foreign welcome to day one of the dream big intensive I'm going to take a few minutes to explain the format of the class to you some important things that everybody here should know uh before we start taking our journey together uh the first thing I want you to know is class will begin every day at seven sharp if none of you are here I will start at seven sharp if all of you are here I will start at seven sharp there is no exceptions so today because they were setting up we have an extra five minutes taken that will not happen again inshallah I'll be here actually my plan is to be here by six o'clock every day and I will be here setting up making sure everything's going well the ASR prayer here happens at 6 30. and right after the after prayer I'm gonna be back here so about 6 40 or so and those first 20 minutes if you have extra questions something on your mind something you'd like to share you have 20 minutes of freedom to ask me anything you like that's not going to be on the mic it'll be casual so you can just ask any questions you like any discussion you want to have that's your opportunity that's between 6 40 and 7 P.M 7 P.M we start now yes the flyer lied I'm telling the truth okay it's it's 7 P.M okay and that's gonna happen every day inshallah I need the entire time that's just what it is the second thing this is not a lecture this is a class you're not supposed to speak because your good deeds get taken away in Salah you're not supposed to teach speak because you're an arabata to Allah and you've cut off from the world this is not this is not a lecture this is not a YouTube video this is a class you know what that means you can interrupt me at any time you don't even have to raise your hand or stop I'm confused I have a question Etc anytime I will not lose my train of thought I will not get upset with you it is your job to stop me like right now can you you can't hear me you can't hear me clearly okay they're saying there's too much bass on the mic they can't hear me clearly even though you did hear that okay they're trying hard to hear okay let me is this better that's really loud though okay it's less Echo okay fine I'll hold it closer Okay so the first thing is what time are we starting and when am I here for extra questions for answer onwards I'm all yours okay uh 10 o'clock is the I shot prayer here after 10 o'clock I'm gonna run out of here as fast as I can because I want to go home okay so you have me for that time and then after that after I pray Asha here I'm gonna jet to my car and drive back and go to sleep because I need to bring my best energy to you the next day inshallah okay now this is an Arabic class what that means is your questions cannot be about mortgages and Islamic financing and nail polish and beard length and or McDonald's they cannot be about that why because this is what an Arabic class and my job is to do the best I can to teach you the curriculum that I've developed in the best possible way so I have to be one million percent focused and I expect that from you that's the second thing the third thing homework this is important you don't have any because I don't trust you even if I gave you homework you won't do it you just you know when you give people homework the next day the people that have a big smile on their face are the ones that are like I did I didn't do it many of you are working many of you have responsibilities at home making the sacrifice in the evenings is hard enough work I do not expect you to have the time and focus to be able to do any homework assignments in this time in fact we're spending so much time together this will feel like a continuous nightmare I call it the dream program but it's actually a nightmare you feel like you never left that's what it's going to start feeling like when you come back every day okay and there's plenty of review incorporated into the program already so the next thing taking notes during the class taking notes don't take notes don't take until I tell you to take notes don't take notes some of you are you've never taken notes in your life your old notebooks from college and high school look like ancient drawings in a cave that's what you were doing sitting in the classroom others of you meaning the sisters write everything down you guys write everything now you you're like if I sneeze you write down alhamdulillah like that's your chronic note-taking stop because note taking sets your brain on dictation you're just trying to capture every word you're actually not thinking about what I'm saying you're too focused on trying to write everything down because your anxiety that you'll forget later on I understand your anxiety and I've designed this course taking that anxiety into account I will take much better notes than you for this class and for every single day I've taken really nice notes already and I will share them with you every night at the end of the class you're going to get an email all of you that are signed up you're gonna get an email even the folks that are online you're gonna get an email with a summary of that day's class it's called a transcript so there's going to be before 10 pm around 9 55 PM you'll get transcript day one tomorrow you'll get transcript day two and so on and so forth I don't give you homework you know that right but casually casually if you just read through that document the next day first allow yourself to sleep overcome the trauma of the class allow yourself to forget a little bit and then the next day sometime before this class if you just get a chance to read through that a little bit it'll bring everything back and then you're ready for the next day Optimal Performance okay now I don't ask you to take notes for another reason because I don't trust your handwriting if I gave you something to write in Arabic chances are you can't even read it yourself later on because you wrote Bismillah and it looks like Mandarin so anything that had to be written down in Arabic I have already written it down for you so you don't have to worry about that your focus is on Concepts that's what you're so I'm what am I doing in this orientation I'm telling you all the stresses that you have to let go of because I need you focused on one thing all your energy on one thing and anything that gets in its path I'm removing those obstacles from your path okay now I told you don't take notes until when until I tell you why because sometimes it takes me 10 minutes to explain a concept when I'm done explaining the concept I will make you write down two sentences about that concept one or two sentences but because you have the background of those 10 minutes that one sentence or those two sentences are enough for you to remember everything we discussed you with me if I gave you that sentence in the beginning you have no idea what I just told you to do but at the end even that one sentence is the world it's it's very it'll be systematic for you that way okay now here's some other important things how many people have studied some Arabic before or tried okay good so how many people have studied with me before a handful of you okay all right so this is for everyone now just I wanted to get a gauge you should be able to read the Quran in Arabic even if you don't understand it for this class even if your tajuit is not perfect even if you're in and you're bod and your goth are not perfect you should still at least be able to read through the text I will not be teaching you that I'm building on top of that right so now we have to talk to you I have to talk to you about what exactly we're going to be doing and to understand that I want you to know that there are three kinds of Arabic good nobody's writing down okay good spoken standard and classical I just want you don't don't write this down just listen there's three kinds of Arabic what did I say here spoken standard and classical okay I'm gonna take that off the screen three kinds of Arabic spoken that's not the order I gave you no no spoken standard okay English is spoken all over the world but the English people speak in England is not the same as the English people speak in Scotland and the English speak that they speak in Guyana which is very different from the English there's people speak in uh the West Indies which is very different from the Americans and the English people speak in Texas is very different from the English people speak in New York I can tell you the people that speak English in the south have a very different kind of vocabulary than the people that speak English in Massachusetts and in Boston area English goes through lots and lots of changes doesn't it okay well you know what the Arabic that people speak in Algeria is very different from the Arabic that's people people speak in Morocco which is significantly different from the Egyptians very different which is very different from the yemenis which is very different from the sudanis all of them have a different dialect of Arabic what kind of Arabic is that spoken Arabic spoken Arabic Urdu speakers here people speak urduin Karachi people also speak Urdu in Lahore people also speak urduin but is there a difference can you tell from one sentence like you can you tell immediately that dude's not from Karachi I can tell this guy's not from there from the English from the English you can just tell immediately right just like and from the Urdu you can tell immediately from the Arabic you can tell immediately that's spoken Arabic guess what we are not learning in this class spoken Arabic we're not learning that in this class there are many wonderful programs that teach that sort of thing um across the United States in different universities you can specialize in dialects you can learn the Iraqi accent you can learn the Egyptian Arabic you can learn them there are proper studies in that however we're also not going to be learning Standard Arabic let me tell you what Standard Arabic is it's similar to Standard English uh an article written in the New York Times and an article published by the BBC in England and an article published in an Indian newspaper in English and an article written in a Bangladeshi English medium newspaper or website are all