Arabic Intensive Modular – Level 6

Description

Course Description

This module aims to enrich students’ Arabic vocabulary related to Qur’anic and Hadith texts, fostering a sense of achievement and curiosity. Students will focus on the last ten chapters of the Qur’an and apply this vocabulary to other verses, helping them feel more connected and confident in their studies.

Likewise, for the hadith module, students will examine the first 100 hadiths of the small hadith compilation “Provision for the Seekers” (Zaad al-Taalibin). The objective of this module is not to engage in commentary on the prophetic traditions (ahadith), but rather to examine them linguistically.
