بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ.

In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَلَّمَ الْإِنْسَانَ مَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ،

Taught man that which he knew not.

وَرَفَعَ قَدْرَ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ، وَحَفِظَهَا بِحِفْظِ كِتَابِهِ الْكَرِيمِ،

He elevated the status of the Arabic language and protected it by preserving His Noble Book.

وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى أَفْصَحِ مَنْ نَطَقَ بِالضَّادِ، سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ.

Blessings and peace be upon the most eloquent of those who spoke the language of the Dad, our master Muhammad, and upon his family and all his companions.

يَسُرُّنَا أَنْ نُقَدِّمَ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ فِي مَادَّةِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ،

We are pleased to present this Arabic language textbook.

وَقَدْ حَرَصْنَا فِيهِ عَلَى أَنْ يَكُونَ تَعْلِيمُ اللُّغَةِ وَسِيلَةً لِبِنَاءِ الْإِنْسَانِ الْقَادِرِ عَلَى التَّفْكِيرِ وَالتَّعْبِيرِ، الْمُتَذَوِّقِ لِجَمَالِ لُغَتِهِ، الْمُعْتَزِّ بِهَوِيَّتِهِ الْمُنْفَتِحِ عَلَى الْعَالَمِ مِنْ حَوْلِهِ.

Our goal is to make language instruction a means of developing individuals capable of critical thought and expression, who appreciate the beauty of their language, take pride in their identity, and remain open to the world around them.

فَاللُّغَةُ لَيْسَتْ مُجَرَّدَ وَسِيلَةٍ لِلْحَدِيثِ وَالْكِتَابَةِ بَلْ هِيَ أَدَاةُ تَفْكِيرٍ تُنَمِّي الْعَقْلَ وَوَسِيلَةُ تَعْبِيرٍ تَتَرْجِمُ الْمَشَاعِرَ، وَجِسْرُ تَوَاصُلٍ يُبْنَى بِهِ الْوَعْيُ الْمُشْتَرَكُ بَيْنَ الْأَفْرَادِ وَالْمُجْتَمَعَاتِ.

Language is more than just a medium for speech and writing; it is a cognitive tool that sharpens the mind, a vehicle for expressing emotions, and a bridge for building shared understanding between individuals and societies.

وَهِيَ مِفْتَاحٌ لِلتَّذَوُّقِ وَفَهْمِ الْجَمَالِ الْإِنْسَانِيِّ الْكَامِنِ فِي النُّصُوصِ، وَأَدَاةٌ لِاكْتِشَافِ الثَّقَافَاتِ، وَرَبْطِ الْحَاضِرِ بِالْمَاضِي.

It serves as a key to appreciating the human beauty hidden within texts, a tool for exploring cultures, and a link between the present and the past.

إِنَّهَا الْوِعَاءُ الَّذِي يَحْفَظُ التَّارِيخَ، وَيَحْمِلُ الْقِيَمَ، وَيَرْبِطُ بَيْنَ الْأَجْيَالِ، وَيُشَكِّلُ هُوِيَّةَ الْأُمَّةِ وَثَقَافَتَهَا وَصُورَتَهَا فِي الْوُجُودِ.

It is the vessel that preserves history, upholds values, unites generations, and defines the identity, culture, and presence of a nation.

وَمِنْ هُنَا انْطَلَقَ تَأْلِيفُ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ لِيُقَدِّمَ الْعَرَبِيَّةَ فِي صُورَةٍ مُشَوِّقَةٍ وَمُنَظَّمَةٍ، تُخَاطِبُ عَقْلَ الْمُتَعَلِّمِ وَوِجْدَانَهُ، وَتُرَاعِي خَصَائِصَ نُمُوِّهِ وَتُلَبِّي احْتِيَاجَاتِهِ التَّعْلِيمِيَّةَ وَالْمَعْرِفِيَّةَ وَالْمَهَارِيَّةَ.

This book was created to present Arabic in an engaging and structured way, speaking to both the intellect and the spirit of the learner while addressing their developmental stages and their educational, cognitive, and practical needs.

تُوَزَّعُ الْكِتَابُ عَلَى وَحْدَتَيْنِ دِرَاسِيَّتَيْنِ تَضُمُّ كُلُّ وَحْدَةٍ ثَلَاثَةَ مَوْضُوعَاتٍ رَئِيسَةٍ، تَتَنَاوَلُ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا مِحْوَرًا مِنْ مَحَاوِرِ الْحَيَاةِ، مُتَّصِلًا بِقِيَمِ الْمُجْتَمَعِ الْكُوَيْتِيِّ وَوَاقِعِهِ وَمُسْتَشْرِفًا آفَاقَ الْمُسْتَقْبَلِ.

The book is divided into two study units, each containing three main topics. These topics address various aspects of life, reflecting the values and realities of Kuwaiti society while looking toward future horizons.

يَبْدَأُ كُلُّ مَوْضُوعٍ بِتَهْئِيَةٍ إِثْرَائِيَّةٍ، ثُمَّ يُعْرَضُ النَّصُّ الْقِرَائِيُّ مَصْحُوبًا بِأَنْشِطَةٍ لِلْفَهْمِ وَالتَّحْلِيلِ، يَلِيهِ تَنَاوُلٌ لِمَهَارَاتِ التَّذَوُّقِ الْفَنِّيِّ السَّلَامَةِ اللُّغَوِيَّةِ، الرَّسْمِ الْهِجَائِيِّ وَالْكِتَابِيِّ التَّعْبِيرِ، إِضَافَةً إِلَى تَدْرِيبَاتٍ مُتَنَوِّعَةٍ تُثْرِي تَعَلُّمَ الْمُتَعَلِّمِ وَتَدْعَمُهُ.

Each topic begins with an enrichment introduction, followed by a reading text accompanied by comprehension and analysis activities. These are followed by lessons on artistic appreciation, linguistic accuracy, orthography, writing, and expression, alongside various exercises to reinforce and broaden the learner's knowledge.
