13 بسم اهلل الرمحن الرحيم حنمده و نص ي ع ى رسولو الكرمي Introduction to the Text & Translation This book is a revised edition of Tasheel al-nahw, which in turn is a somewhat expanded translation of the Urdu language primer of Arabic grammar, Ilm al-nahw by Mawlana Mushtaq Ahmad Charthawali. Mawlana Charthawali s primers for Nahw (Arabic grammar) and Sarf (Arabic Morphology) are standard textbooks in Western madrasahs. The original English translation of Ilm al-nahw was prepared by scholars from Madrasah Islamiyyah, Benoni, South Africa. They put in a lot of hardwork and made the English translation much more beneficial than the Urdu original. May Allah reward them. At least two versions of this translation are available online. The first one had many errors and typing issues. The newer version has made some improvements but issues remain, especially with regards to language and clarity of the English and Arabic texts. We decided to bring out a revised edition of this translation to address these issues. During the course of our revision and editing, we consulted various grammar works including al-nahw al-wadih, Sharh ibn Aqeel, Mu jam al-qawa id al- Arabiyyah, and A Simplified Arabic Grammar of Mawlana Hasan Dockrat. We have completely revised some sections, as well as a number of definitions. The organization has been changed in a way that we feel will make it easier for the student to understand how each section fits in the overall picture. This is a beginner-to-intermediate level text; therefore, we have not transliterated Arabic words exactly, keeping in mind that most people at this stage will not be comfortable with Arabic transliteration schemes. Rather, we have used approximate equivalents that are easier to read for the untrained. Nevertheless, non-english words have been italicized. As for duals and plurals of Arabic words, we have not used the original Arabic duals and plurals; rather, their plurals have been created the English way by adding an s to the singular. Thus, two dammahs is used instead of dammahtain. The word still remains italicized so as to reflect its non-english origin. It should also be noted that the English equivalents of Arabic grammar terms are mere approximations. In some cases, they convey the exact meaning. In many cases, they do not. The student is, therefore, urged to focus on the original term in Arabic. To the best of our ability, we have tried to remove all errors. However, we are merely human. There are bound to be some mistakes in it. Your comments, constructive criticism, and suggestions are all welcome. You can contact us with your feedback at the address given at the end. ix

14 We hope and pray that this revised translation will be of benefit to the students. We also pray that Allah, the Exalted, accepts this humble effort from all those who have contributed to it in any way, especially the typists; and gives us the power to continue with more. We also request the readers and all those who benefit from it in any way to remember us in their prayers. And He alone gives success. و ص ى اهلل ت ع ا ل ع ى خ ي خ قو س يد ن ا و م و ل ن ا م مد و ع ى ا لو و أ ص ح ابو أ ج ع ي Aamir Bashir Buffalo, NY 9 Sha ban, 1432 (8 July, 2011) ainbay97@yahoo.com x

17 CHAPTER 1 Section 1.1 Arabic Grammar ا لن ح و Definition: Nahw is that science, which teaches us how to join a noun, verb and particle to form a correct sentence, as well as what the إ ع ر اب (condition) of the last letter of a word should be.

Objective: The immediate objective is to learn how to read, write and speak correct Arabic, and to avoid making mistakes in this. For example, ل,د ار,ز ي د,د خ and ف are four words. The science of Nahw teaches us how to put them together to form a correct sentence. The mid-term objective is to use our Arabic skills to understand the Qur an, Hadeeth, Fiqh and other Islamic sciences, so that we can act upon them. The ultimate objective through the above is to gain the pleasure of Allah, the Exalted. 1
