00:00:21 --> 00:00:23
			Welcome to our second gathering
		
00:00:24 --> 00:00:24
			on the book
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:27
			An Introduction
		
00:00:27 --> 00:00:28
			to the scaffolding
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			of the Arabic language. The first time we
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			started, we talked about Kalam.
		
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35
			Right? The conditions of proper speech.
		
00:00:36 --> 00:00:37
			The sheikh said
		
00:00:40 --> 00:00:43
			that proper speech is spoken that is 2
		
00:00:43 --> 00:00:46
			or more words that is a complete thought,
		
00:00:46 --> 00:00:47
			any that is beneficial,
		
00:00:47 --> 00:00:49
			and that it follows the syntax of the
		
00:00:49 --> 00:00:51
			Arabs. That takes us now to the second
		
00:00:51 --> 00:00:54
			chapter. This actually is a very invigorating chapter.
		
00:00:54 --> 00:00:55
			I remember
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:57
			when I was studying Arabic for the first
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			time and I was I was intimidated, man.
		
00:01:00 --> 00:01:02
			And my teacher, he said to me,
		
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05
			in Arabic, there's only 3 parts of speech.
		
00:01:05 --> 00:01:06
			I said, wow.
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			In English, there's 8. I Said in Arabic
		
00:01:09 --> 00:01:10
			there's only 3.
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:12
			And I got excited and he said to
		
00:01:12 --> 00:01:12
			me,
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:15
			the Quran and tafsir and hadith and fiqh
		
00:01:15 --> 00:01:17
			and the newspaper, anything,
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			Any form of Arabic communication,
		
00:01:20 --> 00:01:21
			religious or otherwise,
		
00:01:22 --> 00:01:24
			is only going to be made up of
		
00:01:24 --> 00:01:25
			3 parts of speech. I said SubhanAllah.
		
00:01:27 --> 00:01:30
			So Imam Ibnu'a Jerome now, he begins to
		
00:01:30 --> 00:01:34
			identify the 3 parts of speech in Arabic.
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:35
			And he says,
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:48
			The parts of Kalam are 3
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:56
			He says,
		
00:01:56 --> 00:01:57
			nouns,
		
00:01:58 --> 00:01:58
			verbs
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:00
			and articles
		
00:02:01 --> 00:02:02
			that come with meaning
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:04
			or letters
		
00:02:05 --> 00:02:06
			that come with meaning if you want to
		
00:02:06 --> 00:02:10
			translate it literally. Mashallah. That's it, man. That's
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			all you need to understand and be fluent
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			in Arabic,
		
00:02:13 --> 00:02:16
			to understand the Quran, to increase your Khushu
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			and Salah,
		
00:02:18 --> 00:02:20
			to cry when you read the Quran, to
		
00:02:20 --> 00:02:22
			cry when you read hadith of the prophet
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			salallahu alayhi wa sallam.
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:26
			To have a more enhanced relationship with faith
		
00:02:27 --> 00:02:28
			that you can find through the portal of
		
00:02:28 --> 00:02:29
			the Arabic language
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:32
			is three parts of speech. Again, he says,
		
00:02:39 --> 00:02:41
			at the parts of speech are 3.
		
00:02:43 --> 00:02:45
			Somebody may may ask why why the scholars
		
00:02:46 --> 00:02:48
			because you'll notice this as we go through
		
00:02:48 --> 00:02:50
			text together. Our next text after this is
		
00:02:50 --> 00:02:52
			a book called, Muhatu Al Arab.
		
00:02:53 --> 00:02:54
			You'll notice that scholars note
		
00:02:55 --> 00:02:57
			that they would always start you'll notice that
		
00:02:57 --> 00:02:58
			scholars
		
00:02:58 --> 00:03:01
			you'll notice that scholars always start with nouns.
		
