Thank you so much for the link. Actually, Sister Shahneen shared the website
with me just a few days ago too. I love the poetry section, it is like a
weekly dose of Madinah books’ revision, with a beauty and a moral behind
every verse. I will Insha Allah keep visiting it frequently to see the
updates.
I am enjoying thoroughly the Selected Verses from the Glorious Quran DVDs as
well.
Thank you very much for your email. Jazak-Allah Khairan.

Jazaakaallahu Khairan for forwarding the URL of your new blog to me! I
really liked the analysis of all the verses and what I like the best is that
you have added the grammatical analysis of lines of poetry too! And they are
full of wisdom to reflect upon! May ALLAH grant you more Tawfeeq to help the
Ummah learn Arabic and enjoy it, and to help us all understand the Qur’an.
I will await reading more poems and verses’ analyses as you post them insha
ALLAH.
I also forwarded the URL to Sister Zara, from Maldives.
Congratulations and Jazaakumullaahu khair dear Shaykh, for this beautiful and highly beneficial blogsite. Mashaa Allaah, what a wonderful idea! And the design and layout are very tastefully presented, simple yet slick.
I also really like your method of teaching – small and delightful doses of knowledge, yet so awesome in content, explained in a way that is very easy to understand and a pleasure to study and reflect on, Alhamdulillaah.
I am hooked….!
May Allaah reward you with Janaatul Firdaws, dear Shaykh. Aameen.
Wasalaamu alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh

very good site. may Allah give the shaykh more taufiq. i love the method of teaching.

Can I trouble you to please add an email subscription feature which notifies the reader of new posts. I can help you if you have trouble with set-up. This would be an excellent feature to your beautiful blog, insha’Allah.
LQToronto takes great pleasure to announce that our chief patron, respected Doctor Abdur Rahim, the author of world renowned Madina Books, has set up and launched his blog – http://www.DrVaniya.com
This will insha Allah become “The Arabic Language Teaching Resource” for the students who have completed or about to complete Book III and for all the world-wide teachers of Madina Books.
In his blog, Doctor Abdur Rahim will teach us many aspect of Arabic Grammar for advance students, not dealt in Madina Books. The following topics are the main theme of his blog:
Glorious Qur’an, Hadith, Arabic Poetry, Arabic Grammar, Arabic Language and Q & A.
AlHamdulillah – this resource will be a fabulous boon for all of us. Please visit this blog as often as you can and acquire great benefits from this fountain of Knowledge.
LQToronto has put a link to Doctor Abdur Rahim’s blog in the navigational menu for easy access.
Assalaanoalikum. Would shaikh have any information about the introduction of a female facility at the islamic university at Madinah or equivalent ? There were reports about this about two years ago ! JazakAllah khairun.
Jaza Kallah Khair for the complete team who is involved in all this noble work. I would like to ask you few questions as of now:
1, Can anyone learn Arabic Language just by going through the books and Video and Audio lectures. I mean without any interactive classes with Tutor. I know some blessed intelligent brothers can do that but i am asking about the average and below average kind of students.
2, Do you have any study or teaching centers in India which is providing all these courses or any study centers abroad.
3, Is there any option on your website, by which i could be updated on any newly added audio, video , books or any other content. So that it would be easy to get notified. Just like subscription feature available on many websites or portals.
From Admin.
wa “alaykumus salaam wa raHmatullaahi wa barakaatuhu Brother,
Jazaak Allaahu khayran.
With regular, hard work, and the right intention, a student of any level, can learn and master Arabic in shaa’ Allaah. Arabic is vast but it has a straight-forward and logical grammar system.
To learn and master Arabic, we recommend doing our Shaykh’s full Arabic program.
If there is an availability of training centers which provides Arabic training specially spoken Arabic in Saudi Arabia or India” Kindly let me know the details if you are aware of.
Assalaamoalaikum. Fantastic site. May Allah bless all involved. Does Sheikh know of where I can access a key to the notes regarding rules of recitation and tajweed in English – that appear in the at the back of the Saudi print of copies of the Qur’aan in the haramain ? Saleem
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakatuhu
This is a great website and I ask Allaah to preserve Dr. Faa Abdur-Raheem and to aid him in spreading knowledge of the Arabic language sincerely for His sake. I too would like to have my email addess added to your mailing list as well. BarakAllaahu feekum.
A question not related to Arabic Grammar: was the calligraphy of the ‘unwaan of this site done by al-Shaykh al-Khattat Uthman Taha (hafidhahuAllah) ? It looks like his signature at the bottom of the phrase so I was wondering.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. I’m sorry, but I do not see where I’m supposed to submit a question regarding a lesson, so I’m posting here.
In Hadith Lesson 1,
1) is the min in ‘wa min al-amali ma tarda’ MIN ZAA’IDA? It seems like it can easily be removed.
2) it said that the hadha in ‘fii safarana hadha’ is na’t. Can you please clarify this, as I though the hadha is mubdal minhu, but delayed because of idaafa. or does it become na’t once it’s delayed?
InsyaAllah I will be going to a place called Belgaum in the state of Bangalore, India (If I am not mistaken) sometime in June. The place is very near to the J. Nehru Medical College.
Is there a place near where I am going where I can purchase the Syaikh’s books? If there is, I would appreciate if anyone can provide a contact address. phone number or email address.
Secondly, I request to have my email address added to the mailing list.
I want to leave feedback and then post 2 questions. First, Jazzakum Allahu khairan for the outstanding work on this site. Also, to the Sheikh, I’ve purchased most of your books and was pleased to receive Surah Al-Hujuraat and Surah Yusuf a few days ago from the Islamic Foundation Trust in Chennai. I am gradually going back and forth between these two works, and I thoroughly enjoy learning advanced grammar and sarf by working through Surahs. Inshallah, I hope you can apply your methods to more Surahs in the future.
1) What is the rule on whether the fi’l in a jumla fi’illiya needs to be masculine vs feminine if the ‘faa’il is a combination of both human and nonhuman subjects? I guess technically the very first one is the faa’il, and the rest would be ma’tuuf, so is it based on the faa’il? For example, Surah 24, ayah 41. The verbs used are masculine singular, while the faa’il is man and the ma’tuuf is ‘aT-Tayru. So if the first word (i.e. faa’il) is plural ghayr aql, would the verb be single feminine even if the faa’il is followed by several ma’tuufs that are masculine ‘aql?
Also, in 2:122, regarding ‘ann’ in ‘wa annee faDaltukum”, would you say that it is badal for ni’mateya (or to an assumed but repeated ni’mateya) or is the harf mushabiha bi’l fi’l (AN) maf’ool bihi for udhkuroo? I guess the meaning might only be slightly different between the two in that the former implies that a favor was given for preferring them over other people.
Sheikh Could you please refer me best Nahav or arabic grammer books for children (these are completed Ohibbul arabiyya book part1- 4) who are learning arabic as second language in india.Jazaka allahu khairan.
Alhamdulillah, summa Alhamdulillah , Jazkha Allahu khairan Katheeran ya sheikh Barakallahu Laka fi ddunya wal akhirah. Really this is a very beneficial site for every student of knowledge. I always like the beauty of arabic language so we have given in our alfurqan islamic school more preference for Arabic. when I have gone through your site I really felt as if my dream of learning advanced arabic come true. As a woman and mother of 5 children I couldn’t go and learn anywhere after my graduation in arabic from calicut university .therefore this site is really beneficial to me to learn more on Arabic., quran & ahadith. Alhamdulillah .sheikh here I would like to inform you that your book “ahadith sahlah “is teaching in our school since 4 years for the grade 4th &5th students because here our students are learning Arabic from KG onwards. Now alhamdulillah when I found manahiju maahadi talimillugathil Arabiyya we have started few subjects from that book to class 5th, 6th & 7th its really beneficially one. May Allah Increase your knowledge and benefit more and more to this Ummah. May Allah accept all your effort of spreading the knowledge. Ameen

