How to study Arabic

Studying Arabic is one of the most rewarding pursuits a Muslim can undertake. It’s not just about learning grammar or vocabulary—it’s about unlocking the door to the Qur’an, the words of the Prophet ﷺ, and centuries of Islamic scholarship. Arabic is the language Allah chose to reveal His final message, so its pursuit is an act of worship and devotion.
