الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَلَّمَ بِالْقَلَمِ، وَأَقْسَمَ بِهِ خَيْرَ قَسَمٍ وَالصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ الَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا لِلْأُمَمِ.

Praise be to Allah, who taught by the pen and swore by it the best of oaths. May peace and blessings be upon His Messenger, whom He sent to the nations as a bringer of good news and a warner.

وَرِضْوَانٌ مِنْهُ عَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ الَّذِينَ سَارُوا عَلَى نَهْجِهِ، وَاهْتَدَوْا بِهَدْيِهِ، فَقَطَعُوا دَابِرَ الظُّلْمِ وَبَدَّدُوا الظُّلْمَ، وَبَعْدُ،

May His favor be upon his family and companions who followed his path and were guided by his example, for they uprooted injustice and scattered the darkness. To proceed,

فَيَسُرُّنَا أَنْ نُقَدِّمَ لِطَلَبَةِ الصَّفِّ السَّادِسِ الْأَسَاسِيِّ وَمُعَلِّمِيهِمْ وَمُعَلِّمَاتِهِمُ الْجُزْءَ الثَّانِيَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ،

We are pleased to present the second part of the Arabic language textbook to sixth-grade students and their teachers.

الَّذِي وَضَعْنَاهُ وَفْقَ الْأُسُسِ وَالْمَعَايِيرِ التَّرْبَوِيَّةِ الَّتِي بَلْوَرَتْهَا وِزَارَةُ التَّرْبِيَةِ وَالتَّعْلِيمِ فِي الْخُطُوطِ الْعَرِيضَةِ لِتَطْوِيرِ مِنْهَاجِ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ.

We have developed this book in accordance with the educational standards and foundations established by the Ministry of Education for the advancement of the Arabic language curriculum.

حَوَى الْجُزْءُ الْأَوَّلُ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ عَشْرَ وَحَدَاتٍ دِرَاسِيَّةٍ ذَاتِ أَبْعَادٍ مُتَعَدِّدَةٍ هِيَ: الدِّينِيُّ، وَالْوَطَنِيُّ، وَالْقَوْمِيُّ، وَالْإِنْسَانِيُّ وَالْعِلْمِيُّ.

The first part of the book contained ten academic units covering various dimensions: religious, national, patriotic, humanitarian, and scientific.

تَكَوَّنَتْ سِتٌّ مِنْهَا مِنْ نَصٍّ نَثْرِيٍّ، تَلَاهُ نَصٌّ شِعْرِيٌّ، ثُمَّ الْقَوَاعِدُ اللُّغَوِيَّةُ، فَالْإِمْلَاءُ، فَالْخَطُّ، فَالتَّعْبِيرُ،

Six of these units consisted of a prose text followed by a poem, then grammar, spelling, calligraphy, and composition.

فِيمَا خَلَتِ الدُّرُوسُ الْأَرْبَعَةُ الْأُخْرَى مِنَ النَّصِّ الشِّعْرِيِّ بِقَصْدِ التَّخْفِيفِ عَنِ الطَّلَبَةِ،

The other four lessons omitted the poetic text to lighten the load on the students,

إِذِ الْهَدَفُ الْأَسَاسُ مِنْ هَذَا النَّصِّ هُوَ تَنْمِيَةُ مَلَكَةِ الْحِفْظِ لَدَى الطَّلَبَةِ، وَزِيَادَةُ حَصِيلَتِهِمُ الْأَدَبِيَّةِ وَاللُّغَوِيَّةِ.

as the primary goal of such texts is to build the students' capacity for memorization and enrich their literary and linguistic knowledge.

أَمَّا نَصُّ الْقِرَاءَةِ، وَهُوَ النَّصُّ الْأَسَاسُ، فَقَدْ حَرَصْنَا عَلَى أَنْ تَتِمَّ مُنَاقَشَتُهُ وَتَحْلِيلُهُ وَمُلَاحَظَةُ الظَّوَاهِرِ اللُّغَوِيَّةِ فِيهِ،

As for the reading text—the core of each lesson—we have ensured that it is discussed, analyzed, and examined for its linguistic features,

بِقَصْدِ فَهْمِهِ وَاسْتِيعَابِهِ وَالتَّمَكُّنِ مِنْهُ، وَفْقَ تَسَلْسُلٍ تَصَاعُدِيٍّ لِمُسْتَوَى الْمَهَارَاتِ الْمُتَعَارَفِ عَلَيْهَا؛

with the goal of ensuring comprehension and mastery through a progressive sequence of recognized skills:

مِنْ تَذَكُّرٍ، وَفَهْمٍ، وَتَحْلِيلٍ، وَاسْتِنْتَاجٍ، وَغَيْرِهَا مِنْ مَهَارَاتِ التَّفْكِيرِ الْعُلْيَا،

remembering, understanding, analysis, deduction, and other higher-order thinking skills.

وَأَمَّا النَّصُّ الشِّعْرِيُّ فَقَدْ آثَرْنَا أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَا صِلَةٍ بِالنَّصِّ النَّثْرِيِّ، مَسْبُوقًا بِإِضَاءَةٍ حَوْلَ الْقَائِلِ، تَلِيهَا مُنَاقَشَةٌ لِلنَّصِّ، وَيَحْفَظُ الطَّالِبُ مِنْهُ سِتَّةَ أَبْيَاتٍ.

For the poetic text, we chose pieces related to the prose selection, preceded by a brief introduction about the poet, followed by a discussion, with students required to memorize six verses.

