 الحمد لله رب العالمين، له الحمد الحسن، والثناء الجميل، وشد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق، وهو يهد السبيل، وشد أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله وإتعالى today we're going to start the introduction to the history and the formation of Arabic grammar how the Arabic grammar started what was the reason why it started and what was the phases it went through and the stages in which it went through and who are the scholars who wrote in this field and what are the different schools in the Arabic grammar and how do you reconcile between those different schools all of that إن شاء الله وإتعالى will be taken in this module بإذن الله الكريم but today إن شاء الله وإتعالى I want to speak about a couple of points إن شاء الله وإتعالى the first thing I want to speak about is the importance of learning the Arabic language and how important it is I'll also be speaking about إن شاء الله وإتعالى this belief that many have that the Arabic language is hard it can't be learned it's not for me where these claims come from and what the response are and finally I will mention practical steps if you take you can truly إن شاء الله وإتعالى gain good understanding of the Arabic language and grasp the Arabic language إن شاء الله وإتعالى but the first thing I want to start with is the importance of the Arabic language the importance of learning the Arabic language the Quran that we have my beloved brothers and sisters is in this language from all of the languages that we see in the entire world that was the only languagerocchiouz to convey his message wasn't what language it was in your Arabic language no other language and the reason why he done that is because the Arabic language is the best of languages and remember these five because they're very vital the best language that اللعنة اختر was the Arabic language the best language and Allah chose it to convey his message and that's which language the Arabic language and Allah chose the best of mankind نبي الله محمد the second one is Allah chose the best of mankind and who was the best of mankind نبي الله محمد the third one is Allah chose the best of places to send the first portion of the Quran to and that was in where نكا and Allah chose سبحانه وتعالى the best book to نبي الله محمد this book is better than all of the previous books that came and the fourth one is sorry the fifth one is the best time it was in the month of رموبان in which night ليلة القدر those five have all been gathered for the for us we have the best prophet we have the best language the best time the best book on the best of mankind my beloved brothers and sisters the Arabic language is the language of every Muslim it's the language of what every Muslim every Muslim's language is the Arabic language ولي ذلك الشيخ الإسلام بيبنوطيميا he said الإسان العربي the Arabic language is شعار الإسلام it's the symbol of الإسلام and the people of the people of الإسلام it's the language و اللغات من أعظم الشعائر الأممي التي بها يتميزون لانوجي are one of the greatest things that distinguishes nations from one another so the Arabic language is a what it's an Islamic symbol remember that it's your language your first language is the Arabic language الله سبحانه وتعالى when he put this Quran down he sent it at a time as he always word سبحانه وتعالى الله always sent miracles and prophets and the miracles that he sent on each prophet was what the best thing at that time whatever they thought that they reached the pinnacle in الله will send a prophet that will come with a miracle that would be mind boggling to them نبي الله موسى magic was the the thing was all about magic and Allah gave نبي الله موسى أوات he gave him a miracle which was that he stick would turn into a سعبان a big snake نبي الله عيس this time it was medicine that was what they were they reached a pinnacle in so Allah gave عيس سبنه مريم the ability with his permission سبحانه وتعالى to bring the dead to life again with whose permission with الله سبحانه وتعالى's permission meaning everything they came with that prophet would come with something that was greater و لذلك at the poet he said جاء النبيون بالآيات فانصرمت وجئتنا بحكيم غير منصرمي آيات كل ما طال المدى جدد يبينهن جمال العتق والقدمي every prophet he came with a miracle and when that prophet went the miracle went with him except muhammad sallallahu peace be upon him the miracle he came with was the Quran and of course he did come with other miracles but the biggest of them was the Quran even though he is gone the miracle of the Quran is still what still going on still continuous hasn't stopped every time you read the Quran the gems and the jewels that are in it keep coming out آيات كل ما طال المدى جدد يبينهن جمال العتق والقدمي every time and the time that goes on the Quran amazement comes out from it it didn't perish nor did it go sallallahu aleyhi wasallam the Quran came at a time when the Arabs were at the pinnacle of eloquency ولي داري كدوا Arab poets شعراء poets and they would stick their poetry on the Kaaba which was named معلقات what does a معلقة mean معلقة is something you tie somewhere you dangle it from somewhere the first of those معلقات the first of those poets was a man by the name of امر قيس امر قيس was 150 years between him and the prophet sallallahu aleyhi wasallam and there were 10 of them they were the chosen ones they would come to the Kaaba or they would come to the seasonal time when the people come to the market and to buy and they would speak their poetries so their poetries was written in ink of gold and it was stuck into the Kaaba that's the time that the Quran came down and الله تعالى he challenged them he said come with something like this and Allah said in the Quran وإن كنتم في ريب مما نزلنا على عبدنا فأتوا بصورة من مثله ودعوا شهاداءكم وإن دون الله إن كنتم صادقين فإن لم تفعلوا ولم تفعلوا فاتقوا النار التي وقودها الناس والحجارة وعدت للكافرين وإن نضع أي الله سيس قل لأين جتمعات الإنسو والجن على أن يأتوا بمثل هذا القرآن لا يأتون بمثله ولو كان بعضهم لبعض ضهرا الله سبحانه وتعالى he said if you are in state of doubt of this Quran وإن كنتم في ريب مما if you are in doubt of this book and you don't believe it's from Allah فأتوا بصورة من مثله come with one of its chapters one sura the smallest sura sura 2 القوثر come with the likes of this call your witnesses in the other ayah ودل الله سيقل لأين جتمعات الإنسو والجن if they all come together to come with the likes of this Quran they will never be able to come with the Quran الله says ولو كان بعضهم لبعض ضهرا if they even aided one another and they helped each other are we all together