Arabic Lesson 8



This lesson starts with the first four verses of Surat ar-Rahmân, (Surah 55),and this is not even in the last part of the Qur'an but right in the midst: In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Beneficent - He has taught the Qur'an.He has created the human being. He has taught him clear (speech).
The Dâd is pronouced nearly like the Dâl in lesson 4 but emphatic (with pressure). When it is pronounced correctly, the following vowel sounds hollow.
The Kha sounds like ch in Schottish "loch".
Some prophets and messengers have a surname in addition to their name which is often used in poetry but also elsewhere.In this lesson there are some examles:Abraham is Allah's friend.Moses is Allah's interlocutor.Jesus is Allah's spirit.Muhammad is Allah's messenger.May Allah's blessings and peace be with all of them!
