Arabic

Naḥw, ṣarf, and the language of revelation.

Notes on classical Arabic grammar (naḥw) and morphology (ṣarf), structured around the readers traditionally used to bridge the language of the Qur'an and Sunnah: Tasheel al-Naḥw, Hidāyat al-Naḥw, Qaṭr al-Nadā, and the Madinah course.

Where vocabulary or rhetorical features of the Qur'an are unpacked, the relevant verses are cited inline so the rule and the example sit on the same page.
