The Arabic language, our mother language, is the language of connecting and communicating between grandparents and grandchildren, old and new, tradition and modernity. For this reasons, it must be given the importance it deserves. It must be cared for, loved with devotion, and looked after like a mother cares for her child, or as a farmer protects his field.
Language is not a goal, but a tool to transfer feelings and thoughts between people. Thus, it is not an object, but a living entity that evolves, just like thoughts and feelings change from generation to generation.
The Arabic language has the ability to adjust and develop because of its structure and multiple features such as carving, shaping, painting, and metaphor. What’s more, it has evolved and succeeded in fostering communication between people. It is a social agent that cannot be underestimated.
People who have the ability to influence their listeners are those that have mastered the skills of writing and speaking. To be an effective speaker or writer among people, one must learn how to develop good rhetoric expression models.
While we may take for granted that lingual creativity is a talent or gift from Allah, we cannot forget that training and culture are the indispensable basis for nurturing and promoting creativity. Therefore, we put this three-part educational book, “The Assistant in Writing and Essays,” into the hands of our dear readers, hoping to achieve this desired goal.

Understanding the importance of the curriculum in building the learner’s personality within aspects of human growth (physical, cognitive, emotional, and motor development), a thorough development process for the curriculum of the permanent Qur’anic centers took place.

Regarding the number of notes and remarks in teachers’ questionnaires, a curriculum development process became essential to encounter the need of a curriculum which sustains modern development, considers the circumstances our boys and girls are living in, regards their actual needs, and harmonizes with the goals system which the society tries to achieve.

The curriculum of the Permanent Qur’anic centers includes three levels for males and females. Each level is divided into two semesters. Most of the concentration is placed on the Holy Qur’an (tilawa, tafseer, hifth). The curriculum does not overlook the importance of the various Islamic studies but it contains a group of lessons that enrich the learners’ experiences in Islamic studies topics that concern them.