Assalamualaikum wrahmatullah,
I am new to using wordpress so I hope that you can help me insha’allah. I don’t know how to contact admin for clarification.
I didn”t quite understand – are these lessons broadcasted live? And if so how can we sit and benefit from them? – is there a link? And can we get the question/test papers marked by the shaykh himself/admins insha’allah.
Barakallahu feekum
May Allah reward you all abundantly for your efforts and striving, and establish us all on that which He loves and is pleased with. Ameen
mashalllah, niceee website… m now on boook 2 :) All praises to Allah swt…. and may Allah reward dr abdur raheem … :) ….how do i post question to clarify some doubts with shaykh ?? …
Assalamu alaikum, alhamdulillah, I’ve been learning much from the Sheikh, his books, and the website. However, till now I still have to keep checking the website as I have not been getting any update notices. Can you please add me to whatever list you have for new posting notifications? Jazaak Allahu khairan.
I am very happy to see your new blog. It’s wonderful. I was reading many comments of the Great Shaikh from lqtoronto.com. This is also perfect and it will increase our knowledge and love of Language of Quran. I have a new blog and today after I saw your blog, I’ve shared your blog in my blog with a humble review. I am Turkish and the review is also Turkish. But my love of you doesn’t need any languages. My humble review:
In the Madinah curriculum there is a section on الإملاء / spelling. Could you please add translation of that section to this website, because it contains a lot of valuable information which isn’t always mentioned in the language course.
Assalamu Alaykum
I stumbled upon your very exciting and refreshing website today. I was fortunate to have been a student of Dr Sh. Abduraheem in the mid 70’s.
I found Shaykh to be a very humble and effective teacher. His memory is with me till this day. Over the years I have passed on to others some of the knowledge of Arabic locally. It’s a great pity I did not meet Dr at the Quran Printing Complex when I visited there in 2003. I hope Sh. receives this message and could find the time to send a reply.
jazakumullah khair for the effort to spread the Arabic learning material. Alhamdulillah, I”m very thankful to find this very beneficial site. I would like to apologize to have translate the Key to Madinah Book to Bahasa Indonesia without prior permission form our Beloved Syaikh few years back, the reason simply because I want to use it for my self and my brothers and sisters Muslim in Indonesia all for free, and I don’t know where to ask for permission. Durusul Lughah is used widely in Indoneisa, and the translation of the Key to Madinah Book has allowed those who doesn’t have the chance to learn directly from a teacher to take benefit from the books like I do, to learn Arabic bit by bit at home (although the ideal way would be with a teacher).
Once again jazakallah khair ya syaikh, and if you don’t mind I would like to translate some of the material for this site in my language.
salam alaikum
may you please be so kind and forward this message to Shaikh Abdurrahim Vaniyambadi or send me his email adress. I am one of his old students. He taught me Arabic more than 20 years ago but I was so negligent to contact him on a regularly basis.

Djazakumullahu khairan for this wonderful site
May Allah reward the Shaykh for his beneficial works and effort, and may Allah reward all the people who are making this site possible.
@ Admin: Please notify me of new lessons via email
aslamalaiqum, Im from the UK. How do i purchase the books re: the story of the repentance of Ka’ab bin Maalik Hadiith of Abu Sufyaan (may Allah be pleased with both of them)
asslam o alikum wr wb
respected admin please inform me is shekh abdur rahim taking any live classes in madinah mnawra?
if yes, then where n at what time?
how can i meet respected shekh as i live in madinah mnawra?
Can you subscribe me to the mailing list? And also, can you direct me on how to purchase the story of the repentance of Ka’ab bin Maalik and Hadiith of Abu Sufyaan (may Allah be pleased with both of them)?
Sir, are ANYTHING from Dr. V. Abdur Rahim can be downloaded (for free)?
Or are there something have to be purchased?
If anything can be downloaded, is this website provide all the links?
Or if I have to purchase, what is website that sell ALL material from Dr. V. Abdur Rahim?
And please let me add to this beautiful web’s mailing list :)
“It is to be noted that Abdur Rahim learnt Arabic by himself at the early stages.”
Shaykh, could you explain HOW you learnt Arabic by yourself?
(I think it’s so amazing when someone learnt Arabic by himself then he teach Arabic Philology in Islamic University of Madinah!!)
I want to know DESPERATELY because I myself feel discouraged when learn Arabic in class :)
assalaamu alaikum.
The shaykh will inshaAllah reply to the question. But I have to say something here. Actually learning by yourself is very difficult task. And Dr sahib went through this task. But alhamdulillaah the difficulties he faced in learning arabic are no more there for us. He removes those difficulties for coming generation students who also want to learn arabic by themself. And this is the reason why the students enjoy to learn arabic from Dr Abdur Rahim’s books. Alhamdulillaah Dr sahib prepared great books for us. He is a great leadership in arabic language and he well deserves our support and duaas.
May Allah reward him with best in this life and after life.
Dear admin rohimahulloh, I am still waiting for the story how shaykh learnt Arabic by himself :)
Admin, do you know who else SUCCESS learnt Arabic autodidactly?
(I pray shaykh someday will visit Indonesia)
May Allah subhana reward the Shaykh with the highest place in Jannah. I would like to ask, if anyone knows where i can get: Teaching notes (for the teacher) & methods as employed at Madinah Islaamic University.