سَلَكْنَا فِي طَرْحِ مَوْضُوعَاتِ الْقَوَاعِدِ اللُّغَوِيَّةِ، وَالْإِمْلَاءِ أُسْلُوبًا اسْتِقْرَائِيًّا يَعْتَمِدُ عَلَى طَرْحِ الْأَمْثِلَةِ وَالْمُلَاحَظَةِ وَالِاسْتِنْتَاجِ، أَوِ التَّذَكُّرِ مُبَاشَرَةً،

In presenting grammar and spelling, we employed an inductive method based on examples, observation, and deduction, or direct recall,

وَرَاعَيْنَا تَوْظِيفَ نَصِّ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي خِدْمَتِهِ، ثُمَّ رَفَدْنَا الْقَوَاعِدَ وَالْإِمْلَاءَ بِالتَّدْرِيبَاتِ الَّتِي تُقَوِّي مَهَارَةَ التَّطْبِيقِ عِنْدَ الطَّلَبَةِ،

while ensuring the reading text serves these lessons. We have supplemented the grammar and spelling sections with exercises to strengthen the students' practical application.

وَأَمَّا فِي الْخَطِّ، فَقَدْ حَرَصْنَا عَلَى أَنْ يَكْتُبَ الطَّلَبَةُ نَمَاذِجَ تُنَمِّي الذَّائِقَةَ الْجَمَالِيَّةَ عِنْدَ الطَّلَبَةِ بِتَلَمُّسِ مَوَاطِنِ الْجَمَالِ فِي الْخُطُوطِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ مُمَثَّلَةً بِخَطَّيِ النَّسْخِ وَالرُّقْعَةِ،

Regarding calligraphy, we have encouraged students to write models that cultivate an aesthetic sense by appreciating the beauty of Arabic script, specifically the Naskh and Ruq'ah styles,

وَمُحَاوَلَةِ الْكِتَابَةِ بِهَذَيْنِ الْخَطَّيْنِ، وَفْقَ قَوَاعِدِ الْكِتَابَةِ بِهِمَا، يَقِينًا مِنَّا بِأَنَّ الطَّلَبَةَ فِي أَمَسِّ الْحَاجَةِ إِلَى الْخُطُوطِ الْوَاضِحَةِ الْجَمِيلَةِ.

and by practicing these scripts according to their rules, as we believe students are in great need of clear, beautiful handwriting.

وَأَخِيرًا جَاءَ التَّعْبِيرُ؛ لِتَنْمِيَةِ قُدْرَةِ الطَّلَبَةِ فِي الْكِتَابَةِ مِنْ خِلَالِ فَقْرَةٍ قَصِيرَةٍ، أَوْ لَافِتَةٍ، أَوْ قِصَّةٍ قَصِيرَةٍ، أَوْ تَلْخِيصٍ لِفَقْرَةٍ.

Finally, the composition section aims to develop students' writing abilities through short paragraphs, signs, brief stories, or summaries.

وَلَا بُدَّ مِنَ التَّنْوِيهِ إِلَى أَنَّ كُلَّ وَحْدَةٍ مِنَ الْوَحَدَاتِ الْعَشْرِ مُرْفَقٌ بِهَا نَصٌّ لِلِاسْتِمَاعِ وَرَدَ فِي دَلِيلِ الْمُعَلِّمِ، وَلَهُ أَسْئِلَةُ مُنَاقَشَتِهِ فِي الْكِتَابِ الْمُقَرَّرِ،

It should be noted that each of the ten units includes a listening text provided in the teacher's guide, with corresponding discussion questions in the student textbook.

وَفِي ذَلِكَ مَا يَدْعُو إِلَى إِبْقَاءِ الْمُعَلِّمِ هَذِهِ النُّصُوصَ فِي جَعْبَتِهِ، دُونَ إِطْلَاعِ الطُّلَّابِ عَلَيْهَا؛ حَتَّى لَا يَفْقِدَ الِاسْتِمَاعُ هَدَفَهُ الْمَنْشُودَ.

Teachers are advised to keep these texts to themselves rather than sharing them with students, so that the listening exercises do not lose their intended purpose.

إِنَّ ثِقَتَنَا بِقُدْرَةِ مُعَلِّمِينَا وَمُعَلِّمَاتِنَا عَلَى التَّعَامُلِ مَعَ مُفْرَدَاتِ الْكِتَابِ كَبِيرَةٌ،

We have great confidence in our teachers' ability to engage with the book's content,

كَمَا أَنَّنَا نَتَوَسَّمُ فِيهَا حُسْنَ عَرْضِ مُحْتَوَيَاتِهِ أَمَامَ طَلَبَتِهِمْ، بِاسْتِخْدَامِ أَسَالِيبَ تَرْبَوِيَّةٍ نَاجِعَةٍ،

and we expect them to present the material effectively to their students using successful pedagogical methods.

مُؤَكِّدِينَ عَلَى أَنَّ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ الَّذِي بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ هُوَ فِي طَوْرِ التَّجْرِيبِ، وَأَنَّ الْإِدَارَةَ الْعَامَّةَ لِلْمَنَاهِجِ بِانْتِظَارِ مَلْحُوظَاتِهِمُ الْبَنَّاءَةِ حَوْلَهُ.

We emphasize that this book is currently in a trial phase, and the General Administration of Curricula welcomes any constructive feedback.

وَاللَّهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْقَصْدِ.

Allah is the witness to our intentions.
