Can Islamic Books Help You Learn Arabic?
For a number of people, learning a new language is often times very difficult. Arabic in itself is a very difficult language to learn, and even harder for English speakers, as the sounds and script is completely different from English. Muslims today are seeking to learn the language of their Prophet Muhammad to better understand the meanings and teachings of the Quran. Although numerous courses and classes are offered at various Universities in USA and UK, a number of people prefer to learn in the comfort of their own home. For this purpose, a series of Islamic books by Dr. Imran Hamza Alawiye called “Gateway to Arabic” is very helpful.
These Islamic books are written as a structured course that teaches its students the basics of Arabic for non Arabic speakers in a very easy to comprehend way. It leads the student through a series of vocabulary, grammar and written lessons so that they can gain command over the language. This series of Islamic books is composed in a manner which is appropriate for all age groups, which is one of the main reasons that it is very popular at Sunday schools across the USA and UK. In addition, many adults also use these books to learn the basic vocabulary and grammar of Arabic.
Gateway to Arabic Islamic books consists of 7 books that teach the fundamentals of the Arabic language and an additional 2 books that develop the written skills of the student. These Islamic books are also available on CD for people struggling with the proper pronunciation of the words. These books on CD also assist the visually impaired and help them to become skilled at the language that Allah has delivered His divine message in.
The author of Gateway to Arabic series has written other books that are more advanced in nature and target people with existing knowledge of Arabic. These Islamic books in addition to the series are easily available at a number of retail and online stores throughout the Western world so that native English speakers can reap the benefits and become bilingual in Arabic. Dr. Imran Hamza Alawiye is a great Arabic scholar who graduated from the University of Medina in Saudi Arabia in Arabic with a PhD from the University of London. He has targeted his work at teaching Arabic to all age groups in non Arabic speaking countries.
With the inclination to learn Arabic increasing today, it is great to have such a wonderful series from a scholar in the field. These books and CD’s can be read at home or at certain Islamic institutions as well.
