Learn Arabic Group

Alhamdulilah, Amanah Sisters has started a small group for Learning Arabic. We are following an online course from Arabic 101 and enhancing it with our own content.  We post twice a week and are proceeding at a relaxed pace. We are keeping a diary of our lessons for our own review and for Sisters who join after our start date. 

May Allah, the Most Generous abundantly reward both Sister Alia and Sister Shimaa who have volunteered to be our consultants. They are both available in our WhatsApp Learn Arabic group to answer any questions related to each post/lesson. 

Sister Alia will be sharing a feature called Quranic Connections where she encourages you to take what you learn in the lesson and expand on it with a connection to the Quran.  These sections are unique opportunities to open your Quran and discover new information in Arabic. As the lessons progress you will have more hands-on involvement with your Quran in sha Allah. 

If you are interested in joining this group, please contact us.
