There is no other language which attained to such perfection with so sudden a moment in history as the Arabic language during, and following, the 23-year revelation of the Qur’an. Indeed, the Arabic language appears singularly fortunate in having been favored with the invigorating, empowering, burden of God’s Syed Iqbal Zaheer’s notable, and innovative, effort in his An Introduction to the Arabic Language Through Islamic Texts must be emphasized here as a path-breaking, pioneering, attempt to teach the Arabic language fully through the medium of the very cause of its perfection, its raison d’etre even: the divine text of the Qur’an and its inescapable, time-honored, human derivative – the Ahadith or the traditions of the last messenger of God. This attempt has been pioneering in the sense that while several instructors in the Arabic language have, in the past, employed certain verses of the Qur’an here or a few Ahadith there in order to enrich their course material, none have so singularly focused on this medium of instruction as has been done in the book under discussion.
