Product Description
Product Description
Written by Prof Alan Jones, professor of Arabic at Oxford University, this work aims at teaching Arabic using only the vocabulary in the Qur'an. In forty lessons and starting with the alphabet, 'Arabic Through the Qur'an' covers the whole of Arabic grammar. Each lesson is followed by exercises and a key to the exercises is available at the end of the book. 'Arabic Through the Qur'an' gives the student a thorough understanding of Arabic grammar and a substantial vocabulary from the Qur'an including many of the often repeated verses. 'Arabic Through the Qur'an' is an indispensable aid both to those wanting to learn Arabic in order to be able to read the Qur'an and to Arabic students at university level.

If you want to learn the Arabic of the Qur'an I strongly recommend this book. It's intelligent, thorough, serious-minded, lucid, and a joy to use. Explanations of grammar are extremely clear. The layout and print quality are really excellent, the translation exercises give plenty of practice and all answers to the exercises are provided at the back of the book, which is brilliant if you are working on your own and don't have a teacher to ask.

A good introduction but the author assumes you know a little bit about the language. Not for a complete beginner. Good examples with transliterations. Could do with more meaning and explanation of grammar terms in the use of another language..

This is a beautifully printed book and a joy to look at. The arabic script is clear and easy to read and fully vocalised. Other well known books on literary or classical Arabic have either got miniscule vocalised script (Cowie) or clearly printed but unvocalsied script (Thackston). My view is that Arabic has such a complex grammar that the beginner needs all the help he or she can get and clear vocalised script is a must.
The grammar is clearly presented, and I can't understand the carping of another reviewer about the reliance on English grammar. It seems to me common sense to explain the unknown by the known, in this case Arabic grammar by reference to English, and to use English grammatical terms.
(Hands up those who know what 'noun', 'verb','pronoun' etc mean.
Well done.
Now, hands up those who can name the equivalent Arabic terms .....)