brothers in another ayah الله تعالى he said ولقد ضربنا في هذا القرآن من كل مثل we have given examples and parables examples in the Quran لعلهم يتذكرون the reason why we gave these parables in the Quran is that the people componder over it and look at it and analyze the Quran and then Allah says قرآن عربيا غيرا العيواجن it's a Quran that doesn't have no crookedness in it you know what some of the scholars they said the reason why it doesn't have crookedness in it is because it's in which language it's in the Arabic language it's the only language that can convey the message like that it's the only language that can convey the message like that the Quran doesn't have no it's a Quran which is upright it's consistent قرآن عربيا غيرا العيواجن لعلهم يتقون so you can come with what so you can come with Taqwa some of the scholars they took from that through the Arabic language people can really gain Taqwa from it after Allah mentioned the Arabic language is mentioned in Taqwa in the same context are we all together brothers because to really gain e-man boost from the Quran it cannot fully be accomplished in any other language other than the Arabic language الله says in another ayah وإنه لتنزيل رب العالمين نزل به الروح الأمين على قلبك لتكون من المنذين بلسان عربي مبين this Quran is in what language Arabic clear Arabic language again no other language can be spoken clearly other than the Arabic language and that can convey Allah's message the way He wants it other than the other Arabic language so can you fulfill the obligation of pondering on the Quran if you don't know the Arabic language brothers can you come with the ayah أفلا يتدبرون القرآن أم على قلوب أقفالها أفلا يتدبرون القرآن ولو كان من عند غير الله لو وجدوا فيه اختلافا كثيرا أفلا يتدبروا القور all of those verses are saying why do they not ponder on the Quran so to ponder means you understand what you're pondering on if you don't know that language of the Quran you can truly not come with the ability to really ponder and to take benefits out of the Quran the way it should be وذلك الباقلاني look what he said something very good he has a book with عجاز القرآن he said something he said the person whose language is not the Arabic language means he doesn't speak the Arabic language he doesn't know the Arabic language so he's a foreigner he doesn't know the Arabic language they cannot know the miracles in the Quran isn't the Quran the miracle that we have today this miracle you cannot truly have the ability to understand it if you don't have the Arabic language the only thing that you can say is I know that no one can come with the life of the Quran that's the only way that you know it's a miracle but you don't know it's a miracle because of the meaning that is in it because you are what you don't know the Arabic language you don't know the Arabic language فارقارين مسلم ما من الأنبياء there was no prophet من نبي إلا قد أُعطي من الآيات ما مثله آمن عليه البشر every prophet, Allah gave him a wat a miracle for his people to follow him every prophet and I told this before at the beginning every prophet was given miracles for him to use لذلك الناس يستطيعون أن يتبقونه وانظروا what the Prophet said وإنما as for كان اللدي أوتي توحيين the one that I was given was a revelation أوحاه الله إليه this Quran is the one I was given فأرجو and because of this Quran I hope أكون أكثر متابع عن يوم القيامة and because of it I hope to have the most followers the day of judgment so what miracle did the Prophet point towards which language is this miracle in it's in the Arabic it's in the Arabic language ولذلك نبي الله محمد one of the things Allah said that he gave him uniquely of all of the other prophets was what he said I was given جوامع الكلم do you know what جوامع الكلم means it means I could speak little in wording but powerfully meaning eloquence in his speech صلى الله عليه وسلم a man came to the Prophet he said قولي في الإسلام قولا say to me in Islam means say something to me that I will not need to ask anyone after you just tell me something I will not I just want you give it to me what did the Prophet say to him قول أمان تبي الله ثم استقن say I believe in Allah and be what look how smooth that is say I believe in Allah and be what steadfast that's the whole religion I believe in Allah and be steadfast in small sentence what did he say صلى الله عليه وسلم so much volumes can be written on it صح عليه صلى الله عليه وسلم إبن رجب الحمب لي has a كتاب called على علم الخلف in this book do you know what he talks about he talks about the knowledge of the سلف compared to the knowledge of the خلف which is us the late comers and you know what he says the virtue of the early generations knowledge compared to the late ones do you know what he said the difference was the early generation they will speak little but have a big effect in what they say we would speak for a long time but really what do you take from it not much substance so who goes back to brothers what the Arabic language شيخ الإسلام إبن تيمي look what he said he said معلوم when it is known أن تعلم العربية تلاني the Arabic language وتعليمها and teaching it فرضون على الكفاية it's a communal obligation there has to be a group of people who are out there teaching the Arabic language or if not we're all sinners فرضون كفاية what does it mean إذا قام بيه بعد سقط عن الباقين if a group of people stand up to teach the Arabic language then that's good but if no one teaches the Arabic language we are all sinning it's a communal obligation look what he says وكالسلف the self of this umma they used to discipline their children beat them we're going to see some examples later on what if they grammatically spoke wrong عمر he used to hit his children he used to beat them if they didn't and he would discipline them if they grammatically spoke wrong what would عمر do if he saw people who don't even know if the difference between here he's disciplining his children and what what is he disciplining them on they speak in Arabic but they're just doing a grammatical mistake here and there فناحنو يبنو تيمير carries on saying فناحنو we are أمر إي جابن it's obligatory mandatory or it's highly recommended أن نحفظ القانون العربي and the principles of the Arabic language ونصلح ألصنا and that we correct our tongue المائيلة عنه that has deviation in it the incorrectness that's in our tongue that we get rid of it فيحفظ لنا فيحفظ لنا so it can be protected for us طريقة فهم الكتاب والسنة the way to understand the book and the sunnah to understand the Quran and the sunnah and correct your tongue from Arabic mistakes are we all together