- Dr. Vaniyambady Abdur Raheem is the author of the Madinah Arabic Books, a series that it could be argued is the most popular ever amongst English speaking Muslims.
In this rare interview in English, he shares some of his life experiences and describes some very interesting episodes from his personal life. He also gives his view on learning Arabic.
I wanted to make a point of interviewing him, in order to personally acknowledge and respect his great contribution to the learning of Arabic. His lifetime contribution deserves to be recognised.
Enjoy!
Interviewed on the 10th of March 2020 in Al-Madinah Al-Munawarrah, Saudi Arabia by Dr. Sohaib M. Sandhu
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.
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
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.
Proud of our sheikh... He is from my hometown vaniyambadi. May Allah preserve him.
Thank you Sir Dr V. Abdurr Raheem.
I learn arabic with his bookwork.
I download from internet.
Hope you gain abundant reward from Allah.
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.
32:02 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.
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..
Masha Allah
I want to become as an Arabic teaching
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.
When is it gonna be out? Is there a big difference to the old edition?
Any updates on that?
Can you tell me more about the new edition? I’m an Arabic student and I’m really eager to see what you’ve got going on.
You are referring to the Ultimate Arabic series?
We are also waiting for it, Please tell us when it release syaikh.. jazakallahu khoiran
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.
He is my inspiration. May Allah protect him.
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

Books Written by him is really significant for new Arabic learners.I also learned Arbic from Madinah Arabic Books.
It is very fun to try speaking it with your friends and Arabs, after learning a bit. Alhamdulillah. The Arabs are so surprised when my friend who is pretty far into the curriculum starts speaking fusha.
He speaks better then some Arabs already Mashallah. May Allah increase us all and reward the sheikh and his team abundantly.
This man is a gift from Allah to muslim learners.
Jazakallahu khairan
Masha Allah jazakallah
Love u shaykh abdr raheem
Barak Allahu Fik.
Sheikh, you are my hero ❤
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!
You're not a Muslim?
May almighty Allah guide you to the path of Islam
May Allah guide you to islam.
Great books,
masha allah
I'm from India Shaikh .
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 ?
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.
mashaAllah

حفظه الله
وعليكم السلام ورحة الله وبركاته
may Allah swt lighten your grave.and forgives you all misdeeds. amin
In words tabled in forms words are doubtful in English meaning. Books are excellent. It will help improve vocabulary.
I am also from tamilnadu if i read these books will learn Arabic to understand quran

Just came across a jewel

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 !
Welcome brother
Iam also in the same boat
I can read Arabic and understand it.
I also hear and understand it.
But I am not able to converse in Arabic.
@@Asdpdkl nice to hear brother. I can only read arabic. As far as understanding is concerned i won't lie I'm still a starter.
@@fuzailkhan9362 assalamu alaikum. Try getting in touch with native speakers through a website such as www.conversationexchange.com. if you can teach some english, others will be happy to have a conversation with you.
@@shabanaazam8382 i have never used this app. But i believe that most of the people are using such apps for inappropriate purposes. Have you ever used it yourself ??
Bidden😘
He held on a bigger fed him and gave him money just to learn and practice arabic. Very interesting.
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...
MASHA ALLAH🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳😘😘south Pple are more intelligent...
May Allah curse all people who are nationalist
إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون
اللهم اغفر له وارحمه وعافه واعف عنه وأكرم نزله ووسع مدخله واغسله بالماء والثلج والبرد ونقه من الذنوب والخطايا كما ينقى الثوب الأبيض من الدنس وابدله دارا خيرا من داره واهلا خيرا من وأدخله الجنة وأعذه من عذاب القبر ومن عذاب النار .

Who's the inter
Is this book is enough to understand quran? What about vocabulary?
Please suggest
For vocabulary brother you have to do some extra work apart from learning these books i am right now in book 3 these books are very good but with that you have to do some extra work like watching arabic series or some other easy arabic books and buy dictionary
It will help you a lot in shaa Allah and you will be able to understand quran
Can youvarrange to get sponsir and send me a copy sir.
It's available at the website, LQ Toronto. You can download all the books there.

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
WalaikumSalaam. Jazakallahkhair for your feedback. In fact the video recording took place in his house, in his library. He is a very busy person and so trying to get him at a time that suited him was important. I appreciate your point about him perhaps being uncomfortable. I would say that he was comfortable being at home and in his own environment. He is a Mujahid Ma Sha Allah. The purpose behind the interview was to recognise him for his services to Muslims. He deserves much more acknowedgement than this humble effort. It was the first time he opened up in my opinion, and I wanted to delve more into his life and how he came to this point in order to inspire others. Apologies if it looked like I was interrupting him, I could certainly improve. Believe it or not, this video was recorded on my phone and done with very limited resources. In Sha Allah I pray this effort benefits those who watch the video.
@@alif4386 Accept my apology for being too sceptical and perhaps a bit rude in my reaction. All my intention was to see both of you in a formal and fashionable environment (we are, nowadays, used to such views). Salaam
