A Brief History About Uqbah'S Arabic Class For Sisters 2006-2007


The class started at the beginning of August 2006.we had two levels the beginners and the intermediate,a teacher and an assistant sometimes two, around 30 sisters attended the class as students .
The first level worked on the alphabet while the second level who already know how to read worked mainly on Conversational Arabic and learned more vocabulary.
We had some interesting activities which helped the students to practice more their Arabic Language. All the students had to go to one of the stores and to do their shopping in Arabic. We have the whole conversation posted in the blog below with its translation.They all enjoyed the experience and they had fun.
The other main activity was that we had a tea party where the students have learned how to welcome their guests in Arabic and to start a simple conversation with them.They also learned the ingredients of how to make a Traditional Moroccan tea recipe.
In the 2nd semester we have focused on learning how to read Quran with the appropriate Tajweed rules .
the main activity of this semester is that we have organized a competition for the students on April the 1st where we had 2 groups (the group:AlMujahedaad and the group:AlFa'izaat) competing against each other on the Tajweed rules and Quran recitation. It was an open invitation where sisters came to encourage there friends in the competition. The AlFaizat group won the first 2 rounds and the AlMujaheedat group took over and won the competition from the last round. In the recitation round the 2 groups were pretty equal.Both groups were well prepared and did well in the competition.We all enjoyed the competition and we are looking forward to organizing more activities for the class.

Tajweed 1: Introduction About Tajweed


Why should we read the Qur'an with Tajweed?

Here are some evidence of tajweed from Qur'an and sunnah:
  • ورتل القران ترتيلا
    (Al-Muzzamil 4)
and recite the Qur'an(aloud)in a slow pleasant टोनेand style.
  • والذين اتيناهم الكتاب يتلونه حق تلاوته اولائك يومنون به
    (al baqarah 121)
those to whom we gave the book recite it as it should be recited,they are the ones that beleive therein.

  • حق تلاوته
    is reading it as it was revealed by Allah means reading it with tajweed as the Prophet peace and blessings be upon him read with what is now known as tajweed.
The messenger peace and blessings upon Him, ordered his companions to take [learn] the Qur'an from four of the sahabah and these were the best in recitation so that they could learn from them the correct techniques and how the revelation was pronounced .
Some books on the sciences of Qur'an state that if the recitation changes the make up of the word or the meaning then it is sinful recitation.
For those that cant fix a mistake but try to or cant find teacher Allah doesnt burden a soul with more that it can bear.

Tajweed 2: Thin And Thick Letters


Heaviness and Lightness التفخيم و الترقيق


The definition of tafkheem: Fattening


Its applied definition
: It is a heaviness that enters the body of the letter, so that the mouth is filled with its

reverberation (echo).
The linguistic definition of tarqeeq : Thinness


Its applied definition:
It is a thinness that enters the body of the letter, so the mouth is not filled with its

reverberation (echo).

The Arabic letters are divided into three groups as to tafkheem and tarqeeq:

1. Letters that always have tafkheem. خ - ص - ض - غ - ط - ق - ظ

2. Letters that have tafkheem sometimes and tarqeeq other times.

b) The( ( لin the Glorious name ofالله .

c) The (

3. Letters that always have tarqeeq. This group consists of the rest of the Arabic alphabet.

Tajweed 3: Qalqalah


The Qalqalah

The letters of qalqalah are in the group . If we attempt to say one of these five qalqalah letters with a sukoon( ق ط ب ج د ), we would find that the articulation point closes completely, and that it causes an annoyance in the articulation mechanism. This is due to imprisonment of the sound behind the articulation point. When these same five letters have vowels, we do not find this annoyance because voweled letters are pronounced parting of the two components of the articulating parts.

Tajweed 11: THE RULES OF MADD




The Mudood (Lengthenings) Part 1
Its linguistic definition: Extra
Its applied definition: Lengthening of the sound with a letter of the madd letters.
The madd letters are in the following three cases:
1. The alif is always in this state, which is an alif saakinah, preceded by a fathah:
2. The ي saakinah preceded by a kasrah
3. The و saakinah preceded by a dhammah:
All three of these madd letters appear in one word in the following examples
اوذينا نوحيها اوتيها
The leen letters
*The و saakinah preceded by a fat-hah, such as: او
* The ي sakinah preceded by a fat-hah), such as: شيء


The madd is divided into two groups:
1. (The Original Madd) المد الاصلي
2. (The Secondary Madd) المد الفرعي
The Natural Lengthening المد الطبيعي
Its definition: It is the medd (lengthening) that without which the letter cannot exist (the timing), and it does not stop due to a hamzah or a sukoon.
Its indications: There should not be a hamzah before it, and there should not be a hamzah or sukoon after it.
It is named original because it is the origin of all mudood (lengthenings). It is called natural because the person with a natural measure will not increase its measure nor decrease it.
Its timing: It is lengthened two vowel counts.
The timing of each count depends on the speed of the reciter. Each vowel should be equal in count to the other, and the mudood of two, four, five, and six counts should be equal to that many vowels.
Examples of (the natural lengthening ): كما معدودات

In all these three words, have a natural madd with different madd letters and will have the timing of two vowel counts. A note, the word has a natural madd as long as we do not stop on the word. As stated before in the indications of the natural madd there cannot be a sukoon after the madd letter. If we were to stop on this word, the letter would acquire a presented sukoon, and the madd would no longer be considered a natural madd, but would be a different kind of madd, Included in المد الطبيعي is the group of letters " حي طهر ", which are letters that start some surahs of the Qur’an. If any one of these letters is at the beginning of a surah, the letter is read with two vowel counts. An example of this would be: طه . Another example is in the letters and pronounced as in the opening verse of surah Maryam: كهيعص .
