LESSON 01 - الدَّرْسُ الأوَّلُ
This is /hadha/ هَـٰذَا
03 - 1 Ma Hadha?
مَا هَـٰذَا؟
What is This?
We have learnt how to say 'This is' using the phrase /hādhā/. Now, we will learn how to say 'What is this?' to ask a question followed by the answers to the questions In-Shā’-Allâh (God-willing).
In this part of lesson 1 we will learn the phraseمَا هَـٰذَا؟ which means "What's this". We shall then answer the questions with the phrase we learnt in the earlier parts, i.e. /hādhā/ هَـٰذَا.
We will also learn the phrase أَهَـٰذَا.....؟ which means "Is this...?", for example أَهَـٰذَا بَيْتٌ؟ which means "Is this a house?”.
In addition, we will learn the words for Yes and No in Arabic to answer these questions. The word for Yes in Arabic is نَعَمْ, and the word for No in Arabic is لا.
As we have already learnt, the Arabic script is read from right to left, please read the sentences below from right to left.

Please read the sentences below. After completing the sentences we shall go over the rules for this lesson.
In Part 1 of Lesson 1 we learn how to use the pronoun هَـٰذَا which means 'This' (called the demonstrative pronoun in grammar). /Hādhā/ is pronounced هَاذَا but is written without the first /alif/. The second word is the noun (object) being referred to, e.g.: بَيْتٌ means house.

Arabic has no word which is equal to the English word "is" which is referred to as a “copula” in grammar. We can see this rule demonstrated above where we see the words for هَـٰذَا and the noun/predicate مَسْجِدٌ being referred to without any copula. i.e. هَـٰذَا مَسْجِدٌ If read literally this sentence would read "This a mosque", however, the word "is" can be implied in this sentence so that it reads "This is a mosque".
There is no word in Arabic corresponding to "a" in English as in: "This is a book". The n-sound, i.e. the /tanwīn/ (doubled vowel sign) at the end of the Arabic noun (kitābu-n, baitu-n, masĴidu-n) is the Arabic indefinite article corresponding to the English "a/an".

Lesson 01-02 Notes
Notes on Lesson 01
There are three short vowels in the Arabic language. Unlike vowels in English, they are indicated by strokes:
Fathah, َ
Dhommah
Kasrah ِ
As mentioned earlier, indefinite nominals ends with nunation, تَنْوِيْنٌ ( tanwin) i.e either with
ً ( double Fathah ) or with
ٌ ( double Dhommah ) or with
ٍ ( double Kasrah ).
There are three consonants ا,و,ي which are described by the Arabic Grammarians as حروف العلة( huruf al-‘ilah ), weak or irregular letters.
They are used for lengthening the vowels. When they are used as lengtheners, they do not admit any vowel sign.
These three letters are often interchanged or dropped under the influence of other letters.
In Arabic orthography, there is no distinction between a proper noun and a noun, whereas in English proper nouns are written with the first letter capitalized. Proper nouns in Arabic are known by convention.
Most of the Arabic words in the Al-Quran ( about 95% ), called indeclinable , مَبْنِيٌّ )mabniyyun ), remain static or stationary in their original form under all the varied conditions. These include the following :
Personal pronouns
Possessive pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns
Relative pronouns
However, some words ( about 5% ) are declinable, مُعْرَبٌ
(mu’rabun). The Arabic nominals changes its original form or the case ending under different grammatical conditions ( which are explained later ) :
It can either be in the nominative case, مرفوع ( marfu’ ), the accusative case , منصوب ( mansub ) or the genitive case, مجرور
(majrur) .
a) nominative case, مرفوع ( marfu’ ) هُوَ وَلَدٌ huwa waladun He is a boy.
b) accusative case , منصوب ( mansub ) مَدَحَ وَلَدًا madaha waladan He praised a boy.
c) genitive case,مجرور ( majrur ) خَرَجَ مَعَ وَلَدٍ kharaja ma’a waladin He went out with a boy.
The literal meaning of the words remains the same in all the different conditions, however, their function in a sentence changes according to the different grammatical considerations.
In modern English, nominative and accusative cases are called as subjective and objective cases.

