It is very concise, consisting of only three books, all of which are short but extensive in their coverage. A few notes in favour of the textbook: The primary text is entirely in Arabic. This means that you're less inclined than you might otherwise be to glance at the English first. Good for making you actually reading Arabic. The grammar is *mostly* introduced just a little bit at a time, which makes it far easier to absorb. This is less true than in volume one &, in fact, the system falls apart in the final lessons of the book, where various kinds of verbs are taught all at once (this would have been easier if, for example, الفعل الأجوف—hollow verbs—had had its forms spread out over a few lessons, rather than having all forms introduced in one lesson). However, as I said, the book is mostly quite good about this.

The Arabic Course for English-Speaking Students is a comprehensive and popular course for the teaching of the Qur'anic and Traditional Arabic, originally devised and taught at the renowned Madinah Islamic University, catering for non-Arabic speaking students from all over the world. Over the years, this course has enabled students to become competent in their use of the Arabic language and to participate and benefit from scholarly pursuits such as Qur'anic exegesis, hadith, fiqh, Sirah, history, and classical and modern Arabic literature.

There is no index of grammatical terms. Some terms are introduced once, disappear for a few lessons, & then reappear again. This can get confusing. My recommendation for other students of these textbooks is to make a list—either in a notebook, on a sheet of paper near where you study, or perhaps ideally digitally, so that it can be alphabetised—of all new grammatical terms as they are first introduced. Madinah Islamic University Arabic Course for English Speaking Students Book 1 (One) Durus Al-Lughat Al-ArabiyyahUse the below resources for studying and mastering the Books 1,2 and 3 of “Lessons in Arabic language” [as taught at the Islaamic University of Madeenah] written by Shaykh Dr. V. ‘Abdur-Raheem Tasheel Al-Nahw (full fledged grammar focused book that one should do along with the Madinah Arabic books) It combines modern Arabic vocabulary with Islamic terminology used in the Qur’an and Sunnah. It Helps acquire an understanding of hundreds of Qur’anic verses, ahadith, Arabic parables and poetry." Whilst there are now several courses available on the market for the teaching of the Arabic language, the unique features of this particular one are: Here's what you should know in advance: The course is geared toward practicing Muslim students. This manifests itself in three ways that might be of importance to non-Muslim students: 1) The book assumes that the reader can already read Arabic for pronunciation, but not meaning. If you don't know the Arabic writing system & the pronunciation of the letters, you'll need to start somewhere else first. 2) The book assumes some knowledge of particular Islamic vocabulary. For example, one of the grammatical explanations uses the phrase صلى الله عليه وسلام after the name of the Prophet Muhammad, but does not give the meaning of the word صلى. Most Muslim students will know this, already, as the benediction is a common utterance after Muhammad's name. It might be unfamiliar to non-Muslim English-speakers. 3) With the introduction of two non-Muslim characters in one dialogue, a footnote is added praying for their eventual conversion/reversion to Islam. I appreciate the sentiment, but I can imagine some learners for whom this would be offensive. They should probably find a different textbook.