brothers is that it he went on to say in another place رحمه الله إعلمنو أن اتياد اللغة using the Arabic language consistently and continuously brothers pay attention to this this is very powerful يؤسروا في العقلي it affects your intellect لاني the Arabic language will affect the way you think okay والخلق وديلي and it will also affect your manners and it will also affect your religion just by speaking Arabic your أقل will increase he said your religion will increase and your manners is going to increase تأثيراً قوياً بيناً إبنو تيما said it will affect greatly clearly three things the way you think your أقل it will affect what the way you carry yourself and your manners and it will also affect your religion brothers if you don't know the Arabic language you are not allowed to do each tihad one of the conditions of each tihad is that you know the Arabic language what does it mean it means independent reasoning to go to the Quran and the sunnah and to extract from it rulings you have to know the Arabic language you are never going to be a مجتهد and you spend the rest of your life being a مقلد a blind follower and a مقلد brothers is what a مقلد is like a dead body in front of the person who is washing him you are nothing somebody else is controlling your religion for the rest of your life somebody is going to be telling you what your lord is saying to Allah the Arabic language is vital brothers if you want to go to the sources directly if you go to the books of this is what you find they add to the conditions of each tihad learning the Arabic language سبكي says when he speaks about شروط المجتهد he says وتصريفا you have to know the Arabic language you have to know grammar you have to know morphology morphology is what بينية الكلمة you have to learn the construction of words بفعل للفعل ذو التجريد أو فعلة يأتي ومقصور يأتي ومقصور عين أو على فعل وضم من فعل في المضارع تحموض على الكسري في المبنيه واجهان فيه من احسب مع وغرطة وحرطة these are words in Arabic language فعل فعل فعلة what's the difference these are morphological the word and how it's scaled according to the scholars of the language you have to know this it's a condition الابصحاقة الشيرازي ان الكتابة اللمع he says the same he says ويعرفوا طرق التي يعرفوا بها ما يحتاجوا إليه من الكتاب والسنة سيوطي said something very powerful that touched me really and I want all of you to pay attention to this جلال الدينة سيوطي said something very powerful please listen to this he transmitted a statement from who said this statement الامام الشافعي سيوطي mentioned this in his Kitab صون المنطق he said الامام الشافعي محمد امدلسا شافعي just to mention شافعي was a proof in the Arabic language are you the brothers الامام الشافعي he was a what حجة في اللغة the language used to reference him like عبد ملك ابن قريب الأصمعي who we're going to see later who was imam in the language he said I took from شافعي the poetry of the people of Hudayl I read it from شافعي اللي باب الشافعي شافعي when he was a young kid when he finished the Quran when he finished the Quran he was two years old when his mom bought him to Makkah his father died his father died when he was very little he didn't see his father his mother raised him his mother brought him to Makkah and he was two years old he was two years of age الامام الشافعي his mother didn't even have money to pay for his مدرسة so he went to the Kitab the teacher said you don't have to pay anything just learn he used to teach the Quran and then after that when he finished the Quran شافعي went to the outskirts of Makkah where did he go to the outskirts of Makkah why did he go to the outskirts of Makkah to sit with the Bedouins and take from them what the Arabic language the pure clean untampered with Arabic language especially the people of Hudayl that tribe he went to them he sat with the people of Hudayl and he took from them keeping in mind شافعي is Quraish he is Mutalibi عبد مراف had four kids عبد مراف how many kids did he have had four sons from the sons is Hashim نبيله محمد came from it the second child was what مطالب who came from Mutalib شافعي شافعي goes back him and the prophet meet in عبد مراف المام الشافعي هاشم مطالب نوفل and عبد الشمس those four were brothers هاشم and مطالب which is شافعي and who the prophet are the two closest one than the other two brothers there's a history behind that if you read the Seerah when Allah talks about أهل البيت وعلموا أن مغنيمت من شيء فأن لله خموسه وليه الرسول وليه ذي القربة وليه ذي القربة he is referring to بني هاشم and بني مطالب not the other two brothers يسألوا عبد الشمس أثمان معافان والإداريكو عثمان معافان came to the prophet he said why is it 4 children who come from عبد مراف 4 of them brothers how is it two they get one fifth of the spoils of war and the other two brothers don't get nothing they're dealt with like the rest of the people and the Prophet said بني مطالب شافعي's family وفور إسلام وفتا إسلام قد يأتي عندما قريب جميع النابي للمحمد وإنهي أنكو أبو طالب في المدينة في الشعب. الآخرين الذين كانوا بوطالب في الشعب كانوا باني هاشيم ووهو. باني موطالب لقد كانوا بوطالب في الشعب. جميع الآخرين الذين كانوا بوطالب في الشعب وأن of that they go up a hand. شايفع was from that tribe. even then it didn't stop him from learning the Arabic language. he sat down brothers and he learned the Arabic language and you know what he said he said I learned the Arabic language so I can serve fiq. بالله العليو كنبونه عن this. I learned the Arabic language so I can become a good faqi. That's why I learned the Arabic language. So you have to understand the Arabic language brothers. Look at what Imam Shafi' said here. Shafi' said and I really want everybody to write this and memorize this. This is a very important statement Shafi' said. Shafi' said the people did not become ignorant about this religion. وَلَخْتَلَافُواْ and they did not dispute one another. إِلَّا لِتَرْكِيْمْ it's because they forsaked لسان العرب. The Arabic language. وَمَيْلِهِمْ and they turned towards إِلَا لِسانِيْ أَرْتَطَالِيسْ and they turned towards the language of Aristotle. Greek. And they turned away from what language? The Arabic language. Two things he said pay attention to this. He said The people did not become ignorant of their religion. وَلَخْتَلَافُواْ and they did not dispute one another. And become groups. إِلَّا لِتَرْكِيْمْ لِسان العرب. It's because they left the Arabic language. And one of the reasons why deviated groups came is because they couldn't understand the Arabic language. They couldn't understand what the Quran was saying. Well, if you read the books of Aqida you find a lot of the times the scholars