Level 1 · Beginner: Quranic Arabic grammar for Namaz

The aim of the first level is simple: understand what you say in every prayer.

• The three kinds of words: ism (noun), fe’il (verb) and harf (particle). See Quranic Arabic grammar basics.
• The definite article al- and tanwīn
• Masculine and feminine; singular, dual and plural
• The three cases and their endings (-u, -a, -i), called iʿrāb
• Prepositions and why the noun after them ends in -i
• The possessive construction (iḍāfa): بِسْمِ اللَّهِ، رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
• Attached and detached pronouns: إِيَّاكَ، رَبُّنَا
• Applied to every phrase of Namaz and to Surah al-Fatiha, word by word

Level 2 · Intermediate: understanding the Qur’an directly

• Nominal and verbal sentences: subject, predicate, doer and object
• Past, present and command verbs, and how prefixes and suffixes show the doer
• The root system: how a three-letter root builds families of words
• Common particles that change the meaning of a sentence
• Reading short sūrahs with the grammar in view, so the meaning comes from the Arabic itself

Level 3 · Advanced: deeper command of Quranic structure

• Verb patterns (forms) and what each adds to the meaning
• Word order for emphasis, as in إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ (“You alone we worship”)
• Longer passages, vocabulary in context and reading translations critically
• Using tools such as a word-by-word grammar corpus on your own
