Welcome back to our class on clear Arabic.
We've now reached
the 4th section in this important text, Insha'Allah.
So let's get started.
And what he's talking about or they are
talking about the 2 authors here
is really one of the major foundations of
the language man.
Alfa'il is the verb subject. So you'll have
a verb and then the Fa'il.
And there are certain signs of the Fa'il,
but I'm gonna make it easy for you.
Just remember the dama.
You see dama
here.
Or
alif.
So
would be like a singular
one
doer.
But look,
You see that wow right there?
That wow is what we say,
that wau
right here,
the place of dama in a plural. So
this is
doers
doers.
Another example.
So if you look here, you see this
alif.
See if I can try to capture for
that alif right there.
That alif also we say nia batan
anilbam. And that's why it's good to study
Ajoromia which I explained at Swiss
along with this book because, is
going to give you these kind of indicators
of certain things like how do you recognize
the subject?
How do you recognize a verb subject? How
do you recognize a noun subject? And so
on and so forth. So,
again, just to make it easy for you,
I want you to remember something very important.
Bama
is usually associated
with the doer.
Something that's doing something like Muhammad.
Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. Okay? That's
a noun subject. If I say
came. So who's doing the coming? Who's doing
the maji? Is suhaib. So suhaib
The Muslims
are doing good. So,
Wow.
And so on and so forth. I I
need you to remember this. This is very
important. And if you don't know these things,
this is going to be hard for you.
This book is sort of this book I'm
explaining now is kind of like for the
mottawasati,
like people in the middle who studied some
Arabic, but they need to acquire vocabulary,
and they want to work on their composition.
If you're new to this,
I can't encourage you enough to go enroll
in my school Swiss swihibub.com.
It's only $10 a month.
All the courses are there, many courses, but
one of them is the foundations of Arabic
language, which explains this
in a more abstract way. But those abstractions
provide you with things that I just talked
about which are also
a key component of learning Arabic.
So Alfa'il
is the verb subject.
The verb subject, the doer of the verb.
It's not the object, the object is next.
It's what receives
the action of the fa'il. That's why it's
called the object. I like to call it
the dude. I tell my students, this is
the doer, that's the dude, Masha'Allah.
Because I like to teach Arabic from the
perspective of meaning,
not necessarily abstractions, but you need some of
those abstract concepts and rules to help, you
know, frame the meaning in the right way.
Masha'Allah. It's a great example of how to
navigate postmodernity.
SubhanAllah. The learning of language.
Alamthilatoo.
Alamthilay
is the plural of,
al misal,
the example.
Al amphira
tarra flew alros4.
Don't say as4. It's very famous but
the nightingale.
So here look, there is the because
who's doing the flying
is the nightingale.
So the nightingale flew.
The horse
is, the horse ran.
These are very simple but beautiful sentences.
Great to learn.
Great to grab the vocabulary.
Just practice, practice, practice, practice, practice.
So
So the nightingales
flew,
the the horse ran, the child played.
Means
to
float.
The
fish
is floating
is floating. This is a present future verb.
How do you know that
this is because
right? The plural.
Means to sting.
To sting.
When I ask people about their their their
their their Arabic language,
I've noticed that there's different levels
of comprehension and understanding.
And I would say that the first level
is people who can read,
don't necessarily understand what they're reading,
which is great.
The second are people who study, say, religion
or a specific
specific field. For me, I would say I
noticed this when I was in Esar.
You'll find people who are fluent in their
subject matter,
but outside of that, their vocabulary begins to
wane and their usage begins to wane.
The third,
what I would call accomplished
Arabists,
are those who are not only fluent in
talking about, say for me, Fiqh or Quran
or Arabic,
but they are also able to talk about
things like mosquitoes stinging,
or a fish swimming. They are also able
to utilize the language
in daily life.
Al Hayat Al Adiya.
And for me, that tells me someone
worked hard. Not only did they speak Arabic
at school, they spoke Arabic at home. Not
only did they speak Arabic at Azhar, they
spoke Arabic in the streets.
I remember, subhanAllah, in Egypt, there were some
Malaysian brothers, masha'Allah,
very very charismatic, great brothers,
who, masha'Allah,
if any of them spoke Malay
in their dorm, they would have to pay
money.
So they force themselves
to speak.
So
is a mosquito.
