The Problem You’re really You’re  really excited... You’ve prayed behind an imam in the past who cried and got emotional over some ayahs of the Quran and you also felt the emotion; but you never knew the meaning of the words that had such a profound effect. So you signed up to the latest Arabic programme and, finally, you’re going to learn Arabic. At last, you’re going to be standing in your prayers and know the meaning of what the imam is reciting. Soon you’ll be able to understand those powerful words. Words that were revealed from your Lord from above the seven heavens. You can’t wait for the first lesson. You buy all the textbooks in advance and you’re in fifth gear. You’re deeply motivated and can’t sleep the night before the lesson. It’s been years since you first had © 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 3

the desire to learn Arabic. And now your y our dream is about to come true. You attend the first lesson. The teacher speaks in English and gives a great motivational speech. He / she talks about the benefits of learning Arabic: understand the Qur’an, increase your concentrat concentration ion in salah, read books written by the illustrious scholars of Islam, speak to millions of people around the world in their native tongue; maybe you’re an expat in an Arab country or want to do business with the Arab world; and the list goes on. Then you start learning Arabic. Over the next few weeks - perhaps months - you get demotivated and eventually give up. How did you manage to lose all that motivation and excitement that you first had? “It’s too difficult.” Verbs. Nouns. Pronouns. Adjectives. Adverbs. Nominative. Genitive. Accusative. Subject. Object. What??  © 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 4

“Is Arabic really  this difficult to learn? Seriously?? ” “I don’t even know this stuff in my own language!” Sound familiar? That’s because it is! So many people start to learn Arabic. But most don’t get past the basics. Why is this so common? And what is the solution to this? How can you actually progress without such obstacles and difficulties in your path to learning Arabic? What is the one thing you’re doing wrong? We’ll get to all that later. This book is for you if one of four things apply to you: 1. You’ve joined Arabic classes before but found that you didn’t progress. Perhaps you jumped from one course to another, one book to another, or one teacher to another; but nothing helped. 2. You want to learn Arabic but don’t know where to start. There are so many different options out

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 5

there and you’re confused about the best and fastest way to master the Arabic language. 3.

You’ve decided to learn Arabic but there are no classes near you.

4. You’ve been trying to learn Arabic by yourself, using books and dictionaries for self study, but now you want to learn quickly and properly, or lack motivation. But first: let’s talk about why people want to learn the Arabic language.

Why the Arabic Language? There are many reasons why you may wish to learn Arabic. Below are the most common.

The Quran The Quran is a Book sent by Allah to His last and final Prophet, Muhammad . Allah chose to reveal the Quran in Arabic. If you really want to understand the Quran, the first thing you have to do is learn Arabic. “Ah…,” you say, “but what about the translation?” The truth is - and every Muslim knows this - the translation  of the Quran is not the Quran  itself. If you ask any Muslim what language the Quran was revealed in, they’d say without any hesitation: in Arabic. The English, Urdu, Bengali, French, Chinese translations are merely that: translations! You really can’t appreciate the true meanings of Allah’s words by just reading a translation. Arabic is a really powerful and beautiful language. Take the word lion  in English. One word. But

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 7

in Arabic there are over 300 words for lion ! You can see many of them by clicking here. In the Quran, Allah sometimes uses the word fu’aad  for heart  and sometimes qalb . But when you read a translation of the Quran, you’ll find that both words are translated as heart . There’s a reason why Allah chose to use fu’aad  in one place and qalb in another. If you’re  just reading the translation of the Quran, these nuances will be totally lost on you. Another example is with the words nafs  and ruh , both translated as soul . But there are some differences that scholars have mentioned between the two words. Had Allah meant the same thing in both cases, He would have used the same word. But He didn’t! But it doesn’t just stop at words. This concept goes further in full sentences. And this can only truly be appreciated by someone who knows the Arabic language. Today, we don’t try to understand the Quran. Instead, many of us leave the Quran on the top shelf and bring it down only when someone dies! The Quran is a prescription for our many illnesses: individual

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 8

problems, family problems and even problems we face as a society. How can we even begin to appreciate the remedies contained in the Quran for the many problems we face, without even understanding the very language in which the Quran was revealed. It’s a real travesty. The Quran is a powerful Book.

Tufayl Ibn Amr Al-Dawsi Take the story of Tufayl Ibn Amr Al-Dawsi, who was an Arab poet at the time of the Prophet Muhammad . He got caught up in the struggles between the Quraysh who were actively warning against the Message that the Prophet

came with and the Messenger of Allah

himself. What’s interesting is that when he came to Makkah, the chiefs of Quraysh laid out a feast for him and honoured him. They then warned him against listening to anything that the Prophet

said. Tufayl

says, describing this, “By Allah, they went on telling me about his ‘sorcery,’ scaring me so much that I decided not to approach that man, talk to him, or listen to him.”

