An Introduction to Koranic and Classical
Arabic is an elementary-level grammar of standard classical Arabic, the
literary norm of the Arabic language that has not changed appreciably in
fourteen hundred years. An indispensable tool for all who are
interested in Islamic religion, science, and literature, the language
presented in this book will enable the learner to study firsthand the
primary sources of Islamic civilization and the classics of the Islamic
Near East. The grammar is presented clearly and in a logical progression
amply illustrated by examples, most of which, along with the readings,
have been taken directly from the text of the Koran and the body of
hadith (the reports of Muhammad’s Peace be upon him sayings) and
supplemented with extracts from other classical sources.
