I suggest you visit the site arabicmaqamworld, it's pretty well explained for occidentals, with reasonable comparisons with our modal system, it's pretty complete ,with recorded examples, another great site is maqamlessons.com, there you have also very good examples and entire pieces analized and "choped" into ajnas(divisions of maqamat in tetrachords,trichods or pentachords, ajnas is plural for Jins)
BRAVO !