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 9

He went on to say that he put cotton in his ears in order to prevent anything from the Prophet’s teachings reaching him! Take a step back for a moment and think about what you’ve just read. The Quraysh scared Tufayl from what the Prophet was reciting, so much so that he actively  decided to prevent himself from even hearing  what the Prophet had to say! The Quraysh knew that the effect of the Quran was so powerful that they didn’t even want people to hear  it! Allah Willed however that Tufayl did hear some of what the Prophet

was reciting so he followed him to his

house and confronted him with what the Quraysh were accusing him of. What follows is an account by Tufayl himself of this incident: “He (the Prophet ) explained it to me and read Surah Ikhlas and Surah Falaq. I swear, I've never heard anything better than that nor have I met someone more just on this earth. On the spot, I gave him my hand and pronounced the testimony (of faith) that

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 10

none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger, and I became a Muslim.” Think about this. He only heard a few lines of the Quran but was nevertheless affected by it so powerfully that he instantly accepted Islam. He knew  that this was from none else but the Creator of the heavens and the earth, the Lord of the worlds! Tufayl went on to carry the message of Islam to his whole tribe, who accepted that message. To truly appreciate what the companions of the Messenger of Allah

felt when listening to the Quran,

we have to understand it. The feelings you experience when reading a translation of the Quran come nowhere near the experience you get when truly understanding the Quran in the Arabic language. This experience doesn’t just apply to Muslims.

Abu Jahl Take the story of Abu Jahl, one of the most ardent enemies of the Prophet . He spent his entire life once Muhammad

had declared his prophethood - to

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 11

warn people against listening to the Prophet . In fact, he tortured those who listened to and accepted the Prophet’s

Message.

Once, Akhnas Ibn Shurayq - who was a polytheist secretly positioned himself outside the Prophet’s house to listen to him reciting the Quran. When dawn broke, Akhnas left and, on the road, bumped into Abu  Jahl and Abu Sufyan, both of whom were staunch enemies of the Prophet . (Abu Sufyan did accept Islam many years later but Abu Jahl was killed as a polytheist in the Battle of Badr.) Each of the three criticised the others for listening to the Prophet

as he recited. They

agreed with one other that they never repeat this ‘mistake’ again. The next night, Akhnas couldn’t help himself and did the same thing again. And again, when dawn broke he bumped into Abu Jahl and Abu Sufyan, who were also listening to the Prophet

reciting the Quran. Once

again, they all agreed never to return. The same thing happened on the third night. All three bumped into each other and this time each took a

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 12

solemn oath that he would never come back to listen to the Prophet . Akhnas went to Abu Sufyan in the morning and asked him what he thought about what he’d heard from the Prophet . Abu Sufyan said that he understood some things, and didn’t understand other things. They both then proceeded to the house of Abu Jahl and ask him the same question. Abu Jahl replied, “We and Banu ‘Abd Manaf (the Prophet’s

subtribe) competed for honour and

position: they fed people so we fed people, they engaged in battle so we engaged in battle, they gave so we gave, until we were neck and neck, like race horses. Then they said, ‘We have a Prophet among us who receives revelation from heaven.’ How can we compete with that? By Allah, we will never believe in him!” Wow! Abu Jahl, the ardent enemy of the Prophet , a man who had spent so much time, money and effort, warning people against him; one who tortured so many people for believing and having faith in the Message

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 13

that the Prophet

came with; this great evildoer, in

these few words, made clear the reason why he disbelieved in him. It wasn’t because he thought the Message isn’t true. It wasn’t because of the character and behaviour of the Messenger . On the contrary, these were exemplary. It was simply out of jealousy and envy. His tribalism led him to reject the truth that the Prophet

came with.

What’s so amazing is that, despite all this enmity, hatred and jealousy, even Abu Jahl was addicted to listening to the Quran! These verses of the Quran had such a powerful and overwhelming effect on them! How is it that the greatest enemies of the Prophet

felt

more compelled to listen to the Quran than many Muslims today? The answer is that many Muslims don’t understand even the core messages of the Quran. There’s a huge difference between reading a translation of the Quran and experiencing  the Quran in its original form in Arabic. Think about poetry. Imagine trying to translate the works of famous poets like Shakespeare into another

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 14

language. The experience  would simply not be the same, even if the basic meanings were carried across. If this is the case with human poetry, what about the words of the Creator? Words that are not mere poetry, but magnificent words from a Book that shook the world.

