Arab Tribes
The Sealed Nectar
Arab peoples have been divided according to lineage toto three groups
1. Perished Arabs: The ancient Arabs, of whose history little is known, and of whom were 'Ad. Thamud, Taam, Jadis. Emlaq and others.
2. Pure Arabs: Who originated from the progeny of Ya'rub bin Yashjub bin Qahtan. They were also called Qahtanian Arabs. 3. Arabized Arabs: Who originated from the progeny of Ismael. They were also called 'Adnanian Arabs.
The pure Arabs- the people of Qahtan-originally lived in Yemen and comprised many tribes, two of which were very famous:
a) Himyan The most famous of whose ancestors were Zaid Al- Jamhur. Quda'ah and Sakasic.
b) Kahlan: The most famous of whose ancestors were Hamdan. Anmar. Tat. Mudhhij. Kindah. Lakhm, Judham. Azd. Aws. Khazraj and the descendants of Jafnah- the kings of old Synta The Kahlan tribes emigrated from Yemen to dwell in the different parts of the Arabian Peninsula prior to the Great Flood (Sail Al- Arim of the Ma'arib Dam). They did this due to the failure of trade under the Roman pressure and control of both sea and land trade routes following the Roman occupation of Egypt and Syrta Naturally enough, the competition between Kahlan and Himyar led to the evacuation of the first and the settlement of the second
in Yemen
The emigrating tribes of Kahlan can be divided into four groups. 1. Al-Azd: Who wandered in Yemen, sent pioneers under the leadership of Imran bin Amr Muzayqiya", and finally headed to the north and the east. Details of their emigration can be summed up as follows
Tha'labah bin Amr left his tribe Al-Azd for Hijaz, and dwelt between Tha'labiyah and Dhi Qar. When he gained strength, he headed for Madinah where he stayed. Of his descendants are Aws

and Kharraj, sons of Hanthah bin Tha'labah.
Harithiah bin 'Ams, known as Khuza'ah, wandered with his offspring in Hijaz until they came to Marr Az-Zahran. Later, they conquered the Haram, and settled in Makkah after having driven away its people, the tribe of Jurhum.
Imran bin Amr and his family went to Oman where they established the tribe of And whose offspring inhabited Tihamah. and were known as Azd of Shanu'ah. Jainah bin Amr and his family. headed for Syria where he settled and initiated the langdom of Ghassan who was so named after a spring of water. In Haz. where they stopped on their way to Syria.
2. Lakhm and Judham: Of whom was Nasr bin Rabi'ah, founder of the Manadhirah Kings of Heerah.
3. Banu Tai's Who also emigrated nortliwands to settle by the so- called Aja and Salma Mountains which were accordingly named the Tal Mountains.
4. Kindah: Who dwelt in Bahrain but were expelled to Hadramout and Najd, they had no strength here as they had none in Bahrain and so they settled in Najd. There they had an important rulership although it did not last long, for the whole tribe soon faded away. Another tribe of Himyar, known as Quda'ah, also left Yemen and dwelt in the Samawah desert on the borders of Iraq
The Arabized Arabs go back in ancestry to their great-grandfather Ibrahim sa from a town called "Ar" near Kufah on the west bank of the Euphrates in Iraq. Excavations brought to light many details of the town. Ibrahim's family, and the prevalent religions and social circumstances.
It is known that Ibrahimsa left Ar for Harran and then for

INTRODUCING
ARABIC
Most of the texts available in English to teach Arabic language and grammar are either too difficult for the beginner in this field to follow due to the type of the Arabic script used as well as the complex terminologies employed by the authors or too basic to deal with important theories and laws.
This book presents some of the basic as well as advanced laws of Arabic in simple language and method. It is based on three celebrated classical sources; the Sharh Ibn Aqil by Ibn Aqil (698-769 A.H.), Awdah al-Masalik by Ibn Hisham an-Nahwi, and the Muqaddimah al-Ajrumiyyah by Ibn Ajrum (672-723 A.H.). Besides being the language of Islamic texts, Arabic is the key to understanding some of the world's greatest civilizations and intellectual histories. Copious data on "pre-colonial" African history as well as classical documents on medicine and philosophy which were later transmitted to the West are available in Arabic. The United Nations and other global agencies have also accepted it as an international language.
This book will benefit those who have just been initiated into this exciting field as well as those already at the advanced stage of their studies.

الكَلامُ العَرَبِيِّ : الاسمُ والفِعْلُ والحَرْفُ
The concept of speech in Arabic grammar: The Noun, The verb, and The Particle
The word
(al-kalām) in Arabic literally means "speech".
It is used by scholars of Arabic language to denote meaningful speech, or what they call
(al-kalam al-mufid). In
other words, if words come out of a person's mouth, they must make sense in order for them to be classified as kalām.
They go on to divide kalām into two categories:
1. Verbal speech
2. Non-verbal speech
-
الكلام اللفظي
الكلام غير اللفظي
So far the meaning of kalam we have discussed above is according to the scholars of Arabic linguistics and not according to the scholars of Arabic grammar. The Arabic grammarians have a very restricted meaning of kalām. According to them anything we call speech must fulfil four
conditions:
1 It must be verbal speech. This means that it must be based on Arabic alphabets and sounds, e.g. words such as S (a book), (a pen), (he is going). The reason for putting this condition is because Arabic grammar seeks to analyse words and how they are used in sentences, with a focus on the last letter in a word (or what is known as an