00:03:01 --> 00:03:04
			Somebody may ask why because Allah Subhanahu Wa
		
00:03:04 --> 00:03:05
			Ta'ala
		
00:03:05 --> 00:03:07
			as I heard from one of my teachers
		
00:03:07 --> 00:03:09
			when he created Adam the first thing he
		
00:03:09 --> 00:03:11
			taught Adam was what?
		
00:03:15 --> 00:03:18
			Was the Asma, the nouns, names of things.
		
00:03:18 --> 00:03:20
			So scholars like to follow
		
00:03:21 --> 00:03:22
			that type
		
00:03:22 --> 00:03:24
			of logic, right, the type of logic.
		
00:03:25 --> 00:03:27
			So the first part of speech is a
		
00:03:27 --> 00:03:28
			noun.
		
00:03:28 --> 00:03:30
			Example of a noun Suhaybon,
		
00:03:31 --> 00:03:32
			Al Quran,
		
00:03:33 --> 00:03:34
			Huwa,
		
00:03:34 --> 00:03:35
			Al Levi.
		
00:03:36 --> 00:03:38
			Those are all examples of nouns.
		
00:03:39 --> 00:03:39
			Mecca,
		
00:03:40 --> 00:03:40
			Medina,
		
00:03:41 --> 00:03:42
			Palestine,
		
00:03:43 --> 00:03:45
			all those are examples of nouns.
		
00:03:49 --> 00:03:50
			All those are examples of nouns.
		
00:04:02 --> 00:04:04
			That a noun is a word that directs
		
00:04:04 --> 00:04:05
			to meaning which is not
		
00:04:07 --> 00:04:08
			restricted by tense.
		
00:04:09 --> 00:04:10
			So suhayb
		
00:04:11 --> 00:04:12
			that directs you to me, but it's not
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:14
			like in the past, present, or future.
		
00:04:15 --> 00:04:17
			The next word or type of speech that
		
00:04:17 --> 00:04:19
			we find in Arabic
		
00:04:20 --> 00:04:20
			is
		
00:04:21 --> 00:04:21
			verbs.
		
00:04:22 --> 00:04:24
			The plural of verbs is
		
00:04:24 --> 00:04:28
			and excuse me the plural of nouns is
		
00:04:30 --> 00:04:31
			So ism
		
00:04:31 --> 00:04:32
			is the singular,
		
00:04:33 --> 00:04:35
			is the plural. For verbs,
		
00:04:36 --> 00:04:37
			Fir is the singular,
		
00:04:38 --> 00:04:38
			Afaal
		
00:04:39 --> 00:04:40
			is the plural.
		
00:04:41 --> 00:04:43
			Examples of verbs in Arabic
		
00:05:02 --> 00:05:02
			The
		
00:05:03 --> 00:05:05
			they said that a verb is a word
		
00:05:05 --> 00:05:08
			which directs to its own meaning,
		
00:05:08 --> 00:05:09
			but is
		
00:05:10 --> 00:05:10
			restricted
		
00:05:11 --> 00:05:12
			by 1 of 3 tenses.
		
00:05:19 --> 00:05:20
			Past, present,
		
00:05:20 --> 00:05:21
			future.
		
00:05:23 --> 00:05:24
			So let's quickly go back.
		
00:05:33 --> 00:05:35
			A noun is a word which directs to
		
00:05:35 --> 00:05:37
			its own meaning, but it's not
		
00:05:37 --> 00:05:38
			related to tense.
		
00:05:39 --> 00:05:40
			A verb,
		
00:05:41 --> 00:05:41
			a word,
		
00:05:42 --> 00:05:43
			that directs
		
00:05:44 --> 00:05:45
			to a meaning
		
00:05:46 --> 00:05:47
			on its own.
		
00:05:50 --> 00:05:51
			However, it
		
00:05:54 --> 00:05:56
			is related to one of 3 tenses
		
00:05:58 --> 00:05:59
			which is past
		
00:06:01 --> 00:06:02
			present
		
00:06:05 --> 00:06:06
			future future
		
00:06:06 --> 00:06:08
			we have 3 type of verbs
		
00:06:09 --> 00:06:11
			And I'm gonna make this as simple as
		
00:06:11 --> 00:06:13
			possible and we'll unpack this in the future.
		