The Salah Salah , the daily prayers, are an essential part of a Muslim’s life. They’re your connection with Allah. The Prophet

used to seek pleasure and tranquility by

turning to salah, away from the worldly ordeals. Imam Al-Dhahabi, the illustrious scholar and historian, mentioned an incident about a group of people who were in a valley in the midst of a journey. While they were preparing to sleep, a lion came towards them so they climbed some trees to get away. However, one of them had already started his night prayers. He remained standing as he was, in prayer. The lion walked around him but the man continued in his prayer and did not move. Eventually, the lion turned around and simply walked away.

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 15

The man’s companions returned and asked him why he didn’t seek shelter from lion like they had. You know what he replied? He said something phenomenal! He said: I felt shy that I am standing in front of Allah, yet fear His creation! Wow. How do these types of people get such high levels of concentration, humility and fear of Allah in their prayers? The answer - if you think about it - is simple. When you actualise the fact that you are in the presence of Allah in prayer, it gives you a level of Iman  that is unimaginable. But how can this be achieved without knowing  what you’re saying?! While praying, there’s a massive difference in your experience between knowing what you’re saying and being ignorant of what you’re saying. This is why, when Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) would lead the prayer, many people couldn’t even make out the words he was reciting because he would © 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 16

cry so much in salah, due to his immense concentration in what he was reciting. To truly achieve this, you have to at least learn the Arabic language.

Studying Islam The primary sources of Islam are the Quran and the traditions and statements of the Prophet Muhammad (Sunnah). These are all in the Arabic language. Furthermore, to be able to read the thousands of volumes of books that have been written explaining the Quran and Sunnah, one has to know Arabic. It’s impossible for someone to truly understand these sources without knowing Arabic.

Businessman. Employee. Expatriate. Another reason why you may wish to learn Arabic is to pursue business with the Arab world. Arabic is the official language of the 22 countries which form the Arab League. It’s also the native language of over 200m people living in the Arab World, which stretches from Southwest Asia to Northwest Africa. © 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 17

Perhaps you don’t do business in the Arab World but you’re moving there as an expat. You may be working in an Arab country and want to get ahead by learning the language of the people. These, then, are some of the reasons why people learn Arabic. But why do so many people fail?

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 18

Why You Gave Up! Whatever your goal, if you want to learn the Arabic language you’ll need to be motivated and will require perseverance and patience. One of the biggest reasons why people give up learning anything is lack of motivation. You study hard for weeks - maybe you even attend Arabic lessons for months - but, over time, you don’t see any progression. After a few months of study, you still can’t speak Arabic. You still can’t understand the Quran and you still can’t speak to a native Arab! You’re virtually  translating in your head from English to Arabic and you’re not speaking naturally. And these are the two greatest reasons why most people give up: lack of motivation and too little progress. This is human nature. When we’re learning something new, we need to see results. We want to see progress.

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 19

And if, after a long period of studying, we’re not seeing the results and benefits of learning, we give up! We need the motivation to carry on. And if we don’t get that motivation, we stop. Frustrated and overwhelmed, like many others, you may give up at this stage. You convince yourself: ●

“Maybe Arabic is not for me.”

●

“Perhaps I’m just not good at learning new languages.”

●

“I’m getting too busy.”

●

“I don’t have much time anymore.”

And all the excuses come rolling and you promise yourself that you’ll get back to it one day but now’s not the time. On the other hand, if you survive the lack of motivation with your sanity intact, you’ll drop your current Arabic programme and hop onto another one later on. And the cycle continues: Get excited. Start a programme. Lose motivation. Get behind on

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 20

homework. Stop attending classes. See another programme. Get excited. Repeat ad infinitum ! So what’s the solution to this never ending cycle?

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 21

Theory. Theory. Theory. The problem with most Arabic courses is that they’re based predominantly on theory . You sit through scores of lessons learning about grammar and cases and tenses and conjugations and morphology and the list goes on. That’s great for the theory - but you have  to supplement all that with the practice . You can learn all the theory there is to learn but, if you don’t get any practice, you’re simply not going to master the Arabic language. You won’t be able to speak it with fluency and confidence the way a native Arab would. And you won’t be able to understand the Quran, Sunnah or any Arabic literature. It’s like any skill. Take driving a car, for example. You can spend hours learning all the theory in the world about how to drive a car - even if that’s with a teacher but if you don’t actually get into a car and start driving, you’ll never be able to master the skill of driving! You have to start somewhere. You have to practice!

