Al-Muḍāri' — The Imperfect Tense

0:00 As-salamu alaykum, welcome to our sixth lesson. Previously, we have been learning about the maadi and also of course the grammatical rules related to the jumlah fa'iliya or the verbal sentence. From now on inshallah in this lesson and a few lessons forward we're going to look at the imperfect tense i.e. an action that is yet to be complete or being done right now. It is not complete yet at the time of speaking. We're going to look at its scale and then we're going to look at the three different scales and conjugate 14 different variations in the three main scales of the mudare verb, the imperfect tense. So we begin again with our dua.

0:46 Oh my lord, increase me in knowledge and let us begin with the blessed name of Allah. Inshallah, you're already familiar with this. We have covered this in detail in previous lesson. We mentioned right at the beginning the verbs in Arabic are essentially of three types. The perfect, the imperfect and the amr. So we've done the maadi in detail in the previous lessons.

1:09 So we are now going to start our study of the imperfect verb. We also looked at how the doer works in the jumlah fa'aliya and also how the maf'ool, the object also works in jumlah fa'aliya and their various types. So if you're new here please go and watch the previous lessons as I will not be repeating what the content of this is. But the reason why I'm bringing as a reminder to you that the rules that you've learned regarding the doer which is the fa'il and

also the maf'ool is exactly the same whether the verb is maadi or mudare meaning whichever verb it is the rules are the same. So we've learned the rules we're just going to practise them now with a different type of verb. So let's look at the mudare in some detail so inshallah ta'ala we can learn it right the first time. So we've done the maadi where we learned that it is the action that is complete at the time of speaking. For example I ate, I slept etc.

Then we have the mudare which is the one we're looking at now. Now this is a bit more detailed than the perfect tense verb in Arabic because it involves three actions one habitual for example he helps he talks habitual and then present continuous he is helping I am helping you are talking so this is present continuous and also it can mean in the future he will help. So al mudare covers all of these because the action is not complete at the time of speaking it is

called imperfect whereas the other one is called perfect and these are just terms used by grammarians but we will soon start using the Arabic so it's al mudare and means an action not yet complete and it is imperfect in grammatical terminology. We're going to look at amr later so we have nasara yansuru. Nasara he helped I'm sure you know this one yansuru he helps and the command from unsur we'll pick up once we've done the mudare in detail. What is al mudare? Al mudare verb it

plays a very pivotal role in the language and it really gives us the meaning of three things either present tense he goes present continuous he is going or he will go okay as in the future tense. Now you notice in English I'm using additional words to give the meaning in the Arabic the content really is what's going to give us which one of these three it is but the shape of the scale of the word will remain intact we don't need to add anything else and

we'll see that inshallah later on but to make it more specific we'll have articles. So the mudare verb includes I repeat includes a meaning of an action that is not really complete and that is why they call it imperfect tense al mudare. So the main point is that it can give us these imperfect actions that are not complete at the time of speaking. So the imperfect tense focusses on actions that are currently ongoing will happen in the future or something that is habitual therefore depending on

context we will translate the imperfect verb to the context that we are looking at within the structures of the sentences but we cannot get to that level until you've learned the scale to recognise it and of course to be able to understand the root etc. So inshallah let's go step by step just to be aware that al mudare is an imperfect tense action not complete at the time of speaking so let's illustrate what we are talking about you know these three verbs already he opened he

helped he went so you can see here very clear that the action has already been completed now in arabic if i want to say he is opening he opens or he will open of course the doer can be she it they or name of a specific person or a group it doesn't really matter but the principle is the same he is opening he opens he will open that is covered by the mudare and is he opened he opens same with nasara if i want to say

he is helping he helps he will help she is helping i'm helping they're helping the teacher uh hamid or mariam whatever it is we will need now the form of the verb that explains that action and that is yansuru yansuru and then of course he is going he goes he will go will be yathabu so we're going to learn how to conjugate these inshallah but you can see here in arabic the root letters remain intact this is very very important there is very little change at

