Ever listened to a captivating recitation of the Qur'an and thought, "If only I could grasp the meaning behind these words..."?

You're not alone in that desire.

Many of us long to connect with the Qur'an in its original language, but the path to understanding classical Arabic can seem challenging.

We aspire to comprehend the Qur'an's language without relying on translations, experiencing its beauty and depth firsthand.

AMA is excited to present the Fall 2025 Classical Arabic Program!

This course provides a solid foundation for understanding classical Arabic and is structured into multiple levels to meet your learning needs.

We are honored to have Shaykh Munir Shalghum leading these classes, bringing his extensive knowledge and passion for teaching classical Arabic.
