The School of Arabic at Salikeen Seminary is dedicated to equipping students with a deep and lasting command of the Arabic language — the language of the Quran, the Sunnah, and the great scholars of this Ummah. Beginning with a strong foundation in Quranic Arabic, students are guided through the classical tradition before venturing into the deeper dimensions of the language — its grammar, morphology, and rhetoric — developing the tools necessary to engage directly with sacred texts and appreciate the linguistic miracle of the Quran.
A foundational Arabic language course designed to give students the grammatical and vocabulary tools needed for Islamic textual study. Topics include basic morphology (Sarf), introductory syntax (Nahw), and vocabulary building through Quranic and Hadith texts. This course is a prerequisite for all advanced religious studies courses.
Building on ISL-101, this course develops students' ability to read classical Islamic texts with increasing independence. Advanced Nahw and Sarf topics are studied alongside extended reading practice from selected religious texts. Students are introduced to the style and vocabulary of classical Arabic prose.
