الْأَبْجَدِيَّة
The alphabet
Twenty-eight letters, right to left.
Learn Arabic from the script up.
A structured path through reading, fuṣḥā, grammar, and marked texts — for learners who want to understand how Arabic works. Idafah is named for iḍāfah, the of-construction.

the whole path
How it works
Script first. Vowels on. Grammar in context.
Learners stall when they memorize isolated glosses and skip the marks that carry case. We keep tashkeel on the page and separate Qur’anic fusha from MSA and from dialect. How Idafah teaches.
01
Start with the script
Letters, joining, and short vowels — so unmarked news is not guesswork later.
02
Learn the structures
Nominal sentences, the article, iḍāfah, particles, and the two tenses, with fully vowelled examples.
03
Read marked Arabic
Short texts with tashkeel. Recitation and tafsīr stay with a teacher; grammar stays on the page.
The path
Arabic Foundations
11 units from the alphabet to marked reading. Later paths — Qur’anic / Classical and Modern Standard — open after the first script lessons.
الْحَرَكَات
Short vowels
The marks that make learner Arabic readable.
الْإِضَافَة
Iḍāfah
Two nouns, one genitive chain — our namesake.
الْقِرَاءَة
Marked reading
Short fully vowelled lines, not a recitation course.
أُسُسُ الْعَرَبِيَّة
Arabic Foundations
Script, sound, and the first grammatical structures every later path depends on — including iḍāfah, the construction this school is named for.
الْعَرَبِيَّةُ الْقُرْآنِيَّة
Qur’anic / Classical
Classical fusha as revealed in 7th-century Arabia: particles, roots, and short selected lines with full tashkeel.
الْفُصْحَى الْحَدِيثَة
Modern Standard
The living formal standard: greetings, equational sentences, verbs, and the grammar of news and school.
Inside the school
What you get
الْمَسَار
A sequenced path
Arabic Foundations runs from script to iḍāfah to marked reading. You always know the next lesson.
النَّحْو
Grammar on the page
Nominal sentences, the article, particles, and verbs — taught with fully vowelled examples, not slogans.
الْمُرَاجَعَة
Review that remembers
Spaced cards with Again / Hard / Good / Easy. Words return when they are due.
الْفُصْحَى
Honest registers
Qur’anic fusha, Modern Standard, and dialect notes are labeled. We do not pretend they are one classroom.
