Arabic Language Level 6

Description

Course Description

This module has been designed to expose students of Arabic Language to Qur’anic and Hadith vocabulary and its usage at an elementary level. Students will primarily look at the last ten chapters of the Qur’an and then apply the vocabulary of these chapters in other verses of the Qur’an. With the repetition of the many vocabulary, including pronouns and various prepositions of the Qur’an, students will be exposed to over 50% of the Qur’anic vocabulary through these ten chapters.

Likewise for the hadith module students will look at the first 100 hadith of the small hadith compilation called: Provision for the Seekers (Zaad al-Taalibin). The objective of this module is not to engage in the commentary of the prophetic traditions (ahadith) but rather to look at the traditions linguistically.

Duration: 12 weeks (36 hours in total), 3 hours each lesson
