Overview:
- An Arabic reading comprehension programme for beginner-intermediate students progressively reading through Shaykh Abu-l Hasan Ali an-Nadwi's Arabic language books for beginners, starting with Qisas an-Nabiyyin (Stories of the Prophets). Qisas an-Nabiyyin begins with basic sentences and becomes progressively harder, building the student's capacity along the way. Upon completion, we hope to progress on to other books by the same author, e.g. Al-Qira'ah ar-Rashida and Sirah Khatam an-Nabiyyin, and eventually other works by different authors.

Objectives:
- Vocab/phrase acquisition & application of grammar/morphology rules
- Build students' ability to independently read and understand Arabic literature (especially the Qur'an)
- Create a community of keen Arabists who support one another through their journeys
Programme elements:
- Weekly online lessons (& lesson recordings)
- Office hours for additional support (including office hours for females only led by female teachers)
- A discussion group on Telegram (a messaging app similar to WhatsApp)
- Programme delivered by Tahseen Hamid
Timings/schedule:
- Weekly lessons on Tuesdays 8pm-9pm UK time (GMT/BST) starting 06/10/2020 (new students are still welcome to join and catch up on missed weeks via recordings; now is a particularly good time for new students to join, as we are on a break until 1st of June 2021 which provides a good window in which new students can catch up).
- Students unable to attend lessons live are still encouraged to enrol as all students will have access to lesson recordings, office hours, and the discussion group
- The programme will be delivered in sets of 11 weeks with 2-week breaks in between. This registration process is for an initial commitment to the first 52 weeks (1 year) of the programme. For a detailed schedule with all dates, click here
- Timings may vary slightly to accommodate prayer times. Unforeseen circumstances may also mean that some sessions are postponed, or we may collectively agree on some adjustments (e.g. we've had a longer break for Ramadan).
- Update: For Term 3 of our programme (01/06/2021 - 10/08/2021), office hours will be fixed on Sundays 7pm-8pm and will include a 30-40m segment on rules (e.g. grammar) that students must attend or catch up on via recordings.
Audience/requirements/expectations:
- Open to males & females
- Most suitable for beginners/intermediates who have studied some basic Arabic before
- However, first-time students who are especially motivated and hard-working can still benefit significantly from the programme
- Students get out what they put in. However, we will progress at the pace of a good student who has studied some basic Arabic before and who puts in an average of approximately 20-30 minutes of daily review and preparation a day in between lessons.
Costs & deadline:
- £11/month (other payment options available)
- You can still register for the programme. New students can catch up on missed weeks via recordings.

Can you read Arabic (without understanding)?*
Even if you can only do so with vowels (harakat/tashkil) and even if you don't think you're very proficient
- Yes, I can read Arabic
- No, I can't read Arabic at all
Unfortunately, this programme is not suitable for students who can't yet read Arabic as we'll be assuming some familiarity with the Arabic alphabet and script right from the start. Would you still like to take part?*
If you do go ahead, please be aware that you'll be significantly behind other students. You'll have to put in a lot of effort to learn the Arabic script in your own time and as soon as possible.
- Yes, I'd still like to take part
- No, maybe next time
Is this your first time studying Arabic (beyond learning how to read and write)?*
- Yes, it's my first time
- No, I've done some Arabic before
Where and what have you studied in the past?*
A brief outline will do if you're pressed for time, but the more detail you can give, the better e.g. dates, grades, books, syllabus, teachers, institutes, etc.
