The pioneer in verb conjugation

Product description

The reason I was prompted to produce this book is what I have seen of the students' discouragement in the subject of morphology, and their reliance on memorization to pass exams in it, which kills the innate ability and freezes creativity. I believe that this discouragement stems from the approach that authors have taken and become accustomed to, which is to list the rules in a written form without accompanying exercises that reinforce them, or thorough discussion that solidifies them, and elevates them from mere recall to awareness, then to impression and deep-rooted understanding. Our predecessors succeeded remarkably in mastering and clarifying the rules, and it was easy for them—being the experienced leaders and perceptive scholars—to present varied and diverse exercises. However, they—may God have mercy on them—did not follow this approach. If they had, they would not have left behind a perspective or a gap to be filled by others. Their focus on simply clarifying the rules prompted me to think and reflect, so as to reinforce these rules through applications that do not suffice with a fleeting glance or a quick glimpse, but require effort, full understanding, and good insight. I am not the first to take this approach; the authors of "Clear Grammar" have done so before, but they—may God have mercy on them—only touched on a few of the topics my book covers. And in a concise manner that matches the capacity of high school students. I did not rely on their books at all, though I acknowledge their precedence and guidance. As for the book "Tahdheeb Al-Tawdih," it is a worthy work of appreciation. However, the authors, the late ones, aimed to compress the rules, which encourages students to memorize, and burdens teachers with unnecessary effort, not to mention the lack of sufficient exercises and their poor integration. The book "Shatha Al-‘Urf" is comprehensive, but the absence of exercises, the confusion of rules, their scattering across some chapters, and their merging in others, somewhat diminish its value. I have adopted the method of listing examples in groups, then providing guidance and analysis, followed by summarizing the rules, and including many applications. This approach serves as a beacon for teachers, a guide for exam takers, and a way to train students on research and understanding, diverting them from mere memorization, and preparing them to develop their innate abilities.