00:06:13 --> 00:06:15
			The first is a past tense verb, it's
		
00:06:15 --> 00:06:16
			called maldi.
		
00:06:16 --> 00:06:18
			Maldi. For example,
		
00:06:18 --> 00:06:19
			jalasa.
		
00:06:20 --> 00:06:21
			Jalasa, he set.
		
00:06:23 --> 00:06:25
			The second type of verb is present future.
		
00:06:27 --> 00:06:28
			Called Mudare.
		
00:06:30 --> 00:06:32
			We'll talk about in the future that the
		
00:06:32 --> 00:06:34
			word Mudare in Arabic actually means Mutasheb.
		
00:06:35 --> 00:06:38
			Something similar to something else. But now most
		
00:06:38 --> 00:06:40
			people think Muldari means most taqbal,
		
00:06:41 --> 00:06:42
			the future. But we'll talk about the story
		
00:06:42 --> 00:06:43
			of Hafiz Ibrahim
		
00:06:44 --> 00:06:46
			and the Ulema of Azhar that happened almost
		
00:06:46 --> 00:06:48
			a 100 years ago, SubhanAllah.
		
00:06:48 --> 00:06:49
			But Al Mudari,
		
00:06:50 --> 00:06:51
			its true meaning
		
00:06:52 --> 00:06:54
			is that it's similar to something else.
		
00:06:55 --> 00:06:58
			Meaning here similar to nouns, talk about that
		
00:06:58 --> 00:06:59
			in the future.
		
00:06:59 --> 00:07:01
			But for the sake of brevity and ease,
		
00:07:01 --> 00:07:04
			let's just say Al Mudaria means Al Mustaqbal,
		
00:07:04 --> 00:07:05
			the future.
		
00:07:06 --> 00:07:07
			An example of Mudaria,
		
00:07:08 --> 00:07:10
			I'll take the verb in the past,
		
00:07:10 --> 00:07:11
			The
		
00:07:11 --> 00:07:13
			you'll notice that suddenly there's a in front
		
00:07:13 --> 00:07:14
			of it.
		
00:07:18 --> 00:07:19
			Means he's sitting.
		
00:07:20 --> 00:07:21
			I can say
		
00:07:22 --> 00:07:22
			or
		
00:07:26 --> 00:07:28
			That scene and that word
		
00:07:29 --> 00:07:32
			take from the present to the future. So
		
00:07:33 --> 00:07:34
			he's sitting now.
		
00:07:36 --> 00:07:37
			He will sit.
		
00:07:39 --> 00:07:41
			He will sit. So how many verbs have
		
00:07:41 --> 00:07:43
			we taken now? 2. Maldi,
		
00:07:43 --> 00:07:44
			past,
		
00:07:46 --> 00:07:47
			present future.
		
00:07:51 --> 00:07:53
			Remember that scene in sofa
		
00:07:54 --> 00:07:57
			that came before Modare because they're going to
		
00:07:57 --> 00:07:58
			come back very soon
		
00:07:59 --> 00:08:00
			and play a pivotal role
		
00:08:01 --> 00:08:03
			in your recognition of verbs.
		
00:08:04 --> 00:08:06
			The last type of verb is called
		
00:08:08 --> 00:08:09
			is an order,
		
00:08:09 --> 00:08:10
			so
		
00:08:15 --> 00:08:16
			sit,
		
00:08:17 --> 00:08:17
			sit down.
		
00:08:19 --> 00:08:20
			It's a command.
		
00:08:20 --> 00:08:22
			It's very important in the fiqh and also
		
00:08:22 --> 00:08:23
			the fiqh because
		
00:08:26 --> 00:08:29
			in in the Quran and in Hadith, when
		
00:08:29 --> 00:08:31
			we find the form of an order, it's
		
00:08:31 --> 00:08:33
			understood that that thing
		
00:08:33 --> 00:08:34
			is an obligation.
		