Kulliyyatul Quranil Kareem-South Africa, is an institute which offers various Islamic sciences which include fiqh, hadith, tafseer, tajweed, ilmul-qira’at and Arabic. Recently we downloaded a copy of durusul Arabia lghayrin natiqina biha of Dr V Abdur Rahim from fatwa. com and found it to be very beneficial.
Where can we acquire copies of this monumental work as we intend introducing it to the 1st and 2nd year classes.

I am a new learner under the Respected Shaykh’s guidance..Alhamdulillaahi hamdan katheeran! For me it is nothing but a beautiful answer to my prayer of Seeking Knowledge of Arabic so that I could understand The Qur’aan myself and bi’idhnillaah teach to others the messages our Beloved Holy Book has..Subhaan Allaah <3
I got to know about this site via lqtoronto.com which I joined One month back to Learn Arabic from Some Arabic Books… but only in this one month I realized "What Those Some Arabic Books" were! A TREASURE! and now for me MY MOST TREASURED TREASURE! Alhamdulillaah..
Alhamdulillaah I completed my first Madinah Book today :D so I got time to surf keenly through this blog and Alhamdulillaah got MANY NEW AMAZING TREASURES .. (everybody you gotta find that urself..just dip into the site (; )
Simply A BEAUTIFUL BLESSING OF ALLAAH SUBHAANAHU WA TA'ALA…

I would like to buy all the books from you that should be studied after the madinah books. I don`t have a computer or regular access to one so I would prefer to study with hard copy books.
I live in almadinah.
It would be of great help if this is possible.
Asalaamu ‘alaikum wa Rahmatallahi wa baraakuthu Shakyh,
Words are incapable and falling short to describe the gratitude and feeling after visiting and got benefited from such an marvelous Job done on the field of Arabic literary for non native-arabic audience.
I pray to almighty to provide you highest rank in Jannatul-Firdaus.
It’s a real TREASURE. Jazakallah for helping ummah for your outstanding work.
Bismillah,
Barakallahu fiik Dr. Vaniya and Sheikh Abdurraheem,
I’m from Indonesia the city is Jakarta,
My Question is can I download the Book of learning arabic for children and use in my school to teach children. I see there are copyrighted !…but the problem it’s hard to me to pay the book!
As salamu alaykum, I am from Bangladesh. It’s my dream to learn Arabic. I have already downloaded most of the DVDs & PDF books of Dr. V Abdur Raheem. After starting my journey to learn Arabic, I am feeling the necessity for hard copies of Madina text book :1, 2 & 3. Would you mind helping me getting these books.
As salamu alaykum, I beg your pardon to inform you that I am a boy not a girl as you assumed. Please, give me the information about the total cost of these three books including transportation from Chennai to Bangladesh.
If you only want to buy the 3 Arabic textbooks then buy them from local bookstore. It will save you the shipping price. Contact any Islamic bookstore in your country. The name of the book is “Duruus-ul-Lughah”.
If you are also interested in 3 English Keys and 3 Solutions then you can think about shipping from India.
Certainly brother Admin, I am about 21 years old. Brother Mohammad Ali, I live at savar in Dhaka, can you please tell me where I can get those 3 text books in Dhaka, Bangladesh?
I can’t help you in that as I am not from Bangladesh. But you can ask brothers in the mosque if they can help you. I hope they will give you the names of islamic bookstores. Duruus-ul-Lughah is so famous book and I don’t think it is not available in your country.
May Allah ease your task for you!
Brother Kawsar, I contacted the U.K. publisher of the 3 Madinah Books which is UK Islamic Academy. They sell the three Madinah books with Keys, at £17.95.
Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahe wa barakatuh
I like books of Al shaikh V. A. Raheem all books very very good
i want for my Centre all books & DVD. Please sent your books

After completing the 3 Madinah Books, our Shaykh has authored and personally taught advanced Qur’aanic Arabic courses for the graduates of the 3 Madinah Books.
Please start the graduate program in the Advanced Library here.
Yes, of course you can teach the 3 Madinah Books to your friends.
To help you, please visit our Teachers’ Library and benefit from our Shaykh’s wealth of guidance and resources for Arabic teachers. here.
Assalamu alaikum
Alhamdhulillah..I’m one of the thousands of students who is benefitting from the sheikhs vast knowledge..may Allah reward him with the best of this world and hereafter..I was thrilled to know that he comes from my part of the world in Tamil Nadu and I have a humble request to him..so many of the Tamil speaking people do not have access to learning Quran ..if the Sheikh could give some of his valuable time and expertise in this regard it would be so beneficial that I cannot describe in words..
Assalamu Alaikum
I have been inspired by the Sheikhs books, specifically the first two parts of the Arabic course for beginners. As well as having studied these books, I have alhamdulillah had the chance teach them for many years, and I have found they are the easiest to teach Arabic grammar with.
By the grace of the almighty, I Insha Allah intend to start teaching the courses online to English speaking students, in the hope that they will soon able to open the Qur’an and tafaseer to take greater understanding of Islam, Allah’s Ahkaam and the guidance of his Rasool sallalahi alaihi wasallam. I would like to take permission from the Shaykh to do this as I would not feel happy to use his work without his permission. I do not intend to change anything from his work, and merely use the online base for wider reach. I will also ensure that students have bought a hard copy, and would like to know what the best print to use is.
I would most appreciate being able to contact the Shaykh if this is possible, to thank him for such a wonderful work and also formally ask him myself for permission to use his work. Please pray Allah accepts the work I am endeavouring to take on.
Your site contains big pool of materials that is very useful to million of people like me who is learning to understand the Qur’an. Alhamdulillah.
Under the Teachers’s Library, I found Kitaab al-Mu’allim Vo. 1 Lesson 1-10. Is the complete set for Vol 1 and where could I find the lessons for Vol 2 and 3. Is there anywhere that I could purchase the whole set.
All three volumes of kitab ul muallim are available for purchase. Maybe admin can provide you with the link of online bookstore. Kitab ul muallim vol 1 contains 23 lessons. First 10 lessons are available for download in teacher’s library above.
Could you please suggest me the best way to reach out dear shayx dr. Abdur Rahim?
I’m a translator and have recently come across with his Madina Books with the purpose of learning Arabic. And I found them very useful assets for Arabic learners of my native language. I want his permission to translate them into Uzbek if he also wills it.
Please give a chance to contact him at the earliest as I’m so much eager to listen from him as his reply will be a great reward for us to learn Arabic under his guidance with the help of his priceless books.
Dear shaykh, peace be with you and Allah’s mercy, and may He reward you for your efforts with the best rewards.
I appreciate your work very much. I’ve read Durus ul Lughat 1, 2, and 3. After about 3 years, I’m still going back to them to improve, esp. book 3 which I haven’t really mastered.
I also have a suggestion. Can you put up a page or a box on your site with the date, to help us get used to using Hijri dates? At home, we write the month on our whiteboard with a marker, and we can write the day of the week, but I can’t write the date, like the 20th of Robi’ ul Akhir, etc.
Thk you again. All praises be to Allah. Abdullah Reed with Ihsan Reed.

