A COMMENTARY ON AL-AJRUMIYYAH

The main purpose of this translation is twofold:

Firstly, to aid teachers in delivering classes on al-Tubfat al-Saniyyah. Having access to a translation will allow the teacher to spend more time in explaining the book rather than preparing a translation.

Furthermore it can help to bridge the gap between the stronger and weaker students in a class (in terms of their Arabic comprehension), which sometimes gives difficulty to the teacher in assessing the level of teaching which should be delivered.

Secondly, to serveas a bridge for students who may have learned the basics of Arabic but are not at a level yet to read an Arabic grammar book cover to cover purely in Arabic without difficulty.

Depending on the level of the student they can read the Arabic and review their understanding with the English or use the English as an aid whilst reading the Arabic.

In order to fulfil this, the complete Arabic text has been provided and the translation has been kept as literal as possible, exceptions being in rare places where the translation would be strange if it was done in this manner.

Some grammatical terms have been transliterated to aid the flow of the translation and due to the importance of them being known to the student. This has most commonly been done for the following terms:  e Al-raf’, al-nasb, al-khafd/al-jarr and al-jazm.

These refer to the nominative, accusative, genitive and jussive states respectively. Words in these states are referred to as: marfu‘, mansiib, makhfiid/majrir and majzum.

 The parts of the idafah (possessive) construction: al-mudaf (the possessed) and the mudaf ilayh (the possessor). — Supplementary notes have been extracted from the
