. In the middle. At the end, it looks like this. I told you it was a crazy letter. Very
1:01:58 strange. But once you know it, you become the expert. So, here's the letter Ha. At the
1:02:06 beginning of the word or in the middle, in the middle of the word or at the end.
1:02:15 It is very easy once you know. You know, don't let... don't let these
1:02:19 things intimidate you. Things you become afraid of things when you're ignorant
1:02:23 of them. Ignorance creates fear but once you know it becomes very easy.
1:02:28 So, this letter and the others will become very easy for you the next letter is Wow.
1:02:38 And as you remember look down here. It's one of the six letters that cannot be connected from
1:02:43 the left and it does not change its looks like the crazy letter Ha. So, at the beginning of the word
1:02:50 looks like this and cannot be connected from this side. In the middle, it will be connected only from
1:02:57 the right side but not from the left side like this and at the end, it will look the same like this.
1:03:05 The last letter, thank goodness, is the letter Ya which looks like this and sometimes with
1:03:14 two dots at the beginning of the word, it looks like this, the two dots. In the middle
1:03:20 looks like this with the two dots. At the end, it looks like this with the two dots.
1:03:26 It's connected from here. So, these are all the letters of the Arabic alphabet as they
1:03:38 appear at the beginning of the word, the middle of the word or the end of the word.
1:03:45 Let's take a break and we'll be back with more lessons.
1:04:18 AL-SALAM ALAYKOM. So, here we are again and I have a very nice surprise for you and I'm assuming that
1:04:26 you studied the alphabet. You know now every single letter looks in the beginning of the word
1:04:32 in the middle, at the end. I am hoping that you have memorized the vowels, the FAT-HA, the KASRAH
1:04:41 the DAMMAH the SHADDAH, the SUKOON. So, you know all the Arabic alphabet. You know what they look like
1:04:47 at the beginning, middle and end of the word. You know the vowels and the surprise is now you can
1:04:55 read and write Arabic. That's right. You will not understand a thing but this you'll have to build
1:05:02 up. You have to build up your vocabulary and the grammar as you go but right now you're supposed, if you
1:05:08 did what you're supposed to do that is memorize the alphabet and the vowels, you should be able
1:05:15 to pick up any book and read it. You can pick up the Quran or any book or any Arabic newspaper
1:05:20 and read it, right now. If not, please go back and study the alphabet and what they look
1:05:28 like and the vowels. Play the tape over and over until you memorize the alphabet and I want you
1:05:34 to pick up any Arabic book look in it and read it. I'm gonna prove it to you. Okay. Here we go.
1:05:43 you know what this letter is?
1:05:46 This is Ba. We put a slanted dash under it, becomes Bi. We connect it with this letter
1:05:55 that has three teeth. You know what this is? This is the Seen and you put a SUKOON on it, becomes
1:06:02 Bis. So, this is Bis. Bis. See? You can see it in an Arabic book looking like this and then
1:06:11 the letter Meem that looks like this at the end of the word and we put a KASRAH under it. This
1:06:17 becomes BISMI. See? BISMI. You should be able to read it now. You probably even know the meaning
1:06:25 of this word. BISMI. In the name of. The next word is, here's, ALEF. With the FAT-HA make it A.
1:06:35 There is a Lam at the beginning of the word. We'll put a SUKOON on it. This makes it AL.
1:06:43 AL. This is the first word. BISMI. The next word is A and Lam. AL. Another Lam with a FAT-HA
1:06:52 AL-LA. ALLAH. There is a Ha at the end of the word. Remember? BISMI and ALLAHI
1:07:06 Now, when you read these two letters. Excuse me. I have to cut here. Repeat again. Take two
1:07:18 on this part. Now, when you look at these two words together and this is a very simple rule that
1:07:28 you will see over and over again. When you read the two words. This is BISMI and this is ALLAHI.
1:07:34 Together will become BISMILLAHI. BISMILLAHI. The Alif and the Lam become silent. This AL.
1:07:44 Alif and Lam. This is the Arabic article the. AL. You're gonna see it in every word.
1:07:54 Let us look at this word here. The first letter in it is Ba. We put a KASRAH under it to make it Bi.
1:08:02 The second letter is Seen and we're gonna put a SUKOON on it to make it BIS. So, so these two letters
1:08:11 Bi and the Seen with a SUKOON makes it BIS. The third letter is Ma, Meem and we'll put a KASRAH
1:08:18 under make it BISMI. So, there's an Arabic word that you probably know the meaning of this word
1:08:25 BISMI which means in the name of. The next word starts with an A. The second letter is AL is a
1:08:36 Lam with the SUKOON. AL. So, this makes it AL and by the way, this is the Arabic article the. AL. Alif
1:08:47 and Lam with a SUKOON. This here is AL, the article the. And you're
1:08:55 going to see it a lot. The. AL. The third letter in this second word is another Lam
1:09:07 with a FAT-HA. AL LA. AL LA. And the third letter, the last letter HA. Allah. Allah. this is a
1:09:17 special way of writing the word that means God. Allah. So, it's BISMI Allah. These two words. Now,
1:09:25 when you have two words together, the article AL becomes silent. You do not pronounce it. There is
1:09:37 the first word, BISMI. You can read it. Look it up in any book, you read it. BISMI. BISMI.