what kind of English standard anybody can read that and understand it despite their differences in language you understand there's a common English you can read a British author you can read an American Author you can read a Scottish author you can read an African author if they wrote their book in what Standard English that's that's the common English so Arabic also has a common Arabic that's the Standard Arabic that's the Arabic you find in newspapers it's the Arabic you find on media channels Al Jazeera Etc that's Standard Arabic okay that's the Arabic you find in the beginning of the formal interviews formal discussions those are Standard Arabic also I will not be teaching you Standard Arabic I'm going to be teaching you the building blocks of something else called what very good classical Arabic classical Arabic you know what that means by the end of this class class you still cannot order some baklawa from an Arab restaurant in Arabic because you can't use classical Arabic over there now how many kinds of Arabic are there and what are we going to begin to learn in this class classical Arabic now let's take another step four let me make this bigger four skills question I will explain good question what is the difference between standard and classical Arabic what is the difference between English today and English at the time of Shakespeare is there a difference over time the Expressions the grammar the sentence structure did it go through changes the the base stayed the same but some things were differently said and differently spelled in Shakespearean English that is no longer alive or relevant today right so you don't go to uh Starbucks and say has thou possesseth a grande you you can't use that anymore because that English is for that time you understand so what happens to every language is over time as the world changes and different societies interact and Technology changes language changes in fact that happened to English even now Standard English now if you say to somebody that the president tweeted something insane the president tweeted something insane if somebody said that 30 years ago and they they wrote a piece the president tweeted something insane would that make any sense 30 years ago 40 years ago would it make sense no why because the technology had an impact on the language if somebody told you in the early 90s hey you know uh I saw your Facebook I saw your Facebook you would think they're a serial killer and they have a collection of cut out pictures of you and that you that doesn't make any sense because the technology didn't exist so these words did not exist you understand and the way we're using them didn't exist the Arabic at the time of the Quran the world was a certain way and the Arabic was a certain way did the world keep changing ever since and as the world kept changing ever since do you think the changing world has an impact on language right so the standard keeps shifting as the world shifts when I say classical Arabic I'm trying to take you back to the standard of Arabic before Islam won before Islam became Victorious because actually for language Let me before I go to this before Islam became Victorious Arabic was preserved in the desert wasn't it and then when Islam became Victorious we started taking over Roman territory and Persian territory and Asian territory and African territory and all these different cultures are now accepting Islam and they're all learning Arabic maybe thousands of 1500 years ago people are learning Arabic like you're sitting here learning Arabic right is there Arabic high level or is it low level when they're starting it's low level and over time the overall sophistication of Arabic is going down because people are just the majority of the people are not Arab and they don't have the classical tongue just think of the way what local languages do we have here call out some languages that you your grandmother speaks I want to hear the grandmother's language what are they Punjabi Bangla Gujarati Pashto ordo kashmiri Farsi the Shakur anybody else anything any other languages here English Tamil is it true that your grandmother's language was more sophisticated than the grandkids language right did it change did they have a wider vocabulary did they appreciate poetry more did they have more Grand words and verbs to use in their life and we just became like lesser so over time language what happens to it it gets simpler and the ancient language was more rich and more dense and more poetic and more philosophical and the Arabs they were out in the desert they were out in the desert in the middle of nowhere and they had you know you may have heard this before the Arabs were really proud of their language you ever heard that before you know one of the reasons the Arabs were so proud of their languages they didn't have anything else to be proud of what are they going to be proud what do they build what what Coliseum did they build what pyramids did they build before Islam what were the Arabs doing there were Bedouins and they had some Empires that collapsed but overall the Arabs were in isolated people especially in hijaz they were in isolated people they were doing some trade but there were no superpowers they were not players on the world scene so they were isolated and they were in what kind of a climate is hijaz what kind of an environment natural environment is it it's desert in the desert do you have a lot of scenery or a lack of scenery you have a lack of scenery you get to see the stars a lot you get to see the desert but not much else so you know what happens in that environment your imagination is filled with the Stars your imagination is filled with the desert landscape you come up with a hundred different words for the horse you come up with lots of different words to describe a camel and a sword right you have entire genres of poetry dedicated to the Stars naming each star you know this is what they did because their imagination became wild because they were living in such a an isolated kind of world isolated kind of environment when Islam won did it say like that no we became an international Multicultural multi-continental religion didn't we so there's the language is getting affected isn't it I'll give you as a joke but it's reality some of the worst English spoken on planet Earth is spoken in New York City it was also spoken in London some of the worst on Earth you know why because these cities became cultural centers where people from all over the world flew in so they were all learning English as a second language and so the overall English went talent and it keeps going down it keeps doing that some of the worst Arabic you will ever hear in your life is in Makkah some of the worst Arabic why why is the worst Arabic in Makkah I was so excited the first time I went to Makkah after studying Arabic I was like yeah Quran and I go and I see a uh a Senegalese woman arguing with uh Bangladeshi customer at one of those shops and the Bangladeshi guy and she's era she's saying glees he's Bangladeshi and she's saying to him Pancho real pancherial Pancho real foreign what's going on here and then I went to an Arab I didn't know where to go I lost my way couldn't find a hotel couldn't get data on my phone I said he goes see that's not Arabic when I say classical I mean the Arabic before Islam became Victorious basically Arabic before it got contaminated by other cultures you understand and actually this was one of the most important preservation movements in early Islam we didn't just preserve the Quran we didn't just preserve Hadith we actually made an equally powerful movement to preserve the Arabic of the desert not the Arabic of Baghdad not the Arabic of kufa not the Arabic you know in in Basra but the Arabic in the hijazi desert how are the Bedouins talking how do they use that word you may have heard romanticized stories about Scholars who spent 20 years traveling the desert one of them they were seeking one of the knowledge they were seeking is just to sit around and watch people talk just so they can document to use that word this way they use this word this way they use this word this way and we documented entire lexicons like one day you'll get there so what happens when you study a word in the English dictionary you study a word in the English dictionary you go to the dictionary it tells you what it means and how is how many ways you can use it when you go to an Arabic lexicon you'll see the word and then you'll see the way the Arabs and the deserts used to use it and then somebody found a poem in which they use that word and the different variations of that word you get an entire story of that word every word becomes a story that's what kind of Arabic classical Arabic that's classical Arabic and Standard Arabic and classical Arabic have a millennium and a half between them so they have many things in common but many things are also what different many things that the base is the same the base is the same but classical Arabic is much more Rich yes question okay so it seems like classical Arabic is way more complicated and harder to learn so why wouldn't they just make it easy yes it's dead Islam kept it alive the Quran kept it alive but what what our what scholarship did in Islam is amazing we preserved the ancient grammar we preserved the ancient vocabulary and we passed it down generation after generation so even a scholar studying in India a scholar studying in Indonesia a scholar studying in Taiwan a scholar studying anywhere in the world when they're studying Arabic they go back to what sources the classical sources now the problem was the classical sources are classical sources they're really hard they're really hard really complicated stuff my mission is to start you off at the super basic level build your foundation and get you ready for more and more difficult challenges but by the time you get to the hard stuff it's already easy for you because the foundation is solid and the hardest part of the entire classical Arabic journey I would argue the hardest part is two things you're not taking any notes yet no notes yet the hardest part of classical Arabic study are two things