Welcome & Programme


Welcome to the new Arabic Language teaching resource of our
Shaykh Dr. V. Abdur Rahim – an outstanding Scholar of Arabic Language and Literature and renowned for teaching Arabic to non-native speakers of Arabic for more than 50 years. The Shaykh was formerly Professor of Arabic Language for 30 years at the International Islaamic University of Madinah , and then Director of the Institute of Teaching Arabic as a Foreign Language, Madinah Islaamic University. Currently, our Shaykh is the Director of the Translation Centre at the King Fahd Glorious Qur’aan Printing Complex and has been serving as its Director for over 15 years (may Allaah preserve him and benefit us with his knowledge).

The respected Shaykh is teaching the Sciences of Arabic to students and teachers through five programmes:

1. Lessons in the Glorious Qur’aan
2. Lessons in Hadiith
3. Lessons in Arabic Poetry
4. Lessons in Arabic Grammar
5. Lessons in the Arabic Language
Lessons are launched and continue in their respective programmes located on the menu-bar.

We are also accepting questions on any of the Sciences of Arabic, answered by the Shaykh in Q & A.

Alongside the on-line lessons, we recommend you continue learning the Arabic Sciences from our Shaykh’s post-graduate books and courses. These are prepared for those who have graduated from the Madinah Arabic Course, or attained proficiency in Arabic equivalent to it. These develop the student’s understanding to very advanced levels bi-idhni llaah. They teach intricate aspects of Grammar and Sarf and build on what the student has already learnt with the Shaykh. They also prepare students for other classical works. The post-Madinah Course materials teach Arabic through carefully selected sacred texts of the Qur’aan and ‘aHaadiith. Please see the list of books and courses in the section About Our Shaykh . And for more information please see our (updated) guide in the new section: Library.

Benefit from our free Arabic Language course for non-native speakers of Arabic, advanced Qur’aanic Arabic courses, audio and visual resources etc, and the complete 2-year Arabic Language and Islaamic Studies Curriculum as taught at the Islaamic University, Madinah. All materials are authored and compiled by the Shaykh and offered in our newly launched sections:
Library and Book Fair.
We hope you benefit from and enjoy, the knowledge and expertise of our Shaykh on your journey to mastering Arabic in shaa’ Allaah.