1:09:45 And the second word ALLAH but you have memorized the alphabet you know what they look like in the
1:09:51 beginning, the middle and the end. Allah. And now a very simple rule is that this article AL becomes
1:10:00 silent when you read the two words together. So, this becomes BISMILLAH. BISMILLAH. And you have
1:10:08 a SHADDAH on this letter because of the... when you cancel these two, the SHADDAH will look like that.
1:10:19 So, these are two word. In the name of God. BISMILLAH. And you will always see that the article AL becomes
1:10:27 silent when you read... when you combine the words together. The next word is another AL
1:10:35 the article the. AL. See, this is the God. AL. ALLAH. BISMILLAH. AL. the. Most Gracious. RAHMAN. AL-RA
1:10:49 and then the Ha with the SUKOON. AL-RAH. And then the Ma. AL-RAHMAN
1:11:01 There it is. BISMILLAH. Now, because we are not stopping on Allah, again
1:11:06 we have to put a KASRAH here, becomes BISMILLAHI
1:11:12 And this word is AL-RAHMAN. Just make it connect because there's one more word to
1:11:18 make this AL-RAHMANI. If you stop, then you put a SUKOON. Cause SUKOON mean stop. AL-RAHMANI
1:11:25 And again if you read this letter, combine this world combine with the other words
1:11:31 the article AL becomes silent and you add a SHADDAH on this letter. So, it becomes BISMILLAH-E
1:11:39 RAHMANI. The article AL becomes silent. Same with the last word AL
1:11:50 RA HI and the long HI M. And because we're going to stop, we make... put a SUKOON AL-RAHIM. And this
1:12:02 AL becomes silent when you combine it with the other words. So, when you
1:12:08 read the whole thing, it becomes BISMILLAH-E RAHMAN-E RAHIM. And you put a SHADDAH here.
1:12:18 See how easy it is? Now, as you see, you can read the
1:12:25 the words in any book. I'm going to prove it to you. Let us open a Quran. BISMILLAH-E
1:12:33 RAHMAN-E RAHIM. And you will see that it's very easy to read and it is very easy because you
1:12:39 studied the alphabet and the vowels and how the alphabet looks inside the words. So now
1:12:45 let us go to the Quran and I will prove to you that you can open the Quran and read it
1:12:58 Okay. So, here is a Quran, just a regular Quran in Arabic. There is no English in it and we're going
1:13:05 to open it to a BISMILLAH-E RAHMAN-E RAHIM. There it is and as you see, it will look
1:13:13 familiar to you because you studied the Arabic alphabet inside the words and you studied the
1:13:21 vowels. So, here is BISMILLAH-E RAHMAN-E RAHIM that I wrote for you on the board. There is the Bi
1:13:28 with a KASRAH. There's the Seen. BIS. Now, don't let this extension, artistic work intimidate. you.
1:13:38 They just... doesn't matter how long this is but this is the Seen. Here's the Meem. BISMI.
1:13:47 And there is Allah. Alif Lam Lam Ha. Allah. Together, the article AL becomes silent and becomes BISMILLAH
1:13:56 and there's a KASRAH here makes it ALLAHI. BISMILLAHI. And there's AL-RAHMAN.
1:14:06 There is the Noon. They just try to make it artistic but there is the Noon with the dot BISMILLAH-E
1:14:14 RAHMAN-E RAHIM. See? There's nothing to it. It's very easy. You open any Quran and you can read it. You can
1:14:21 see it BISMILLAH-E RAHMAN-E RAHIM. Can you read the rest? This Alif Lam Meem. Alif Lam Meem. This
1:14:31 sign here is a MADDAH, means Alif LAAM Meem. They want it too as when you read it to extend
1:14:39 the Lam and the Meem. Alif LAAM Meem. Zalika. See how easy it is? You can recognize... you may
1:14:47 not understand what this is but you sure know how to read and write the Quran now. ZALIKA.
1:14:56 AL-KITAB. AL-KITAB means this... ZALIKA means this. AL- ZA. ZALIKA AL-KITAB. ZALIKAL KITAB.
1:15:10 LA. This is Lam Alif. Lam and Alif. So, it's a unique way of writing the Lam and the
1:15:19 Alif. Lam Ra. Ra. There is the Ya with the SUKOON. LA RAYBA. LA RAYBA. That means
1:15:28 La means no. LA. RAYBA means doubt. There is no doubt in this book. ZALIKA. This. AL-KITAB. Book.
1:15:37 This book. La. No. RAYBA. doubt. Fihi. See the letter Fa with a KASRAH? Fi. And then the Ya.
1:15:46 after the Fa makes it a long FIHI. In it. There is no doubt in it. This book no doubt in it.
1:15:57 So, as you see you can open the Quran or any Arabic book and read it
1:16:03 only because you have memorized the alphabet and the vowels.
1:16:09 Now, let us go back to the board and study certain words, certain expressions.
1:16:22 Let us now look at some familiar expressions in Arabic and I will show you how you can actually
1:16:29 read and write any Arabic right now. You can write your name, for example. Let's say your
1:16:36 name is Kathleen. Let's write Kathleen. The first letter is Ka and this is what it looks
1:16:43 at the beginning of the word, as you know. To make it long, you put an Alif. Ka.
1:16:50 and the Alif cannot be connected from the left side. Then the next letter is Tha. Kath...
