IMPORTANT GUIDELINES Prerequisite: You should be able to read Arabic text. Duration: 9 hours (Preferably in 2 to 3 sessioss) Some Guidelines for using the Short Course Effectively: We will learn with love, smiles, and relaxation. This is a thoroughly interactive short course therefore listen attentively, and participate continuously. We are practicing so there is no problem even if you do mistakes. Nobody learns without first committing mistakes. The one who practices more will get more even if he/she commits mistake. Remember the golden rule: I listen, I forget. I see, I remember. I practice, I learn. Remember the 3 levels of learning: o o o Listening (without paying attention). Your ear hears noises. Listening carelessly or with doubt. Listening interactively; listening with HEART; responding immediately to the points. Space after MOTIVATIONAL AND LEARNING TIPS is left blank for you to take notes and add other things to it based on your experience. If the space is not enough, you may use back side of the paper. Each lesson is followed by Grammar. Grammar contents is not directly related with the main lesson simply because it will be too complicated to analyze grammatical aspects of the lesson in the first class. It may require separate Grammar teaching before we start studying Surahs. Therefore, Grammar lessons build up your Arabic Grammar in parallel to vocabulary that you learn in the main lesson. DON T FORGET TO DO THE 7 HOMEWORKS AS WILL BE EXPLAINED DURING THE COURSE. And MOST IMPORTANT of all: Don t forget to carry that vocabulary sheet in your pocket/purse and refer to it at least 5 times during a day. The 7 Homeworks are: Two for Tilawat: 1. At least FIVE minutes recitation (for the beginner) of the Qur'an from the Mushaf. 2. At least FIVE minutes recitation of the Qur'an from memory during activities such as walking. Two for Study: 3. At least FIVE minutes study of the Word-for- Word translation (or from this book, for the beginners). 4. 30 seconds study of the vocabulary booklet or sheet, preferably before or after every Salah or any other suitable intervals. ALWAYS carry the vocabulary booklet with you till you complete the course. Two for Listening and talking to others: 5. Listening to a tape which contains these recitations with word-by-word meanings (in your car while driving and at your home while doing household chores). You can record the contents of this course yourselves into a tape, in case a recorded tape is not available. 6. Talking to your colleague for 1 minute every day regarding the lesson (if you are studying it in a class). The last one for using it: 7. Recitation of the last 14 Surahs in rotation in the Sunan and Nawafil of daily Salah. ر ب And two more homeworks on Du'aa (i) for self and (ii) for others that Allah helps us all ;ز د ن ي ع ل م ا to fulfill our duties towards Qur'an. The best way to learn is to teach, and the best way to teach someone is to turn him into a teacher.