all in the root of course there cannot be a change from to the mudare the root letters remains intact and in the order that we know them what's happening is vowels have been added additional things have been added to give us the structure and the scale so this is the first point inshallah and as we progress forward you will see how the root letter always remains within the word but because the scale is different it gives us additional meaning or changes it from for example here

as one example from the perfect to the imperfect so make a note of these three examples inshallah that will be enough when we see the illustrated examples it will make a lot more sense to us the scale of al mudare you're already familiar with the concept of scales in arabic the scale of al maadi we've learned in detail in the previous lessons so you should be familiar with the idea what scales are the scale of al mudare is slightly different and it is actually a little

bit more involved and a lot of people get confused with it so inshallah i'm going to go very slow so inshallah you can capture the main points if you go through the lessons uh the way i'm showing you and you make notes and you study it for a few minutes inshallah it is not really complex it just follows a different system so with the mudare the first thing to note is that there will always be a letter at the beginning of the verb which will be

either hamza, yaa, taa or noon one of those of course for the hua version the one we are starting with it is yaa so the first thing that you will see on the scale and it is an obligatory thing that is always there is the letter of mudara is called okay harfu mudara you see some books mentioned the sign of mudara but these are just technical terms i prefer the term harf so because it is a letter so the first thing you'll notice is the harfu

mudara which you can see here yeah then you have your three root letters just like we've seen before first second and third and you got the arrows pointing to indicate to the scale so what happens with these three root letters please note the root letters must be there what we have at the beginning is not a root letter but a prefix prefix being a letter either yaa, taa, hamza or noon so the rules are very very simple the first root letter will always take a sukoon

the last root letter will take a dhamma which you can see here just like we saw with the maadi the second root letter can take a fatha dhamma or kasra fatha dhamma or kasra so we have the options are as follows you have let me clean the screen out so it'll be easier for you to see you have the first yaf aloo yaf aloo which is a fatha then the second version is yaf aloo which is a kasra and the third version is yaf aloo which

is a dhamma so just like we saw with the maadi it is only the middle root letter that takes three different scale vowel signs either fatha dhamma or kasra the others are fixed others are fixed so the variation is in the middle root letter so this is the scale of al mudara okay the mudara verb harf of mudara at the beginning so as a reminder to you faa ayn laam is our three uh root letter representation in this scale so we have faa ula faa ala

faa ila and we've done many examples of that we're going to see the same thing with the mudara we're going to see yaf then aloo yaf aloo or yaf iloo again all the other things will be remaining constant so in the three versions of the faa ala that we saw in the previous lessons of course you should be familiar with this now you got your three root letters and you have your faa ala scale you have example fataha you see nasara he opened he helped etc

and faa ila will be the next one two examples again samia he heard and we also got alima he knew and then we got ka ruma which is the last scale which is faa ula faa ula and this is very rare but there are few you're going to come across ka ruma so you have now the representation of three we're going to see the same thing with the mudara in the sense that we will have also three options we have yaf then aloo yaf iloo and

yaf aloo so we have yaf aloo yaf iloo and yaf aloo in the yaf aloo version we have yaf tahu he opens and then we have yathabu he goes and of course there are thousands of other verbs i'm just only giving you two yaf iloo we will have yadribu he strikes whereas daraba was he struck or he hit and we have also yadlimu zalama is the past tense yadlimu he wrongs and of course in the aloo version we have yansuru and yakrumu yansuru yakrumu and again

you will find many many on that scale so yaf aloo yaf aloo so this is the scale and the represent you're going to learn how to do this inshallah ta'ala and not only that you're going to take that base form and you're going to make 14 different variations so just to give you the example the variation only is in the second root letter conjugation of al mudara on the scale of yaf aloo before we go to conjugate make sure that you are familiar with this this

is from lesson 5 in book 1 you know the 14 pronouns if you haven't learned that yet then you are going to struggle because these 14 pronouns are there to represent in every verb and each one is called a sigha and again we covered all of this in the previous lesson so we have 14 different variations of the verb based upon the what represents these pronouns i should say in the verb again in the maadi we went through this in detail so you should be able

