Tuhfat un Nahw Part 1, 2 & 3 | Maulana Sirajuddin Nadwi | Arabic Grammar

About Tuhfat un Nahw Part 1, 2 & 3

Tuhfat un Nahw, also written Tohfatun Nahu or Tuhfatun Nahw, is a three-part Urdu textbook of Arabic grammar by Maulana Sirajuddin Nadwi. This set contains all three parts, and it is meant to take a student step by step from the first rules of Arabic grammar to a good working understanding of how sentences are built. The Urdu-medium series is commonly sold in India from MMI Publishers.

Students who read Urdu often find that a grammar explained in their own language makes the difficult ideas of Arabic much easier to absorb, and that is the purpose of this series.

What is nahw?

Nahw is the science of Arabic grammar, or syntax. It explains how words join to form sentences, why the ending of a word changes with its role, and what the main sentence types are. In nahw you meet the noun sentence and the verb sentence, the subject and the predicate, the doer and the object, and the effect of particles on the words that follow them. Its rules protect a reader from misreading the Qur’an, the sayings of the Prophet ﷺ and classical Arabic writing. Together with sarf, which deals with the forms of words, it is the foundation of every Arabic course.

How to study Tuhfat un Nahw

Read each lesson slowly, then re-read the rule and learn the examples by heart. Make a habit of analysing a sentence aloud: name the type of sentence, find the subject and predicate, and state why each ending is what it is. Solve all the exercises in writing, and check them with your teacher. Revise old lessons once a week, because grammar rules are connected and weakness in an early rule will cause trouble later. Study the sarf of the same words in Tuhfat us Sarf, so that you know both the form and the function of each word. Finish one part completely before starting the next.

After this series

Students who finish Tuhfat un Nahw can move on to reading simple Arabic passages, then selections from the Qur’an and hadith with grammatical analysis, and later to the standard classical texts of the madrasa course. The habits of analysis learned here will serve you in all of these.
