Islamic/Qur’anic Arabic by Dr Imran Alawiye, Lesson 1

Welcome to a new series of Islamic and Qur’anic Arabic lessons. As is clearly obvious from the tittle, the series is aimed at people who are interested in deepening their knowledge and understanding of the Holy Qur’an and Islamic texts. From this standpoint, this first lesson will begin with an indepth analysis of the most prominent chapter of the Qur’an, namely suratul-Faatiha which every Muslim should recite at least 17 times during the course of a day. To get the ball rolling, this lesson 1 is solely devoted to the Basmalah; the Opening verse of the Fist Chapter of the Qur’an.