to read out very quickly the entire 14 pronouns again i'm not going to go through uh this in detail you should have by now if you've been following my series this should be second nature to you just like english pronouns you have no problems with these 14 other pronouns for each in the maadi we created 14 if you remember we made or formed or conjugated 14 verbs and then we're going to do the same thing with al mudara now inshallah so make sure you're familiar with

this already the boxes what they represent third person second person first person and all these other technical jargon singular dual and plural masculine and feminine so that's the property side of it taken care of please pay attention that you are 100 familiar with this before you move on and that will make your life very easy for you inshallah to learn complex if you don't know the easy very well then you will struggle with the complex stuff inshallah so please put your time and effort in to

memorise this if you have not done so already before i conjugate one for you i want you to take a look at this screen by all means take a screenshot if you have to these are the 14 variations of the mudara verb based on the root that which follows the yaf alu pattern so we have yathabu as our first one now you will note i have coloured them differently and i'm doing that with a purpose so if you are rewriting them as i go through and

you've got access to three different colours or whatever four different colours please use a notebook and do follow some colour system you know if you don't have green you can use something else we'll turn to the green moons that i've got etc but if you do that inshallah this will help you retain them and they look complex and varied and so on and you might think how on earth am i going to learn these they're very easy once you actually do them do at least one

or two conjugation inshallah a lot of people are scared of arabic because when they get into something new and they don't actually spend enough time understanding what's going on they think it's too complex and then they give up please trust me on this it is not complex yes it looks daunting it looks difficult but it is relatively easy and for that purpose to make it easy for you i'm going to use a colour system again you don't have to stick with it as soon as you've

learned it you can get rid of it otherwise you'll be you know taking hours to write just one word but at the beginning if you can see the colours and what they mean or the different types uh within the scale you'll be able to inshallah do that for any verb in arabic just like the time i spent with you doing the muslim table uh i've explained the importance of it when i did the same thing with the maadi i went to the anatomy of the maadi

we're going to do the same thing here but in different stages inshallah so i'm going to conjugate this verb i'm going to do it slightly slowly so that inshallah you can get all the points i'll go through each point make your own notes inshallah and go through that scale and then the others i'm going to do quickly otherwise the video will be way too long so inshallah this slow method will benefit you and i hope inshallah you learn so this is what we're going to conjugate

14 variations and again the lower line on the table you can see it they masculine plural for example uh wow it represents and whom and all of this stuff i went through in the maadi so hopefully will not cause you too much of a problem but just now concentrate on the verb form only we will look at the doer and stuff inshallah a little bit later so let us begin with the blessed name of bismillahirrahmanirrahim in completing the conjugation inshallah i'm going to conjugate the 14

forms of al mudare verb for you we could have picked any of them but that they will have in principle exactly the same so the first one i'm going to go very slowly and inshallah i'm going to type it rather than just flushing it on the powerpoint i believe this will help you retain it longer after i have finished the uh the form the sigha please pause the video and write your own but don't write while i'm writing because i'll be making changes as i'm speaking

inshallah so once i've done it write it down and if you can use different colours i will highlight the colours differently as well this will help you retain a lot of arabic grammar just by following this method otherwise you'll have to go into learning all terminology and all sorts of stuff and you'll see the mudara is a lot more detailed than the maudi and a lot of people get confused which is which and what but if you write it down a couple of times in the

way i'm going through it inshallah you will not be confused i'm going to go through all parts of it in another lesson which is called the anatomy of al mudare where i'll explain all the bits but at the moment i think it's quickly to learn conjugation quickly we just go through it do through a few and then in the future lessons when we need to go to advanced forms we will look at the uh all the like we did with the maudi but for now i'm

going to point those points out but don't worry about it just learn the scale and try to memorise it now the verb that i've chosen to do this with is okay i could have chosen any and it follows the scale which you can see here okay let me put that in a different colour so you can see it let's go for red okay so you can see the scale at the top there that's the one we're going to follow now of course the boxes that you

