Arabic Course (3 Vol. Set)
About This Set
The Arabic Course for English-Speaking Students by Dr. V. Abdur Rahim teaches the Arabic of the Qur'an and the classical tradition. It was first developed and taught at the Islamic University of Madinah for students who do not speak Arabic, and it aims to give them enough command of the language to go on to study tafsir, hadith, fiqh, seerah, history, and classical and modern Arabic literature.
This three-volume edition has been revised by Dar-us-Salam and printed in full color, with color also used within the text to highlight important points. All three volumes include English lessons. The Arabic lessons begin from the right-hand side of each book and the English lessons from the left-hand side.
