What Does Fawakih's Quranic Arabic- Level 2 cover?

Level 2 of Fawakih's Quranic Arabic Curriculum builds upon the basic sentence structures introduced in Level 1. Students are introduced to nawāsikh al-jumal (such as inna and kāna and their sisters), the jussive, as well as several verbal constructions such as the passive voice, past continuous, habitual actions, and emphatic future tense. In Morphology, students are introduced to patterns of derived nouns such as the emphatic (ism al-mubalagha), noun of time and place (ism al-zamān wa al-makān), noun of instrument (ism al-āla). Students are also introduced to the ten major augmented verb forms and use of a root-based dictionary. These concepts are then reinforced through Text Analysis (selections from Qisas al-Nabiyeen) and Listening (short videos on Prophetic sunnas), and Quran Analysis (continued selections from the 30th Juz) modules.