And that's why I like this book. It's
It's going to force us to acquire
vocabulary, which is outside of most of our
fields of study. But usually, we do that
with slang. So this book is gonna keep
us
tied and anchored to the pure Arabic language.
Taqululbint,
the girl
is eating.
Again, if you look at both
and
verb subject, verb subject, verb subject, verb subject,
verb
subject, verb subject, verb subject.
Masha'Allah, this is this is you're gonna find
this on Quran.
Allahu Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala, he says,
Right?
So,
is a verb.
But look here, what I want you to
see is
Same sentence that you're gonna find in the
Quran.
Same form, verb
subject.
Verb,
subject.
So let's quickly look at these words. It's
very important that you acquire them and I
plan to add at SWISS soon a text
course where we actually start to read text
together like Harry Potter.
Okay?
The
bird flew. The the
the horse ran.
The child
played.
I'm reading it so you can hear it.
Get used even though, you know, I understand
we're supposed to stop in sukoon, but I
want you to practice reading it with the
Arab.
Let's see now what he says
in the
Do you remember when I asked you last
time what is the of
this word?
What is the anonym of a sabiqa?
Is alatiya.
The alamfilatusabiqa,
these previous
examples Every single one of them is a
sentence. Meaning,
I didn't say
don't forget this.
And every one of these sentences is is
composed of this is from the word
to be.
1 is made up of, right, min
from
verb,
and a noun.
This is really, really very important and beautiful
language. Simple,
beautiful. Fusha does not have to be complex.
You don't have to go to the dictionary
and use some really strange words. That's not
Fus The word
Fusah
means something's clear.
Something's clear. It has clarity.
And
if we were to, you know, take a
moment to reflect and look
Fil Am Filatissalatheal
Ula in the first three examples which are
here. Let me raise this up for you.
These are Al Amfilatissalathetil
Ula.
These examples right
here.
We would notice
that what flew
whenever you read in Arabic
and you're wondering what is being said, ask
yourself,
who's doing the verb? Like here,
So what he's doing here, actually, this is
really nice, man. And again, I can't say
enough about this awesome book,
is he's teaching you how to be a
critical reader.
How to ask yourself questions about what you're
reading.
So he said, if you're to sit back
and look at these examples, you would notice
that the one that flew is the is
the nightingale. The one that ran is the
horse, and the one that played is the
one that who's doing it?
And why I like this book also
is here he's showing you the Masdar
of the verb.
So these are all Masadir. People ask me
all the time, how do I learn the
Masdar's of the verbs?
By reading,
by reading,
by reading. Hey,
Iqora,
read
and write. And you know what? Look at
how many people actually viewed this page.
That tells you man, you're one of the
few Masha Allah.
And for me personally,
I I I I worry that the Muslim
community has tied itself to quick
burst of dunya attention and left the work
that you're putting in right now. I wanna
stop and tell you keep
going,
And I have your back inshallah.
But this text, look, the verb, the master,
the verb, the master, the verb, the mustar.
These 2 writers, may Allah bless
So he says,
thus, the one who flew,
the one who
engaged in the act of flying
is the nightingale.
The thing which engaged in the act of
running
is the horse,
and that which was engaged in the act
of playing
was the child.
For that reason, every one of those words
since they were engaged in the act of
are called fa'il.
And the same thing could be said for
And if we're to look at every one
of those those those those nouns, right, in
these examples, we would notice that each one
of them is preceded Masbukan.
You know, we call the Sahaba in Mecca
because they preceded everyone. Same word.
We would find that it was preceded with
a verb.
Right?
So if you look at all these,
they're all multiple.
All of them have done, Masha'Allah. Masha'Allah.
So now you introduce us to this rule.
The subject of a verb
is a noun. Why do I say ism?
Because it starts the sentence. If I said,
but here you're gonna stop.
Is a is a is a noun. A
fat is a noun, which is in the
rough. Okay.
Which has proceeded usually talk about this in
rhetoric in the future
with a verb.
And the purpose and this is really important.
And this is something that,
Jeremiah doesn't give you.
It it directs you to what?
Who is doing the action?
This is really really nice sentence Masha'Allah.
In English, it doesn't make much sense, but
in Arabic, Masha'Allah is super clear.
Isn't this much better than, like, engaging in
Facebook debates and Twitter wars and what the
scholar said, this and that nonsense?
Learn the deen man.
Let's
look at our drills. We're gonna do that
next time inshallah, but let's just review. We
talked about
