لِمَاذَا نَدْرُسُ اللُّغَةَ؟

Why do we study language?

إِنَّ لُغَتَنَا الْعَرَبِيَّةَ مِنْ أَهَمِّ مُقَوِّمَاتِ الثَّقَافَةِ الْإِسْلَامِيَّةِ وَالْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَالْوَطَنِيَّةِ فَهِيَ تَتَجَاوَزُ الْحَرْفَ وَالصَّوْتَ لِتَعْكِسَ أَصَالَةَ الْمُتَحَدِّثِ وَهُوِيَّتَهُ، وَقَدْ أَكَّدَتْ رُؤْيَةُ الْمَمْلَكَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ السُّعُودِيَّةِ 2030 عَلَى الْعِنَايَةِ بِهَا؛ كَوْنَهَا مُكَوِّنٌ رَئِيسٌ مِنْ مُكَوِّنَاتِ الْهُوِيَّةِ الْوَطَنِيَّةِ السُّعُودِيَّةِ.

Arabic is a cornerstone of Islamic, Arab, and national culture. It transcends mere letters and sounds to reflect the speaker's authenticity and identity. Saudi Vision 2030 has emphasized its importance as a fundamental component of Saudi national identity.

إِنَّ التَّمَكُّنَ مِنَ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ يَعْنِي إِتْقَانَ قَوَاعِدِ تَرْكِيبِ مُفْرَدَاتِهَا؛ لِتَجْرِيَ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ بِسَلَاسَةٍ وَفَصَاحَةٍ وَإِتْقَانَ قَوَاعِدِ كِتَابَتِهَا؛ لِيَكْتُبَ الْبَنَانُ كِتَابَةً صَحِيحَةً تُغْنِي عَنِ الشَّرْحِ وَالتَّفْسِيرِ وَتُوصِلَ الْمَعْنَى الْمُرَادَ.

Mastering Arabic means perfecting its grammatical structure so that it flows smoothly and eloquently, and mastering its orthography so that your writing is clear, precise, and conveys your intended meaning without need for further explanation.

وَقَدْ جَمَعْنَا لَكَ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ بَيْنَ كِفَايَاتِ اللُّغَةِ الْأَسَاسِيَّةِ الَّتِي تَنْطَلِقُ مِنْهَا وَتُوَسِّعُ مَدَارِكَكَ وَقِرَاءَتَكَ وَثَقَافَتَكَ، وَتَتَوَاصَلُ مَعَ الْآخَرِينَ بِلُغَةٍ عِلْمِيَّةٍ وَمَهَارَاتٍ لُغَوِيَّةٍ وَكِتَابَةٍ تُسَهِّلُ عَلَيْكَ تَعَلُّمَكَ وَتَوَاصُلَكَ مَعَ غَيْرِكَ.

In this book, we have brought together the essential language competencies to help you expand your understanding, reading, and cultural awareness. These skills will enable you to communicate with others effectively, using precise language and writing that simplify your learning process.

وَهَدَفُنَا الرَّئِيسُ هُوَ تَعْلِيمُ اللُّغَةِ الْعَرَبِيَّةِ لِغَرَضِ مُمَارَسَتِهَا فَأَنْتَ مِنْ خِلَالِ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ سَتَعْرِفُ كَيْفَ تُوَظِّفُ الْأَدَوَاتِ اللُّغَوِيَّةَ كِتَابِيًّا وَشَفَهِيًّا بَدَلًا مِنَ التَّعَرُّفِ عَلَى اللُّغَةِ نَظَرِيًّا، وَسَيَبْهَرُكَ جَمَالُهَا وَإِمْكَانِيَّةُ إِتْقَانِهَا بَعِيدًا عَنِ التَّكَلُّفِ، مِمَّا سَيَدْفَعُكَ لِقِرَاءَةِ الْمَزِيدِ مِنَ الْمَقَالَاتِ وَالْكُتُبِ وَالْأَدَبِ الْفَصِيحِ بِشَغَفٍ وَحَمَاسٍ.

Our primary goal is to teach you how to use Arabic in practice. Through this book, you will learn to employ linguistic tools in both writing and speech rather than simply studying the language theoretically. You will be captivated by its beauty and how easily it can be mastered without affectation, which will inspire you to read more articles, books, and classical literature with passion and enthusiasm.

أُخَيَّ الطَّالِبَةَ نُرَحِّبُ بِكِ فِي الْقِسْمِ الْأَوَّلِ مِنَ الْكِفَايَاتِ اللُّغَوِيَّةِ.

Dear student, we welcome you to the first section of these linguistic competencies.

وَنَأْمُلُ أَنْ يَفْتَحَ لَكِ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ الْمَجَالَ وَاسِعًا لِلتَّدْرِيبِ وَالتَّمَهُّرِ وَالْإِتْقَانِ، وَيُعْطِيَكِ الْفُرْصَةَ كَامِلَةً لِلْعِلْمِ وَالتَّعَلُّمِ وَالتَّعَاوُنِ وَالتَّفْكِيرِ وَالْإِبْدَاعِ.

We hope this book provides you with ample room to practice, develop your skills, and achieve mastery, giving you every opportunity to learn, collaborate, think, and create.

فَأَنْتِ أَهْلٌ لِأَنْ تُفَكِّرِي وَتُبْدِعِي، وَجَدِيرٌ بِأَنْ تَتَمَهَّرِي وَتُتْقِنِي بَارَكَ اللَّهُ خُطُوَاتِكِ، وَنَفَعَ بِكِ دِينَكِ، وَوَطَنَكِ.

You are capable of thinking and creating, and worthy of achieving skill and mastery. May God bless your steps and make you a benefit to your faith and your homeland.