should be already familiar with first box represents hua next one huma i'm not going to write them all here just to save uh not to clutter the screen whom i'm going to just write them before i go do them so these are all masculine these are all masculine um versions of the third person he they to male and they male plural so these are your let's do the version first version will be the version exactly the same as yeah so i put yeah first and the

first root letter was if you remember so yes the second root letter was ha and in this case we're going to put on it because it follows the it could be it could be that's the only three options but this one takes the fatha okay and the third root letter takes a dhamma so the yeah we're going to colour in blue okay just for the sake of uh it stands out but you can choose any colour you like so yeah the huma version will have our

same letter of mudara so we'll start with yeah let me copy that just to save a bit of time we have yes first root letter takes a sukoon the second letter ha first uh third root letter takes a fatha now the reason why it takes a fatha because the doer is huma and huma is represented here by the alif so alif prefers the fatha before so we have let's put that in there in red and then we have the noon afterwards i'm going to colour that

one in a different colour let's choose green for the sake there so that becomes yadhabani yadhabani huwa yadhabu huma yadhabani i hope those two are clear inshallah the third version which is the hum version again i'll copy the first section to make life easy so the first is the sign of or the harfa mudara you can see here yeah with the and then first root letter takes a sukoon the second root letter takes a fatha and then the third root letter here is going to also

take a dhamma because the doer here is hum which is represented by wow and we have our noon at the end okay so let's just colour that in red so that's your doer wow what does it represent it represents represents the hum meaning they masculine plural so yadhabu now i'll explain to you in advanced lessons inshallah mudara is coming now very soon why i've coloured it in green but for now if you can colour it it will actually you'll remember later when i go through it

now the next we have here should be the here version here then we have the huma and then we have the hunna version so huwa yadhabu here is exactly the same as yadhabu except for the sign or the harfa of al mudara now becomes and of course you remember yadhabu is siga number one this is siga number two this is siga number three representing huwa huma hum here we have here here we have here i should say number four and this is where we have the

external doer this is where we have the external doer exactly the same in the mudara so just why i'm highlighting those points now the dual version the dual version of huma this time feminine that was yadhabani this will be with the ta and then the sukoon ha ba ni so let's colour that one in in the same principle so the ta is my sign harf then we have ha ba and then this is my doer so that will be red and then the noon is in

green so we have here yadhabu huma yadhabani and hunna version is slightly different so pay attention inshallah that will be ya with a fatha that with the sukoon this with the fatha and then the ba will take a sukoon and after the sukoon there will be a noon okay so let me colour that in a different colour because it is a different thing but i will explain later the ya remains there yadhabna yadhabna hunna yadhabna so it breaks the rhythm slightly yadhabna okay so we have

yadhabu yadhabani yadhabuna tadhabu tadhabani yadhabna one more time huwa yadhabu huma yadhabani hum yadhabuna hiya tadhabu huma tadhabani hunna yadhabna so let's colour that one in with the ya at the beginning to remain consistent so that's your first six done huwa huma hum hiya huma hunna version now we have anta antuma antum so how what will those look like now here from onwards okay that is going to be the sign of almudare all of them so just pay make a note of that so to save

time i'm going to copy and as you would believe it or not anti version anta version sorry i should say anta version and hiya version is exactly the same well that's the way it in the arabic language way it is in the arabic language you just have to accept it so this is hiya version number four and number five six seven which is anta version is exactly the same now you're going to think how do i tell the difference very easily in context inshallah remember this

one and this one are the only two where there's an external doer this one will not have an external doer so we'll explain that when we come to the lesson so tadhabu tadhabu anta tadhabu antuma okay antuma i'm going to copy here save time antuma version is exactly the same as the huma version and we have the plural version of antum and it is exactly the same as this except that it takes a ta in the front so let's write that one down slowly so you