1:16:59 The next letter is Lam. Kathli... So, you put a KASRAH under it. KATHLI. To make it long, you put a Ya.
1:17:06 Kathleen. See? You can write any name right now. You can read and write any name. There is Kathleen. Let
1:17:19 us say your name is Robert. Robert. The first letter is Ra and the direction is Ru.
1:17:28 Rubert. To make it long, RU. And then Ba. ROBERT. And the Ta with a SUKOON. ROBERT.
1:17:44 You can read and write any name. So, practice by reading, by writing your name and you can always
1:17:54 write to me and write any sentences and ask me to correct them for you.
1:18:01 Some familiar expressions in Arabic like AL-SALAM-O ALAYKOM, for example.
1:18:07 Let us write that down AL-SALAM-O ALAYKOM. It is AL. Here's the first letter Alif. A.
1:18:15 AL. The article AL. The. Means peace on you. AL-SA...
1:18:23 And then another Lam. AL-SALA... To make it long, put another Alif and this is what it looks
1:18:31 like the Lam. The Lam Alif is peculiar looks like this. AL-SALAMU. Here's the letter Meem with a
1:18:39 DAMMAH. AL-SALAMU. A. Here's the letter A. LA. I Here's the letter Ya with a SUKOON. ALAYKU...
1:18:53 KU M. And there is the Meem and the SUKOON. ALAYKUM. See how easy it is? AL-SALAMU ALAYKUM.
1:19:01 It's very easy. There is AL-SALAMU ALAYKUM. You can read and write any Arabic right now and
1:19:10 this is what AL-SALAMU ALAYKUM looks like. Let us put ALHAMDULLILAH. Praise be to God.
1:19:18 When somebody asks you how are you? We're gonna write it in Arabic. KAYFA HALUK? How are you?
1:19:23 KAYFA HALUK? Then, you answer ALHAMDULLILAH. Thank God Praise be to God. So, this is what ALHAMDULLILAH
1:19:30 looks like. AL. The article AL again. ALHA. This is the HA. This is the Meem. ALHAM...
1:19:41 DU. There's the Dal with the DAMMAH. ALHAMDU. LLILAH. LI. Another Lam with a SHADDAH. LILLAH.
1:19:51 ALHAMDULLILAH. See how easy it is. All you need to do is memorize the alphabet. This is ALHAMDULLILAH.
1:20:03 Now let us write how are you in Arabic? KAYFA HALUK?
1:20:08 We will study together the grammar and you will build up the grammar and the vocabulary as you
1:20:18 study Quran, for example. KAYFA HALUK? means how are you? Here is KAYFA. The Ka. There is the Ya. KAY...
1:20:28 and there's the Fa. KAYFA. What's so difficult about that? KAYFA means how. KAYFA
1:20:37 HALUKA means you for a male will be HALUKA. Here's Ha, make it long. HALUKA. This is the Kaf at
1:20:48 the end of the word. Now, for a male, you say KAYFA HALUKA. For a female, you say KAYFA HALUKI.
1:20:58 Very easy. So, this is for a female. KAYFA HALUKI. And the answer would be ALHAMDULLILAH.
1:21:09 which implies I'm fine. ALHAMDULLILAH. And you may want to add thank you. SHOKRAN. This
1:21:17 will teach us a new vowel. SHOKRAN. SHU. There's the letter Sheen with a DAMMAH makes it SHU and then
1:21:27 then the Kaf. SHOKRA and RAN. SHOKRAN is a double FAT-HA here. And you put an Alif, also. SHOKRAN.
1:21:39 It's a... and you will see this a lot. SHOKRAN. The sound at the end is also added.
1:21:47 Don't let this confuse you but you will pick it up as you go. Sometimes the grammar makes
1:21:54 it SHOKREN. A double KASRAH. SHOKREN. SHOKREN. Sometimes it is SHOKRON. SHOKRON.
1:22:18 So
1:22:20 beware of this double. It is not a very common thing but you'll be
1:22:26 aware of the double vowel. SHOKRAN. You can say HAMDAN, for example.
1:22:35 HAMDAN. In certain grammatical situations, it would be HAMDAN. If you say a lot. The word a
1:22:46 lot means KATHIR. KATHI... and make it long, put a Ya. KATHIR. You put a
1:22:57 SUKOON for KATHIR. However, if you want to say SHOKRAN KATHIR. This KATHIR
1:23:02 will have to follow the double here, so becomes SHOKRAN KATHIRAN.
1:23:07 means thanks a lot. KATHIRAN. It will follow the the grammar because this word is a description
1:23:17 of this. It has to follow the same kind of grammar. So, this is SHOKRAN KATHIRAN or SHOKRON KATHIRON.
1:23:25 with a double DAMMAH if you want. Then, you remove this Alif, put a double FAT-HA, use the
1:23:31 Alif. Then, you put a double DAMMAH becomes SHOKRON KATHIRON. Now, with HAMDAN if you want to praise
1:23:40 God. HAMDAN KATHIRAN, then you put KATHIRAN down here. KATHIR... make it long KATHIRAN. HAMDAN
1:23:52 KATHIRAN means a lot of praise. You want to praise God a lot. So, this is the double vowel that came
1:24:02 inadvertently. It is not very common but you will see it in the Quran and then some other books. The
1:24:10 next expression I want you to study is IN SHA ALLAH. God willing. IN SHA ALLAH means God willing. IN...
