The book Ma’āni al-Abniah fi al-Arabiah (‘Meanings of Structures in Arabic’) is a valuable work by Fādil Sālih Sāmarrā’i, where he explains the meanings of structures and different conjugates proceeding with his innovative project involving a semantic approach to morphology and syntax. He argues that any change in a structure or conjugate leads to a change in its meaning, and consideration of the diversity of these meanings increases the importance of Arabic and the rhetoric contained in the Holy Quran. In this book, Sāmarrā’i has adopted a semantic approach to investigate the issues concerning nouns and verbs, infinitives, adverbs of time and place, present participles, past participles, constant adjectives, instruments, different types of plural, and relative nouns. With a descriptive content-analytical method, this research attempts first to address the role of Fādil Sālih Sāmarrā’i in the innovation of morphology and his emphasis on the relationship between morphological structures and their meanings and then to scientifically analyze his success in that regard and the most significant advantages and imperfections of Ma’āni al-Abniah fi al-Arabiah with a critical review of the book.

Learning Arabic language in order to understand the glorious Quran is necessary for each Muslim.Regarding learning Arabic language, many books have been written in the past and present.One of the books written about teaching Arabic language (morphology and syntax) is Mobādi al-Arabiyah (Principles of Learning Arabic Language) authored by Rashid Shertouni, This book has been compiled in 4 volumes, for 4 levels; and has been taught in university for many years. Since the author of the book is Christian, the examples and exercises of the book are not based on the Islamic teachings. So the editor, Mr Hamid Mohammadi, has changed its exercises and used the verses of Quran and Hadith in writing them.This article is a review on the book Mobādi al-Arabiyah (Vol.2, edited by Hamid Mohammadi, 24th edition: 1424AH) in which some of the defects of the book have been mentioned.