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 22

In fact, you’ve learnt a language before, practically  and without focussing on just the theory . You’ve already mastered a language without ever knowing what a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, conjunction or gerund is. In fact, if you ever did learn the grammar of this language (and many people don’t!) you learnt it a lot later in life after you’d already learnt to speak, read and write. So which language is this, you ask?

How the Child Learns It may be obvious but you were not born with the ability to understand your mother tongue and speak the native language that you now converse with such fluency and confidence. You had to learn  that language. It was a process . So how did you learn it? How do children learn their first language? Do they sit through hours of lessons learning about verbs, nouns, cases, tenses? Of course not! They can do all of that

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 23

later, once they already have the ability to understand and speak their first language. Your mother pointed at the milk bottle and asked you if you wanted milk . She put you in the cot . As you grew slightly older, she would read you a book . And so on. This is how you began to learn the names of objects. When you got a specific feeling and cried - whenever you wanted food  - your mother asked if you were hungry . And this process continues until you develop a large vocabulary. You first learnt the names of things that you can point to and touch (toy, car, book, pen, chips, meat, chicken…) and then, as time went on, you learn about abstract concepts (hungry, angry, happy, sad …) So how did you come to know that you should say, “The boy is big” but not “Big is the boy”? You learnt this naturally , over a period of time. You learnt by listening . You learnt by attempting  to speak , even if you were wrong. You’d corrected. Initially, you’d recognise the

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 24

words. Then you were able to recall them when you wanted to convey a meaning to someone. And finally you learnt the structure of the words. All this was a process. And it occurred naturally . This is the way a child learns. He doesn’t study grammar before learning to speak, read, and write. He first learns words . Then he learns the ways  he can use those words to convey meanings that he intends. And this is the Pure Musk way. We teach our students to learn the language naturally : the way a child learns. Consequently, they will be able to think  in Arabic and even dream  in Arabic insha’Alla h.  Let’s be clear. We’re not saying that you should not  learn the theory. Learning grammar,morphology and all the other linguistic sciences is important. In fact, mastering these subjects is fundamental to understanding the Quran, the Sunnah, and the books of the great scholars of Islam. Even for foreigners learning a new language: getting up to scratch with some basic grammar will actually speed up learning, because you memorise a rule of thumb  instead of

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 25

having to memorise lots of words, and this will aid you in your understanding. What we are saying is that the focus at the beginning  should not solely be on all this theory. The key focus should be learning Arabic the Natural Way , the way a child learns. The best way to learn a new language is to immerse yourself in that language. You need to sit with a native Arab who’s experienced in teaching foreigners the Arabic language. You need to listen. You need to converse. You need to make mistakes. And you need to get corrected.

Going Abroad Costs Money… More often than not, when we talk about learning Arabic the Natural Way  - the way a child learns,  jumping right into the deep end and conversing with a native - people immediately assume that the only way to do this is by going abroad to a country in the Middle East, like Egypt, Jordan or Syria. But there are too many dilemmas.

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 26

“It’s too expensive,” they’ll tell you. “Flights, accommodation, tuition fees…” and the list goes on. “And then you have to get a year off work and that’s not to mention the loss of income while you’re not working! And what do I do with my kids? Should I take them? But they have school! Plus it’s too expensive to pay for their flights too!” You give up or go back to the “I’ll do it later”  frame of mind. You feel you don’t want to go back to the group classes in the local masjid (even if they are conducted by a native teacher of Arabic) because each student is studying at a different pace. If you miss one lesson due to another commitment, you lag behind the rest. The same is the case if you haven’t done your homework so you just end up losing the motivation to continue. Moreover, when you finish a hard day of work (whether that’s in a full time job or the hard work of raising the kids at home), you’re exhausted at the end of the day and really don’t want to drive (or take a bus or walk) all the way to the other side of town to get to the classes. You’re struggling for time in your busy schedule (and

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 27

the travelling just adds to that) but you manage to motivate yourself for a few more lessons. However, once you fall behind or once you stop seeing progress, you give up. You try something online.