called and that's the hardest part everything else after that piece of cake don't write this down Haram I like no the hardest part of learning Arabic is what two things okay this is okay now you already know how to read the Quran but you want to take your first steps you got to learn these two weird words question um classical mean Arabic is actually two things or the the the hardest part of it is two things let me tell you what now mean basically I'm going to write an English sentence down for you okay I was teaching Arabic my class was late they avoided eye contact with me because latecomers they just right okay where are the words for myself I where else my me no these we don't have pronoun confusions here the three pronouns for myself are I my and me that's it okay so now if you had a picture next to the word I it would be my picture if you had a picture next to my it would be my picture if you had a picture next to me it would also be my picture so maybe I should say Maya was teaching Arabic I class was lit they avoided eye contact with my what would be the problem with by the way if you spoke like that somewhere in Jackson Heights somebody understands you in New York okay however what would be the problem with this if I move them around you know what the problem would be you're using incorrect new word for you you're using incorrect what now who's basically grammar now who is basically what grammar okay so if I say I teach they did so so goodly okay I teached it so goodly that would be bad what that's bad now you with me the hardest thing about classical Arabic is what getting the natural right grammar right okay done but I gave you two words that are hard what are the two words son I'm going to give you not Arabic style for example I'll give you an English self example somebody says what do you do for a living and I say I am a teacher minator what what what should I have said I'm a what teacher the word is teach and if you do the act of teaching you become a teacher but I had just seen when I was I was influenced by the movie Terminator so I wanted to become a teacher manator okay or somebody says to a scholar what do you do and he says I am an echo Dem addition you could be an academic or you could be an academician you know what that is that's not bad not that is that's bad word that's bad slav the word should have been academic but you're making it into academic Edition and teacherminator you with me soft means there's a system by which you create new words and you have to learn that system to to know when are you going to use teacher and when are you going to use academic you with me that's a problem of not nahu but a problem of so nahu is more about who is more about the sentence isn't it now who is more about the sentence and sarf is more about the word right using the right word would be surf using the right kind of word in the right kind of sentence that would be what how do you use the right word in the right place in the right sentence so it's more focused on the senses okay now last part of the introduction this has been long enough of an introduction four skills to learn any language I'm going to take your vote on this there are four there's no fifth I want you to I want to hear from you what do you think are the four skills if you had them I would say you know that language okay uh I'll say listening comprehension not just listening but listening because you could listen to an Arab talk to you and you'd be like I mean you're listening but without comprehension so I would say one the first one is what listening comprehension okay second one reading [Music] because you're reading Quran right now too right thank you reading with comprehension isn't it because reading without comprehension masha'allah the ummah is very good at it we're very good at it okay what do you think the third one is hmm speaking I would say properly because you could come up with some mixed salad of Arabic and say you know just whatever words you know in Arabic you could just say and say I I speak good Arabic brother you want to say I need to go to hotel mashallah alhamdulillah oh word salad but you're not speaking I'm saying speaking what properly yes young man ah very good writing properly excellent job writing properly that said four four listening comprehension reading with comprehension speaking properly and writing properly okay so if you were learning Spanish these four skills you're good at Spanish you have these four skills in German you have these four skills in Farsi Arabic doesn't matter these are the four skills if you go to any University and get a degree in a language what force what skills will they focus on all four isn't that true how many people here in the computer science or the tech industry at all okay here's a question for you two of these two of these are data input and two of these are data output can you tell me which two of these are data input and which two of these are data output yes young man very good listening and reading is data input the information is going in your ear the information is going through your eyes the data is going inside you right and you're processing it and making sense of it and which two are output speaking properly you have to produce a sentence you have to come up with something yourself and writing you have to come up with something yourself you with me the first two are what input the second to R output excellent by the way what time is Maghrib I want to keep track of time 8 15 okay I better be done with this intro quickly this is the longest intro I've ever done because I want to get right to work I haven't we haven't started any work yet but I do want you to have the right base and understanding Okay so if you're studying Arabic as a Muslim and you're I would argue the number one motivation you have is you want to feel something when you hear the Quran being recited and you want to feel something when you read the Quran you want to connect with the text either when listening or when reading so when we want to work on our Arabic as Muslims even though it's nice to have all four skills which two skills become a priority listening and reading become a bigger priority and the more those skills develop we start feeling like a moral of a connection with the Quran now what a lot of language programs do is they start with speaking and writing so they'll teach you my name is this I love chicken what's your name do you love chicken Etc so when they do that you feel good because you're creating producing what output but after a year of studying that you open the Quran and you still don't feel yourself connected to what the language because your focus was not input your focus was output and plus those kinds of programs are always teaching Standard Arabic first because Standard Arabic is what we use among Muslims today I speak Standard Arabic to a good extent I communicate with my Arab friends in Standard Arabic that's my that's how I talk to them or I write to eat write them emails and communicate with them but to me for my students that is a later priority I will get you there but if that's what you're really interested in you want to be able to speak in Arabic and write in Arabic and that's your focus then you're in the wrong class the purpose of this class I call it the dream big program because I believe the dream of the majority of the ummah is to connect directly to the Quran when the Quran is being recited you with me so our focus is going to be on listening and reading so far so good so I'm going to erase the bottom two now now you understand why I'm not making you write anything down why not because it's not your focus I'm not making you speak any Arabic because that's not your focus your focus is the top two now between those two let me tell let me ask you this I'll take your vote on this too which one do you think is harder listening and understanding or reading and understanding which one is harder good listening is harder does anybody have any thoughts on why that's harder time there's a hand back there young man go ahead speak out loud what did he say they can't hear me they talk weirdly the speed the the car is going there and you just learned zalika in the class and you're like zalika by the way that's rougher you remember La you remember everybody's good with love okay does zakari do that no he's moving at the speed that he's moving and you can't keep up because you're still taking the time to process your processor is still slow but when you are reading who decides the speed I'm just gonna stay here for a little bit let me open up my notes I got this i got this next word by the time the tarawih is over you're done with Ayah number one right so I'm not concerned with listening too much yet I am more concerned with what reading because once your reading gets really good naturally you know what's going to start happening your listening is start to get good it's going to start to getting better better so we started with four skills and we're down to what one which makes our ability to focus in this class all the more easy well let me ask you I've been talking about a lot of things but this is a class how many kinds of Arabic are there what are they spoken standard classical which one are we going to start to learn good classical one of the hardest things to learn about classical one of these is about how a world word is spelled about how a word is spelled which one is that good sir one of these is about how a sentence works that's nahu nahu is by the way harder than self that was harder than sir piece of cake nothing okay I'm going to focus most of our energy on nahu in this class most of it now we get to the class itself what time does it begin seven o'clock what time is open free review 6 40. what am I emailing you every day transcript good now we can start class again no writing yet no writing yet don't write it down I see you sister Brothers don't have that problem we'll take notes okay okay there are three kinds of words in Arabic what are they what do I write down ism again what are they I'm gonna Define them for you we're not going to use English terms so much I'm going to Define them in