Dear شيخ would it be possible to design a new material to help us learn Arabic?
I have in mind a scenario in which you teach your Madinah Arabic books (from the first to the last book) in a class with many students in real situation. So you interact with the students: you greet them at beginning of the lesson, you write the date on the board, you explain the lesson, students ask questions, some students are sent to the board, some of them do mistakes, you correct them, some of them do well, you congratulate them, they do their homework (perhaps some of them forget to do so), …
There is already such classroom atmosphere at the end of the method and the conversation drills, but the goal is to help students studying on their own with situations in which they can hear Arabic (both correct and incorrect with mistakes correction) and study the Madinah Arabic curriculum. The material would also provide teachers with examples on how to teach the method (despite the already available books for teachers)
1) After the 3 Madinah Books, home-students have the company of the Shaykh in a real class, with students participating, on the graduate program available on DVDs.
2) Teachers should continue to use كتاب المعلم. The Shaykh has given meticulous guidance, precise, interactive techniques, and the necessary aids on how to teach the topics of every lesson in دروس اللغة. The task of teachers has already been made very easy.
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you dear Shaykh. In fact, your blog is an amazing repository of knowledge and I cannot thank you enough except to pray that Allah bless you abundantly in this world and hereafter. I just put finish touches to the videos that were taught by Brother Asif Mehralli! I woud really love to appreciate your zeal toward teaching the language of the Quran to the whole world! And who is the best of us if not the one who learns the Quran and teaches others?
I decided to visit your blog and lo! most of the resources are free for students for Advanced and complementary studies!…I am so glad Allah created someone like you in our midst. May Allah bless you ever more. Ana Uhibuka katheerah lillahi! Jazaakallahu khairan!
assalamu alaikum, sheikh i have a question. I teach madina arabic book. want your suggestion about the standard time frame required for finishing the books. i think book 1 requires approx 50 hours, book 2– 130 hours, book 3— 350+ . sheikh want to know the standard time.
Yes, the Madinah Arabic Reader series is actually for children and young teens. Schools are using it to prepare children for the University of London (UK), GCE O-level and A-Level Arabic exams. School children as young as 7 yrs old are learning the series.
For 5-6 year olds, teachers are supplementing the series with our supplementary worksheets. (Children’s Library)
For toddlers, one may use our Shaykh’s 2 Vol. series: دروس اللغة للأطفال ‘Arabic Reader’ (Children’s Book Fair).
To all teachers, we recommend our Shaykh’s 3 Vol. Teachers’ Guides for success in teaching دروس اللغة العربية. The guides provide a meticulous, step-by-step, practical and interactive approach to teaching Arabic – which is a very important approach for non-natives, especially children (Teachers’ Library).
A private message to our Shaykh first goes through Admin. Please post your message here which will not be published but forwarded to our Shaykh, إن شاء الله.
Salam Shaikh,
I have a few questions regarding Arabic Grammar. Will it be possible for me to ask thse questions and how?
I hope to hear from you soon.
Jazak’Allah
Alhamdu-lil-lah i Have benefited immensely from your books shaykh, and now I wanted to use them for my students In-sha-Allah . I would like to know where can I get all the books easily in Madras . Is there a brick and mortar store which sells them all ?
Very glad to have stumbled upon this site. As someone who has finished studying the 3 Madinah book series, i would like to inquire whether completing the esteemed Sheikh’s post-graduate program as outlined would make me competent to tackle books like Sibawayh’s Al-Kitaab or Imam Tabari’s Tafseer.
I tried to open the PPS PPT files of Arabic course. But I am not able to open them because they are password protected. The password is not mentioned anywhere on your website. Can you please inform me the password to open these files.
I want to install your mobile app on android but I found that the app is missing in google play store. I tried to visit Google playstore after clicking on the link mentioned on your website. The link does not exist. I have pasted the link below. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elmarqist.arabicteachingaid
Request you to kindly send me the link for application please.
I am encountering the same problem, and I simply want to open and view the videos in power point. It is stating that the file is password protected. Power point is definitely editable.
I appreciate your hard work, and I simply want to watch the free videos.
Assalomu alaykum, l need to contact with a person who can guide me how to take a permission on translating some books and to use them in Arabic teaching. Please let me know if possible.
اسلام عليكم
Books printed in syria are costly in india.
it would be good if you upload these books in pdf such as Arabic versions of “from ishfan to madina”, “both these lights emnate from the same niche” “aqsamul iman fi aqsam al quran” and “mujam ad dhakeel”
In regard to ayat 24 of surah al ahqaf grammatic analysis , i heard in the audio lesson that the alternative construction can be عارضاً مستقبلٍ أوديَتَهُم instead of the original عارضاً مستقبلَ أوديَتِهِم.
Request to throw light on this. I will be extremely thankful for other examples of similar constructions.

