The American Quran Institute’s Classical Arabic Course in the USA is built around one objective: reading and understanding Arabic the way classical Islamic scholars wrote it. Arabic Lessons address i’rab, verb conjugation, noun derivation, and the structural logic of Classical Arabic prose—the same language found in Tafsir, Hadith, and Fiqh texts.
Each Arabic session introduces learners to Arabic morphological roots (masdar derivation, wazn patterns), Classical Arabic sentence construction, and the grammatical markers that shift meaning entirely when misread. The American Quran Institute’s tutors walk through authentic classical texts not simplified excerpts, so students in the USA develop real Classical Arabic reading comprehension from day one.

Students in the Classical Arabic Course in the USA study nominative, accusative, and genitive case endings systematically, with direct application to Classical Arabic reading exercises from foundational Arabic texts.

The Classical Arabic Course in the USA covers verb conjugation tables, verb types, and the full pattern system of Arabic verbal morphology through applied Sarf training.
Classical Arabic syntax determines how Arabic words function together and what they mean in relation to each other. USA students study verbal sentences (Jumlah Fi’liyyah) and nominal sentences (Jumlah Ismiyyah), including Arabic agreement rules, grammatical particles, and clause construction. This is the structural knowledge that enables independent reading of Classical Arabic texts.

Real transformations from students who mastered the Quran with our courses
I took a class at Shaykhi Academy with Mr. Luqman, and I had a lot of fun learning with him. I even got the chance to meet him in Egypt! I learned a lot from my time with him, including Tajweed, Tahweed, Arabic reading, and Quran. I've been learning with him for about a year now. Thank you for your time.
I’m Yahia Sarhan, I’m 15 years old and I’m from Canada. I’ve been a student at Shaykhi Academy since 2019, so about three or four years now. It’s been a great learning opportunity for me and I’ve learned a lot about Islamic studies, the Quran, and Arabic reading. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s trying to learn.