1:24:19 There is I. Alif with a KASRAH. I. IN SHA... SHA... make it long... SHA A... This is another Alif. You know
1:24:33 because there are two Alifs after each other, it's awkward to put two Alifs. So, they put a
1:24:38 HAMZA. IN SHA ALLAH. ALLAH. IN SHA ALLAH. Some other expressions would be MA SHA ALLAH, for example.
1:25:00 MA SHA ALLAH, when you admire your own car or your own child or your own house, the Quran teaches you
1:25:07 to say MA SHA ALLAH which means this is God's will. This is what God has given me. You are acknowledging
1:25:12 God's provision to you. So, MA SHA ALLAH will be like this MA SHA... MA SHA ALLAH.
1:25:28 MA SHA ALLAH. So, these are some of the most common expressions
1:25:34 in Arabic and you can read them and you can write them very well now because you
1:25:40 memorized the alphabet. You can now read and write any Arabic, book, newspaper or
1:25:47 anything because you now recognize the alphabet. This is take one of the grammar.
1:25:54 Welcome back. Now, we are going to look at the
1:26:02 grammar, Arabic language grammar, a very important lesson. The grammar
1:26:11 forget it... take two. This would make me smile. BISMILLAH-E AL-RAHMAN AL-RAHIM. And now we come to
1:26:24 a crucial point in our lesson, Arabic language grammar. We're going to study the Arabic grammar
1:26:33 and I have a novel way of presenting it. Hopefully, I will make it easy for you. When you look at any
1:26:40 Arabic word, any Arabic word, search for the root of the word. For example, let's take the word book
1:26:48 KITAB. The word KITAB has a root word which is KATABA. To write. And this... the derivation of
1:27:00 the word will show you that KITAB has something to do with writing a book. For example, the word
1:27:07 Quran. Take the word Quran. The root word will be Qara'a which means to read. Quran
1:27:14 means a book to read and so on. Any Arabic word, look for the root of the word and this will
1:27:23 give you a hint as to what the meaning is. And now for the grammar what I will do, I will take
1:27:31 root words and show you the different grammars of that word and you will see by comparison.
1:27:41 Now, let me say at the outset that what I'm going to show you are the general rules. There are, of
1:27:48 course, exceptions and those are not much. There are only a few exceptions. So, just look at the
1:27:55 general rules and this will help you a lot. And practice reading and writing. This will help you
1:28:01 tremendously. So, now let's take the first word, KATABA. The root word is KATABA which means to
1:28:08 write. It looks like this, as you know. This is KATABA. this is KA. This is TA in the middle of the word and this
1:28:18 is BA. KATABA which means to write. Now, he writes will look like this. YAKTUBU.
1:28:28 YAKTUBU. YAKTUBU. Let me get a better ink here.
1:28:43 Now she writes will be TAKTUBU. TAKTUBU. I write will be AKTUBU. AKTUBU.
1:29:10 Also, you write will look like this. TAKTUBU. It will be she writes
1:29:17 or you write. We'll use the same word. Now, they write will look like this.
1:29:27 YAKTUBUN. An extension here. YAKTUBUN. This is... this means they write.
1:29:46 If it is plural, you write, it will be TAKTUBUN. It will look like this TAKTUBUN.
1:29:57 TAKTUBUN means you plural write. So, here's the root word KATABA. He writes YAKTUBU. She writes
1:30:09 TAKTUBU or you write singular will be TAKTUBU. I write will be AKTUBU. They write will be
1:30:20 YAKTUBUN. You plural write will be TAKTUBUN and of course KITAB means book. KITAB. This means book
1:30:35 and you can see that if you go to the root word KATBA means to write. So, what you need to
1:30:42 know is that KATABA means to write and anytime you see a word with the KA and TA and BA
1:30:49 you know that it has to do with writing. Now, let's go to the next word QARA'A means to read. QARA'A.
1:31:04 QARA'A to read. Now, he reads will be YAQRA'U. YAQRA'U. Now, notice here KATABA
1:31:18 YAKTUBU. QARA'A. YAQRA'U. She reads will be TAQRA'U. TAQRA'U means she
1:31:34 reads or also you singular read. TAQRA'U. I read will 'AQRA'U.
1:31:46 'AQRA'U. 'AQRA'U means I read. So, I want you to notice here KATABA to write. QARA"A to read.
1:31:56 YAKTUBU he writes. YAQRA'U he reads. TAKTUBU she writes. TAQRA'U she reads. AKTUBU.
1:32:11 AQRA'U. This is I read AKTUBU I write. So, you can see here the similarities. KATABA
1:32:20 YAKTUBU. QARA'A. YAQRA'U. KATABA. TAKTUBU. QARA'A. TAQRA'U. This is AKTUBU.
1:32:31 This is AQRA'U. Now, the plural for they write is YAKTUBUN. For they read would be YAQRA'UN.
1:32:43 Can you see the similarities? It's very easy. Don't let it scare you at first. YAQRA'UN.
1:32:53 You see the similarities? This means they read. Now you read, you plural would be TAQRA'UN.
1:33:05 TAQRA'UN.
1:33:10 You can see the similarities and of course the word QURAN...
1:33:19 QURAN is... the root word's from QARA'A means to read. Quran means a book to be read.
