INTRODUCTION
Before the advent for the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, the Arabic language had reached a pinnacle in
terms of style, beauty, precision and conciseness. Poets of this age were highly honored; a word from a good
poet could raise or debase a tribe by degrees in the eyes of the Arabs. It was in this atmosphere that the Qur’an
was revealed to the Unlettered Messenger, peace be upon him, and incapacitated everyone, from the best poet
to the layperson, by its power and beauty.

After the death of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, Islam saw explosive growth in Africa to the
West, Persia to the East and Europe to the North. Many peoples, who were until then not familiar with the
language of the Arabs, took to reading and memorizing the Qur’an in its original form. In order to facilitate this,
the Qur’an was compiled and eventually distributed as a text, something that had not been done in the time of
the Messenger, peace be upon him, though was seen as necessary to spread and preserve the revelation. The
scholars of this time realized that in addition to preserving the text of the Qur’an, every detail of the language of
revelation had to be preserved and documented. The fruits of their labor produced, among others, three
essential linguistic sciences: Nahu (Grammar), Sarf (Morphology) and Balagha (Terminological Usages). So, if
people wanted access to the Book, and by extension to the hadith literature and numerous other Islamic sciences
derived from and based on these primary texts, they had to first master the linguistic sciences.

The Ajrumiyyah is a classical text of Arabic grammar that found acceptance and praise throughout the Muslim
world, which is a proof of the author’s sincerity and that Allah accepted his efforts. It was one of the first books
in grammar taught to, and memorized by, enumerable scholars of Islam. The blessing of the text has also been
attributed to the report that the author, Abi Abdullah Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Ajurum, wrote it while
seated in front of the blessed Kaaba.

It is hoped that this work will aid students in gaining access to the science of Arabic Grammar, and thus to the
various Islamic sciences. To facilitate this, in addition to translating the original text into English, each chapter
has been mapped in order to give the student an overall structure of the chapter being studied.

The present text was prepared with the help of Shaykh Hamza Yusuf, Shaykh Talal Ahdab, and Maulana Abdir-
Rashid. Thus, if anyone benefits from this work, it is requested that they remember those who had a hand in
preparing it in their prayers in this world and in their intercession in the next, and praise is for Allah, Lord of
the Worlds.

CHAPTER 1: Speech ُ ُ‫الْ َكالم‬

Speech is uttered, compounded, complete and placed (in
ِ ِ
Arabic). Its types are three: nouns, verbs and particles. ُ:‫ُوأَقْ َسامه ُثَالَثَة‬.َ ‫ُه َو ُاللَّ ْفظ ُالْمَرَّكب ُالْمفيد ُبال َْو ْض ِع‬:ُ‫الْ َكالم‬

• Verbs are known by being succeeded by:

· ‫) قَد‬Indeed, perhaps)

‫ف‬
· ‫ُالساكِنَ ُِة‬

• Particles are known by the fact that neither the signs for
the noun nor the verb are proper to them.

CHAPTER 26: Genitive Nouns ‫مخفوضاتُاألسماء‬

The nouns in genitive are of three types: nouns genitive by ُُ

ُ ُ‫ُوُتَاب‬، ِ َُ ‫ُبِا ُِإل‬
َُ ‫ضاُفَُة‬
The prepositions that cause a noun to be genitive are:
• ‫ن‬ ُْ ‫( ِم‬From) ُ
ِ ‫ُماُُيْتَص ُِبِِ ْن‬: ِ
• ُ‫( إِ َىل‬To) ُ،‫ُو َع ْن‬،

• َُّ ‫( َوا ِوُر‬Some)
‫ب‬
• ‫( م ُْذ‬Since)
• ُ‫( مْنذ‬Since)

An example of a noun in genitive by due to annexation is:

• ‫ُزيْ ٍُد‬
َ ‫( غَالَم‬The servant of Zaid)

Though, it is of two types: annexations that act like lam and

those that act like min.

• An example of an annexation that acts like lam is:

◦ ‫( غَالَم َُزيْ ٍُد‬The servant of Zaid)

• Examples of annexations that act like min include:

◦ ٍُ‫ُساج‬
َ ‫( بَاب‬A door made of teak)
◦ ‫ُخ ُز‬
َ ‫( ثَ ْوب‬A garment made of silk)
◦ ٍُ ‫ُح ِد‬
‫يد‬ َ ‫( َخ َاَت‬A ring made of iron)
And Allah knows best.
