Al-Ajrumiyyah by Ibn Ajrum (672-723 A.H.). One of the most celebrated classical Arabic grammar book.

The Arabs themselves had long before initiated a formal and systematic methodology to teach Arabic grammar to their children. From the systems the Arabs employed one text in particular shines far more clearly than any other, it has withstood the test of time and is still after more than seven hundred years since its authors’ death, being taught throughout the Arab world. It is the text of Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Dau’d as-Sinhaji, known as Ibn Ajrum.

The text itself although not named as such by the author, has become known as ‘al-Ajarrumiyyah. It is the quintessence of Arabic grammar, its status is largely unchallenged as an excellent introduction to this first field of learning, which every scholar must master before delving into other Arabic literature. We find much attention has been paid to it amongst Arab scholars over a considerable period of time.

Mutammimah Al-Ajrumiyah is a complement to Matn Ajurumiyah, thus the Kawakib ad Duriyah Book is usually read after the book Syarah Matn Ujrumiiyah.
