Al-Jurjānī's ʿAwāmil al-Nahwiyya has been taught across the Islamic world for nearly a thousand years. We've adapted it exclusively around the Qur'an — every example is Quranic, and the grammar is always in service of the meaning.

This is the course for students who want to engage with the Qur'an and the Islamic scholarly tradition seriously, in Arabic, on its own terms.

Up to 15 students · Zoom with breakout rooms · Intermediate–Advanced

You'll finish this course able to sit with a verse and understand not just what it says, but how it works — why a word carries the ending it does, what that reveals about the sentence, and what the sentence is actually saying. For many students, this is when the Qur'an opens up in a way it never has before.

You'll also leave with something that outlasts the course: the ability to open a classical text — tafsīr, fiqh, hadith — and work through it on your own. That independence is what this course is really building toward.

For Arabic speakers who are ready to move from fluency to depth. If you've been reading and speaking Arabic but feel the Qur'an and the classical tradition are still just out of reach — grammatically, intellectually — this course closes that gap.

Advanced students who have completed our Qur'anic Arabic Fluency Programme are directly eligible. This is exactly what that programme prepares you for.

You'll need to be comfortable in Arabic-medium instruction, familiar with the three grammatical cases, and able to read unvowelled Arabic. Intermediate MSA fluency or above is essential.