1:33:29 This is what Quran means. Let us take another word, for example, to eat means a AKALA
1:33:39 AKALA to read. To eat, excuse me. AKALA. Now, he eats would be YA'KULU.
1:33:54 Do you see the trend? YA'KULU means he eats. This is the root word AKALA or
1:34:04 the past tense he ate. And KATABA is the root word and it is also the past tense
1:34:11 he wrote. QARA'A is the root word meaning to read and also means the past tense he read.
1:34:21 AKALA the root word which means to eat and it is also the past tense that means he ate.
1:34:34 Now, I want you to notice the similarities when the root word is KATABA, he
1:34:40 writes would be YAKTUBU. QARA'A. YAQRA'U. AKALA. YA'KULU and so on.
1:34:57 So, what you need to do is look for the root of the word and find out all you need to do
1:35:04 is find out the meaning of that root word and then from the the context of the sentence you'll
1:35:12 be able to tell what the word is saying. So, now let us go to the next word as far as the
1:35:20 root word AKALA is concerned which means to eat. Now, she eats would be TA'KULU. TA'
1:35:29 excuse me this would be a SUKOON, here. TA'KULU. TA'KULU means she eats or you singular eat.
1:35:42 I eat would be 'AKULU and because of the A'A of two letters, we put a MADDAH
1:35:52 here means 'AKULU. 'AKULU. I eat. Now, they eat would be YA'KULUN. YA'KULUN.
1:36:10 YA'KULUN. Now, you eat you plural would be TA'KULUN. TA'KULUN. You see the similarities here? This is
1:36:25 TAKTUBUN means you plural write. TAQRA'U you read. TA'KULUN you eat. You see the similarity?
1:36:35 TAKTUBUN. TAQRA'UN. TA'KULUN. YAKTUBUN. YAQRA'UN means they read. YA'KULUN means they
1:36:46 eat. YAKTUBUN. YAQRA'UN. YA'KULUN. You can see the similarities here. Now, I write is AKTUBU.
1:36:56 'AQRA'U I read. 'AKULU means I eat. You see the similarity? 'AKTUBU. 'AQRA'U. 'AKULU.
1:37:07 How about another word? HAMADA means to praise will look like this. HAMADA. HAMADA.
1:37:18 Now, he praises would be YAHMADU. There's Ya. There's HA. YAHMADU means he
1:37:30 praises. YAHMADU. You praise or she praises would be TAHAMADU. There's TA, HA, TAHMADU.
1:37:42 I praise would be AHMADU. AHMADU. They praise would be YAHMADUN. YAHMADUN.
1:38:04 YAHMADUN means they praise.
1:38:08 and you means you plural would TAHMADUN. Excuse me
1:38:13 TAH... there's the HA. TAHMADUN. You can see the trend and this is the grammar
1:38:28 of all these words. TAHMADUN. I am going to close by giving you an example of using one
1:38:45 of these words in a sentence and you will get the idea and I urge you to practice by
1:38:51 reading the Quran, writing sentences, learning vocabulary building up your vocabulary and the
1:38:58 best way is to read the Quran and compare the meanings, look at the meanings. So, this
1:39:07 word ALHAMDULILLAH, for example, from HAMADA. ALHAMDULILLAH. You look for the root word
1:39:13 HAMADA which means praise. So, this will tell you that ALHAMDULILLAH means praise be to
1:39:19 God and it will look like this. AL this is the article meaning the. ALHAMDU
1:39:31 or this should be a FAT-HA here. ALHAMDULILLAH.
1:39:43 LILL, there's the SHADDAH. LILLAH. ALHAMDULILLAH. And you can see here the that HAMADA
1:39:49 is the root word from HAMADA means praise. ALHAMDULILLAH.
1:40:02 can be very very easy. The next word I want you to see is what is this LA, put a KASRAH makes
1:40:10 it Li. Another Lam. Now, put the SHADDAH on it. Remember the SHADDAH? The stress with a FAT-HA makes it LLLAH.
1:40:23 LILLAH. LILLAH. Put a Ha and the SUKOON. LILLAH. So, the two words are ALHAMDULILLAH.
1:40:35 ALHAMDULILLAH. You can go now to any Quran in the world, open the first SURA and
1:40:43 you can read, BISMILLAH AL-RAHMAN AL-RAHIM. ALHAMDULILLAH and so on. You can read any Arabic
1:40:50 now, once you have memorized the alphabet and what looks like and the vowels. You know the
1:40:58 alphabet and the vowels. You can write your name. You can write anything you hear, write the sounds.
1:41:07 ALHAMDULILLAH
1:41:15 Now, we will take a reading lesson. Now that you know the alphabet and what it looks like what
1:41:25 every letter looks like at the beginning, the middle and the end of the word, you can read
1:41:31 any Arabic. So, let us read the first SURA in Quran. As you see here, the first letter in the
1:41:41 first verse is Bi. See? This is the letter Bi. You know it by now, with a KASRAH under it. Bi. The next letter
1:41:49 is Seen with this is the SUKOON as written in this book. BIS. And then Meem. Here's Meem with a
1:41:59 KASRAH under it. BISMI. And then Allah there's Alif and then Lam Lam Ha with a KASRAH. BISMI ALLAHI
1:42:12 BISMILLAHI. and then Alif and then Lam and then Ra. Notice that the Ra has a SHADDAH on it
1:42:22 See the SHADDAH? You know all these vowels by now. SHADDAH and then a FAT-HA on it. This makes stress
1:42:28 on the letter Ra because when you read the complete sentence, this Alif and this Lam become silent.