00:08:35 --> 00:08:35
			Usually.
		
00:08:36 --> 00:08:36
			Usually.
		
00:08:37 --> 00:08:39
			Remember that, that's very important.
		
00:08:39 --> 00:08:41
			So how many types of verbs have we
		
00:08:41 --> 00:08:42
			taken now?
		
00:08:43 --> 00:08:43
			3.
		
00:08:44 --> 00:08:45
			Maldi,
		
00:08:45 --> 00:08:46
			present future.
		
00:08:49 --> 00:08:51
			And the command what's called
		
00:08:51 --> 00:08:52
			amr
		
00:08:52 --> 00:08:54
			amr with hamza,
		
00:08:54 --> 00:08:56
			not ain, amr
		
00:08:56 --> 00:08:57
			amr
		
00:08:57 --> 00:08:57
			amr.
		
00:08:58 --> 00:08:59
			Ijlis
		
00:09:00 --> 00:09:01
			sit
		
00:09:03 --> 00:09:05
			Sit. The last part of the speech
		
00:09:05 --> 00:09:07
			that the Sheikh mentions is
		
00:09:09 --> 00:09:12
			literally translated as a letter that comes with
		
00:09:12 --> 00:09:13
			meaning.
		
00:09:14 --> 00:09:16
			Because there are some letters that come with
		
00:09:16 --> 00:09:17
			meaning like for example,
		
00:09:18 --> 00:09:18
			seen.
		
00:09:19 --> 00:09:21
			I just gave you that earlier.
		
00:09:22 --> 00:09:24
			I said the word the letter seen means
		
00:09:24 --> 00:09:27
			future. So seen is a haraf. Haraf means
		
00:09:27 --> 00:09:28
			letter.
		
00:09:28 --> 00:09:30
			Seen is a haraf
		
00:09:30 --> 00:09:31
			that can have meaning.
		
00:09:32 --> 00:09:34
			Unlike for example, say the letter,
		
00:09:35 --> 00:09:36
			zay.
		
00:09:37 --> 00:09:39
			If you just write down the letter za,
		
00:09:39 --> 00:09:40
			has no meaning.
		
00:09:40 --> 00:09:42
			But if you write down the letter seen
		
00:09:42 --> 00:09:43
			in the right
		
00:09:46 --> 00:09:48
			context that brings with it a meaning.
		
00:09:49 --> 00:09:51
			Ideally, the Sheikh he means
		
00:09:51 --> 00:09:53
			prepositional phrases
		
00:09:54 --> 00:09:55
			prepositional phrases,
		
00:09:56 --> 00:09:58
			but there are also other types of articles
		
00:09:58 --> 00:10:01
			letters that are not prepositional phrases
		
00:10:01 --> 00:10:03
			that also come
		
00:10:03 --> 00:10:04
			with meaning
		
00:10:05 --> 00:10:06
			that also come with meaning
		
00:10:08 --> 00:10:09
			So how to Jare Alimah,
		
00:10:10 --> 00:10:12
			so he took 3 parts of speech, Masha'Allah.
		
00:10:16 --> 00:10:17
			Some examples of how quickly
		
00:10:18 --> 00:10:19
			men from
		
00:10:19 --> 00:10:23
			fi, in, ila, to an, from
		
00:10:24 --> 00:10:25
			fi, inside,
		
00:10:26 --> 00:10:27
			li, to,
		
00:10:29 --> 00:10:30
			and so on and so forth.
		
00:10:31 --> 00:10:32
			So
		
00:10:38 --> 00:10:40
			Again, the Sheikh he says,
		
00:10:46 --> 00:10:48
			Next time we're going to pick up
		
00:10:49 --> 00:10:52
			something really important and I'm assuming that that
		
00:10:52 --> 00:10:54
			question may be stirring
		
00:10:54 --> 00:10:56
			in your head right now
