Tasheel al-Nahw Version 2.2: Based on 'Ilm al-Nahw by Mawlana Mushtaq Ahmad Charthawali

Description

This is version 2.2 of the revised Tasheel al-Nahw, which in turn is an expanded translation of the Urdu language primer of Arabic grammar, ‘Ilm al-Nahw by Mawlana Mushtaq Ahmad Charthawali. Mawlana Charthawali’s primers for Nahw (Arabic grammar) and Sarf (Arabic Morphology) are standard textbooks in Western madrasahs. This latest version is vastly different from the original edition. Many sections have been modified, some have been completely revised, confusing sentences have been elaborated, more examples and exercises have been added, including many from al-Nahw al-Wadih and Mu‘allim al-Insha’, and where needed, the relevant al-Nahw al-Wadih section has been pointed out in the footnotes. These footnotes are for the benefit of the teachers. The students can choose to ignore them. Lastly, an appendix has been attached at the end, identifying Tasheel al-Nahw’s place in Nahw texts, as well as suggesting a possible curriculum of classical Arabic studies.