1:42:35 So, you go BISMILLAH-E RAH... there's Ha with the SUKOON on it. Ha and then Meem with a FAT-HA on it. RAHMANI.
1:42:48 There is the Noon. See the Noon with the dot with a KASRAH? Ni. AL-RAHMANI. And the last
1:42:55 word in this verse AL-RAHIM. There's Alif. There's Lam. There's Ra with the SHADDAH and the
1:43:03 FAT-HA so makes it stressed on the Ra. RAHIM. There's Hi. Ha with a KASRAH and then
1:43:11 the extension of the KASRAH which is the Ya with the two dots. See the two dots? HIM. There's the last letter
1:43:19 Meem. Now, this happens to have a KASRAH under it. So, the whole thing pronounces BISMILLAHI AL-RAHMANI AL-RAHIMI.
1:43:31 But if you stop, you don't have to say Mi. Then, you put a SUKOON on top of this letter
1:43:36 and becomes M. BISMILLAHI AL-RAHMANI AL-RAHIM. This is the first verse. There's number one. We didn't study the
1:43:45 numbers yet, but we will do this a little later. So, this is verse number one. Now, we go to verse
1:43:51 number two. First word there's the Alif. There's the Lam. There's a Ha. ALHA... See the FAT-HA for the
1:44:00 Ha is up there. ALHAM... then, Meem with a SUKOON on it. HAM. ALHAMDU... see? This is the Dal with
1:44:09 a DAMMAH on it. See the DAMMAH? ALHAMDU... and then Li. There's a KASRAH under the first Lam here. See the KASRAH?
1:44:19 And then this second Lam has a SHADDAH on it. A stress. And a FAT-HA. LILLAHI. ALHAMDULILLAHI.
1:44:30 The next word is Ra. See the Ra? A beautiful Ra has a FAT-HA. This is what makes it Ra. The next
1:44:38 letter is Ba. See the Ba? Beautiful Ba with a KASRAH under it and the SHADDAH on top of
1:44:46 it. This makes it RABI. RABI. The next word is A and then Lam. AL means the. AL. 'A
1:44:57 See the 'A in the middle of the word? Remember what it looks like? This is what it looks like in a book. 'A with
1:45:03 a FAT-HA on it. 'A. Next letter is Lam. This little deal here means some kind of extension. LA
1:45:13 ALA. This is La with a FAT-HA. La. Then, there's a Meem in the middle of the word. Remember
1:45:19 what it looks like? Meem with a KASRAH under it and then an extension Ya. MINA. This is NA with a FAT-HA on it.
1:45:30 So, let me read the whole thing for you. It say ALHAMDULILLAHI RABI AL-'ALAMINA.
1:45:42 ALHAMDULILLAHI RABI AL-'ALAMIN. If you stop, you don't continue, then you put a SUKOON on the Noon
1:45:48 and you stop there, instead of this FAT-HA. This FAT-HA is in case you continue but this is the
1:45:56 end of a verse and there's the number two right there. See what it looks like? This is the number
1:46:01 the Arabic numeral two because this is the end of verse number two. ALHAMDULILLAHI RABI AL-'ALAMIN.
1:46:09 We will study the meanings a little later. The next verse starts with the word, there's Alif
1:46:17 Lam. AL means the, as you know by now and then Ra. AL-RA. There's the SHADDAH and the FAT-HA. Ra.
1:46:25 And then Ha with a SUKOON on it RAH and then a Meem. There's the Meem with a FAT-HA on it. Ma
1:46:32 and then there is a Noon with a KASRAH under it. RAHMANI. The next word is there's Alif. There's La with a
1:46:41 SHADDAH on it. No, excuse me, the SHADDAH is on the Ra. Here is a Ra with a SHADAH and a FAT-HA. RA
1:46:48 and there is a Ha with a KASRAH that goes with it. There's a Ya to extend the KASRAH makes it HIM
1:46:56 This is the Meem at the end of reading word as you have seen before. AL-RAHMANI AL-RAHIMI. So, when
1:47:05 you read the whole thing together, it sounds AR-RAHMANI RAHIM because you stopped at the end. AR-RAHMANI RAHIM.
1:47:14 This is why you have the SHADDAH on the Ra. This Ra and this Ra and this is the end of
1:47:20 verse number three. See the number three there? Now let us study the meanings of what we read so far. We'll go
1:47:28 to the very beginning. the BISMI. This means in the name of. You will know this at the end of the
1:47:37 lessons. BISMI. In the name of Allah. There's Allah. Alif, Lam, Lam, Ha. Allah. BISMILLAHI mean in the name
1:47:46 of God and then AR-RAHMANI means the gracious and then AL-RAHIM. AR-RAHIM means the merciful.
1:47:58 BISMILLAHI RAHMANI RAHIM. In the name of God, the gracious, the merciful. Then the second verse
1:48:06 ALHAMDULILLAHI RABI AL-'ALAMIN. ALHAMDULILLAHI RABI AL-'ALAMIN.
