We at Lisaan Arabi value your commitment to learning Quran. It's for this reason that we offer a number of different courses, across subject areas such as reading,writing, and understanding Arabic.
The program is structured in a way to overcome the traditional Arabic classes offered in the Masajid that lasts only a month or so before getting buried through the absence of clear objectives & the lack of commitment.While studying the Arabic language oversees or in a full time Arabic institute is a very enriching experience, it is very difficult for most people in our community to relocate to study the language. From this aspect, we thought about providing a high quality, structured program to accommodate the individuals in the community that have busy schedule, working or studying fulltime beside the other responsibilities.
The program which emphasizes on Classical Arabic is designed to take students with no more than basic recognition of the Arabic alphabet and turn them into being able to independently read and comprehend classical Islamic texts. In a systematic manner, the program quickly moves through the essentials of both Arabic Grammar and Morphology required in order to decipher the manuals. Carefully chosen texts in various Islamic disciplines are introduced gradually into the program to maximize the deciphering capabilities of students.
We ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’Alaa to make this project a sincere effort for His sake & a beneficial program to help all of us to have a better understanding the Qur’an & Islamic sciences, as there is no doubt among scholars that learning Arabic is the key to achieve a better understanding of our religion.