Arabic or or in without giving you a term in English I'll start with harf that's the heart that's the easiest one half is the easiest one half is a word that makes no sense like your brother a word that makes no sense until there's another word after it half is a word the definition is a word that makes no sense unless another word comes after it so if you get in a taxi and you say the taxi driver says governor and you say to uh to what do you say do do this is the number no two two by itself makes no sense so two would be a what it's kind of like prepositions in English does a make sense by itself the makes sense by itself in at with those words on their own they don't make any sense and similar to that it's not only prepositions in Arabic so I'm not going to use the word preposition I'm going to stick with the definition is what what did I say a word that makes no sense unless another word comes after it okay that's how fine two definitions left very is any word that is either telling you that it happened in the past or it's telling you that it's happening in the present or it's telling you that it's going to happen in the future so a word that gives you time a word that gives you time of some kind either the past or the present it's stuck in time the past or the present or the future what do we call that in English verbs very good some of you call them verbs gives away where you're from verbs yes ma'am the live feed is not on it's not working my tech team is also not working help okay okay so the the feral is a word that's either in the past or the present or the future there's going to be a confusion an hour from now so I'll help you solve that confusion already I'll preempt the strike okay here's what it is eight slept uh will uh work uh drinking and yesterday what do you think about eight is that a fair because it's stuck in the past good slept yes because it's an act that happened in the past will work future drinking that's happening in the present what about yesterday is not a fail today is not a Feeling tomorrow is also not Affair you know why because these are the names of days they're not the they're not stuck in that time they're naming a Time so they're still names actually the word for the day that came before today is what the name of it is yesterday the name of this day is today and the name of the day that's coming next is tomorrow so they're not actually words stuck in time they are words for certain times there are words for certain times so don't be confused oh but yesterday's in the past yes it is but it's not a fair end it's not a field okay but how about this um what do you think understands why what's happening right now it's happening right now so it's in the okay so what's the fear then easy definition a word in the past present what's a half I forgot I forgot a word that doesn't make any sense until there's another word that comes after it there was a third thing good ISM there are two definitions of ism I'll give you the easy definition then I'll give you the hard definition here's the easy definition if it's not a Phil and it's not a harf it's an ism it's true though so when you when you heard yesterday I put yesterday on the screen right okay is that a half because it makes sense is that a feral no what's left yesterday's innocent let's use that first definition some more if I say apple why why no by the definition I gave you it's not a half because when someone says Apple I say okay it makes sense yeah apple it's not stuck in the past present or future right so that's not it either well there's a inflow what's happening what's happening oh they're no longer reserved okay yeah okay what was I saying something about Arabic question sure not in English in Arabic nah they need something after we say in English I know who you're speaking to but in Arabic you cannot say I know who you're speaking to this is why your Arab friends when they learn English they don't like using two at the end of a sentence because they feel like it's an orphan it needs something after it I know who are you speaking to him foreign you know when they do that at the end what you are talking about it when they do that it they're not it's not because they speak bad English it's because they're thinking in Arabic and in Arabic you can't just say about and just say nothing it makes no sense you have to put something after it so say about it okay so they add that pronoun now tell me about the Apple is it a half is it a fail somebody says no but I ate it yesterday that's in the past my Apple is in the past no no that's not that's your story doesn't matter so Apple must be a what good must be innocent now let's look at the Hard definition of Islam again no writing down yet no writing down yet is some could be a person third grade English Islam could be a person place thing we're gonna keep going idea adjective adverb and more oh that's a long definition let's go through it person place thing idea by the way person place thing idea that's what they call a noun in English they call that what a noun should I call Isam a noun no because if I called Islam a noun it would only be those four things there's some those four things no Islam is a person a place a thing an idea what else an adjective an adverb it's okay if you don't know what an adverb is I know for many of you English class was like dental surgery it's okay I'll I'll explain don't worry just look at the word right now don't don't be intimidated even adjective you know what an adjective is that's fine and then and on top of that there's also another one and more even more so ism is a lot of stuff actually Islam is pretty hard but let's make sure we understand let's give example of person so we have something in our head person call it out what's that that's very creative really thinking out of the box person come on Muhammad very Islamic very good Islam good place I know Makkah I got that anything else Masjid of course of course Houston my favorite place so sweaty huh China okay Tyler you said Tyler I know you did okay toilet it's that way you take a left thing yo-yo I like it book chair car for some people their car is a person it happens okay here's the hard one idea Islam is an idea very good what else huh education education is an idea very good what else Buddhism secularism secularism okay young man all the way in the back give me an idea Hadith cool idea yes Christianity any name of a religion it's an idea it's a set of ideas sure but what else yes Sports yeah I could take that yeah science is an idea very cool yeah theory is an idea it can also be sleeping drinking it's the idea of it the thing where you get stuck with idea let me give you something most ideas many ideas not all but most ideas have some kind of a shun at the end like education and submission and fruition and tuition yeah I'll get to that and uh they can they can have an ants at the end like acceptance and tolerance right they'll have that right sometimes they have what else they if they start with a two like to eat or to cry those are ideas to cry to because it's a combination of words but that's an idea and the tricky thing is many ideas can also be with an ing but the problem with the ing is we already used ing before somewhere else where did we use it fin so now let's look at this I am eating right and I love eating okay I am eating and I love eating which one of these is a feral and which one of these is an ism the first one is a how do you know present but I love eating it's an idea how will you know if it's still confusing to you I have a solution for you if you see an ing word and you can replace it with ice cream if you can replace it with what ice cream then it's an idea so if you say I am ice cream and you agree with that see me after class I know a couple of psychologists in the area but if you say I love ice cream does that make sense so the English language is a little weird sometimes the ing is and sometimes the ing is and ISM so if I say they went uh they are are they hated hiking what do you think huh ISM sure sure why because you could put ice cream and they hated ice cream what kind of evil people would do that but they did some people do that they hit an ice cream so yes ing will be confusing and sometimes she says it's an ing it's failed it and I said no this is one of those ice cream ice cream so we'll call those the ice cream ing's okay so sleeping could be if I just gave you sleeping without any context what's your answer if I say is this an Islam what would your answer be could be a fair could also be a listen you with me okay let's see whose memory is really good and Islam could be a that's one that's two idea adjective nice anything more okay more we did person we did place we did thing we did idea now what are we gonna do adjective a blue car what's the adjective a large Hall what's the adjective a loud microphone what's the adjective an old house what's the adjective good good colors are adjectives sizes adjectives numbers can be adjectives 50 people 50 is the adjective you with me and and so adverbs or adjectives are just descriptions aren't they they're just descriptions and we'll dig into them when we start learning the Arabic anyway let's talk about adverbs adverbs adverbs uh don't write this down are all the leaves except Bruce okay except Bruce and love okay what do I mean nicely is it Lee happily slowly quickly loudly angrily reluctantly boringly all the leaves the only leaves that are not adverbs are what Bruce Lee and lovely you know why Bruce Lee is not an adjective because Bruce Lee is a well they're all islamists but Bruce Lee is not an adverb because Bruce Lee is a person and lovely is not an adverb adverb because lovely is and what a lovely thing to say what a lovely wrong answer you just gave me adjective adjective because you don't say for example and by the way if you want love to be an adverb it would have to be lovingly not lovely you don't say the grandma hugged her granddaughter lovely that means the granddaughter's name is lovely lovingly it's different so easy definition of adverb all the leaves except Bruce and love easy no need to get Tech this is not what your English