The word Sarf has many meanings but as applied to Arabic grammar, is defined as changing of a root word into different forms to create an intended meaning. As you will learn in this book, 99% of Arabic words start from a three-alphabet root word, which is then changed into different forms to create different meanings. These rotations of the root word are called تَصْريْفٌ tas-reef or inflections. Prophet Sallal-lahu Alaihi Wa Sallam asked his Ummah to learn Arabic because it is the language of the Qur'an, it is his language and it is the language of the people of Jannah. Also, from the words of Imam Shaa-fai, knowledge is what is useful, not what is memorized.

This is a a complete morphology and syntax analysis of first 50 ayahs of Surah An'aam. Nahwi analysis is presented in a unique easy to understand block diagram form from Microsoft PowerPoint and Sarf analysis with details of each word.  May Allah give us hidayah and purity of intentions. Ilm-us-sarf or word morphology is the first step in learning Classical Arabic. It is the science of word origins. The word Sarf has many meanings but as applied to Arabic grammar, is defined as changing a Root word into different forms to create an intended meaning. Ilm un Nahw is the science of sentence making and it allows you to understand the meanings of sentences in the Qur'an depending upon the usage of Nouns, Verbs, and Particles. It is assumed here that you know Sarf and Nahw. This book gives you a very simplified analysis of Surah Al-An'aam, the first 50 ayahs. First, details of the words, their grammatical breakdown in Arabic and English are given along with the Root words, their class, their kind such as Mushtaq and Jamid, and Mushtaq details as to whether they are exaggerative, superlative, comparative and adjectives, etc. By going through this book, you will understand how to break down a sentence, look for nouns, verbs, particles, and conjunction of word on word and sentence on sentence. I have tried to use terminology that is standard and in a few places. I have used my own to make it more easily understandable.

An English Translation of Nahw Meer with Arabic in red for the student of Arabic Grammar by Meer Syed Shareef Abul Hasan Bin Mohammed Al-Jurjani (RA). Ilm un Nahw is that science which teaches us how to join Nouns, Verbs and Particles to form a complete sentence and what the vowel of the last letter of each word should be. This science started from the time of Omar bin Al-Khattab (RA) when one of the Bedouins read part of the Ayah 3 of Surah At-Tauba with a Kasrah at the very end as rasulihi instead of Dammah as in rasuluhu. This changed the meaning from "that Allah and His prophet are free from obligations to the polytheists" to "that Allah is free from obligations to the polytheists and His prophet". The Bedouin said if Allah dissolves his obligations to His prophet, so do I. After this incidence, Omar (RA) ordered that rules of Nahw be created. Why this book? First Meer Ali ibn Mohammed Al-Jurjani, the Author of Nahw Meer, does not need any introduction. His masterful book has been in use for centuries mostly in it's original language of Persian and it's Arabic and Urdu translations and it is taught in many schools in Indian subcontinent and other parts of the world. I felt, that there is a need for a literal translation in today's English for those of us who are more comfortable with it.
