Is my Arabic good enough?
We teach in Classical Arabic alone, with no translation. This is the honest question to ask - so answer it yourself. Below are four passages from the sciences we teach, rising in difficulty, and then recordings from real majālis. Read, listen, and judge honestly.
Nothing here is recorded or sent to us - the judgement is yours.
- General prose1
العلمُ نورٌ يهدي صاحبَه إلى الحقِّ، والجهلُ ظُلمةٌ تُضِلُّه عنه.
- Logic (manṭiq)2
الحدُّ التّامُّ ما يتركَّبُ من الجنسِ القريبِ والفصلِ القريبِ.
- Uṣūl al-fiqh3
الأمرُ المُطلقُ لا يقتضي التَّكرارَ عند الجمهورِ، إلَّا أن يَقترنَ به ما يدلُّ عليه.
- Kalām4
الجوهرُ الفردُ عند المتكلِّمين جزءٌ لا يَتجزَّأُ، يقومُ بذاتِه ويَقبَلُ الأعراضَ، وأثبتوه لِيَنقطعَ التَّسلسلُ في الانقسام.
Now listen
Reading is not the same skill as following a teacher speaking - and the majālis are taught aloud. These are excerpts from real lessons, one from each teacher, unedited and not slowed down.
