Complete guide to study and master Arabic at your home

Introduction
The method mentioned here is based on my personal experience in learning Arabic by using free sources available in the internet.

Level 1: Pre Madinah Books
Recommended prior knowledge
Since this is a logical place to begin the course, no prior knowledge is essential except that you know how to read Arabic texts.

Outline
In this level you will study the book one and two of “Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk”, and you will read entire program of The Imaam Muhammad ibn Saud University.

Learning objectives
Main objective of this self-study course is to teach you the Madinah Arabic series and then master the Arabic grammar. As you are going to study it by yourself, you need to be equipped with sufficient vocabularies to reach at your goal. In fact in reality the Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk and program of The Imaam Muhammad ibn Saud University has nothing to do with Madinah Arabic series, but you will be studying them to understand Arabic as much as possible before starting your real journey.
So objective of this level is – as mentioned above – to enrich your Arabic vocabulary.

How to study
Study Al-Arabiyyah Bayna Yadayk two books from the videos by by Ustadh Abdul-Karim, and in the mean time read the entire program of The Imaam Muhammad ibn Saud University.

Learning resources
Videos

Audios

PDF

Level 2: Madinah Books
Learning objectives
In this level you have to attempt all the books taught at Islamic University of Madinah in the first four semesters.

How to study
You will study the grammar books with the help of video lectures by Br Asif Meherali and the other books by yourself. You will find the answers for all the books in MEDIU's website. You have to complete all the books of a semester before starting the next semester.

  1. as-Salaamu 'aleykum wa rahmatu Allah,

    My schedule is:

    Level 1: Madinah Arabic Course (LQToronto) + Gateway to Arabic. For grammar (analysis, conjunction,...), and a lots of vocabulary and verbs, all easy to understand and memorise .Exelent combination.

    Level 2: al-'Arabiyyatu bayna yadayk. For eading and writing skills improvement.

    Level 3: Imaam al-Saud University Arabic course + an-Nahw al Waadih (revision of all)

    That's the best method, once u finished Madinah Course + Gateway to Arabic, then the rest will be easy in shaa Allah. Make sure that u study with pure intention for Allah, Allah will make it easy for u, in shaa Allah.

    1. Wa 'alaykum salam wa rahmatu Allah,

      If I may ask why did you use this schedule and not the one mentioned in the post? Also after finishing these levels how well would you be in reading, writing, listening, speaking and understanding the Arabic language?

      Jazak Allahu Khair.

    2. Well... If you have a good teacher the " Imaam al-Saud University Arabic course" is enough. I have chosen Bainayadaik before Madinah books when I studied Madina books, it was introduced so much grammar with very little vocabulary.
