In one of my previous videos, I quoted the scholar and how he talked about what makes Arabic superior and unique. And he mentioned that the majority of meanings in Arabic, they don't come from words. And he said that the thing that makes Arabic unique is the fact that what in other languages require separate words to communicate, Arabic does it through vowels and it does it through patterns and grammatical structures. My goal behind that quote wasn't to suggest to an audience in 2025 for example that is saying that you need to study grammar first. So the approach is something that actually I came up with not so was quoted in order to show the efficiency of the language but what do we do with that efficiency like I mean it's impressive but what do we do with it? How do we leverage it? So I had an idea more than 20 years ago. I had an idea and I said that this is something that's unique. This is something that's noteworthy. It's remarkable. So how can we use this to our advantage? So the fact that we're English- speakaking people and we have a good understanding of our own native language and there's things that our language has that Arabic doesn't have and there's things that Arabic has that our language doesn't have. So let's go ahead and let's leverage our knowledge of English and let's explain to the people that English has sequence. So when you have a verb and nouns then it's not particularly difficult to figure out which of the nouns is the one doing the verb and which of the nouns is the one upon whom the verb is being done because you say z hit. So the hit comes in between z is at the front is at the end. So you know who did it and who svo it's like sequence determines grammar. In Arabic, there's no sequence. Sequence does not determine grammar. So, if you have a verb and two nouns, you can literally arrange that in numerous different ways. So, so how do you know which of the nouns is the one doing the verb, which of the nouns is the one upon whom the verb is being done. So, this is an issue that needs to be resolved. So, how does Arabic resolve this? Is by establishing grammatical states and assigning to the nouns case endings. So, when you see the particular ending, you know that this noun is the one doing the verb. And when you see the other ending, you know that this noun is the one on whom the verb is being done. So that's one issue. Okay? And this is and it makes sense when you contrast and when you compare Arabic with English and you see English does it like this. Arabic doesn't have sequence. So how does it do it? It can't do it like that. So it has another method. And some languages do it through extra words. Like in Udu say so there's an extra word. There's extra word go. Arabic doesn't have extra words. So how does it do it? It does it through this grammatical states process and it's done by assigning to the nouns these endings, these case endings and it's a whole mechanism. It's a whole mechanism that differentiates between the roles of the nouns. On the other hand, we have words connecting together and functioning as a single unit. This is important. There's an inventory of 12 to 16 ways that words can connect together and create what we call phrase level relationships. So when you know that then this helps you. How does that help you? Because in sentences there's no is. Arabic doesn't have an is the verb to be. So if you have a long sentence, then you need to be able to figure out from where to where is a subject, where to where is a predicate. So these are core issues. When made that statement, he was alluding to these things, but he didn't say teach these things first. He didn't say that. You see, so we had to come up with the hypothesis like for example, is it possible to get people cold off the street and give them this information to the point that not only do they get it, but they find it fascinating and it motivates them to keep going? And then if we start a book in the third week, will that even work or would people just collapse out of frustration and collapse out of overwhelm? So we've tested it. Okay, so this is how our method came into being. Now on the other hand we have some people that say don't teach grammar and they say that when you're considering a program then you need to understand that the salaf and they talk about the predecessors and they quote a scholar here or there. They're cherrypicking. They're quoting a scholar and they're saying this scholar says that uh the nouns and the adjectives to memorize what they are is the first thing that you should start with. It's a misquote. Okay, that's not what he said. He's saying the actual opposite. So, in the description of this video below, I'll actually quote to you and what he said exactly so you can compare and see what he's saying. But the point is that when you don't have a method and and you're not good at you're not particularly good at explaining these complex topics in a way that makes sense, then there's a tendency to occupy the student in busy work and get them memorizing. So then when eventually a time arrives where grammar has to be taught then the teacher is able to uh paraphrase. So they're not really explaining but they're paraphrasing. They're taking the Arabic and saying it back to the student in other Arabic and it doesn't really explain why that rule is important or why I need it or how it will ever contribute to a better understanding of the Quran and the Sunnah. So, if you're considering signing up for a program, an Arabic program, then my strong recommendation to you would be to see whether the grammar topics are being framed as solutions to comprehension issues. Only then are you being taught how the language works. So, what you need in a class is not someone to encourage you to memorize. What you need in a class is someone to explain to you how the language works. So, if you like this approach and if you want to understand how the language works, you don't even have to sign up for the program because I've done it all here on YouTube for free. It's a three-hour workshop and you you can get that by watching this video here.
