NAHW
Al-Muqaddima al-Ājurrūmiyya of
Imam Ibn al-Ājurrūm
Al-Muqaddima al-Ājurrūmiyya, often simply called al-Ājurrūmiyya, is a classical Arabic grammar (nahw) text authored by the Moroccan scholar Muḥammad ibn Ājurrūm (d. 723 AH / 1323 CE). Despite its brevity, it has become one of the most famous and widely studied introductory texts in the science of Arabic grammar, especially in traditional Islamic education.
The text was written in a clear, concise style, making it ideal for beginners. It lays out the foundational rules of Arabic grammar, focusing particularly on syntax (nahw), including topics like the classification of words (kalima), grammatical states (iʿrāb), the nominative, accusative, and genitive cases, and sentence structure. Though short, it introduces learners to the essential terminology and concepts needed to read and understand more advanced grammatical works and classical Arabic texts, including the Qur’an and Hadith.
For centuries, al-Ājurrūmiyya has been memorized, commented upon, and taught across the Muslim world. Its influence lies in its ability to distill complex grammar into digestible rules, serving as a gateway to both linguistic mastery and deeper access to Islamic sciences.
In summary, al-Muqaddima al-Ājurrūmiyya is a foundational text that continues to play a crucial role in the early stages of Arabic grammatical education, valued for its clarity, precision, and pedagogical effectiveness.