I am coming to KSA for the performance of Umrah and would reach Al-Medinaht-ul-Munwarrah on Monday 10th December 2018. I want to meet Dr. V. Adbur Rahim. Will he be kind enough to spare some time for me? It will be an honor for me. My contact no. is +923452654087.
I’m from Indonesia, I’d like to ask about the permission to print the book of durusullughah al arabia juz 1 to 3, is that allowed for pesonal use? Because there are few people who print it to learn in majlis or to learn from online course in our country.
We would like to use the online tests on the website for Madina books. We see how students can log in. Can the teacher log in as administrator to track progress. How does one create an administrator email. These are all wonderful resources. Thank you!
Yes, a teacher can log-in as Admin to track progress.
To become an Admin you will need to set up your own name as Admin and copy our tests into your Admin page. Alternatively, you can create your own tests.
السلام عليكم و رحمة الله و بركاته
is there is a pdf copy i could buy it from the internet for the teacher book of el madinah
because i live in egypt and i can not find a teacher book here
I require an editable copy (preferably in Msword format) of the Madina Arabic books and English key book in order to read the same with my screen reading software which I use to read onscreen text (as I am visually challenged).
I have performed an OCR process on the pdf copies of these books, but the results weren’t ideal.
Would you be able to place me in possession of electronic copies of the said books as detailed above?
I hope the respected Sheikh and his team are all in good health. Ameen.
I visited drvaniya.com again after a while today, and I was very pleased to see all the new content, Alhamdulillah! May Allah grant the best of reward to the respected Sheikh and his hard working team for such great quality resources. I am unable to express the level of gratitude I have as these resources have enabled me to learn Arabic and connect to Quran. Alhamdulillah!
I want to ask if there is any way I can help you in creating these resources? Being a tiny part of Sheikh’s team will be a huge honour for me.

Thank you so much for the link. Actually, Sister Shahneen shared the website
with me just a few days ago too. I love the poetry section, it is like a
weekly dose of Madinah books’ revision, with a beauty and a moral behind
every verse. I will Insha Allah keep visiting it frequently to see the
updates.
I am enjoying thoroughly the Selected Verses from the Glorious Quran DVDs as

Assalaamu ‘Alaykum Doctor Abdur Rahim,
Jazaakaallahu Khairan for forwarding the URL of your new blog to me! I
really liked the analysis of all the verses and what I like the best is that
you have added the grammatical analysis of lines of poetry too! And they are
full of wisdom to reflect upon! May ALLAH grant you more Tawfeeq to help the
Ummah learn Arabic and enjoy it, and to help us all understand the Qur’an.
I will await reading more poems and verses’ analyses as you post them insha
ALLAH.
I also forwarded the URL to Sister Zara, from Maldives.
May I share it with other contacts of mine?

Compliments to the admin for the quick response to the questions.
LQToronto takes great pleasure to announce that our chief patron, respected Doctor Abdur Rahim, the author of world renowned Madina Books, has set up and launched his blog – http://www.DrVaniya.com
This will insha Allah become “The Arabic Language Teaching Resource” for the students who have completed or about to complete Book III and for all the world-wide teachers of Madina Books.
In his blog, Doctor Abdur Rahim will teach us many aspect of Arabic Grammar for advance students, not dealt in Madina Books. The following topics are the main theme of his blog:
Glorious Qur’an, Hadith, Arabic Poetry, Arabic Grammar, Arabic Language and Q & A.
AlHamdulillah – this resource will be a fabulous boon for all of us. Please visit this blog as often as you can and acquire great benefits from this fountain of Knowledge.
LQToronto has put a link to Doctor Abdur Rahim’s blog in the navigational menu for easy access.
Assalaanoalikum. Would shaikh have any information about the introduction of a female facility at the islamic university at Madinah or equivalent ? There were reports about this about two years ago ! JazakAllah khairun.
As Salaam Alaikum Wrh Wbr…
Jaza Kallah Khair for the complete team who is involved in all this noble work. I would like to ask you few questions as of now:
1, Can anyone learn Arabic Language just by going through the books and Video and Audio lectures. I mean without any interactive classes with Tutor. I know some blessed intelligent brothers can do that but i am asking about the average and below average kind of students.
2, Do you have any study or teaching centers in India which is providing all these courses or any study centers abroad.
3, Is there any option on your website, by which i could be updated on any newly added audio, video , books or any other content. So that it would be easy to get notified. Just like subscription feature available on many websites or portals.
Jaza Kallah Khair.

Jazaak Allaahu khayran.
With regular, hard work, and the right intention, a student of any level, can learn and master Arabic in shaa’ Allaah. Arabic is vast but it has a straight-forward and logical grammar system.
To learn and master Arabic, we recommend doing our Shaykh’s full Arabic program.
I have added you to our mailing list.

If there is an availability of training centers which provides Arabic training specially spoken Arabic in Saudi Arabia or India” Kindly let me know the details if you are aware of.
Assalaamoalaikum. Fantastic site. May Allah bless all involved. Does Sheikh know of where I can access a key to the notes regarding rules of recitation and tajweed in English – that appear in the at the back of the Saudi print of copies of the Qur’aan in the haramain ? Saleem

This is a great website and I ask Allaah to preserve Dr. Faa Abdur-Raheem and to aid him in spreading knowledge of the Arabic language sincerely for His sake. I too would like to have my email addess added to your mailing list as well. BarakAllaahu feekum.
A question not related to Arabic Grammar: was the calligraphy of the ‘unwaan of this site done by al-Shaykh al-Khattat Uthman Taha (hafidhahuAllah) ? It looks like his signature at the bottom of the phrase so I was wondering.
Yes, it is his signature.
All calligraphers write their names below their writings.

Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah. I’m sorry, but I do not see where I’m supposed to submit a question regarding a lesson, so I’m posting here.
In Hadith Lesson 1,
1) is the min in ‘wa min al-amali ma tarda’ MIN ZAA’IDA? It seems like it can easily be removed.
2) it said that the hadha in ‘fii safarana hadha’ is na’t. Can you please clarify this, as I though the hadha is mubdal minhu, but delayed because of idaafa. or does it become na’t once it’s delayed?
Jazak Allahu khayran.
Assalaamualaikum warrahmatullaahi wabarakaatuhu,
InsyaAllah I will be going to a place called Belgaum in the state of Bangalore, India (If I am not mistaken) sometime in June. The place is very near to the J. Nehru Medical College.
Is there a place near where I am going where I can purchase the Syaikh’s books? If there is, I would appreciate if anyone can provide a contact address. phone number or email address.
Secondly, I request to have my email address added to the mailing list.
JazaakALlaahu khairan.
Assalamu alaikum,
I want to leave feedback and then post 2 questions. First, Jazzakum Allahu khairan for the outstanding work on this site. Also, to the Sheikh, I’ve purchased most of your books and was pleased to receive Surah Al-Hujuraat and Surah Yusuf a few days ago from the Islamic Foundation Trust in Chennai. I am gradually going back and forth between these two works, and I thoroughly enjoy learning advanced grammar and sarf by working through Surahs. Inshallah, I hope you can apply your methods to more Surahs in the future.
1) What is the rule on whether the fi’l in a jumla fi’illiya needs to be masculine vs feminine if the ‘faa’il is a combination of both human and nonhuman subjects? I guess technically the very first one is the faa’il, and the rest would be ma’tuuf, so is it based on the faa’il? For example, Surah 24, ayah 41. The verbs used are masculine singular, while the faa’il is man and the ma’tuuf is ‘aT-Tayru. So if the first word (i.e. faa’il) is plural ghayr aql, would the verb be single feminine even if the faa’il is followed by several ma’tuufs that are masculine ‘aql?
Also, in 2:122, regarding ‘ann’ in ‘wa annee faDaltukum”, would you say that it is badal for ni’mateya (or to an assumed but repeated ni’mateya) or is the harf mushabiha bi’l fi’l (AN) maf’ool bihi for udhkuroo? I guess the meaning might only be slightly different between the two in that the former implies that a favor was given for preferring them over other people.
Assalamu alaikum Warahmathullah,
Sheikh Could you please refer me best Nahav or arabic grammer books for children (these are completed Ohibbul arabiyya book part1- 4) who are learning arabic as second language in india.Jazaka allahu khairan.
Assalamu alaikum Warahmathullah,
Alhamdulillah, summa Alhamdulillah , Jazkha Allahu khairan Katheeran ya sheikh Barakallahu Laka fi ddunya wal akhirah. Really this is a very beneficial site for every student of knowledge. I always like the beauty of arabic language so we have given in our alfurqan islamic school more preference for Arabic. when I have gone through your site I really felt as if my dream of learning advanced arabic come true. As a woman and mother of 5 children I couldn’t go and learn anywhere after my graduation in arabic from calicut university .therefore this site is really beneficial to me to learn more on Arabic., quran & ahadith. Alhamdulillah .sheikh here I would like to inform you that your book “ahadith sahlah “is teaching in our school since 4 years for the grade 4th &5th students because here our students are learning Arabic from KG onwards. Now alhamdulillah when I found manahiju maahadi talimillugathil Arabiyya we have started few subjects from that book to class 5th, 6th & 7th its really beneficially one. May Allah Increase your knowledge and benefit more and more to this Ummah. May Allah accept all your effort of spreading the knowledge. Ameen

I stumbled upon your very exciting and refreshing website today. I was fortunate to have been a student of Dr Sh. Abduraheem in the mid 70’s.
I found Shaykh to be a very humble and effective teacher. His memory is with me till this day. Over the years I have passed on to others some of the knowledge of Arabic locally. It’s a great pity I did not meet Dr at the Quran Printing Complex when I visited there in 2003. I hope Sh. receives this message and could find the time to send a reply.

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh
jazakumullah khair for the effort to spread the Arabic learning material. Alhamdulillah, I”m very thankful to find this very beneficial site. I would like to apologize to have translate the Key to Madinah Book to Bahasa Indonesia without prior permission form our Beloved Syaikh few years back, the reason simply because I want to use it for my self and my brothers and sisters Muslim in Indonesia all for free, and I don’t know where to ask for permission. Durusul Lughah is used widely in Indoneisa, and the translation of the Key to Madinah Book has allowed those who doesn’t have the chance to learn directly from a teacher to take benefit from the books like I do, to learn Arabic bit by bit at home (although the ideal way would be with a teacher).
Once again jazakallah khair ya syaikh, and if you don’t mind I would like to translate some of the material for this site in my language.
Barakallahu fikum, wassalamu’alaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh
Dear Sister Umm Abdillah

There was nothing wrong in translating the key into Indonesian.
Rather, I must thank you for that.

(In Shaykh’s profile it says:)
“It is to be noted that Abdur Rahim learnt Arabic by himself at the early stages.”
Shaykh, could you explain HOW you learnt Arabic by yourself?
(I think it’s so amazing when someone learnt Arabic by himself then he teach Arabic Philology in Islamic University of Madinah!!)
I want to know DESPERATELY because I myself feel discouraged when learn Arabic in class :)
Barokalloh fiik
assalaamu alaikum.
The shaykh will inshaAllah reply to the question. But I have to say something here. Actually learning by yourself is very difficult task. And Dr sahib went through this task. But alhamdulillaah the difficulties he faced in learning arabic are no more there for us. He removes those difficulties for coming generation students who also want to learn arabic by themself. And this is the reason why the students enjoy to learn arabic from Dr Abdur Rahim’s books. Alhamdulillaah Dr sahib prepared great books for us. He is a great leadership in arabic language and he well deserves our support and duaas.
May Allah reward him with best in this life and after life.

