Arabic: Zero 2 Hero
A structured Arabic programme for beginners, guided by the Madinah Arabic Books and enriched with Qur'anic examples, grammar, morphology, exercises and interactive learning.
3 semesters · 10 months · 3 core texts + supporting texts
Three semesters.
One foundation.
Learn the language of the Qur'an
For many Muslims, Arabic begins and ends with recitation. You can read the words, recognise familiar phrases and know the translation of many verses, but understanding Arabic on its own can still feel distant.
This programme is designed to bridge that gap through a structured progression in Arabic, with Qur'anic examples and the tools needed to understand how the language works.
What you'll learn
We believe Arabic should be learned systematically: encounter a concept, practise it, apply it in real Arabic, then begin to understand.
Build the vocabulary and fundamental structures needed to begin learning Arabic.
Understand how Arabic sentences are constructed and how words function within them.
Explore Arabic word patterns and how changes in form influence meaning.
Develop a growing Arabic vocabulary through structured lessons and repeated exposure.
Move from recognising individual words to understanding expressions and sentences.
See the principles you learn applied to selected examples from the Qur'an.
The programme
Our primary textbook is Durūs al-Lughah al-ʿArabiyyah li-Ghayr al-Nāṭiqīna Bihā by Dr. V. Abdur Rahim. Alongside the Madinah Books, students study Naḥw and Ṣarf.

Our approach
Live classes, interactive sessions, structured notes and recordings for revision and catch-up.
See the concepts you learn applied to selected examples from the Qur'an and Islamic texts.
The journey
Each semester adds another layer of independence: vocabulary and conversation, morphology, then grammar and text analysis.
Vocabulary · Sentence patterns · Basic grammar · Conversation
Ṣarf · Roots · Patterns · Verb formation
Naḥw · Iʿrāb · Analysis · Islamic texts

You do not need to know Arabic already. You simply need the willingness to learn consistently.
