For the students who have studied IQRA' Arabic Reader series, this volume provides a natural transition to a formal introduction to Arabic grammar. Generally speaking, the language of this book is simple and the rules of grammar are gradually explained in a lucid language and explained the rules of Arabic grammar for junior and senior level students as well as for adults. Each lesson is well planned, explaining one simple rule of grammar and providing explanation for the rules, examples, new vocabulary and various exercises that both youngsters and adults can understand without much difficulty. Though this is not a book self-teaching, students who have acquired certain level of proficiency in Arabic can use it as a reference grammar book in conjunction with a higher level course in Arabic language. However, the usage of this book can yield best results if used with the help of and under the supervision of an instructor of Arabic language. Thoroughly revised and expanded by IQRA' expert on Arabic language, Fadel Abdallah, this edition contains a more thorough and systemic covering of the topics than the original edition. Few more topics were added, the arrangement of the topics were modified to make the presentation more cohesive and logical. The many out of context phrases and structures were modified and used in more meaningful full contexts. This is grammar manual textbook, written and field tested by two South African professors of Arabic. And the aspects of South African regionalism found in the first edition were discarded in favor of more universal themes.