1:48:17 ALHAMDU means praise. LILLAHI to God. Praise be to God. RABI means Lord. AL-'ALAMIN the universe. ALHAMDULILLAHI RABI AL-'ALAMIN.
1:48:33 Praise be to God, Lord of the universe and this is the end of verse number 2
1:48:40 verse number 3 AR-RAHMAN AR-RAHIM, the gracious, the merciful. This is the same as in the first verse
1:48:54 AR-RAHMANI RAHIM. Now, we move on to the next verse, verse number 4. The first word in verse number 4
1:49:03 is MALIKI. MALEK means king. There is Ma. See the Meem with a FAT-HA on it? MA and then the Lam
1:49:13 in the middle of the word with a KASRAH under it. MALI and then the Kaf. Remember the Kaf with a
1:49:20 KASRAH under it? Makes it Ki. MALIKI. MALIKI. King. And then the next word is Ya. See Ya, how Ya looks in
1:49:32 the beginning of the word? Ya. And then Wow with a SUKOON on it. YAW. YAWMI. There is the Mi with a
1:49:41 KASRAH under it. YAWMI. MALIKI. King YAWMI means day. King of the Day of Judgment. Here's Judgement, AD-DIN.
1:49:54 A. There's Alif. Lam. AL. And there is a Dal with a KASRAH. AL-D... and then the extension. Remember
1:50:02 the extension of the KASRAH? Is the letter Ya with the two dots. AL-DIN. Here's a fancy Noon with
1:50:10 a dot on top and the KASRAH under it makes it Ni. MALIKI YAWMI AL-DINI. So, if you say the whole
1:50:19 thing and stop, then it sounds MALIKI YAWMI DDIN. MALIKI YAWMI AD-DIN. MALIKI YAWMI DDIN.
1:50:31 The Alif and the Lam are very often silent. When you connect, say the, all the words together and
1:50:39 we will notice a little later in in these lessons and this is the end of verse number four. This is
1:50:46 what the number, numeral four looks like. MALIKI YAWMI DDIN. King of the Day of Judgment or Master of
1:50:55 the Day of Judgment. And here comes the next verse. There's an Alif with a KASRAH on it and this
1:51:01 little deal here is the HAMZA. It is not necessary but most people write it anyway. I. The next letter
1:51:10 is Ya with a SHADDAH on it and the FAT-HA. So, IYA. And then there's an Alif which extends
1:51:17 the FAT-HA makes it IYAKA. See the Kaf with a FAT-HA on it? Kaf. IYAKA. And then this is a
1:51:26 Noon at the beginning of the word. There's the one dot and there's a FAT-HA which makes it NA and this
1:51:32 is 'AYN in the middle of the word with the SUKOON. NA'A. And there is Ba with the DAMMAH on it.
1:51:40 See the DAMMAH, beautiful DAMMAH there. NA'ABU... NA'ABUDU. There's the Dal with a DAMMAH. NA'ABUDU. So, this says IYAKA
1:51:49 NA'ABUDU which means only you we worship. NA'ABUDU means we worship. IYAKA NA'ABUDU. Only you
1:52:00 we worship and this Wow. There is a letter Wow with a FAT-HA on it. It means and. This one letter
1:52:08 here represents the word and. Wow. Again, you know this word IYAKA and IYAKA and only you. Now, let
1:52:18 us go to the next word. NASTA'IN. Noon with a FAT-HA. Here's the one dot. There's the Noon with a FAT-HA. They
1:52:30 make it long here to distinguish it from the three teeth of the letter Seen that comes after.
1:52:35 NAS. There's the Seen with a SUKOON. NAS. There is a TA with two dots. TA with a FAT-HA. NASTA...
1:52:44 And there is 'AYN in the middle of the word with a KASRAH under it. NASTA'I... and then the extension
1:52:50 the letter YA. NASTA'IN with a DAMMAH makes it NU. NASTA'INU. But if you stop, then it
1:52:59 becomes NASTA'IN. IYAKA NA'BUDU means only you we worship. IYAKA NA'BUDU only you we worship
1:53:10 Wa. And. IYAKA. only you. NASTA'IN. which means we ask you... we ask for help. And only you we ask for
1:53:22 help. The next verse... this is by the way the numeral number, the numeral five. This is what five looks
1:53:31 like in Arabic. IYAKA NA'BUDU WA IYAKA NASTA'IN is the verse number five in this first
1:53:38 SURA of Quran. The next word... there's an Alif. I and then a Ha. Remember the Ha? This is what it
1:53:47 looks like in books with a SUKOON makes it stop. IH...IHDI... there's a KASRAH under the Dal. IHDI... and there
1:53:56 is NA NOON with a FAT-HA and an extension makes it IHDINA. See how beautiful this is? IHDINA
1:54:06 Guide us. IHDINA means guide us. IHDINA. The next word is AL-SI... there's a Saad with a KASRAH. AL-SIRA...