As salamu alaykum, I am from Bangladesh. It’s my dream to learn Arabic. I have already downloaded most of the DVDs & PDF books of Dr. V Abdur Raheem. After starting my journey to learn Arabic, I am feeling the necessity for hard copies of Madina text book :1, 2 & 3. Would you mind helping me getting these books.
from Admin
وعليكم السلام Sister
You can buy hard copies of the 3 Madinah Books from the publisher in India.
Contact details here.
As salamu alaykum, I beg your pardon to inform you that I am a boy not a girl as you assumed. Please, give me the information about the total cost of these three books including transportation from Chennai to Bangladesh.
from Admin
وعليكم السلام ورحـمة الله Brother,
I do not know the shipping cost from Chennai to Bangladesh. Please write to IFT.
Br. Muhammad Ali also has a good suggestion.
Br. Kawsar could I ask: How old are you?
If you only want to buy the 3 Arabic textbooks then buy them from local bookstore. It will save you the shipping price. Contact any Islamic bookstore in your country. The name of the book is “Duruus-ul-Lughah”.
If you are also interested in 3 English Keys and 3 Solutions then you can think about shipping from India.
You can buy these books from Al manar library ,Andarkilla masjid market,Chittagong,mob.01819175722
Certainly brother Admin, I am about 21 years old. Brother Mohammad Ali, I live at savar in Dhaka, can you please tell me where I can get those 3 text books in Dhaka, Bangladesh?
I can’t help you in that as I am not from Bangladesh. But you can ask brothers in the mosque if they can help you. I hope they will give you the names of islamic bookstores. Duruus-ul-Lughah is so famous book and I don’t think it is not available in your country.
May Allah ease your task for you!
Zajhakallahu khair brother Muhammad Ali.

The word Kiraam (كرام) & Kitab (كتاب) isn’t like Root System of FiaAl (فعال). Another Examples are Iimam (إمام) and Siraj (سراج).
Please explain in details.

وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
The word كرام is a plural, on wazn فِــعَــال which is used for certain plurals.
The word كتاب is not a plural.
The 3 Madinah Books teach many maSdar patterns of فعل ثلاثي مـجرد – e.g. wazn فِــعَــالٌ – and many patterns of جــمــع.
There is a lot more explanation.

I have been inspired by the Sheikhs books, specifically the first two parts of the Arabic course for beginners. As well as having studied these books, I have alhamdulillah had the chance teach them for many years, and I have found they are the easiest to teach Arabic grammar with.
By the grace of the almighty, I Insha Allah intend to start teaching the courses online to English speaking students, in the hope that they will soon able to open the Qur’an and tafaseer to take greater understanding of Islam, Allah’s Ahkaam and the guidance of his Rasool sallalahi alaihi wasallam. I would like to take permission from the Shaykh to do this as I would not feel happy to use his work without his permission. I do not intend to change anything from his work, and merely use the online base for wider reach. I will also ensure that students have bought a hard copy, and would like to know what the best print to use is.
I would most appreciate being able to contact the Shaykh if this is possible, to thank him for such a wonderful work and also formally ask him myself for permission to use his work. Please pray Allah accepts the work I am endeavouring to take on.

I appreciate your work very much. I’ve read Durus ul Lughat 1, 2, and 3. After about 3 years, I’m still going back to them to improve, esp. book 3 which I haven’t really mastered.
I also have a suggestion. Can you put up a page or a box on your site with the date, to help us get used to using Hijri dates? At home, we write the month on our whiteboard with a marker, and we can write the day of the week, but I can’t write the date, like the 20th of Robi’ ul Akhir, etc.

Dear شيخ would it be possible to design a new material to help us learn Arabic?
I have in mind a scenario in which you teach your Madinah Arabic books (from the first to the last book) in a class with many students in real situation. So you interact with the students: you greet them at beginning of the lesson, you write the date on the board, you explain the lesson, students ask questions, some students are sent to the board, some of them do mistakes, you correct them, some of them do well, you congratulate them, they do their homework (perhaps some of them forget to do so), …
There is already such classroom atmosphere at the end of the method and the conversation drills, but the goal is to help students studying on their own with situations in which they can hear Arabic (both correct and incorrect with mistakes correction) and study the Madinah Arabic curriculum. The material would also provide teachers with examples on how to teach the method (despite the already available books for teachers)
بارك الله فيكم
السلام عليكم
1) After the 3 Madinah Books, home-students have the company of the Shaykh in a real class, with students participating, on the graduate program available on DVDs.
2) Teachers should continue to use كتاب المعلم. The Shaykh has given meticulous guidance, precise, interactive techniques, and the necessary aids on how to teach the topics of every lesson in دروس اللغة. The task of teachers has already been made very easy.

Dear Shaykh AbduRaheem,
May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you dear Shaykh. In fact, your blog is an amazing repository of knowledge and I cannot thank you enough except to pray that Allah bless you abundantly in this world and hereafter. I just put finish touches to the videos that were taught by Brother Asif Mehralli! I woud really love to appreciate your zeal toward teaching the language of the Quran to the whole world! And who is the best of us if not the one who learns the Quran and teaches others?
I decided to visit your blog and lo! most of the resources are free for students for Advanced and complementary studies!…I am so glad Allah created someone like you in our midst. May Allah bless you ever more. Ana Uhibuka katheerah lillahi! Jazaakallahu khairan!
السلام عليكم Brother
جزاك الله خيرا for your message which our Shaykh appreciates.

assalamu alaikum, sheikh i have a question. I teach madina arabic book. want your suggestion about the standard time frame required for finishing the books. i think book 1 requires approx 50 hours, book 2– 130 hours, book 3— 350+ . sheikh want to know the standard time.
Assalamu Alaikum
I am wanting to know if the Madinah Arabic Reader series can be used for children and if so what age group do you recommend for each book?
Jazakallah Khayr
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله
Yes, the Madinah Arabic Reader series is actually for children and young teens. Schools are using it to prepare children for the University of London (UK), GCE O-level and A-Level Arabic exams. School children as young as 7 yrs old are learning the series.
For 5-6 year olds, teachers are supplementing the series with our supplementary worksheets. (Children’s Library)
For toddlers, one may use our Shaykh’s 2 Vol. series: دروس اللغة للأطفال ‘Arabic Reader’ (Children’s Book Fair).
To all teachers, we recommend our Shaykh’s 3 Vol. Teachers’ Guides for success in teaching دروس اللغة العربية. The guides provide a meticulous, step-by-step, practical and interactive approach to teaching Arabic – which is a very important approach for non-natives, especially children (Teachers’ Library).
Admin
asalamalaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh, pls kindly send brother Asif Meheralli’s and Dr.V. AbdulRahim’s contacts.
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
You may contact Br Asif at

A private message to our Shaykh first goes through Admin. Please post your message here which will not be published but forwarded to our Shaykh, إن شاء الله.