would say This group من العجمي أوتو What does that mean? Ignorance of the language brought this problem to them. Ignorance of the Arabic language threw them into what brothers? Into Aqida problem. With that a Bedouin man one time he heard a man recite the Quran. And some of the scholars they mentioned this was one of the reasons why the Arabic grammar was placed. He recited the Quran and he came to the ayah وَأَذَانٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ إِلَا النَّاسِ يَوْمَا الْحَجِّ الْأَكْبَرِيْ أنَّ اللَّهَ بَرِيْءُ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُ That's what the ayah is, right? This man instead of reading it as وَرَسُولُهُ he read it as وَرَسُولُهُ He plays a Kassala there Nothing more, nothing less Let's read it with the Dhamma وَرَسُولُهُ Let's read it like that, which is the way it is If we read it correctly it means Allah and his messenger are free from the hypocrites And if we read it as a Kassala it becomes Allah is free from the messenger and the hypocrites This is a Bedouin man he knows Arabic language very well And so when he heard that the man reading the ayah as وَرَسُولُهِ He said, did Allah free himself from the prophet? Is Allah free from the messenger? If that's the case, so am I I free myself from the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم All because of the way the ayah was read And the issue reached Omar from Al-Khattab And he was informed And he said from that day onwards And he read the Quran if he didn't know the Arabic language Just a Kassala Just a Kassala Nothing big The whole entire meaning changed from إيمان to كفر فح I mean of course the Bedouin man is not a disbeliever because he is ignorant But look how the whole entire verse changed from what he was saying to what it turned into all because of a grammatical mistake And there are many examples in the Quran that are like that For example when the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم Prevented the companions from saying ما شاء الله And what else were they saying before that? وشاء محمد right? ما شاء الله If Allah willed and the prophet Are you with me? What did he prevent them from? He said drop the wow Drop the wow Exchange it with what? ثوم مع a two letter word From شرك to توحيد One letter, شرك Two letters توحيد Does that not show you how important the language is? It does brothers He said don't say And use the wow Because the wow shows that you're connecting Allah's will and the prophet's will together Are we together brothers? So it's very important That the language is land And that's why look what sheikh was saying سيوطي جلال الدينة سيوطي look what he said as well After he brought the words of ألمام الشافعي وقد وجدت سيوطي he said I have found قبل الشافعي before ألمام الشافعي Meaning I saw before ألمام الشافعي Some of the scholars before شافعي they said And they alluded to أشار إلى ما أشار إليه They alluded to شافعي they alluded to Which is that the ignorance And the dispute where did it come from Ignorance of that Arabic language They alluded to it and look what he said أن السبب الابتداع الجهل بالسان العرب The bid'a Where did it come from? Where did the bid'a come from? He said He said One of the places it came from was the ignorance of the Arabic language Are we all together brothers? الرحمن على العرش استوى استوى استوى What changed its meaning brothers? And made it istola Istowa according to the Arabs is على ورتفع Every Arab knew that When did it change from Are you with me brothers? Am I making sense here? وَلِدَا لِكَلَرْنِي The Arabic language is a vital issue Here I'm going to bring you guys some examples Of how The scholars Used to point towards Staying away from grammatical Mistakes And how the Salaf were harsh With anybody who spoke grammatically wrong Let alone ignorant about the Arabic language ابن أبي شيب And narrated in his صحيح عبد الله عبد الله عبد الله He used to beat his child On what? On grammatical mistakes Just like his father would do it عبد الله If he heard his son speak wrong He would beat him So he can correct his tongue أبي ابن كعبن The great companion He said تعلموا العربية كما the same way تعلمون حفظ القرآن The way that you learn the memorization of the Quran Learn the Arabic language The way that you learn And you memorize the Quran What do you need to learn? Learn the Arabic language It's really embarrassing And I hate to put you all under the spotlight But it's really embarrassing To be living in an Arab country And you don't speak the Arabic language It's embarrassing Especially This is your language As I said The Arabic language It's your language It's the language of every Muslim It's not the language of an Arab It's the language of what? Every single Muslim And you speak English And French And Japanese And you don't even speak the Arabic language The language in which In it If you learn The success of this world And it's connected to it Because of the Quran And you can't read it You don't understand it Are you with me brothers? نفصلJean If we go to the ayah On Kaboot right? If you go to that ayah On Kaboot And you bring the tefsir of Imna Abyatim What does it say? الله says In this Quran we give examples We give Imma means Allah says No one understands it Except those who have knowledge عمر입니다مرره He said في القرآن و لا أعلم ماذا يعني بكي طو على نفسي و أقرأ myself ماذا أفعل؟ أقرأ أنا فقط أدخل في العالم و الله أخبريه و أخبريه و أخبريه و أخبريه و لا أفهمه و أقرأ myself أعتقد أن شخص who spent 40 سنة و 30 سنة و لا أعلم القرآن و ماذا يعني? يتحدث عن أحد أخبار هنا الله أخبريه و أقرأ و أعلم هذا اللغة أعلم وقتها أعلمها أو أم تتحرك بشكل أخر أم رضي الله تعالى عن ودري سيتعلم الفرائضة واللحن تعلم الإنهاراتين و تعلم اللغة العربية اللغة العربية تعلمها و سنن تعلم السنة كما تعلمون القرآن و يتعلم القرآن كل ذلك تجدني يتكلم القرآن و يجدون اللغة العربية it's as important حóمة is saying memorizing the Quran memorizing the sunnah memorizing inheritance and memorizing the Arabic language it's the same we'll all do it ابن عبد البر he said اللحنو لحن يعني معرفة وجوه الكلامي وتصرغفه والحجة به يجب أن تلاحظ how the Arabic word is used the forms and the ways that it comes in أبي جعفر he said من فقه الرجل أي من فق is عرفان وهو اللحنة that he learns the Arabic grammar that shows that man is a Fakih if he knows the Arabic language to the extent brothers some of the self they considered it if you read a hadith grammatically wrong that you will fall under the hadith of the Prophet من كذب علي متعمدا فليتب ومقعده من النار anyone who lies about me deliberately let him prepare his place in the hellfire you've lied about the Prophet