Course Review
★★★★☆
Before the course, much of the grammar I had learned felt like rules I had memorized blindly. Now I am filling gaps in my knowledge, having countless lightbulb moments while reading the Qur’an, and understanding the reasoning behind the rules.

Ustadh Ibrahim is extremely clear and efficient in his teaching. After a year of study, I can read and understand intermediate Arabic, speak and write more consistently, follow intermediate listening material, translate many Qur’anic verses, and analyse them grammatically.

My proficiency in iʿrāb was very weak before the course. Now I am much more confident and have gained a far better understanding of the iʿrāb of words and sentences, alḥamdulillāh.

For years I memorised grammar rules without really understanding how they worked in real reading. Here, the concepts are explained clearly, then reinforced repeatedly through sentence analysis. Arabic grammar has become something I can understand, apply, and actually enjoy studying.

The course has helped me identify grammatical operators and understand their effect on sentence structure, parsing, and meaning. The organisation of the text and the instructor’s commentary make the material memorable and practical.

Before studying this Ṣarf curriculum, I had started and stopped learning Arabic several times and often wondered whether I would ever reach the point of reading unvowelled texts confidently. Through the course, I began to recognise morphological patterns for myself and understand how they shape meaning. A moment when I independently analysed the word حَبِيب made me realise that Ṣarf was becoming something I could actually apply, not merely memorise. The teaching is extremely precise, and I look forward to continuing my studies.

"The delivery and breakdown of the material is excellent. Clearly, the Ustadh (Moustafa) is a master. He makes the content accessible, and no time is wasted on superfluous matters. In other classes, there is a lot of discussion on material that an average student of balagha would never come across or is not necessary at this stage."

Safwan - Tayseer ul-Balagha Course

"It helped achieve the goal that I wanted from the course of a practical implementation of I'raab. The teacher also takes time to break up more complex concepts In a concise manner."

Omar - Arabic Reading 101

"Teaching style. Interactions. Homework. Almost everything is great"

Abdul Rasheed - Tayseer  ul-Balagha Course

"Thorough covering of the science. Reference material and further reading given. Timing and length of course was just right. I liked how everything started to link together from my study of Nahw, Sarf, Balagha, Qira'at and Tawheed.
Alhamdulillah I was happy with the course, wanted to do this course for a long time but most seminaries or madrassas don't teach it."

Zafar - Fiqh ul-Lughah Course

The Arabic School is the Right Choice!

"Studying Arabic syntax and morphology with Shaykh Ibrahim has been an absolute pleasure . We have been focusing on Alfiyah Ibn Malik (Arabic Grammer) and Shad al Arf (Arabic Morphology). He has a gift for simplifying the material, making it digestible for the beginner, intermediate, and even the advanced student of the Arabic language. He does not move on to the next topic unless he ensures that you have fully comprehended everything that was covered. He is extremely patient and gentle when teaching and very encouraging. In addition to all of these praiseworthy qualities, he has a great amount of knowledge about the subject matter and can refer you to important books, scholars, and even additional YouTube lessons on the same book. I would advise anyone who wants to progress in the Arabic language to study with Shaykh Ibrahim Farooqui."

Amazing Learning Experience

"Ustadh Ibrahim provides excellent teaching and care to all of his students. He utilizes various content to acquaint students with the different aspects of the Arabic language. They are also offered sufficient exercises and homework to further aid their comprehension. In the end, students have a more well-rounded grasp of the Arabic Language, efficiently speaking, reading, writing, and listening. Additionally, Ustadh Ibrahim exhibits excellent character and manners, which are highly desired in any teacher. "

A Very Effective Method of Teaching!

Currently I'm learning Arabic language with Ustadh Ibrahim (وفقه الله) in their "Level 2: The Arabic Journey" program at At-Tahdhib Institute. And I'm so happy that I have chosen the right place for learning Arabic language. Also Ustadh Ibrahim is teaching us the language in an effective method which is very beneficial for us.