teacher taught you the state in which the ACT occurs concurrently with the act and Define look just don't confuse it with Bruce and love and you'll be good with adverbs okay and what else is there person go through it person place thing idea adjective more good and more you know what I'll tell you more later there's more to it we can wait for it now we have three definitions what are the three words I just defined ism what is the definition of Isam including a call it out again it's okay person place thing idea adjective adverb more by the way some of you come from very high Elite families like I was saying last night you come from a good family and you are used to you know your bourgeois you know status quo so when I say call it out you sit there and say make me I shall not join these peasants so you just sit there quietly and then there are others of you who are totally zoned out but you feel like you're left out so when everybody's saying person please thing idea you're like but do try to participate I need you to stay alive this is not a hood by it's not a lecture it's a class which means you will only learn when you learn to let your embarrassment go and speak out loud and make mistakes mistakes are glorious it's okay what let's hear it person place thing idea adjective adverb and more there's another definition of Islam if it ain't and it ain't It's gotta be what's the definition of field any word that happened in the past or is happening in the present or happening in the future there's another definition of ism is gotta be a other than your cousin a word that makes no sense unless there's another word after it what's the other definition of representative it's not a fail it's got to be Health when I open up the Quran I start with the Fatiha I end with a Nas every word I read in the entire Quran is either in Islam and that's it there's nothing else there's no Fourth Kind of word every word is either an ism or a fair or a half you're with me if I say praise and thanks belongs to Allah praise and thanks belongs to in English can you tell me what praise is because it's a what okay Islam is lots of things which system is it it's an idea very good what's and why can't make sense without anything else thanks idea very good belongs feral why it's in the present okay two Allah and we don't use the word person for Allah but Allah is the being the ultimate being so Allah would be also what anism yes with me okay can you label it for me what's the ism what's the Pharaoh what's the what's going on here eyes what is anism because Isaiah person good seek that's a fair because it's happening right now okay good forgiveness so listen what kind of ism remember from now on I it's not enough for me that it's an ism I need to know what what kind of ism is it person place thing idea adjective adverb or is it one of those more guys which one is it okay what about from good what about the word Allah you guys are doing well in the next 10 minutes I'm going to change your life inshallah if Allah permits here we go can you guys see that okay I'm gonna make it a little bigger so everybody can see it more clearly there are three words in every sentence you don't have to know this no writing down this is a mental exercise there's three words you see Allama every time or no okay Allah means taught Allama means what taught what kind of word is Allama very good why is it a failed because it's in the good Allama is a fair everybody clear okay means the lesson means the lesson what kind of word is the lesson and listen because it's an it's an idea good everybody clear if you have questions throw them out Allama is what kind of word says what kind of word is I use that word because you use that word for me all the time what's that means what what does it mean teacher what kind of word is that so there's two isms what are the two isms which is now I've just kind of moved them around cool can somebody vote for me what does the first one mean who taught who who taught what the teacher taught the lesson the teacher taught the lesson second one the teacher taught the lesson okay this the third one the lesson taught no the lesson taught the lesson taught the teacher that's weird what about the fourth one the lesson taught the teacher huh now I'm going to give you a clue let's go to English for a second because I hope you still know English if I ask you who did the punching in the first sentence and if I asked you who did the kicking in the second sentence whoever comes first must have done something if I flip them around and I said Joe punched Bob who would you blame Joe if I said Bob kicked Joe who would you blame our English mind is programmed that whoever comes first in the sentence must have done something you with me the English mind says who should have done something the first one Arabic is not like English let me give you a clue if so the words the two isms are and adars if you hear U at the end of any of them if you hear what sound ooh at the end of them they must have done something they did it and if you hear an ah at the end of them then they didn't do anything something was done to them so if you hear an ooh they're a doer but if you hear an ah there are done too meaning something was done to them I'm going to call them a done too so there's a doer and a done too you with me yes question yeah you can say direct object but that will give everybody else diarrhea because that's a big word but yes if you're an English teacher yes a direct object very good I'm avoiding all those terms right now I'm just saying Ooh Ah that's it who did the teaching how do you know who must have done something second sentence who did the teaching the teach the lesson taught the teacher the lesson taught the teacher how would I know because ooh and then you say ah then he said no no oh Allama the third one who's doing the teaching how do you know good job what about the last one the lesson taught the teacher how would I know who's doing something by the way there are three sounds in Arabic the u sound the a sound and the e sound and the u sound there's a diet version and there's a fat version the diversion is ooh the fat version is UN and there's ah and what else and there's a e and there's a in that's why your karisab who used to come teach you when you were a kid used to say [Music] all right you heard those sounds over and over and over and over and over again because they actually have a purpose they have a purpose a word can be said in three you could say you can say and you can also say what al-usta you could say it in three ways okay no keeping with this I haven't taught you any grammar yet none you haven't written anything down yet have you good I want to keep it that way we'll write stuff down after Maghrib right now just watch this [Music] this is an eye of the Quran meaning oh and I will also write down and I will also write down a who [Music] Martin okay now I'm going to highlight some words for you so you can focus okay let's do this exercise together the two words that I've highlighted are Isam they are why isms one of them is the doer I don't know the whole Ayah I don't know enough Arabic yet but one of them is the doer and the other one in the sentence is serving as a done too which one is the doer in the first line is it Allah or is it the word Allah or is it Allah what's your proof who let me tell you what the Ayah means people of knowledge truly people people of knowledge among his servants truly fear Allah people of knowledge among his servants truly fear Allah who does the fearing the people of knowledge among Allah servants who do they fear who's the fear done too that's why the word Allah is Allah now if somebody says what's the reason for all these uh sounds I can say Allahu what difference does it make does it make a difference every haraka makes a difference now jeez that's a pretty coffee thing to do on the flip side isn't it okay let's try this one well there's two people that are mentioned means killed katala means my question is who killed who dawood killed if I say I just changed history that's why your hips teacher used to slap you a good one on the back of your head you killed the wrong one okay let's try the last one everybody knows what Ibrahim means I have to translate Ibrahim and everybody here knows what Rabb means if I need to translate rub for you see me after class I'll introduce you to Islam okay is Ibrahim the Doer or is rub the doer in the sentence how you know you with me when his master his Rob tested Ibrahim who did the testing Allah did the testing who did he test who was the test done to you with me make a little bit of a mistake and what's gonna happen it's pretty bad that's pretty bad you with me so in English how do you tell who did something in English whoever comes first in Arabic the Arabic language doesn't depend on the order of the sentence to give you the meaning the Arabic language manipulates what the end of a word the end of a word now I'm just gonna before your break because I don't want you to have a breakdown in the Salah yes your question no no this is I've given you a drop and then if you say is this the way you swim in the ocean no wait wait I just sprinkled a drop on your face don't jump in the ocean yet you will drown I don't want you to drown so I'm going to tell you this ooh does many things including being the Doer ah does many things including being the done two so don't think it's the only thing it does it's one of the many things it does as we learn more we'll learn the other things too so with that I'm going to give you a first break go enjoy Salah is let's begin uh no questions anymore we gotta get started sorry um I'm going to do a quick review of everything we've done because we have lots of work to do lots of work to do before 10 pm and I will get it done inshallah first things for first things first how many kinds of words are there in Arabic three kinds of words this is in your notebook three kinds of words in Arabic the definitions are already written I didn't want you to write it down because I wrote it much nicely for you okay then it says what are the alternative definitions of these words below what do you think