CURRENT COURSES IN SESSION

ARB201 - Qur'anic Arabic: Level 1A, Semester 1 - Starting January 6


Instructor:  Shaykh Dr. Abu Sumayya

Course Description:

Unlock Your Potential to Understand the Qur’an
Join our 6-level structured program, based on the Fawakih Institute curriculum. Students typically complete Level 1 within one year. Classes run in three semesters, each consisting of 14 sessions, providing a gradual and structured approach to building Qur’anic Arabic skills while reinforcing reading, grammar, and vocabulary.

Level 1 of the Fawakih Qur’anic Arabic curriculum is a beginner track designed to give students a strong foundation in reading, understanding, and analyzing Qur’anic texts. It introduces basic grammar and morphology, including simple verb conjugations, noun structures, and sentence patterns, while building core Qur’anic vocabulary. Students practice reading short surahs, duʿā, and classical texts, with exercises in comprehension, listening, and writing. The level is structured in stages (1A, 1B, 1C) that gradually consolidate skills, preparing learners to progress to more advanced grammar, text analysis, and Qur’anic fluency in Level 2.
