Following the beginner series Easy Steps in Arabic, Access to Qur'anic Arabic aids the advanced or adult student in learning the language of the Qur'an. An integrated set of books that cover the basic grammar and structure of Arabic using only Qur'anic words and examples throughout; the books are only available as a set. Based on the premise that most non-Arabs learn the Arabic language primarily to enable their reading of the Qur'an, the author has developed these highly useful and easy to follow guidebooks and accompanying audiotapes. Audiotapes contain the full recording of the selections from the Qur'an. Attractively packaged and very well produced. It is necessary to be able to read Arabic script in order to be able to use this set. Access to Qur'anic Arabic (Textbook, Workbook, Selections)

Access to Qur'anic Arabic – Textbook
The “Textbook” covers the basic grammar and structure of Arabic using Qur'anic words, phrases and sentences throughout. It is also based on the principle of word frequency in the Qur'an. It uses three Word Lists - with words occurring over 100 times, between 50 and 100 times and between 25 and 49 times in the Qur'an. This approach has two benefits. Users will not be burdened with a very large vocabulary from the outset, and with non-Qur'anic vocabulary. By mastering the select vocabulary, they will be able to understand much and quickly. The page layout and design of the book should make it easy to follow.
