Introduction to Al-Ajroomeya

The Arabs themselves had long before initiated a formal and systematic methodology to teach Arabic Grammar to their children. From the systems the Arabs employed one text in particular shines far more clearly than any other, it has withstood the test of time and is still after more than seven hundred years since its authors’ death, being taught throughout the Arab world. It is the text of Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Dau’d as-Sinhaji, known as Ibn Ajrum. The text itself although not named as such by the author, has become known as ‘al-Ajrumiyyah. The Ajrumiyyah, is the quintessence of Arabic grammar, its status is largely unchallenged as an excellent introduction to this first field of learning, which every scholar must master before delving into other Arabic literature. We find much attention has been paid to it amongst Arab scholars over a considerable period of time. The text, now over seven centuries old, saw a major commentary compiled by ash-Shirbini, only two centuries after, yet even as recently as four decades ago, the Director of the College of Language at al-Azhar University the late Muhammad Muhyu-Din Abdul Hamid wrote his commentary which is called At-Tuhfa As-Saniyya bi Sharhi al-Muqadima Al-Ajrumiya (التُحْفَةٌ السَنيَة بِشَرْحِ الْمُقَدِّمَةِ الآجُرُّومِيَّة)
 
 This commentary along with the late Sheikh Muhammad ibn Saalih Uthaymeen's explanation known as Sharh Muqadimmatul Ajroomiyya شرح مقدمة الاجرومية are the most famous explanations which are taught from today.