if you read a hadith grammatically wrong what have you done you've lied about the Prophet how have you lied about the Prophet because when you're reading the hadith you're saying that the Prophet spoke like this and the Prophet never done a grammatical mistake look what أصمعي عبد الملك ابن قريب said إن أخوة فما أخافوا على طالب العلمي the thing that I fear the most for a student of knowledge is إذا لم يعرف النحوة that if he doesn't learn grammar أن يدخل في جملة قول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم من كذب علي متعمدا فليتب ومقعده من النار that he might fall under that hadith لأنه صلى الله عليه وسلم لم يكن يلحنوا فمهما رويتا عنه حديثا ولا حنت فيه كذبت علي every time you read a hadith and you do a grammatical mistake you have lied about the Prophet because you're saying that the Prophet said it like this and if you lied about the Prophet what's going to happen to you prepare your place in the what in the hellfire prepare your place in the hellfire الامام ابن عبد البر ابن عبد البر امام خطيب البغدادي صلى الله عليه وسلم he has a book called جامع لأخلاق الغراوي وأداب السامع where he talks about the student of hadith the hadith student who wants to learn the hadith of the Prophet he placed a chapter in that book of his what did he do? he placed a chapter in there and in that chapter what did he mention? he said learning the Arabic language he said اتغيب في تعلم النهوي والعربية لأداء الحديث بالعبارة السوية learning the Arabic language before you even speak about the Prophet's hadith before you even read and learn the Arabic grammar historically when you look at Islam the non-Muslims used to love to learn the Arabic language the non-Muslims used to like it times have changed the Muslims have forsaken the Arabic language and where have they run to? the English language historically the glory was learning the Arabic language ألمام الحريري you listen to the story ألمام الحريري you as a مقامات but he sent in his كتاب دورة الغواص في أوهام الخواصي listen to the story أن يهوديا جوش من سأل أبا عثمان المازيني جوش من he came to أبا عثمان المازيني جوش man he came to this great scholar of the Arabic language what did he ask him? he asked him أن يقرئه he said please read on me كتاب سيبوه سيبوه was going to be taken who he is is the father of grandma and he goes he is the leader of the school of basala and an Imam عليب نحمزة الكسائنة he is the what? the Imam of the people of Khufa and we are going to speak about that historically later إن شاء الله و تعالى بإذن الله الكريم he said the Jewish man said to أبا عثمان المازيني can you read on me? can you read on me what? the book of سيبوه و دفع إليه and he gave to him مئة دينارين and he gave him how much? 100 what? do you know what the dinar is brothers? yeah, dinar is what? dinar is gold brothers he gave him 100 gold today that is thousands of thousands of dollars he put it in front of the great noble Imam and he said teach me فردها أبا عثمان المازيني pushed the money back to him و لم يفعل أن he didn't do it و كان محتاجا and he really needed the money really needed that money فقال له أبا العباس المبرد another great Imam in the language أبا عباس المبرد and another Imam in the language will mention him إن شاء الله و تعالى as well he said to him لم تقرأه why didn't you read it for him? I take the money you know you needed the money why didn't you just take it? فقاله he said إن في كتاب سيبويه in the book of سيبويه is what? آيات من القرآن there are quranic verses in it فلا أقرأها يهودينا and I'm not going to read it on a Jewish man is it to Islam right? the honor of Islam that a Jewish man would give money لن تقرأه كثيراً what would he do? to learn this language and what happened في عكسة الموازين the scale went upside down now we are paying that much money to learn what the English language we are learning and we give time to learning the English language and we've chosen to turn away from the Arabic language so here إن شاء الله و تعالى I'm going to move on to the next part of my session today which is the claim that the Arabic language is hard the claim that the Arabic language is hard the people who push these brothers to make the Arabic language seem like it's hard and it cannot be learnt and Subhan Allah it's like you're moving a mountain was if you look at it was the the colonials when they came to the Arab countries and the Muslim countries are you with me brothers and they made jokes about the Arabic language if you want to beg learn the Arabic language و هكذا in our country that's the things that were spread by the Italians and the British when they came in especially the Italians if you want to beg learn the Arabic language if you want to insult somebody learn Italian if you want to be educated learn the English language و هكذا the ayat to belittle the Arabic language Arabic language only for begging so what will happen to the person it will become they won't see the language to be something very important so because of that you see people from different Arab countries that can't speak to each other they don't understand each other because they've been all given different dialects and they've been turned away from the what the فصحة and some places when you go to if you speak correct Arabic language to a taxi driver in Arab when you finish he will say صدق الله العظيم هكذا و الله you know they will laugh at you they will mock it they said this is the كلامة بحسن البصر and what are you talking about are you with me brothers so what is it that allowed this to spread in order for us to overcome it is important to respond to it we have to first of all know what are the causes for this claim and this false claim number one try to write this down إن شاء الله و تعالى is the way that it spread that the Arabic language is hard and it cannot be attained is the following reasons number one the passion within the Muslims died out for the Arabic language the people they lost غيرا jealousy love passion for the Arabic language that this is this is your language when somebody says that to you what will happen to you you want to let it go and when somebody tells you that the Arabic language is your is this شاعش is from the what the شاععير of Islam the symbols of Islam and what did Allah say in the Qur'an دالك و من you عظيم شاععير الله فإنها متقوى القلوب the symbols of Islam are you allowed to belittle it ها can't دالكا my country one of the ways that they came to us was that they belittled the Arabs and they belittled the what the Arabic language belittled belittled in the Arabs and belittled in the Arabic language is belittled in the Prophet ﷺ and