Launching Our NEW Course
Certificate of Ijaza in Arabic Grammar —
Advanced
At the end of a few short months, you receive a “Certificate of Ijaza in Arabic Grammar – Advanced“.
This class is not for beginners. Please see the prerequisites** for this course before you register.
So how long will you wait before you begin your journey in classical Arabic?
That’s exactly what I used to ask myself. Then I made a decision and, with the help of Allah Almighty, that is all it takes if you have the determination.
My burning desire was to understand the Arabic of the Quran and the language of the classical texts. When I used to hear the Friday khutba, I yearned to know what was being said because it contained the words of the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace). I used to hear scholars quote Arabic and had to wait for the translation, if any was forthcoming. Taking a year of Modern Standar Arabic at university was not sufficient to understand ancient Arabic. Then I learned about classical Arabic, the language used in the Quran, hadith, and Muslim scholarly tradition. I had the opportunity to study the classical grammar primer, matn al-Ajurrumiyya, and other texts in this rich tradition .
In this course you will deepen your understanding of Arabic grammar by reading the classical grammar text Mutammimat al-Ajrumiyya and vocalize and translate the Ihya of Imam Ghazali. You will have plenty of practice with in-class drills, homework, quizzes, and a final exam. And you will do this in a small group setting with live instruction and with weekly office hours in which you can ask your individual questions. And the best part of completing this course successfully is that you receive a hand-framed certificate delivered to your doorstep at no extra cost.
We have cracked the code for you in learning serious grammar, the stepping stone towards reading fully unvocalized classical Arabic.

Ustadh Yusaf combines several rarified elements of classical Arabic grammar instruction in a single teacher
Ustadh Yusaf combines several rarified elements of classical Arabic grammar instruction in a single teacher: a spiritual grasp of the Quran; mastery of Arabic grammar and usage at the exegetical level; native command of English grammar and usage at the university level; over a decade of classroom experience raising non-native Arabic speakers from beginner to advanced grammarian; and the kind of affability and patience needed with a student that makes a good teacher great. Only Ustadh Yusaf comes to mind as combining all five of these critical attributes in a single teacher.

His way of teaching simply works...
Ustadh Yusaf teaches in a manner which is easy to understand, no matter your level. He used to give us challenges to translate and identify the grammatical function of words, meanwhile introducing new concepts in grammar. His way of teaching simply works and without a doubt it leads to a deep understanding of grammar, and understanding of much needed morphology concepts.

I have gained training and confidence to access books I once wished to read
Studying with Ustaad Yusaf allowed me to progress my classical Arabic studies greatly. Ustaad helped me patiently to apply grammatical rules and theory whilst walking me through classical text, and ensuring I fully understand the language. I have gained training and confidence to access books I once wished to read and my time with Ustaadh Yusaf has re-ignited my desire to progress my Arabic studies as a non-native.

Learn Classical Arabic Grammar and Start Reading
I’ve had a number of Arabic teachers in the past, but I’ve found Ustadh Yusaf to be most engaging. Despite going through the beginners classes, Grammica always manages to find a way to make the material relevant, interesting and applicable to daily life. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Syed S.
Colorado, US
Ustadh Yusaf’s classes helped me enhance my grammar skills in a way which allowed me to apply my knowledge of grammar to real texts and in a classic setting. By the end of the class, I was able to identify the grammatical positions of each word in a sentence of a more complex text, and also understand the function of each word and feel confident in my understanding of the functions of each word. These classes that I took with Grammica institute in the past year were the best Arabic grammar ones I’ve taken in my whole five years of studying Arabic grammar, because I didn’t just memorize the concepts, but I was also able to apply them to real life situations, and other texts that I read both in my Arabic grammar class, and in my Arabic skills and literature class. I highly recommend studying with Grammica institute if one wants to be able to understand the concepts thoroughly and also wants to gain a knowledge of the appropriate application of each concept in our life, whether it be in the Quran, other texts, or just in every day life even. Applying ones knowledge of grammar to a text such as the Quran can completely change one’s outlook on it, because it can enhance one’s understanding greatly, and Grammica Institute would be an amazing choice for one to start learning Arabic grammar.