can see it tadhabu and then waw is the doer and the nun at the end so of course the first is the sign the sign now the harf of al mudara is ta and then the waw is my doer which represents in this case antum and the nun is tadhabuna and then we have now the anti version anti antuma and antunna so the anti version is actually significantly different so pay attention to this one inshallah let's do this one slowly it begins with the ta dal

with sukoon first second root letter now takes a fatha as all the cases we've seen here and the third root letter takes a kasra because the doer now is represented by the letter ya so it's tadhabina let's do our colouring system so they all stand out tadhabina and you'll be glad to know that the doer version of dual version of antuma is exactly the same as the masculine version for the feminine so tadhabani and then we have antunna antunna version again is exactly the similar to

what we've seen with the hunna version antunna version will be begins with the ta zal ha and then we have the ta is our sign harf put that in blue and then we have the nun at the end and this nun is going to be coloured in purple even though it's the doer we will pick that up later so so we have tadhabna and then we have of course the last two most important for as it is the first person for us so i and we

very very easy it is exactly the same as what we've learned except that we simply change the ya to a ta hamza with a fatha on it please no don't call this one alif it is not alif it's sitting on an alif it's very important inshallah so the hamza represents the doer here of course looks like an alif because it's sitting the hamza the beginning of a word is always written on or below an alif nahnu version will be exactly the same except the ya is

changed to a na now quick overview inshallah i'm going to explain this in more detail later these versions yadhabu tadhabu tadhabu adhabu and nadhabu they have no suffixes at all so let me highlight those inshallah in one colour okay you can see that very very clear so these are very easy all you've got to do remember is the beginning bits and yadhabu tadhabu tadhabu adhabu nadhabu you can see there is no drama at the end it's very simple the duals are also relatively easy all of

them exactly the same very similar to the dual in the isms that we learned so let me find another colour that i can highlight this one in so you can see them the only thing you need to remember is the huma version or the masculine is ya and the rest is ta ta ta the plural for hum and antum is exactly the same okay except for the ya and the ta and yadhabna and tadhabna exactly the same except for that so let me just find another

colour here you can see those two okay so you can see it now so the unique one really is this one because they do oh i've collected in red apologies that should be blue so this is the unique one in terms of the scale there is nothing similar to it so let's put in blue colour so you can see here this is it now if you just looked at it and try to memorise them as you go you will look daunted but they're not that difficult

if you remember the most important ones now the most common ones that are going to be used in the language of a seerah is concerned of course will be the hua and dahiya version anta antum and hum versions followed by ah and na these are going to be the common ones the duals are very rare and these two again also you'll see rarely but this is the scale this is how to learn them so please make a note of those points i'm going to explain what

the why i've coloured some of them purple and some of them green and then why the doer is there and in all cases the yellow ones that i've highlighted in all of these the doer is mustatir meaning hidden there is nothing there to indicate them but only in siga number one and siga number four will you find a doer which is a noun declared afterwards and i went through this so slowly in the previous lessons so in the video of the file the doer please check

it only siga one and siga four and the same applies in the mudareh so this is how you will be able to distinguish them inshallah but don't worry about catching everything i've mentioned here if you can do that conjugation once you will be able to inshallah do for others but i will strongly recommend you do as many conjugations as possible please don't copy and paste by typing write it by hand trust me it is far far more effective than trying to see things on the screen

because once you do something in writing your brain associates with it and if you do it once for example after dhuhr prayer maybe once after maghrib prayer and maybe once after isha prayer rather than doing them three times in one go your brain will be able to retain it longer so for the next few days go through as many conjugation as you like don't do 10 of them in one sitting no one that's it copy no problem and then you'll see very soon inshallah you'll be

able to memorise these so this is your conjugation of the mudareh and please trust me every single mudareh you're going to come across will have the similar beginning similar ending the only difference will be the scale varies and we'll go through all the scales inshallah we're now sticking with the scale of form one two three four five six seven eight nine ten are very easy you get this one the rest are very very easy but if you don't learn this one well when you go there

