Access to Quranic Arabic Textbook and 4 Access CDs for Textbook and Selections. Access to Qur'anic Arabic (Textbook, Workbook, Selections) 1. 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.

Access to Qur'anic Arabic - Selections This book of annotated Selections from the Qur'an has passages that feature the select vocabulary and illusrate points of grammar, structure and style covered in the Textbook with some additional material included...read more