1:54:17 there's a Ra with a FAT-HA. AL-SIRA... there's little deal here means extend a little bit. It's not exactly
1:54:24 an Alif. AL-SIRATA. There's a Ta with a FAT-HA means the path. AL-SIRATA. IHDINA guide us. AS-SIRATA. Guide us in
1:54:34 the... the path and then this word here is AL-MOSTAQIM. Alif Lam. AL means the. There's a Meem with
1:54:45 a DAMMAH on it. There's a Meem with the DAMMAH. MU. And there is a Seen with a SUKOON. MUS. There is
1:54:53 a Ta with a FAT-HA. Ta. MUSTA. And then there's a Qaf with a KASRAH makes it Qi and the extension
1:55:01 over to this Ya. MUSTAQIM. There's a Meem with a FAT-HA. MUSTAQIMA, but when you stop, it
1:55:08 makes it MUSTAQIM. So, the whole... this is 6. This is the numeral six in Arabic. Looks like the English
1:55:16 seven, doesn't it? This is six, verse 6. Let us go to the beginning of verse 6. It is a IHDINA guide us
1:55:26 AS-SIRATA mean the path. AL-MOSTAQIM means the straight. So, this is my chance to tell you that in Arabic
1:55:37 the adjective comes after the noun. In Arabic, you don't say beautiful rose. You say rose
1:55:45 beautiful. That's the way it is in the Arabic grammar. So, this is why here you find it says IHDINA AS-SIRATA
1:55:54 AL-MOSTAQIM guide us in the path the straight. In English guide us in the straight path. And this is
1:56:02 verse 6 and now we'll move to verse number 7. SIRATA. You know this word by now. There's a Saad
1:56:09 with a KASRAH makes it Si and then a Ra with a FAT-HA or this... there's the FAT-HA with the Ra. SIRA
1:56:20 TA. There's a TA with a FAT-HA. SIRATA. And then it means the path... path. ALLAZINA means those. There's Alif.
1:56:31 There's Lam with a SHADDAH and the FAT-HA. ALLA... The SHADDAH means stress, remember? ALLA... there's a
1:56:39 Zal with a KASRAH. ALLAZI... and the extension for the KASRAH is this letter Ya with the two
1:56:46 dots. ALLAZINA. See the beautiful Noon with one dot and the FAT-HA? ALLAZINA.... SIRATA ALLAZINA means
1:56:55 path of those. The next word is AN'AMTA means you blessed. The path of those whom You blessed is
1:57:05 AN'AMTA. The letter Alif with a FAT-HA. This is the HAMZA. A. And then there is the Noon, the one
1:57:15 dot and the SUKOON in this book is written in this way, an open little circle that is open on
1:57:21 the left side. AN'A. There 'A with a FAT-HA. There's the 'A. AN'A... there's the Meem with the SUKOON. AN'AMTA.
1:57:33 There's the Ta with the FAT-HA on it. In order to follow me perfectly, you have to know the Arabic
1:57:39 alphabet by heart. You must know it very well. If you don't, please go back to the beginning of the
1:57:46 tape and study the alphabet. This is very easy for people who had memorized the alphabet
1:57:53 AN'AMTA means blessed... You blessed. The next word is 'A, see the beautiful 'A at the beginning of the word
1:58:02 with the FAT-HA? This is why it is 'A. There's a FAT-HA. Next, there is a Lam with a FAT-HA which makes
1:58:08 ALA. ALA. This is the letter Ya with the two dots for the SUKOON makes it ALAY... ALAY...
1:58:16 And this is the letter Ha. I showed you that this is one of the ways of writing it and a KASRAH. ALAHIM.
1:58:23 There's a Meem with a SUKOON. ALAYHIM means on them. You shower Your blessings on them You blessed
1:58:32 So, from the beginning, it is SIRATA the path. ALAZINA of those. AN'AMTA blessed. ALAYHIM
1:58:44 whom you blessed. ALAYHIM means on them. Your blessings are on them and then the next word is Gha, remember
1:58:52 this funny letter? GH like the French R. GH with a FAT-HA. GH and then there is a letter YA with
1:59:00 the two dots and the SUKOON. GHAY. Then, the letter Ra with a KASRAH makes it Ri. GHAYRI. GHAYRI means
1:59:10 other than or not. AL-MAGHDHUB. MAGHDHUB means people who have incurred anger from God or wrath, the
1:59:22 wrath of God. So, GHAYRI means not those. AL means Alif Lam. The Alif Lam is AL. the. There
1:59:33 is a Meem with a FAT-HA. MA. And there is a GHAIN again. This is GHAIN in the beginning of... in
1:59:39 the middle of the word. This is the GHAIN at the beginning of the word and this is another GHAIN
1:59:44 at the... in the middle with a SUKOON. So, it makes AL-MAGH... AL-MAGHDHU... there is a DHU because there's
1:59:52 a DAMMAH here on top of the letter DAAD. MAGHDHUB. And there's the extension. This is the extension
2:00:00 for the DAMMAH. GHAYRI-L MAGHDHUB makes it long. ...DHUBI... there's a B. Letter BA with KASRAH under it.
2:00:08 MAGHDHUBI. GHAYRI AL-MAGHDUBI. Not the ones who who have incurred God's anger. MAGHDHUBI means they have
2:00:20 anger on them. MAGHDHUB. ALAYHIM on them. There's the word ALAYHIM on them. They have incurred
2:00:28 God's anger. ALAYHIM means on them. There's the 'A with a FAT-HA. 'A. Then Lam with a FAT-HA
2:00:36 means LA. 'ALA. And then there is the letter Ya with the SUKOON means 'ALAY... and then
2:00:44 there's the letter Ha with a KASRAH. Hi. 'ALAYHIM. There's another, you know, I went through it before .
