Arabic Through the Qur'an

Written by Prof Alan Jones, professor of Arabic at Oxford University, this work aims at teaching Arabic using only the vocabulary in the Quran. In forty lessons and starting with the alphabet, Arabic Through the Quran covers the whole of Arabic grammar. Each lesson is followed by exercises and a key to the exercises is available at the end of the book. Arabic Through the Quran gives the student a thorough understanding of Arabic grammar and a substantial vocabulary from the Quran including many of the often repeated verses. Arabic Through the Quran is an indispensable aid both to those wanting to learn Arabic in order to be able to read the Quran and to Arabic students at university level.