the language he spoke are you new brothers dangerous what is it it is dangerous so this they take away from you the غيرا what's the best translation for the word غيرا in the English language the protective jealousy leaves you number two believing every single allegation that's made people just believe it without investigating somebody will come up to you and say to your grandma don't even go that path go learn this subject you don't even say okay let me see it for myself you don't do it so people just believe the allegation that the Arabic's grandma is hard it creeps into you because you don't investigate you don't look for it into it yourself are we all together brothers so because of that the allegations that the Arabic language is hard it spreads it spreads the third reason why this allegation spread was because بعفو the weakness in مناهج النحو the curriculums and the syllabus that were made for the Arabic language if you look at the syllabus that are taught in some institutes the Arabic language the syllabus is taught so weak excessively weak the person doesn't have no exercise the weakest curriculum is picked it's not chosen it's not hand picked and because of that when the person says one or two classes what happens he thinks this is not for me and he walks away number three the fourth one four is the teachers that are teaching it are not qualified they themselves don't know the subject they are unqualified teachers who are teaching the subject and so when they come into the classroom they don't come with that passion and that drive and that motivation they scribble things on the board and do you understand now it's up to you and they leave and so what happens if the teacher who's teaching it doesn't like the subject or is not passionate about it of course the students are what I'm not going to feel the same وَلِدَالِكَ that's very common if you go to the ثانوية the secondary schools and you go to the متوسط and the افتدائية and you look at the teachers who teach in the تحفيذ and the مدرسة what type of teachers are they I don't really care they're just but when you go to university and you go to these Harvard and Princeton and Cambridge and Oxford and so neat and tables and everything the teacher comes with passion and drive and are you with me brothers but the Quran class and the Arabic class everything is what quality nothing the way it's done savage the teacher doesn't care this does make the person not feel inclined to learning the Arabic language the fifth is the amount of lectures that are given are literally number for example if it might be 20 subjects 20 hours grandma might be 4 hours 5 hours enough amount of lessons will not be given to grandma that is the least is reduced and so the teachers told take this big curriculum and teach it in a very short period of time are you with me brothers but all of the other subjects good time is given to it also the lack of ability to apply the Arabic group that you learned in the class to apply it out on the streets there's no way to apply it even if you did learn it when you come out you're going to have to speak what not Fusar right the standard Arabic will not be spoken so the person is learning and now I'm had Abitun and when he comes out he can't even say that are you with me brothers he's done had and hadihi but when he comes out he doesn't use had and hadihi that's the user العمية so how can we overcome this and what's the way to practically overcome these problems number one to think that the Arabic language is hard or it's complicated and it cannot be studied is like maths is like any other subject and no subject just because it's hard is it abandoned why is it that only Arabic grammar is abandoned because it's hard or it seemed to be hard if we accept it for the sake of argument that it's hard we don't hear anybody saying maths is hard so yeah don't do it or physics is hard don't do it rather the ratio the ratio of people who are going for these academic sciences which are much harder than the Arabic language are high but those same people will say to you what when you're down here I don't know if you if it's like that back home in India like in my country where I'm from if the person is bright he's sent to academic sciences engineer medicine doctor if he fails in life become an Imam صح is it like that huh say والداليكة the person who's the Imam is a failed person in life he couldn't do anything so he said I might as well just memorise the Qur'an هكذا صح والداليكة one time I was in a lecture of one of the Mashayikh and one of the students of Sheikh I find it hard to revise in the morning the Sheikh said something I was shocked when he said he said seeking knowledge is not for you go for maths and science and then when he finished as a Sheikh why did you say that to him he said if we take people like him on board they're going to be given faster to the people we need people who are sharp because those are the type of people they used to be when they when it came to seeking Islamic knowledge we're encouraging the wrong people to become something he said failures in life and we're saying do it do it do it he's got a point صح and I don't totally agree with it but the truth is it's like that the person fails in everything he just says okay I'll be the Imam of my local Masjid so the Arabic language brothers it's like any other science it just needs you to think focus and put hard work in like in brothers the Arabic grammar is broken into two two types write this down the Arabic language is broken into how many types? two types جانب a type which is جانب عمليون تطبيقي application the first type is it is practical it's application it's that you have to speak correctly this one is definitely not that hard for sure I mean I speak English and if somebody does a grammatical mistake in the English language I can definitely pick up pick on it and say look that's a grammatical mistake don't say that but if you sometimes ask me how do you know this is wrong I would say to Allah but I know it's wrong so the جانب عمليون تطبيقي صح we all know that right generally in every same might apply to you in your your mother tongue language you may know if anybody speaks wrong you say stop saying that that's wrong if you ask you grammatically grammatically explain to me why I'm wrong you'll say I don't know just listen to me صح correct so this one is not what majority of the people are talking about when they say the Arabic language is hard because that's easy that just needs you to what it needs you to immerse immerse with the people who are