Nahwu

Nahwu

The primary purpose of this study is to gain proficiency in Arabic grammar to ultimately understand the HolyQur'an and the Hadeeth and thereby to earn the pleasure of Allah. It is generally believed that Abūl Aswad Ad du'ali, on the recommendation of Ali (Radiyallahu Anhu), formally set the wheel of the codification of Nahwu. The obvious reason for this was that Islam had conquered foreign lands, resulting in the Arabic language being adulterated by these foreign tongues. Thus, to preserve the pristine purity of the langūage it was felt that attention had to be given to the preservation of the Arabic language. Ali (Radhiyallahu Anhu) had himself commenced the task but, due to his hands being tied in other matters, requested Abul Aswad, tutor of his two sons Hasan and Husain (Radhiyallahu Anhuma) to propel the task. .