Assalamualaikum plz are there examples of طلب and جواب طلبhere in this site yani any Hades or quranic ayah dealing with it
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله
الْجَزْمُ بالطلبِ is explained with examples in دروس اللغة Book 3, lesson 13.
For examples from the Qurʾān on-line here, please see:
Glorious Qurʾān: lessons 2 and 3.
Here are some more āyāt on this:
قُلْ تَعَالَوْا أَتْلُ ما حَرَّمَ ربُّكم عليكم (الأنعام: ١٥١)
فتَعَالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وأُسَرِّحْكُنَّ… (الأحزاب: ٢٨)
فَاتَّبِعْنِي أَهْدِكَ صِرَاطاً سَوِيّاً (مريم: ٤٣)
قال رَبِّ أَرِنِي أنظرْ إليك (الأعراف: ١٤٣)
فخُذْ أربعةً مِن الطَّيْرِ … ثُمَّ ادْعُهُنَّ يَأْتِينَكَ سَعْياً (البقرة: ٢٦٠)
وَهُزِّي إليكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسَاقِطْ عليكِ رُطَباً جَنِيّاً (مريم: ٢٥)
وألقِ ما في يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ ما صَنَعُوا (طه: ٦٩)
قَاتِلُوهم يُعَذِّبْهم اللهُ بأيديكم ويُخْزِهم ويَنْصُرْكم عليهم ويَشْفِ صدورَ قومٍ مؤمنين (التوبة: ١٤)
يا أيها الذينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللهَ وقولوا قولاً سديداً * يُصْلِحْ لكم أعمالَكم ويغفرْ لكم ذنوبَكم (الأحزاب: ٧٠-٧١)

As-Salaam aleykum,
Very glad to have stumbled upon this site. As someone who has finished studying the 3 Madinah book series, i would like to inquire whether completing the esteemed Sheikh’s post-graduate program as outlined would make me competent to tackle books like Sibawayh’s Al-Kitaab or Imam Tabari’s Tafseer.
JazakAllah kheyr.
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله Brother
Yes, it will be easy to understand these books, إن شاء الله.
Admin
May Allaah reward you with good.
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakaatuh,
I tried to open the PPS PPT files of Arabic course. But I am not able to open them because they are password protected. The password is not mentioned anywhere on your website. Can you please inform me the password to open these files.
JazaakAllahu Khaira
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
Brother, I am able to open the files without being asked for a password.
The files are password protected only for editing purposes, not for opening.
I am not sure what problem you are encountering.
I am sorry.
Admin
Assalamu Alaikum dear brother,
I want to install your mobile app on android but I found that the app is missing in google play store. I tried to visit Google playstore after clicking on the link mentioned on your website. The link does not exist. I have pasted the link below.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elmarqist.arabicteachingaid
Request you to kindly send me the link for application please.

I will need to contact the Brother dealing with this.
In the meantime, please benefit from our videos in Digital Teaching Aids.
I will try to send a reply to your email, in sha Allaah.
Admin
Peace.
I am encountering the same problem, and I simply want to open and view the videos in power point. It is stating that the file is password protected. Power point is definitely editable.
I appreciate your hard work, and I simply want to watch the free videos.
Please advise.
Thank you.
In peace,
Sister Niambi S. Muhammad
السلام عليكم Sister
I tested the files externally and I can open them without being prompted for a password.
I do not know why you are encountering this problem.
I am sorry I do not know what to suggest.

Books printed in syria are costly in india.
it would be good if you upload these books in pdf such as Arabic versions of “from ishfan to madina”, “both these lights emnate from the same niche” “aqsamul iman fi aqsam al quran” and “mujam ad dhakeel”
may allah bless you all
assalam alaikum
In regard to ayat 24 of surah al ahqaf grammatic analysis , i heard in the audio lesson that the alternative construction can be
عارضاً مستقبلٍ أوديَتَهُم instead of the original عارضاً مستقبلَ أوديَتِهِم.
Request to throw light on this. I will be extremely thankful for other examples of similar constructions.

I’m from Indonesia, I’d like to ask about the permission to print the book of durusullughah al arabia juz 1 to 3, is that allowed for pesonal use? Because there are few people who print it to learn in majlis or to learn from online course in our country.
Jazakumullah khayran
Assalamu’alaikum

Brother Ari, you have permission to print دروس اللغة العربية in 3 parts, for personal use.
May Allaah make it easy for you to learn the language of the Qur’aan.

We would like to use the online tests on the website for Madina books. We see how students can log in. Can the teacher log in as administrator to track progress. How does one create an administrator email. These are all wonderful resources. Thank you!

وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته
جزاك الله خيرا.
You are free to use the on-line tests here.
Yes, a teacher can log-in as Admin to track progress.
To become an Admin you will need to set up your own name as Admin and copy our tests into your Admin page. Alternatively, you can create your own tests.
The set-up is very easy and free here.
We have now made the Arabic font much larger in the children’s tests and added pictures and colours to enhance learning.

Thank you

السلام عليكم
ريبَ is مبني على الفتح، في محل نصب because it is اسم لا النافية للجنس.
Here are five more aayaat on this grammar pattern:
الله لا إلهَ إلا هو (البقرة: 255)
لا إكراهَ في الدينِ (البقرة: 256)
قالوا لا علمَ لنا إلا ما عَلَّمْتَنا (البقرة: 32)
قالوا لا طاقةَ لنا اليومَ (البقرة: 249)
فلا كفرانَ لسعيه (الأنبياء: 94)

I require an editable copy (preferably in Msword format) of the Madina Arabic books and English key book in order to read the same with my screen reading software which I use to read onscreen text (as I am visually challenged).
I have performed an OCR process on the pdf copies of these books, but the results weren’t ideal.
Would you be able to place me in possession of electronic copies of the said books as detailed above?
Jazaakallah khairun
وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله brother/sister

I hope the respected Sheikh and his team are all in good health. Ameen.
I visited drvaniya.com again after a while today, and I was very pleased to see all the new content, Alhamdulillah! May Allah grant the best of reward to the respected Sheikh and his hard working team for such great quality resources. I am unable to express the level of gratitude I have as these resources have enabled me to learn Arabic and connect to Quran. Alhamdulillah!
I want to ask if there is any way I can help you in creating these resources? Being a tiny part of Sheikh’s team will be a huge honour for me.
Please let me know if I can help in any capacity.
Jazakumullahu khaira.

V is for Vaniya, short for Vaniyambadi. The Shaykh is named after the town in which he was born, in India.
Arabic represents V as ف.