Boring CDs and Software A lot of language programmes involve enrolling onto a website and cycling through scores of videos. Perhaps, you take multiple choice exam questions which are automatically marked by the system. All of this is great, but there is often very little (or no) interaction. Learning a language is a two-way process . You listen  and you speak . You need to listen  to someone and you have to speak  to someone. You read  to someone, and you’re corrected  when you make a mistake. This is how you learnt your first language as a child. If you’re just speaking to a computer, it’s no wonder you’re losing motivation! Even in group classes, you don’t have the one-to-one care that is so needed when learning a new language. © 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 28

Book 1 Syndrome

Due to all of these issues, many students are always on Book 1 . They jump from course to course and teacher to teacher and never go beyond Beginner’s Arabic Class . They’re always looking for something else. And the endless spiral continues. They may complete Book 1 five times and still haven’t progressed!

Do Something! What we say at Pure Musk is that you should Do Something! 

A car whose wheels are turning is easier to steer than a car whose brakes have locked up. The latter will lead to your wheels skidding and this is far more difficult to control. If your car is going towards an accident (the wrong way), the safest way to get you back on track in the right direction is to keep your wheels turning. If your brakes lock up, you lose control. Something similar is true with regards to learning Arabic: if you just sit around waiting for the perfect opportunity and context to learn (when I’m married, when I find the perfect teacher, when I have more

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 29

money, when I go abroad, when I’m retired, when I have more time, when the kids get older…) you’ll never learn. Years will go by, and you’ll be stuck in the same place where you were bef ore. You won’t have learnt more Arabic and you’ll look back wishing you’d started earlier.

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 30

You Want to Learn. But... So you can’t go to an Arab country to learn from natives (not yet anyway); you don’t have the motivation to learn in group classes because of the different speeds of the students and because of the time it takes you to get to and from the classes; you don’t want to focus just on grammar and theory  but want to jump into the practice, the way a child learns. You feel that the only realistic way of learning Arabic right now is for a teacher (a native Arab) to come to your house and give you one-to-one lessons at your own pace.

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 31

In Your Own Home This is the reasoning behind Pure Musk. When you enrol, you’ll be paired with your own personal teacher. Every teacher (male or female) is a native Arab currently in the Middle East and has a wealth of experience in teaching Arabic to foreigners (and / or Quran: Hifdh  and Tajwid ). You select your first- and second-choice times that are convenient for you (we have teachers teaching around the clock) and you’ll start learning online (with a real human teacher!) within a few days of registering insha’Allah . No boring CDs. No group lessons. No travel time to and from your lessons. No huge flight costs. Just personal one-to-one lessons with your own private tutor. You’ll be immersed in the Arabic language with a teacher who knows very little English and will be teaching you live, online, from the Middle East. You’ll be able to login to your own online account and speak to and learn from the teacher live. He or she will © 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 32

go at your own pace and will take the time to tailor the lessons to your needs. If you want to go slower, you can. Faster? Yep! What if you have a doctor’s appointment or parents’ evening to go to? Just let us know a couple of days in advance and we’ll rearrange your lesson for free or delay those lessons to the end of your current ‘study month’. Your lessons will be recorded so you can come back and revise at any time. This way, you don’t have to waste precious time and money going over stuff that has already been covered - unless, of course, you want more explanation than before. Our teachers are trained to teach adults as well children (from the age of 5 upwards). You can start with basic Arabic or, if you’ve already studied before and need advanced lessons, you can continue where you left off. Don’t think that this is a quick fix for learning Arabic. It may be a bit hard for the first few weeks but, if you persevere, you’ll learn Arabic the way you mastered your own mother tongue. The long term benefits are immense. You’ll start to think  and dream  in Arabic

© 2015 Radiant Drops Ltd | PURE MUSK | Arabic and Quran Online| 33

insha’Allah . You’ll see progress much quicker because you’re learning the language the Natural Way , the way a child learns. Normally one-to-one private tuition can get very expensive - especially if you’re studying an hour a day so we’ve made sure to keep the lessons affordable and cost effective. Hundreds of students are studying every day with their own personal Arabic teacher online. Make sure you don’t delay. Enrol today and start your lessons in a few days… Some of the greatest scholars of Islam were not native Arabs; they learned Arabic. You too can make Arabic your language. Learn Arabic the Natural Way .

Al-hamdu lillah the admin team are very efficient and were extremely helpful to accommodate to my timings. The classes are really beneficial as they are extremely interactive with the teacher. You are not speaking any English and you’re just speaking in Arabic. It’s very helpful and you’re actually learning a lot more than you think you’re learning. I highly recommend this to all the brothers and sisters.  Junaid Manzoor, London, UK 

MashAllah, i am learning so much! The teacher speaks and explains in arabic only. This is truly the best way to learn. I am very happy with the support and organisation of the admin team. The whole process was easy and very smooth. I would definitely advise others to go with Pure Musk. jzk Umair Vayani, London, UK
