Alan JonesArabic Through the Qur'an (Islamic Texts Society)

In excellent condition.Looks pretty elaborative with examples from Quran. Once I finish couple of chapter, will write a second review.

Need to be advanced to grasp the teachings

This is best introduction oout there for quranic arabic. Coveres the many important aspects of quranic arabic in a detailed way. As a non-native student of arabic this book has considerably increased my ability to not only understand the lietral meaning of many quranic words the context in which those words occur is also dealt with in this book. The author has many years of teaching arabic and this book certianly will help you benfit from his wealth of experience. Having said all that it is sinply an introduction and more advanced study should be done with texts from the arabic sources.

Excellent book but written at a college level and so it's not an easy ready for most.

I am very impressed by this book. I think it will be most useful for those who have exposure to Arabic for at least 1-2 years. It has been a great refresher/teacher for me in many grammatical concepts, and the vocabulary is also very helpful. Since I am not really in a position to take Arabic under a teacher anymore, this book has been a tremendous resource. I highly recommend it.

Classical (and modern standard) Arabic grammar is almost entirely based on the Qur'an and it's forms. This book does a better job than any other text available in English explaining the Arabic of the Qur'an in terms of grammar. It's also an exceptional resource for Quranic vocabulary.

i know its not common, but I read this for fun! it is well written and gives a depth and breadth of understanding of the language that is not found in most grammar books. i also love all the examples given directly from the Quran, practical usage

The beginning of the book was really intimidating, but the author manages to teach in small steps which makes it very easy.
