Allah made it easy
وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا ٱلْقُرْءَانَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ

Quranic Arabic in plain English

The Language of Quran— Easier Than English

The journey from reading Arabic to understanding the Quran begins with a solid foundation. Quranic Arabic is built upon three types of words, two types of sentences and six essential phrase structures. Learning through practice how these words combine to form meaningful phrases and sentences is the key to understanding the Quran.

The 3–2–6 framework

Arabic is not a maze. It is a map.

Arabic has a clear, logical structure you can follow. It begins with just 3 types of words, which combine into only 2 types of sentences and 6 phrase structures. Master those and you begin to see how the words of every ayah come together.

Understand the 3–2–6 framework, and you begin to see how the language of the Quran is put together.

How the Quran's Arabic works Arabic has only three word types — noun, verb, particle — which combine into a murakkab, which is either complete (two sentence types) or incomplete (six phrase types). ARABIC HAS ONLY THREE TYPES OF WORDS حَرْف Particle فِعْل Verb اِسْم Noun + + combine (two or more) to form مُرَكَّب (meaningful) construct …is one of two kinds تَامّ Complete ONLY 2 SENTENCE TYPES Nominal Sentence Verbal Sentence نَاقِص Incomplete 6 COMMON PHRASE TYPES descriptive · prepositional possessive · pointing conjunctional · appositive Learn the three types of words and how they come together to form sentences and phrases, and you will begin to see the structure within every ayah of the Quran.

Our goal

The Quran is the Word of Allah. To read it with understanding, reflect upon its message and live according to its teachings is an act of worship.

Allah has made the Quran easy for us to remember. Our goal is to support every student who wishes to deepen their relationship with the Quran, by providing teaching, study materials and practical learning resources.

For this purpose we established The Language of Quran YouTube channel and ILMHUB.org. Everything here is open to use — no payment, no signup.

ILMHUB.org brings together the full Quran to study surah by surah, section (ruku) by section, ayah by ayah and word by word; a grammar reference explaining Arabic grammar terms in plain English with classical definitions and Quranic examples; the video course The Language of Quran, with lesson notes, quizzes and model answers; and a Quran reading app with audio and word- and ayah-level translation.

May Allah bless your efforts and reward you abundantly for every moment you spend learning His Book.
