"I Know Arabic But I Can't Understand the Scholarly Books" 

My problem is in vice versa. I prefer reading Ibnu Qoyyim book than reading news 🤣😭 My Arab friends call me ancient human 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for your time and effort brother in making this video. I will add to what you said . For a person to understand an Arabic book for a certain subject be it tafseer, hadith and fiqh, one need a teacher in that field to be able to understand the Arabic commentary on the said subjects. You cannot just carry a medicine book, and think that just because you know English you can read and understand that book and can even perform operations, that's is the reason we go to school to learn. My advise is, any book you want to study you should find a teacher in that subject to teach you and to also clarify any doubts you have.

Good to have that distinction between language barrier and subject barrier. Barakallahu feek I’m enjoying the videos and your personal experience.

It also is different from one field to another. Like the word khabar means something different in nahu and balaghah

ASA! Shu'kran for the clarification and informative info on slowing it down a bit to understand what we're doing as far as learning the interpretations of the arabic subject barriers etc! Jazakallahu Khairan 💙

هذه نصيحة نافعة و بارك الله فيك اخ محمد

That's true I saw many students want to jump to Fikh even though they don't have the vocabularies they used on these books they need to practice a lot n be educated with Arabic language as yo know even for native they need to prepare themselves b4 going to study Fikeh

Some people are vice versa, they understand these religious books but cannot conversate well

جزاك الله خيرا

I feel sad alot as I put so much time in studying Arabic with some books and still I can't speak or understand news or read books and understand some books without guidance

I’ve always wondered this but I assumed it was my lack of knowledge in the language 😂. Now I know it isn’t.

وعليكم السلام

This will sound weird but... didn't you make a meme video on the same topic a long time ago?

After studying the baynah yadak/Madinah book series what would you say is the next step?

So basically it's one more lie of Arabs, when they say "just learn Fusha and you could understand our ancient books, our language hasn't changed for 1000 years". First of all, it has changed and modern dialects are no "accents" but different languages which have developed their own rules. Then MSA is also not a Classical Arabic, and you'll need a special training if you want to understand ancient scholars or poetry. You need to learn, learn, learn more. The question though is Arabic really worth to waste all your life? You can probably learn all main European languages, or Japanese+Chinese instead in the same period of time, and it will be more useful. At least for me.
