1 min readAlso available in العربية

Ibn Malik's Alfiyyah is a poetic منظومة (didactic poem) consisting of one thousand verses on grammar (نحو) and morphology (صرف), authored by Imam Jamal al-Din Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Malik (d. 672 AH). The Alfiyyah is characterized by its simple and concise style, wherein it condenses a wealth of meanings into few words. It is a distillation of what the author mentioned in his book "Al-Kafiyah Al-Shafiyah." The Alfiyyah has gained wide acceptance among students of knowledge, which has led to numerous commentaries and glosses on it.