speaking the language and just keep talking talking talking and you'll pick up like in the second one which is جانب عمليون دقيق this is نظري it's جانب عمليون نظري oh yes why did you say جعذادن and not زيدن or زيدان how did you say زيدن are you new brothers why did you say جعذادن رأيت زيدان مارارت بزيدن look at listen to the word زيد what happened? انتظروا وصفوا النار زيد ماذا حدث بزيد جاءة just focus on زيد جاءة زيدون رأيتوا رأيتوا زيدا مررتوا بزيدين what happened to زيد it changed right this is what جاءة فاعل فاعل زيد جاءة جاءة sorry زيدون is a فاعل صحيح ان استفع فاعل the subject جاءة لسا و جاءة جاء فعل ماضي مبنى على الفتح لا محل لهم من العراب زيدون زوات فاعل جاءة مرفوع وعلامة رفعه ضمت ضاهرة على آخره رأيتوا رأى فعل ماضي مبنى على السكون مبنى على الفتح ونسيد التاضمين متصل في محل رفع فاعل زيدا مفعل به منصوب وعلامة نصبه الفتح ضاهرة على آخره are you with me brothers don't worry if you don't know it now you will insha'Allah تعالى مررتوا مر مررتوا we can say two ways we can say فعل ماضي مبنى على السكون لا محل لهم من العراب التاضمين متصل في محل رفع فاعل بقى حرفه من حروف الجري زيدين اسم مجرور وعلامة جري كسرة راهرة على آخره that's why this is زي دون this is زي دن and this is زي دين جرماتيكلي did that make sense to all of you guys yeah no don't worry that's the part that may be hard for some people are you with me brothers لكن عرم might look at that and know what you say if it's right or if it's what or if it's wrong he will know that but the point brothers is this is the part that's generally hard for some people that's the point number one i want all of you all of you to remember insha'Allah تعالى the second way to all to make the Arabic language easier and to make people enjoy your brothers is the methodology the methodology of learning the Arabic language brothers can make it very the methodology of learning the Arabic language brothers can make it very exciting if a correct منهدية is taken and when it comes to the Arabic language the person should take these books first you can say both ways it's said second book that you should study is the third book that you should study is which is مفهولوجي then the person does those are the five books in grammar easy simple and this one is one thousand lines in grammar that's the last book that's the methodology that you take when you study grammar are we all together brothers am i making sense here the next point is finding a teacher who's qualified who knows the subject and enjoys teaching the subject are we all together brothers والله when the teacher enjoys the subject and he loves his subject and he finds joy in it i promise he will make the students enjoy it are you with me brothers it depends it depends on teacher who's teaching it if he loves it and he enjoys it and he likes it but if he's just there to take his monthly salary huh and that's all he's waiting for الان شكول عايب you're not going to enjoy that subject and you're not going to learn it because he doesn't care he does not he does not care also brothers is to know that the one of the greatest among the greatest scholars in this language a lot of them were blind they couldn't even see for a subject that really requires observation and looking and thinking and everything a lot of them were blind from them for example is he was blind مع ذلك he was from the great scholars of the arabic language the same applies to محمد من مقرم الانصاري سعيد من المبارك who was known as and this brother shows you it's really how much effort that you put in something the poet he said الانائن والفنون وجنون some people like it shocks me you want to wake up one day and just become a grammarian the poet he said you want to wake up you wish to wake up one morning and become a فقي who's who's strong in his arguments and then he look what the poet said he said craziness it comes in different ways and shapes and this is one of them to wake up and just become a grammarian or to wake up and to become a overnight that doesn't happen and it hasn't happened for anybody listen to this story and i'm going to conclude there إن شاء الله و تعالى and this story is خاليد من عبدالله الأسهري he used to he used to they say he used to light the candles in the university of are you with me brothers in أزهر when the students were studying he was a man who had a good heart so what he used to do is just to walk around with the and he used to pour the tea for the students and put the candle on for them and that's what he used to do خاليد من عبدالله الأسهري one day what happened was as he always used to do that one day what he did was by accident he the candle fell onto the students notes and it fell onto him when it fell onto him he set him يا جاهل you ignorant individual what are you doing look where you خاليد من عبدالله الأسهري that hurt him so much he's here caring for the students what's خير جلها he set him you ignorant individual what are you doing look where you're pouring i'ma look what you're doing so what did he do he stopped that day on with he did not do that anymore what did he do he went towards the arabic language until he became the seba way of his time he has one of the best books in arabic language from them is one of the best books he has he this book i'm telling you the last book you know what he did to it he did إعراب of the whole poetry the one thousand lines of poetry of ابن ماريكس الفية he did إعراب of it he grammatically analyzed every single word in the الفية are you new brothers and he has a kitab called one of the best books it's called موصل الطلاب موصل الطلاب some scholars call it some scholars call it موصل الطلاب which is a شرح of قواعد الإعراب by ابن شيه حشام الأنصاري's كتاب he explained it he became an Imam and this brothers what does it bring us to it brings us to how these people when they were told go for this do this you can do it they would go for it the poetry he said don't mention us next to these people we're like when nothing like them ابو عمر من العلق who is the Imam in the arabic language he's from the one of the Qur'an one of the Qur'an you know the Qur'an right from one of the Qur'an of the Qur'an the Qur'at he's one of the Imam he's a محدث scholar of hadith he was a مفسر he was a فقي everything you know what he said he said we what are we compared to the old the people before us he's from the self he's saying that what are we compared to those who came before us we're just like a mushroom you know what a mushroom is under a big tree that's how we are so brothers please give time to learning the arabic language don't take it lightly you're not going to really understand the Qur'an you're