Have you learned grammar and now want to apply it?

Do you want to understand one of the most well-known verses of the Quran?

Linguistic Analysis of the Quran

Chapter 2: Verses 284 - 286


If you have studied i'rab and grammar to an intermediate level i.e. topics covered in our Certificate of Ijaza in Arabic Grammar — Intermediate course (or its equivalent) and now want to apply it to analyzing the language of the Quran, then this class is for you.

This class is not for  beginners but for intermediate to advanced students.

One of the fruits of studying Arabic grammar to a higher level is the opportunity to read the words of the scholars of exegesis (mufassirin lit. explainers).

I find this activity exciting because it uncovers jewels in the Quran that one can only get when appreciating the linguistic beauty of the language itself.  This is the peak of the Muslim scholarly tradition and this is why I studied Arabic.

In this course you will learn how to go about analyzing the Quran through a linguistic lens so you can further understand the meaning.  We do this by starting off with a translation, a simple tafsir, and then move onto more in-depth tafsir and i'rab analysis.  

We do this in live sessions in which you can ask your questions.  For those interested in a certificate of completion, a comprehension test must be taken.

This short course is not meant to make you into mufassirin but to give you an glimpse into the world of tafsir and the great Muslim scholarly tradition.

Linguistic Analysis of the Quran

You will learn how to approach a verse of the Quran in 10 lessons.  With LIVE group classes, expert instruction, and video and articles backing you up, this is one of the best ways to apply your skills to the science of tafsir.

Here’s What You’ll Get When You Sign Up

10 sessions of live expert instruction

This is a live online course with 10 individual lessons that will give you short glimpse into the study of the science of tafsir.

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.

Course Begins February 2024

I have taken multiple classes with Ustadh Yusaf and they have proven to be the most effective classes for me in Arabic grammar. Through these classes I have been able to take grammar rules and properly apply them to Classical Arabic texts, allowing for coherent translation and understanding.

He allows students to try on their own before providing guidance and answers, thus encouraging us to explore on our own and develop thinking tools to be able to decipher texts and properly understand them.


Afaaf Ahmad

Studying ‘مختارات من أدب العرب’ with Ustadh Yusaf felt like navigating a forest path with him as a knowledgeable guide. Reading with him engaged us deeply, much like walking through the woods at a steady pace. His expertise and love for the language shone through as he skillfully pointed out hidden grammatical nuances along the way.

Ustadh Yusaf embodies a profound love for the Arabic language, coupled with a deep understanding that enriches his teaching. His passion for Arabic is palpable in his engaging delivery style, making complex concepts relatable and captivating. His enthusiasm for the language is contagious.

Ustadh Yusaf's mission to promote Arabic literacy is deeply inspiring. His tireless dedication goes beyond teaching, reflecting a profound belief in the language's transformative influence. His commitment motivates me to contribute to preserving and sharing Arabic, fostering a vibrant community of language enthusiasts.

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.

A Note from the Instructor

Although this is an advanced level course, it's highly enjoyable to see the grammar one has studied come to life when reading tafsir.  The language is dense and requires unpacking, which we will do as we cross-reference a few tafsirs.


If you what to open that door to tafsir and walk right in, clear out your schedule, register, and get your materials ready.

We look forward to seeing you in class.

Start Reading the Muslim Scholarly Tradition

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.

Alhamdulillah, I have been blessed with the opportunity to study at Grammica Institute under the guidance of Ustadh Yusaf since July of 2023. The experience has been truly enriching. Exploring selections from Mukhtarat Min Adab alArab, Ihya Ulum alDin, and delving into various tafasir to understand Irab alQuran has significantly deepened my knowledge.

Ustadh Yusaf is not just a teacher; he is a passionate mentor who instills a genuine love for the Arabic language. His unique teaching style makes the learning process engaging and enjoyable. Ustadh's dedication to nurturing our understanding and enthusiasm for Arabic has truly been inspirational.

I highly recommend Grammica Institute to anyone seeking a comprehensive and engaging Arabic learning experience. My time with Grammica has added a layer of depth to my journey with the Arabic language.