Definite Article – اَلْ
Introduction - مُقَدِّمَةٌ
In this lesson we will learn about the definite article الْ which corresponds to the word 'The' in the English Language (known as the definite article in grammar as it refers to a specific object).
Take particular note of the change in the vowel ending when a word is changed to its definite form, i.e. the /tanwīn/ (double vowel) which represents indefinite form e.g. (a house) has been changed to a single /đammah/. It is hence also important to remember that a word can never take /alif lām/ at the beginning and /tanwīn/ at the same time (i.e. it can never be both indefinite and definite at the same time).
Remember to always start reading the examples below from right to left. The first example below will illustrate the change from indefinite form (e.g. a house) to definite form (e.g. the house).

Lesson 01 Notes 1
Notes
There are no capital and small letters in Arabic: words that start a sentence are written the same as words in the
middle of a sentence, and no distinction is made for the names of people or places.
The Arabic alphabet is cursive: there’s essentially no difference between the way it is written by hand and the way
it is printed.
Since the letters are almost all joined together (there are just a few that aren’t), they take different forms depending
on where they appear in a word.
While this sounds complicated, each letter has a basic (stand alone) form that is modified slightly to make it join the
letters around it.

Lesson 01-02 Notes
There are three short vowels in the Arabic language. Unlike vowels in English, they are indicated by strokes:
Fathah, Dhammah & Kasrah ِ
As mentioned earlier, indefinite nominals ends with nunation, تَنْوِيْنٌ ( tanwin) i.e either with
ً ( double Fathah ) or with
ٌ ( double Dhammah ) or with
ٍ ( double Kasrah ).
There are three consonants ا,و,ي which are described by the Arabic Grammarians as حروف العلة( huruf al-‘ilah ), weak or irregular letters.
They are used for lengthening the vowels. When they are used as lengtheners, they do not admit any vowel sign.
These three letters are often interchanged or dropped under the influence of other letters In sha Allah we will explain it later.
In Arabic orthography, there is no distinction between a proper noun and a noun, whereas in English proper nouns are written with the first letter capitalized. Proper nouns in Arabic are known by convention.
Most of the Arabic words in the Al-Quran ( about 95% ), called indeclinable , مَبْنِيٌّ (mabniyyun), remain static or stationary in their original form under all the varied conditions. These include the following :
Personal pronouns
Possessive pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns
Relative pronouns
However, some words ( about 5% ) are declinable, مُعْرَبٌ (mu’rabun). The Arabic nominals changes its original form or the case ending under different grammatical conditions (which are explained later) :
It can either be in the Nominative case, مرفوع ( marfu), the Accusative case , منصوب ( mansub ) or the Genitive case, مجرور
(majrur) .
a) Nominative case, مرفوع ( marfu’ ) هُوَ وَلَدٌ huwa waladun (He is a boy)
b) Accusative case , منصوب ( mansub ) مَدَحَ وَلَدًا madaha waladan (He praised a boy)
c) Genitive case,مجرور ( majrur ) خَرَجَ مَعَ وَلَدٍ kharaja ma’a waladin (He went out with a boy)
The literal meaning of the words remains the same in all the different conditions, however, their function in a sentence changes according to the different grammatical considerations.
In modern English, nominative and accusative cases are called as subjective and objective cases.

LESSON 01 - الدَّرْسُ الأوَّلُ
This is /hadha/ هَـٰذَا
01-1A-Introduction
Please read the sentences below. After completing the sentences we shall go over the rules for this lesson.
In Part 1 of Lesson 1 we will learn how to use the pronoun هَـٰذَا/Hadha which means 'This' (called the demonstrative pronoun in grammar).
Hādhā/ is pronounced هَاذَا but is written without the first /alif/. The second word is the noun (object) being referred to, e.g.: بَيْتٌ /baitun means house.
هَـٰذَا بَيْتٌ
Hadha Baitun
This is a house
هَـٰذَا مَسْجِدٌ
Hadha Masjidun
This is a mosque
هَـٰذَا بَابٌ
Hadha Babun

هَـٰذَا سَرِيرٌ
Hadha sareerun

هَـٰذَا كُرْسِىٌّ
Hadha Kursiun
This is a chair
Arabic has no word which is equal to the English word "is" which is referred to as a “copula” in grammar. We can see this rule demonstrated above where we see the words for هَـٰذَا and the noun/predicate مَسْجِدٌ being referred to without any copula. i.e. هَـٰذَا مَسْجِدٌ If read literally this sentence would read "This a mosque", however, the word "is" can be implied in this sentence so that it reads "This is a mosque".
There is no word in Arabic corresponding to "a" in English as in: "This is a book". The n-sound, i.e. the /tanwīn/ (doubled vowel sign) at the end of the Arabic noun (kitābu-n, baitu-n, masĴidu-n) is the Arabic indefinite article corresponding to the English "a/an".