not going to understand what the prophet is saying imagine brothers your father wrote you a letter you died and a letter from your father came to you and he wrote it in a language that you can't understand what would you do بالله عليكم you will ask somebody to explain it for you right and you would want to know what your father said to you right what about what Allah said to you the Qur'an has come to you from your lord and this Qur'an you have been told ولا يشقى في الدنيا ولا يشقى في الأخرة انت gonna find prosperity in this world and hereafter your khair of this world and the khair of hereafter is connected to this مصحف this Qur'an how do you know how how how can it happen and you don't understand it and a lot of you are in this country a muslim country find an institute find somewhere أردت أن أتكلم للمنزل أتكلم هذا المنزل إنه أصدقائك سأكمل مع كتابة كتابة أي شيء الذي أخبرت أنه صحيح هو مني الشيطان أن الله و his messenger are free from it سبحانك اللهم أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفرك أتوب إليه أي سؤال سأعلم سأعلم في أعبال أعبال كما في هذه الأسئلة لا نفعل أعبال كذلك لا نفعل أي أعبال نحن سأتكلم عن أصدقائك أم لا هل نمتع أخبارنا ما سنفعل؟ أصدقائك كيف أصدقائك أم أول أخبارك كيف أصدقائك سأتكلم عن أصدقائك أم أول أخبارك ما سنفعل نحن سأتكلم عن أصدقائك كذلك لكن كيلي مهز يوجد يوجد يوجد يوجد يوجد يوجد يوجد هل نمتع أخبارنا لكن نبدأ من أجرومية وننفعلها ثم نذهب من متممة الأجرومية ثم نذهب إلى الأفعال ثم نذهب إلى قطر الندى وبلغ صدق ثم نذهب إلى الفيتر ونضع نضع إن شاء الله لذا لذا مجول نتفهم عن حساب ونفهم عن أصدقائك هذا هو ما نتفهم هذا هو مرحب ولكن من يجب أن يتفهم عن أرابيك ها everybody some of you still don't want to study it who felt that this class increased their want for learning the Arabic language الله أكبر then put it into action إن شاء الله can go and start looking up a place where you can learn it even if you don't get it I saw with my two eyes brothers who were in the UK who went on Skype and what's this sir there's some teachers in Egypt who you just have to send them money there's a little program like that and they will teach you online and some brothers they graduated and they learned it properly like that so whatever is feasible for you that can work for you the point at the end of the day is that you come with what the knowledge of this language brothers look think about it like this the Quran is explained by who a scholar right when you read let's say ابن كثير this is the Quran ابن كثير what did he do he explained the Quran he's given you what he understood from the Quran true or false we all together brothers you're not going to the Quran directly yourself you're going through who so there's already between you and ابن كثير what the person who doesn't know the Arabic language is another person between you what is there this person's understanding of what ابن كثير said but we all together brothers so it got longer for you the problem there am I making sense brothers so you're reading what somebody understood from ابن كثير is كلام which that ابن كثير رحم الله what he understood from the verse am I making sense here brothers so this is something you can eliminate get rid of this one and as time goes on with the knowledge that increases in your heart you should go to the Quran yourself and the sunnah to become from the aim of which the great scholars who can read look at the Quran just like ابن كثير did and others did but the first step is to learn this language one statement my teacher said I never forget it it sticks on my head this speech I have never forgot it he said something to me he said to me 20 years if somebody was seeking knowledge before you 20 عشرين سنة how many years 20 years he was seeking knowledge before you and you started now he said if you study Arabic grandma and you learn it you will catch his 20 years and wallahi I believe that 20 years he's in طلب العلم but he didn't do the Arabic grammar the way you're going to do it now when you start if you go for Arabic grammar straight away and Arabic language straight away and you master it you'll catch his 20 years or by studying what it's the key brothers wallahi it's a key it's very belittled and it's put down like in the Arabic language it's vital very very important very important to give time to learning the Arabic language learning the Arabic poetry the أشعار looking into it are you with me brothers do you guys know شخصالة عالي الشيخ have you heard of شخصالة عالي الشيخ هي ما شخ محمود شاكر you know of have you heard of شخ محمود شاكر yeah شخ محمود شاكر محمود شاكر محمود شاكر they call him أبو العروبة the father of Arabic محمود شاكر was an imam the Arabic language كتاب كده رسالة إلى تقافته بحاوفه بك على كل حال محمود شاكر رحمه الله صالح عالي الشيخ متن صالح عالي الشيخ from who محمود شاكر is Arabic language are you with me brothers so he said what can I do what can one do how can one attain this and everything he said read يسان العرب يسان العرب is a what 20 something volume Arabic dictionary said read it شخصالة بيك بوك you know شخ محمود شاكر then Arabic is not for you look for something else look for another job he said we read this book more than once with our شيخ are you with me brothers Arabic dictionary بالشيخ محمود الأمين الشاكر صالح عالي محمود الأمين الشاكر he memorized the dictionary Arabic dictionary من ضحر القلب are you with me brothers he memorized the dictionary when he would do he would use the Arabic language on a calaba very high are you with me brothers محمود الأمين الشاكر master the language master the language so brothers it's important that we give time to the language it's important that we what it's important that we give time to the Arabic language there's a little risala I have at home it's a little risala it makes you really sad when you look at it the battle against the Arabic language the book is called all it talks about is في ميدان العل it talks about the concept of the Arabic language how the west they pick funds money money money is spent just so the people don't learn the Arabic language and they learn what you see an Arab who can speak Arabic language that's what they want to see so they can put all their ideologies into you are you with me brothers because then you can watch their movies you can watch everything from them and that's it and you're ignorant about what your own book the most important book Allah said you don't even know it but you're keeping up track with everything else and it allows us to greatly strongly hold on to our Deen and make us understand the value of this language سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشد ولا إله إلا الله