you're going to get lost so please trust me on this before you move on may Allah grant us to learn and put the time and the effort initially required and believe me if you initially build a solid foundation then it will pay dividends may Allah make it easy for all of us so here is the scale of on the pattern of I put it on the screen you're welcome to take a screenshot and write it down slowly make the points everything I mentioned earlier now is

summarised on this screen what I didn't want to do is just read it out you will not be able to retain it hopefully the way I've written it is more effective normally in the class I would make sure all the brothers and sisters were writing every single one and I stand behind them make sure they write it this is the only way to get it to stick in the head so I'm forcing you now to rewrite this all the notes you need is here by all

means pause the video whatever you need to do and take a look at this so let's quickly go through what I mentioned earlier so that inshallah with the additional notes it will help you now these are sigas I explained what siga is in a previous lesson when it's exactly the same principle only after siga number one and siga number four which is why it's highlighted in black will you see an external doer otherwise you will translate only the pronoun so let's begin so the doer is

huwa there is nothing there to indicate the doer it is mustatir so this is why I've written mustatir here nothing there to indicate the doer huwa yadhabani and the alif here is representing my huwa okay yadhabani which you can see there they masculine dual this one of course he or it this is how you'll translate into english go and they go he goes they go that's how you will translate in english inshallah to make the table not cluttered I've taken the translations out otherwise you'll be

able to see the text inshallah yadhabuna yadhabuna is whom the wow represents whom and the noon here is a special noon which we will explain in forthcoming lessons and hence it's been coloured in green so yadhabuna yadhabuna that's your siga number four representing whom by wow yadhabu and here here yadhabu and it is the doer is mustatir how do I notice here because of this combination scale yadhabu that here is hidden within the scale yadhabani yadhabani the alif represents my huwa and the noon is the

noon of special which you can see in all of them inshallah this one the noon this noon is also the doer but I've coloured in purple I'll explain later they masculine plural go again nothing there to indicate the doer in l3 is mustatir how do you tell the difference between this one and this one primarily in context and it's relatively easy because only after this one will you have an external doer so here we have exactly the same as this one again context will tell us

what the verb is referring to in terms of the exact precise whether it is the huma version or antumah version so tadhabani and then the plural of antum very easy the wow being the doer this one's a bit uh out in terms of all the scales we've looked at there's a ya is the doer and that's the unique part of this one which is the anti version and then we have of course exactly the same which is the representing antuma with the alif as the doer

and these three scales are identical even this one is almost identical except for the ya at the beginning which one is that the doer is the noon coloured in purple and then I go we go we go so you can see alhamdulillah this is it this is all the notes you need and it's very very easy once you've done it a couple of times because the ones without the suffixes at the end are very easy to remember very easy inshallah I'll show you how to go

through the drill but for now this is it that's all you need inshallah and this is your first look all of these points are going to be repeated again and again but I just want to give it to you right at the beginning so you got it in one place and then later on inshallah through practise we will learn this so at this stage don't worry about paraphrase and memorisation but please focus on writing them out so let's read it one more time without any of

the additional explanation all I want you to do is just the words okay don't worry about that should be now because of the place and the order that we've done it should be easy we have write it repeat by looking until you can memorise it I'm just using the haba it could be anything verb it could be anything if you've done one the rest will be very easy for you trust me on this one please learn to read write from memory now we're going to do

another verb brothers and sisters I'm not going to type it all out for you others the video will be way way too long and a lot of people complain when the videos are too long them sharp and short but anyhow we have is the scale and as you can see here it could be any of the three but this particular verb I've chosen is the one with the kasra in the second root letter so the root letters are is going into the scale of so it

becomes so we can see here now if you've done the others before you came here then this you should be able to read it with me but nonetheless inshallah there is another one for you to practise now I could have written it slowly but you can see here there is absolutely no difference except for the middle root letter taking a kasra which is followed all the way through otherwise is exactly the same as what we did with so that is your scale let me give you

the details of the scale so on the details of the scale you can see here on the screen exactly the same principle the notes in the bottom are exactly identical and of course you need to translate it into English this verb means he struck in the present sense will be he hits or he is hitting or he will hit he strikes he is striking he will strike it's also used for things like in the Quran quite commonly to strike a simile that's why I've chosen the