Arabic Vowel Marks
ARABIC VOWELS
There are 2 types of Vowels in Arabic
1- Short Vowels
2- Long Vowels
Short Vowel have 2 types
The Single Vowel and the The Double Vowel:
ARABIC SHORT VOWEL- OVERVIEW
In Arabic, there are 3 short vowels. We shall learn the long vowels in a later lesson In-Shā’-Allâh (God willing). The short vowel-marks enable the letter to make a sound in a similar way to the English language. In the same way a word cannot be made in the English language without one of the 5 vowels (a, e, i, o or u), in Arabic one cannot make a word without a vowel being used.
We will cover the 3 short vowels in Arabic below In-Shā’-Allâh (God willing). The vowels are the marks below or above the letter /Dāl/ in the examples below. The letter / Dāl/ has been used to give you an idea of where the vowel is placed.
The Single Vowels:
The single vowels are the basic vowel-marks which add a sound similar to that of a, i or u in the English language to the letter.
The Double Vowels:
The double vowel-marks signs are an extension of the single vowel-marks. The double vowel signs add the '-n' sound to the single vowel. Please see the letters below. The /Dāl/ has been used to enable us to see the position of the double vowel sign which is called /tanwīn/. /Tanwīn/ refers to the double form of any vowel, the specific name of the double vowel sign e.g.: double Fatħah/ (Fatħatān) is also given below as this is unique for each vowel.
01 - SINGLE & DOUBLE VOWELS
For your kind information the vowels will change the entire meaning of the words and sentence so be careful about it and you must practice it while Learning Arabic Grammar
For example:
Kitab/كِتَابْ means book and while in grammar we say
Kitabun/كِتَابٌ (with two damma) means a book,
Kataba/كَتَبَ means Wrote
Kitabi/ كِتَابِى means my book
Kitabuka/كِتاَبُكَ means your book for male
Kitabuki/ Kitabuki means your book f8or female.
Al-kitabu/ الْكِتَابُ means The Book

