Quranic Arabic

Introduction

Our school teaches Quranic Arabic to help understand the language of the Quran and not Arabic as a foreign language. The program integrates Islamic culture in a way that further encourages the student’s interest in the language of the Qur'an. The American Muslim needs adequate skills (listening, comprehending, reading and simple writing) to be able to read and comprehend the Qur'an, and to understand Islam from its authentic sources.