quickly what's the alternative definition of ism if it's not what's the alternative definition of feral if it's not is what's the alternative for half if it's not a summer field by elimination because there's only three possibilities those of you that know a little bit about English grammar there are eight parts of speech in English eight parts so distinguishing is a complicated task in Arabic at least that part is condensed to just three because adjectives are a separate part of speech adverbs are a separate part of speech there's lots of different parts of speech but in Arabic everything is Juiced down to three basic parts that's it okay now table quickly let's take a quick run through all of this is Dallas ISM jumps I would argue and somebody has to give me an example I would argue I can use jumps as a fail but sometimes I can use jumps as an ism can you give me an example of how I could use jumps as an ism he jumps over the defenses of fear because he does it right now or in the present but I want to use it as an ism yes huh he can do jumps very good he can do jumps or he did 10 jumps or the coach in the gym says give me 15 jumps those are going to be isim right so be careful just because you see an S by the way this happened with another kind of word where it could be an Islam and it could be a which kind of words in English was that ing words s words can be like that too sometimes too okay from good on good a at cake good ISM ISM country countries are half because it doesn't make any sense to you country music makes no sense to you I'd sell my tractor for you okay okay but it's it's an ism America I'm going from the bottom up America SM typing um okay it could be Islam and it could be I need an example for Isam I need an example for ism I love typing you you took my ice cream example and you stuck with it I like it I love the commitment I love typing or typing is easy okay typing is a good skill etc etc all of that is okay that's a that's an idea so it's an awesome give me the word typing as a fill I am typing good what's your example he is typing good I like it he is typing students students or Islams even when they make no sense Makkah listen because it's a Place freedom freedom is an idea freedom is an idea slept very very peace which an idea is what ideas which one is it I have no idea what you're saying what is it and ISM because it's an idea that's how you say it in Islam because it's an idea okay of somebody said this is I'll come back what is it half good cats cancer isms good oh there's another line where am I going there it is last one let's let's just finish it in okay loudly listen what kind of ism adverb what are the two leads that are not adverbs Bruce and love are not adverbs very good tall why adjective soundly ISM because it's an advert red ISM because it's and mother ISM person roller coaster ISM it's a thing house isn't smiles hmm could be a Sim could be fair but you got to give me examples again and you can't use I love give me give me the feral example show of hands lady show of hands yes he smiles that's a fairy give me Smiles as an ism yes huh no I want is someone yeah you said I love Smiles I said don't use I love there are so many Smiles in this room oh like it that's dramatic good yeah smart Smiles are part of Smiles are part of the uniform you took my smile away with that weird okay customer service it's a slogan customer service that's what you know the difference between Airlines Western Airlines and like Muslim country Airlines is the people the flight attendants and Muslim country airlines are really scared to lose their job and you can tell so they're like hello I'm your flight attendant I will do anything you ask me to get and I want to and they have the zombie smile on their face and in Western Nations they don't care if they lose their jobs they're all unionized so they're like you want water you're gonna have to wait [Laughter] so yes Smiles are part of the uniform okay now we can move on every ISM has four properties that's what it says on your notebooks every Islam has four properties now we're going to start working on the properties of the ism I'm going to write this down and not explain it to you but you're going to write this down with me number one over here number one in your notes is status status number one is what status okay number two is number number one is status number two is number and number three is gender and number four is type I will say that again number one is status number two is number number three is gender and number four is type okay I want you to do this exercise with me I want you to understand what I'm getting at uh in order to understand the concept today we are going to start the first subject which is status it'll take us two days to finish status and the other three we will do them together by the third day so it takes it takes me about a day and a half at least to do status which is my job today and then by the third day of class we will be done with status number gender and type and by the third day your first semester is over this class is three semesters the first semester is called the four properties of the ism we're in the first semester right now which ends in three days and the goal will be what four properties what are the four properties status number gender and type and the hardest one is status which is why we're doing it first the hardest one we're gonna do first we're going to get that out of the way the rest of the life our life is easy okay then we'll move on to the second semester and third semester but first semester is just four properties of the ism and the first property is what status okay now I want you to understand this example uh actually before I go to this example because the answer is already on there I want you to look at this uh the uh taught us slowly yesterday [Music] um okay the Arabic of the Quran okay let's just use this example okay ustad taught us the Arabic of the Quran slowly yesterday first of all let's quickly get everything out of the way you already know what the harf are the half are easy what are the half here the of okay so we're good half is done okay I really want to make sure though you understand what the feral is the fear is really important can you tell me where the Pharaoh is okay I'm gonna highlight the feral in yellow so that's out of the picture okay now the only thing left then is Islam quranism yesterday is innocent everybody clear all the rest is isms right now any Islam in Arabic any Islam in Arabic has a label okay a status label it's called a status label the status label is either in simple language either it is the Doer either it's what the Doer or it's some kind of a detail so it's the doer of the film or some details about the fearing that's two and sometimes it's whatever comes after of so there's three labels the doer of the firin the doer of the fair so what's the fan here taught so if you want to find the doer of the field you ask yourself who did the teaching okay that would be a start the detail of the theory will be who did he teach give me some details who did he teach okay what did he teach Arabic how did he teach when did he teach all of those are details who did he teach what did he teach where did he teach when did he teach how did he teach if I say yesterday inside I had done other detail didn't I that's and each detail answers a different question one detail is who did he teach one detail is what did he teach one detail is how did he teach one detail is when did he teach and one detail is where did he teach so who what when where how right and and there can be even more like why why did he teach it could be that too okay now what I want you to know is that whenever the question is formed the word teaching has to be there because when I say doer I mean doer of the Phil and when I say detail I actually mean details about the feral but let me ask you another question so so let me put these list of questions who taught that's my doer isn't it uh what did he teach where did he teach give me more when did he teach okay what else how did he teach okay and we didn't do y in this sentence but it can be there okay so we've got who what where when how right but is the word teach always there taught teach right but if I said for example I'll change it a little bit I'll start taught us the book of Allah yesterday if I say that and then I ask another question whose book was it whose book was it is that a question about teaching so don't just make any question and call it a detail the only questions that can be called details are questions directly about the Finn they have to be about to fail whose book was it that's not a question about the fair it is it so that's not a detail okay now every time you have a doer every time you have a doer we're not going to call him doer anymore we're gonna call him uh well why don't just happen we're gonna call him anytime somebody's a doer we're going to call him what rougher that's a new word for you no no notes yet I'll give you really good notes trust me every time you find a doer what are you gonna call him rougher every time you find a detail detail of what I keep saying it detail of what detail of the feral every time you find a detail you're going to call it you're going to call it what and every time you find any word after o f book of Allah messenger of Allah the religion of Islam okay the the community of Muslims anything that comes after o f we're gonna call it jar three words now what are they rougher is for Doer not sub is for what details and Judas for what after of now go to your text and let's look at this where's the fairy in the first one a teacher entered the classroom where's the pharaoh you got to find the first for this exercise you have to find the fail first because the fill will base you all your questions so who did the fail that's why there's an r on top of it what's the r for now you see why the r is there what is the classroom doing here is that answering a detailed question is it a d is it a question about the field can you construct the question for me what did he enter where did he enter so that would be a what according to my discussion