02 - SHORT VOWEL - FATĦAH
In the following 3 lessons, we will learn the Short vowel-marks pronunciation In-Shā’-Allâh (God willing). This lesson will also help us to revise the letters we have already learnt in the previous lessons. The /Fatħah/ is the short diagonal stroke above the letter.
03 - SHORT VOWEL - KASRA
The /Kasrah/ is the short diagonal stroke below the letters.
04 - SHORT VOWEL – DAMMAH
The /Đammah/ is the letter which is similar in shape to the Arabic character /wāw/ which we learnt earlier. It is placed above the letter.
05 - SHORT VOWEL – FATĦATAIN (DOUBLE FATHA)
In the following 3 lessons, we will learn the doubled forms of the three vowel-marks, In-Shā’-Allâh(God-Willing). These differ in pronunciation from the normal vowel-marks in that there is an added '-n' sound e.g. whilst the /Fatħah/ makes the 'a' sound, the Fatħatain makes the 'an' sound.
Unlike the /Kasratain/ and the /Ðammatain/, the /Fatħatain/ has to be followed by Alif in the Arabic writing. Therefore we connect an /Alif/ after each of the letters below when it is signed with /Fatħatain/, as in the following table:
06 - SHORT VOWEL - KASRATAIN (DOUBLE KASRA)
In this lesson we will cover the /Kasratain/ which makes the 'in' sound In-Shā’-Allâh (God willing). The /Kasratain/ is represented by two /Kasrahs/ below the letter.
07 - SHORT VOWEL - ĐAMMATAIN (DOUBLE DAMMAH)
In this lesson we will cover the /Đammatain/ which makes the 'un' sound. The /Đammatain/ is represented by a /Đammah/ with a slight inward 'tail' and is written above the letter.
08 - THE LONG VOWEL - ALIF AL-MADD
In the following 3 lessons, we shall cover the long vowel In-Shā’-Allâh (God willing). The long vowel-marks are basically a combination of:
The single vowel.
A letter used to lengthen the sound of the vowel.
The /Alif al-madd/ is the long vowel lengthening the sound of the /Fatħah/ from 'a' into 'aa'. We have not covered the joining of letters yet, so just read the letters lengthening the sound.
We shall cover the way the letters change shape when joining in a later lesson In-Shā’-Allâh (God wiling).
09 - THE LONG VOWEL - YAA’ AL-MADD
Yaa al-Madd/ is the long vowel lengthening the sound of the /Kasrah/ from 'i' into 'ee'. We have not covered the joining of letters yet, so just read the letters lengthening the sound, and we shall cover the way the letters change shape when joining in a later lesson In-Shā’-Allâh (God wiling).
10 - THE LONG VOWEL - WAAW AL-MADD
Waaw al-Madd/ is the long vowel lengthening the sound
of the /Đammah/ from 'u' into 'oo'. We have not covered
the joining of letters yet, so just read the letter lengthening the sound, and
we shall cover the way the letters change shape when joining in a later lesson
In-Shā’-Allâh (God wiling).
11 - THE LONG VOWEL - SUKUUN AND SHADDAH
In this lesson we will cover one more diacritical mark (i.e. a mark added to a letter to indicate a special pronunciation) in the Arabic language called the /Sukūn/ In-Shā’-Allâh (God wiling). The /Sukūn/ is in the shape of a circle and is written above a letter to show that there is no vowel on the letter. Hence, we emphasise the letter by stopping in our pronunciation of it. This will require us to join letters. Although we have not covered the rules relating to joining of letters (covered in a later lesson). We will use simple words to demonstrate the usage of the /Sukūn/.
This is a good opportunity for you to learn how
to read basic Arabic words. Please don't worry if you find it difficult to read
the words by putting the letters together. We will go over reading words in
more detail later In-Shā’-Allâh (God wiling). At this stage focus on the
principle of the /Sukūn/ and try your best to read the words.
We will now
cover the /Shaddah/ In-Shā’-Allâh (God wiling). The /Shaddah/ is
a diacritical mark written above a letter to show that the letter has been
doubled and therefore increases in emphasis. Once again, please don't worry if
you find joining the letters and vowel-marks or reading difficult. Try your
best to join the sounds and letters at this stage and pay attention to the
sound of the letter which has the /Shaddah/ on it.

Learn Arabic Alphabets
The Arabic alphabet consists of 28 letters, reading from right to left.
Arabic doesn't have a case distinction. There are no upper case or lower case letters .
When combined into words, most letters connect with one another, using slight modifications to the basic letter forms
The letters are all consonants, but three of them also represent long vowels.
In addition to the letters mentioned above, there are three short vowels, which are added as small marks above or below the consonants. There are also other marks, signifying things like "silent vowel", "doubling of the consonant" etc.
In Sha Allāh you will Learn it in details in future.

The 3 short vowels in Arabic, called Fatha, Damma and Kasra.
They are written above or below the consonants they follow..
Arabic is mostly written using only consonants, i.e. the short vowels are not added.
So, when a text doesn't have short vowels, how will the reader know how to read it?
They are written above or below the consonants they follow..
Arabic is mostly written using only consonants, i.e. the short vowels are not added.
So, when a text doesn't have short vowels, how will the reader know how to read it?
Arabic grammar is tightly structured, and words are built according to set formulas. This enables the reader to know where the short vowels should be, and with some practice it becomes second nature.

How many letters in the Arabic alphabet 28 or 29 (is hamza considered)?
There are 28 letters in the Arabic alphabet. Hamza (ء) is not considered a letter of the alphabet, although it does have an alphabetic order. In alphabetic order, hamza (ء) comes first. The order of the alphabet is called the hijā’ī sequence, which is like this (from right to left):
ا ب ت ث ج ح خ د ذ ر ز س ش ص ض ط ظ ع غ ف ق ك ل م ن هـ و ي
There is another alphabetic order called the abjadi sequence. It is an older one and it goes like this:
ا ب ج د هـ و ز ح ط ي ك ل م ن س ع ف ص ق ر ش ت ث خ ذ ض ظ غ
