Interview with the author of the Madinah Arabic Books Dr. V. Abdur Rahim 

I am sad to hear that he passed away yesterday. We lost a big rare scholar 😢 I wished to meet him in life time. May Allah grant him highest level in Jannah.

I have been a personal friend and student of Dr V. for over 30 years. Wait until the NEW EDITION of the Madinah Arabic Course is out! We've been working on it for years. Fantastic.

It's a pleasure to see his face. Alhamdulillah I have always been inspired by his books and now I have come to learn that he's not Arab and that he studied English & literature. Alhamdulillah I feel I can also make it

may allah reward shaykh v abdur rahim i am currently using his books right now

Proud of our sheikh... He is from my hometown vaniyambadi. May Allah preserve him.

I am studying his books and have found that they are amazing. Teaching grammer the applied way is really amazing Mashallah. Allah accept your efforts and make us benifit from it. Ameen.

MaShaAllah.. I'm an Arabic teacher from indonesia, and I was teaching Arabic using his book for many Years.. And I really wanna meet Him one day.. May Allah always keep and bless him..

I am learning Arabic from his books. Ma sha Allah, his books are outstanding compared to many I have studied. Thank you for sharing this wonderful treasure, Ya Sheikh.

Thank you Sir Dr V. Abdurr Raheem. I learn arabic with his bookwork. I download from internet. Hope you gain abundant reward from Allah.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1980">33:00</a> Shiek talks abt the old canadian Br. Asif meherali. Im sure most of us here have watched his videos and came to know this shiek through him.

He is my inspiration. May Allah protect him.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1922">32:02</a> For some Reason the story sheikh mentions reminds me of other stories mentioned in Hadiths where Angels come in form of humans to help people. Who knows maybe that arabic speaking Bahrainian person in India was an angel in disguise, Allah knows best.

My favourite Mentor of Arabic. May Allah allow me and all to propagate and serve this Auspicious language.Accept our Shayikh efforts with best rewards.

May Allah reward him immensely I have already ordered his books

اللہ تعالیٰ ڈاکٹر صاحب کی عمر دراز کرے۔ میری ان سے گزارش ہے کہ وہ اپنی انگریزی میں لکھی ہوئی کتابوں کا اردو میں ترجمہ کریں جزاک اللہ خیرا

Wow sheikh speaks amazing English.

Sukran and Jazakallaho Khair Dr. Saheb. I am now in book 2 and follow youtube classes by Brother Asif Meherali. Who is also a great teacher.

This man is a gift from Allah to muslim learners.

Happy to see the great teacher Dr. V Abdul Rahim's interview.l am so fascinated and following his book to learn Arabic for non Arabic speaking community "Duroos-ul-Lughat-il-Arabiyyah li Ghayr-in-Naatiqeena " through Br: Asif Meher ali' s teaching videos uploaded in you tube. May Almighty Allah bless them abundantly .

May Allah preserve him! And reward him for his efforts! Ameen

ما شاء الله اللهم احفظه Sheikh, I love you in the name of Allah

One of the great teacher. May Allah bless you.

Jazakallahu khayra sheikh abdurrahim may Allah reward you with al jannah firdaws and save you from the punishment of the grave, allah subhanahu wa t'ala has really used you for a great good may Allah put blessings in it for you, jazakallahu khayra thanks so much sir for your great service to islam,you have really touched a lot of lives.

Thank you, sir. I’m not a Muslim. I’m originally from Malaysia. I’m so grateful to the Sheikh for showing me the way. Besides Mr. Meherali who is a good teacher, I also listen to a free website based in South Africa called Muslim Central for all the three books. It asks for donations for the brilliant lessons and you would give a donation ( with what you can) when you’ve listened to the wonderful reading. Sheikh Bilal, the teacher, has a lovely voice and goes through the Madinah Arabic books in a clear and concise way. You’re my hero, Sheikh Abdur Rahim!

May Allah reward the shiekh immensely..ameen

Sheikh, you are my hero ❤

I am learner of Arabic language to understand Holy Book Qura'n . I have gone through the Book 1, Book 2, and major portion of Book 3 as well. I am 66 year old man, retired from higher grade of Govt. services of Pakistan. I am an experienced Engineer in Field, and teaching to my juniors. To learn Arabic is quite difficult for me, then how an average students of under graduate level, who could not got admission in normal colleges for graduation in art subject can claim themselves as master of Arabic languages and selling Fatwa's ? Is there more simple or specific method to teach such in religious Madrasahs ?

May allah bless the noble Shaykh, his website is amazing and he still uploads new content!

May Allah bless you Dr. Vaniyambady Abdur Raheem

We are planning to do You tube videos starting at his Children's book (unknown to most, although available at Amazon). We would title these You Tube videos something like : Arabic The Way Dr V. Wanted It.....or something like that. You see, the problem with the videos we have seen is that they teach Arabic in a non practical way. All you see is a video locked in on a teacher droning on. Sometimes you don't even realize there are students in the class. Literally. You need to see students, hear their reading, watch the teacher correct them, have THEM make sentences, make mistakes, be corrected, write their sentences on the board, do the homework assignments and have a student-teacher interactions. That's how you teach language. Virtually all the videos (myself and Abdur Rahim) are NOT this. We are flabbergasted to see how almost nobody follows this methodology which is exactly how everybody learned Arabic from the Arabic center at Medina University which was under his control. So.... so we are in the process of doing that. We would video tape myself teaching a regular class (a bit drab, but practical nonetheless). The books will probably be free PDF downloads so that graveyard-shift worker can easily go thru a lesson per night. He can pause the video before the students do the exercises in the book. He can write them down on his Apple Tab thing whatchamacallit, and the teacher would then correct the students, and the viewer can see what he did wrong. This is a practical as we can make an online class so that the viewer CAN ACTUALLY learn - to some degree - the language.

Fantastic discussion.

Love u shaykh abdr raheem

I'm from India Shaikh .

Jazakallahu khairan

He is Indian, ma sha Allah, of my country.

I am looking for friends who can help me learn the language. I am in book 2 and looking for friends with whom i can conversate on a regular basis in arabic to improve my fluency !

جزاك الله خيرا. بالتوفيق إن شاء الله.

جزاك الله خيرا

masha allah

وعليكم السلام ورحة الله وبركاته

I am also from tamilnadu if i read these books will learn Arabic to understand quran

Barak Allahu Fik.

Dr. Your degree thesis on the Arabic words that are phonetically similar to Persian words is very relevant. I wonder why it was blocked and you didn't insist, now that you are above 80...

Salaam Alaikum. Dear interviewer, it seems our Sheikh is not at all comfortable in his seat. Couldn't you arrange a good chair or sofa for this most honourable but physically vulnerable scholar to comfortably sit and talk? I am really disappointed to see him trying to cling in his seat. The other point is the place of this interview. You are introducing him to the world, at least to the huge number of Arabic language learners and scholars who did not see him and are interested to know about him and see him but the place and position he is sitting is very poor in terms of ambiance and environment. It seems to be a bookstore that became a makeshift studio for such an important interview. Last but not the least, your presentation, i.e., your way of questioning or asking information and interrupting his speech does show indecent attitude (I believe you do not have such an intention at all though). The overall presentation is not at all up to the mark! Yet, I thank you for trying to do something great but without proper preparation and planning and professional help. My deepest respect to our great Sheikh. May Allah azzawajal bless him with highest honour and forgive us the viewers of this video and enable us to be competent in Arabic language and be true Muslim. Ameen

mashaAllah
