Our Program
Our program follows the Madinah Books developed by Dr. V. Abdur Rahim, an eminent teacher and linguist, primarily known for his expertise in Arabic language acquisition. The books are widely recognized and utilized by students and educators worldwide for their comprehensive approach to teaching Arabic to non-native speakers.
The Madinah Books are structured to guide learners through various levels of proficiency, starting from the basics of Arabic grammar and gradually progressing to more advanced concepts. Each book in the series focuses on different aspects of language learning, including vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and writing skills.
One of the distinctive features of the Madinah Books is their emphasis on classical Arabic, which is the form of Arabic used in the Quran and classical Islamic texts. This approach enables students to not only develop practical communication skills but also understand the scholars, and eventually gain a deeper understanding of traditional Arabic literature and religious texts themselves.
