Designed as a foundation for students wishing to pursue further studies in Islamic disciplines — or simply to gain proficiency in classical Arabic — this programme focuses on the language of the Qur’an and the classical scholarly tradition, rather than the Modern Standard Arabic used in contemporary contexts. No prior knowledge of Arabic is required.

Through systematic study of grammar (naḥw and ṣarf), vocabulary, reading, and comprehension, students develop the core skills needed to access primary sources and engage independently with the classical Islamic heritage.

The complete course is divided into three parts, each comprising 12 sessions held twice per week.

Part 1 — Reading, Writing & Morphology. An introduction to Arabic script and word patterns, exploring how Arabic words are formed and change.

Part 2 — Syntax & Listening – Reading. A focus on correct sentence construction alongside the development of listening and reading skills.

Part 3 — Qur’anic Reading & Analytical Grammar. Applied reading of Qur’anic texts with deeper engagement in grammatical analysis.