translation strike but you can see it means to hit something like this okay so means he strikes or he will strike and you can see here strike not as in work is going on strike as in hitting something so you have you can see the red is the doer and the noon is in green and purple exactly like we did before and the beginning again I mentioned this in the introduction without those letters of at the beginning it is not a mudare cannot be so they

will have these in every one of them how the three root letters are represented of course depends on the baab and the suffixes will also be identical that's it so the real changing that's happening with the mudare really is at the end of the verb that's where we need to focus on and of course how the three root letters fall in so this is your yad ribu verb on the example of the scale of yaf ilu with the kasra in the middle root letter please take

time to rewrite it inshallah you don't have to put the notes in but if you can stick to some colouring system inshallah when we go through in detail you'll be able to see the benefit of learning in this way conjugation of al mudare on the scale of yaf ilu I could have left you to do this one by yourself but I'm sure a little bit of help from me will make it easy for you inshallah so you can see here tansurani, tansuruna, tansurina, tansurani, tansuruna, ansuru,

nansuru all of them really no different from yadhabu no difference from yadribu except for the middle root letter taking a bamma or pesh bamma or pesh whichever one you've learned so you can see the scale here let's go through it one more time slowly inshallah so we have yansuru huwa yansuru so it is on the scale of yaf ilu yansuru, yansurani, yansuruna, tansuru, tansurani, tansuruna, tansuru, tansurani, tansuruna, tansurina, tansurani, tansuruna, tansuru, nansuru that is it brothers and sisters you can see exactly the same principle so

what you learned earlier the details exactly the same all the doers are remaining the same suffixes are the same prefixes are the same for the same corresponding sigha so all you need is a little bit of effort from yourself and all i want you to do is practise the three that i've given you zahaba, yadhabu, nasara, mudara, yansuru, and daraba, yadribu if you practise these three just write them down inshallah read them out and memorise them so i'm not worried about you catching all the details

i've given you just be able to recall them from memory and rewrite them on your table then inshallah when you go to study uh quran in detail or any arabic text wherever you see these scales immediately and even if i repeat this even if the scale is from a different bab you will be able to recognise and provide you know this one very very well okay and so please take your time inshallah and do this task alhamdulillah brothers and sisters we've done now the three different

scales and again i don't need to labour the point by repeating again and again there is very little difference okay this the very little difference only the difference being the vowel or the haraka on the middle root letter i hope and pray inshallah that this lesson doesn't look daunting but if you like anything else in life if you do it slowly if soon it will become very very easy for you so i've written here for your convenience i hope and pray that there is no typing

errors there but inshallah all three of them conjugated here for your benefit so make sure you write them out inshallah alhamdulillah we are now familiar with the imperfect verb al mudare in arabic we understand what it means we understand the the tense of it and that it describes an action that is incomplete and that is why it is called the imperfect i also went through very slowly for you what is the scale of al mudare and you can again you can see that one already inshallah

then i've conjugated three different on the scale all we the details of all the explanation i've given is almost identical to what we did in the maadi we do need to identify the doer and we need to identify the scale and of course the root will come later on as we've learned the advantage of going this way is that when you get to inshallah a little bit further in this course you'll be able to recognise words in arabic you don't even know the meaning of so

you look at a word and say okay this is definitely mudara verb this is a maadi verb this is an amr verb this belongs to this scale i don't know what the meaning is because i don't know the root for example and then all i need to do is look it up in the dictionary and that is why arabic is very very rich in vocabulary you have a huge number of words uh but it is this scale understanding is particularly for verbs and also derived nouns

which we're going to cover in this course and again remember my object is not to try and get you in everything and trying to eat everything we are only looking at that which is essential for you to begin to appreciate the quran in arabic so this is an overview and this lesson inshallah in the second part i will cover the essential bits additional to the scale and the mudara a few points about the mudara in the second part of lesson number six i will conclude the
