Description
About The Book
Alfiyyat Ibn Malik is the universal foundational poem of classical Arabic grammar — a 1,002-line rajaz versification of the entire system of Arabic nahw, composed by the Andalusian master Jamal al-Din Ibn Malik in the seventh Islamic century. The poem covers every major topic — the kalima, the marfuat, the mansubat, the majrurat, the operators of nasb and jazm, the laws of agreement and governance — in tight, memorisable couplets that allow the student to carry the entire grammar of the language in his memory.
For more than seven centuries, the Alfiyya has been the universal beginner-to-intermediate matn of Arabic grammar across the Sunni world. It has generated more than fifty significant commentaries, foremost among them those of Ibn Aqil, Ibn Hisham, and al-Ushmuni. A serious student of the Arabic language commits the Alfiyya to memory and revisits it for life.

About the author
Ibn Malik al-Andalusi: Imam Jamal al-Din Muhammad b. Abd Allah Ibn Malik al-Andalusi rahimahullah (600-672 AH / 1203-1274 CE) was the preeminent grammarian of his age. Born in Jaen in Muslim Andalusia, he emigrated eastward, eventually settling in Damascus, where he spent the remainder of his life teaching and composing. He was the master of Arabic linguistics of the medieval Islamic world, producing works that became the standard references in the field for centuries. His greatest legacy is the Alfiyya (al-Khulasa fi al-Nahw), a didactic poem of one thousand and two verses in the rajaz meter that systematizes the entirety of Arabic grammar - covering the word, the marfu'at, the mansubat, the majrurat, the particles of nasb and jazm, and the rules of agreement and government. The poem has been memorized in every land of Islam across seven centuries and has attracted more than fifty commentaries, the most celebrated being those of Ibn Aqil, Ibn Hisham, and al-Ashmuni. Beyond the Alfiyya, his al-Kafiya al-Shafiya covers the same material at greater length, and his works on lugha and morphology remain standard references.
