What are the easy and accessible books for beginners to learn the Arabic language, especially since it is the language of the Qur'an?
Learning the Arabic language is a religious obligation (fard shari) for understanding the Qur’an, the Sunnah, and gaining juristic comprehension in religion. This is achieved by studying its various sciences such as grammar (nahw), rhetoric (balaghah), and morphology (sarf), through its numerous works. Whoever wishes to master it should progress gradually in their studies, starting with easier books, and seeking assistance from a master (shaykh mutqin) of the language. The books "Ilm al-Lughah al-Arabiyyah" (Arabic Linguistics) by Mahmud Fahmy Hijazy and "al-Lughah al-Arabiyyah: Manaha wa Mabnaha" (The Arabic Language: Its Meaning and Structure) by Tammam Hassan Omar are recommended.