that would be a nothing a detail would be a now sub the doer will be rougher the detail will be okay a student of his was sleeping soundly who was doing the sleeping so the student must be Rafa of his of his whatever comes after of will be you could you could be a little California that's jar the first one is rougher second was jar okay his jar okay was sleeping soundly that's how was he sleeping soundly so that would be nothing why didn't I label sleep was sleeping why didn't I label was sleeping because I'd say this whole exercise we don't label the Pharaoh we only label the ism we're only labeling the ism don't label the Pharaoh the questions are based on the fairies not the one that gets labeled you with me let's do another one the teacher threw a pencil it's a story from my life I was the student sleeping soundly the teacher threw a pencil who's the rougher here explain to me why the answer is there I don't care about the answer I care if you understand the answer he's the doer of throwing so he's rougher what did he throw that's a detail about what did he throw so that would be Nelson okay the teachers student woke up Suddenly oh that's a hard one it says the teachers is Jay what's J for but that's not what I taught you I taught you to find a j what has to be there it's as if the textbook is saying there is an of that's there how dare the book say that because you can say the student of the teacher so in English sometimes they get rid of the of and flip it around and I expect you to know enough English that when you see two words together can you flip them and put an oven between and then you can find the J but usually when the of is there the J is at the end but when you flip it the J goes in the beginning so let's do some examples of that if I say his house what's J his house how do you find a j how do you find a j how do you find a job after you're looking for an of right oh sorry of you're looking for enough do you see an up in his house I think you could find it though is there another way of saying his house of his ah so spiritually speaking his is Jay the of you can think of it in your head if I say Allah's messenger can you find what's Jay here so we're talking about grammar right we're talking about grammar so we're not actually talking about Allah right so it's respectful to say the word Allah is Jay because it's wrong to say Allah is you understand so respectfully whenever Allah comes up what do we say the word Allah is the word Allah is job this is a classical practice grammarians used to not say Allah Allah is they would say meaning the word Allah is the word Allah is so that's what we're going to do too we're going to use not Allah but the word Allah so the word Allah is jar here why because another way of saying Allah's messenger is Messenger of Allah okay now the teacher student woke up who did the act of waking up was it the teacher or the student who did the waking up ah the student did the waking up so the student is rougher you with me and then suddenly the detail has to be nothing but can you turn it into a question so I'm clear that that is a detail how did the student wake up okay I'm going to give you one the Tas are here they're going to identify themselves raise your hand my Tas okay they're gonna raise their assistance in the class okay I'm gonna put a question on the page I'm going to write an English sentence on the page you're going to find me everything first you're going to find me all the isms all the fairies and all the hubs then you're going to find me the Phil in particular then you're going to find me what's rougher what's nasib and what's jar easy R and J that's all you got to do but write this sentence down yep you have one minute if you need help Tas will make themselves available to you you can discuss with each other foreign um show of hands don't call the answer out show of hands what's the show of hands yes sir the what's the what is the good messenger first I want to know is that's all I want to know it is Messenger yes young lady of what kind of word is of you who keep looking at your mom stop looking at your mom tell me half good girl very good Allah all the way in the back that's an ism very good the word of lies in Islam taught taught don't call it out don't call it out yes that's a fair very good his uh his listen why why is it awesome because it's a person good huh his it's a person companions yes good guy's side patiently patiently let's see this section yes sir listen why because it's not Bruce or love it's an adverb good good okay now I need to know what's rougher here and what's nothing here and what's jar here what's rougher here yes since you didn't raise your hand I'm picking on you that's what happens here yeah welcome you know you should raise your hand because then you have a better chance of not being picked so if you're afraid of being picked raise your hand because I will I gauge your faces and I see who has the most nervous smile and then I pick them like you sir yeah yeah the word Allah is everybody clear his is everybody clear okay good you're not clear let's go through his companions come companions if I say my car another way of saying that is car of mine his companions another way of saying is what companions of his so in English sometimes the of is obvious sometimes you have to figure it out okay so English will not always use of sometimes it'll use that this this format so you know we say the messenger of Allah now the is obvious but another way of saying it is Allah's messenger so when you see Allah's messenger you in your head have to convert it back into what messenger of Allah then you will find what's whatever is after up yes okay it's coming it's coming I wanted to get the English done now we do Arabic class because all this time we've just been doing an English class haven't we it's time to get some Arabic going if you hear ooh or un at the end of a word it is Rafa if you hear a or an at the end of

supposed to know if it's true How Will I Know how many hours you've been studying Arabic can you calm down a little bit you should thank Allah the same instead of making you memorize the third thing and by day four you will know this is day one by day four you will know when it's two nothing and when it's you won't need my help after that right now it's the same one alhamdulillah it's the same one Ani means what okay let me give you an exercise Masjid everybody knows the word Masjid how do I say and I'm not going to use uh I'm gonna use the the ones that have an entity and like I'm gonna use that one Masjid Rafa version I want Masjid rougher version one Masjid Masjid Masjid don't I want one Masjid NASA version good I want man Masjid jar version I want two masjids but I want ketchup

want one book I don't want two books I want one book in jar form one book jar way in the back nobody behind you that doesn't mean that you're the last person in class academically but there's literally no one behind you okay go ahead excellent this is gonna hurt your brain but I love it I love this torture Wait wait wait wait wait wait uh uh nothing okay I don't want you to convert this to Arabic you don't know Arabic like that but I give you there's multiple choice you can say masjidun or you can say Masjid done or you can say must G then three choices the first sentence is a Masjid announced the start of Ramadan which of these three is the Arab going to use masji masjidun masjidun I saw a Masjid who's the doer here who's the doer here I'm the doer so Masjid is a detail of what I saw and the details are what status so I gotta make it NASA what am I going to say then when do you use rougher you use Rafa or un when it's the doer when do you use NASA when it's the detail of the Ark what about the third one the Imam of a Masjid is well respected what's the master doing here it's after all isn't it so what am I going to use Masjid let me change it two masjids announced I saw two masjids and the Imam of two masjids are the imams of two masjids are well respected okay let's start over too much just announced the start of Ramadan how do I say two masjids but also make them the Doer meaning also make them Rafa 2R masji excellent masjidani's correct Arabic I saw two masjids that's a detail how do you say two masjids in NASA form how do I take two masjids and make them jar form you guys are starting to learn Arabic grammar you know the difference between masjidun Masjid masjideni pretty sweet now it's time for you to memorize your first lesson then we'll take notes I want you to go to page six I'll explain this to you foreign lots of fun read the first one on the top right Muslim say that for me what do you think that is it's rougher I want you to put the words one R inside that box one R muslimon is one r one rougher page six everyone Muslim men what do you think I should put in there right underneath it Muslim men one what One n you notice how Muslim man is written different from Muslim what's different about it yeah whenever they write an they write an extra alif which they don't do anything with but they like to write it if you have a problem with that I'll get you the fax number for the so the embassy and you can discuss the issue with them but it's their language they decided the spelling I didn't decide that then e goes at the end of table and why they don't say tabli it's their language they spell it they have a standard they put in alif when they write an okay so muslimun is one r Muslim man is what one and what's Muslim in one j i call these ending sounds these are ending what sounds but in the next column you see muslimani Muslim is that just an ending sound it's just a single sound no it's a combination of letters isn't it the whole thing the package I call those ending combinations ending what combinations so I'm gonna say this one is what should I put in that box we'll see money two is not enough to R 2R and what am I going to put in muslimi to end to end and what am I going to put in the bottom one two J they're the same they're the same the two n and the 2J look the same how will you know the difference wait two days you know the difference you got it with day four after two days inshallah