Quranic Grammar: Essentials of Nahw
A study of ʿAwāmil al-Jurjānī
Every word of the Qur'an is governed by a precise grammatical logic. This course teaches you to see it — and understand the Qur'an more deeply as a result.

About the course
Al-Jurjānī's ʿAwāmil al-Nahwiyya has been taught across the Islamic world for nearly a thousand years. The Arabica Institute has adapted it exclusively around the Qur'an — every example is Quranic, and the grammar is consistently brought to bear on meaning.
This is the course for students who want to engage with the Qur'an and the Islamic scholarly tradition seriously, in Arabic, with grammatical precision.
Up to 15 students · Zoom with breakout rooms Taught by Shaykh Hamid, Shaykh Jamal, and Shaykh Ibrahim
What you will learn
When you complete this course, the Qur'an will read differently. You'll understand why a word carries the ending it does, what that tells you about the sentence, and what the sentence is actually saying — layers of meaning that were previously out of reach.
A new way of reading the Quran — grammatically precise, not just fluent
The tools to open classical texts — tafsīr, fiqh, hadith — and work through them independently
A vocabulary acquisition methodology that extends beyond the course itself
Fluency in the technical language of Arabic grammar — in Arabic
Completion of a full reading of one of the most celebrated texts in the grammatical tradition
Who is this for?
For Arabic speakers who are ready to move from fluency to depth. If you have been reading and speaking Arabic but find the Quran and the classical tradition still just out of reach — grammatically, intellectually — this course is designed for that transition.
Advanced students who have completed our Qur'anic Arabic Fluency Programme are directly eligible. This is exactly what that programme prepares you for.
Entry requirements
You will need to be comfortable following and participating in Arabic-medium instruction, familiar with the three grammatical cases, and able to read unvowelled Arabic. This is an advanced course.