we'll get there okay now we get to the third column what does it say Muslim we're going to call this 3r we're gonna call this what three r what are we going to call muslimina what do you think so far there was one R One n one J two r two and two J what am I going to do with muslimuna 3r what's muslimina 3n and what's the last one 3j which one are the same the nasab and the jar are the same for two are the same for more than two three means more than two any more than two so in English we have book and books yeah but in Arabic you have book bukani and then okay they have to have three they have one two and then plural they don't just have singular and plural they have singular two pair and then plural you with me okay so what this tells you is in Arabic there are sometimes ending sounds and there are sometimes ending what combinations combination combinations are used for how many either two or four plural so let's see if we can do this together say this with me it's going to take eight minutes to do this say this repeat after me out loud [Music] man Muslim men you have to know this this is not homework you cannot leave here without knowing this by heart and you can you have to do it exactly how I'm doing it you cannot change the order this is sacred you cannot say Muslim Muslim in Muslim no no no no no no no no no no no again now we will add Muslim Muslim let's start over Muslim Muslim and Muslim in Muslim Muslim any all of them together now Muslim one Muslim and Muslim in Muslim Muslim any Muslim any look at it and do it for now look at it and do it for now Muslim Muslim and Muslim in Muslim any Muslim any Muslim foreign that's all it is that's all it is because the first word is Muslim you already know Muslims that's not the hard part it's just okay now let's try this try the whole thing Muslim Muslim men Muslim men Muslim Muslim Muslim Muslim Muslim Muslim any volunteers go ahead have you done it before yes you have you done it before okay do it excellent job very good guys we got to tie the score we can't let them no no no come on fellas come on they always win I'm tired can we get one W yes have you done it before okay good good job everybody all together Muslim Muslim men Muslim in Muslim Muslim Muslim Muslim muslimina muslimina take one minute recite it to the person next to you they will recite it back to you from memory go repeat until you get it come on no time to delay easy way to remember this folks easy way to remember this three three and three don't think of them as nine think of them as three three and three what's the first one muslimon Muslim man Muslim what's the second said what's the third set why do we say three each time the first one of each group is always rougher the next one's always nasib and the third one is always why do we have three groups because the first one is for one the second group is four two and the third group is four three that's the grid Muslim Muslim and Muslim Muslim Muslim muslim okay so sometimes a word ends with an ending sound sometimes it ends with an ending combination now here's the key for today's training you must look for combinations first you must always look for combinations first and if you don't find a combination then you can trust the ending sound you cannot trust the company you cannot trust the ending sounds you must make sure that you're not looking at a what a combination so our first check is not sound our first check is always combination and if you find a combination then you know what to do if you don't find a combination then you can use ending sound look at list this one Muslim Moon I'm going to zoom in on this one imagine you didn't check for what are you supposed to check for for a sound or combination okay this combination is UNA una tells you it's from the plural column so it's plural more than two and it's what status because it's the first one Muslim so that's the first one this is plural Rafa but if you didn't check for the combination and you just heard this word and somebody said muslimu Na and you said oh I hear ah what would you think it's one nasab your answer would be completely wrong because you looked at what first you looked at sound first you always have to look at what first combination comes first always okay that's why we memorize these because we have to know them we have to know them and recognize them in the Quran so now I'm going to put you to the test a little bit and I want you to do this yourself first for a little bit and then I want you to do this with me look at page five page five number one my question is enough that's number one on question page five is that a sound or a combination good now you can tell what statuses is what is it it's rougher very good all the words here on this page are taken from the Quran I have taken no words from outside the Quran this is all Quran words okay and nasu is from the Quran and this is now Rafa everybody clear you should know not just what is it but is it sound or combination also nafsin sound and what status this one is everybody clear Muslim Muslim and this matches Muslim in yes sir okay what you're not clear about sound versus combination let me explain let me put this another another way okay so if you hear on an or in or you hear u a or e that's called sound okay if you hear Ani or any or Una or Ina that will be called what combination and so and Ani and any the first two Annie and Annie are for twos and una Nina are for plurals and you know the difference Ani is plural Rafa and Ina is plural I'm saying when you look at a word make sure this check for this first when you're done make sure it's not there then you can trust the sound okay good question all right sound sure good job the word Allah no the word Allah is not rougher Muslim Moon is this is closer to man isn't it it's our sound okay let me go up top again let me go over one column number two here what do you say sound what status should I give it what should be the answer very good we don't say nasab nasab lives in faslabad Arabic is nothing so Rafa is dafa and nasab is not a word rougher okay then it's what status I don't know I don't hear you sound nothing good do you hear a combination once you hear a combination it could be from the two column or from the three column you got to figure that out yourself is it three so now infinite three column there is three of them muslimuna muslimina muslimina I gotta know which one so what's my answer here it could be three nasub or the answer is three New Jersey very good okay John what do you think sound and very good okay from number from number eight to number 14. do them with each other Tas go around number eight to number fourteen figure them out yourselves and then I'll discuss them with you I'll give you four minutes okay quickly Sounder combination combination which one plural are very good what's the answer number nine yeah one nothing one nothing okay what's the answer for al-bahraini two two n or J aine is two n or two J very good I'm looking at number 12 because it's closer for me number 12 Sabi run what because it's like Muslim men right one very good a safinati excellent excellent excellent okay huben that sound yes what status one what nothing excellent EB one jar take some notes before I let you go I'm gonna give you some notes um is that making sense to you now we started with everything is then we said we're going to study the ism and I didn't explain everything but I said we're going to study status number gender and type and we already started studying status without me giving you any notes for steps so far okay number one there are three or four a you can say 4A there are three forms of status which are Rafa what else Nelson and what else okay uh Rafa is for doer and more is for detail and more and jar is for after of and more I'm not giving you the and more because you don't know these guys that well yet you just got to know Rafa so I'm just telling you one thing about rougher when you get to know your friend after a while says by the way I have a part-time job too and sometimes do this this if somebody tells you too much about themselves on the first day they're a weirdo get away from them okay so right now you know one thing about each what do you know about rougher it's doer but there's more tarafa he's got an interesting personality he does a bunch of stuff now so one thing at least you know about nasab is what it's a detail but there are more things you will learn one thing you know is what after off but there will be more things you will learn okay so that's your lesson a we've already done this lesson B is how to tell status good you can tell by ending sounds is what is and e or in is right that's one way you can tell what's another way you can tell ending combinations Ani to Rafa and aini to New Jersey right could be between us number two judge what other ending combinations do we know una could be three Rafa and E now could be three and to remember all of this memorize page six what's Page Six muslimon with me with me with me muslimon Muslim man Muslim men Muslim Mani Muslim many Muslim many Muslim muslimina muslimina that's what you memorized we have reached this point in class this is the point we've reached in class you're gonna the Salah is gonna start You're Gonna Hear alhamdu status quickly rabbi listen carefully Sounder combination sound domination is not a word three New Jersey three it could be plural plural nothing or it could be plural but it says master of All Nations and peoples of it's after of so it's three what it's three foreign that's not a combination it's part of his name like my name is not two gnomes my name Norman okay Maliki yomi adini um you don't have to worry about those foreign plural be hinda [Music] plural or or is there some brain activity that's going to begin now when you read Quran or hear Quran I mean you don't know if it's you don't have the vocabulary what are some of these endings gonna start messing with your head now inshallah I hope to ruin your concentration but by doing this but this is huge progress inshallah tomorrow what time will I be here I'm going to be here no I'm not going to be here at seven I'm gonna be here at 6 30 for
