W ritten by Soumy Ana Jamada II, 1425 / August 2004 The Arabic Alphabet http://www.ummah.net/islam/taqwapalace "The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr." Prophet Mohammed (saas) The Arabic script is derived from the Aramaic Nabataean alphabet. The Arabic alphabet is a script of 28 letters including long vowels. Short vowels are indicated by small diagonal strokes above or below letters. The letters are derived from only 17 distinct forms, distinguished one from another by a dot or dots placed above or below the letter. Since so much of the Muslim daily activity need the learning of Arabic or the Arabic script, it is logical to teach children basic useful Arabic words related to Islam early in life.

  • History of Writing
    History of Writing On present archaeological evidence, full writing appeared in Mesopotamia and Egypt around the same time, in the century or so before 3000 BC. It is probable that it started slightly earlier in Mesopotamia, given the date of the earliest proto-writing on clay tablets from Uruk, circa 3300 BC, and the much longer history of urban development in Mesopotamia compared to the Nile Valley of Egypt. However we cannot be sure about the date of the earliest known Egyptian historical inscription, a monumental slate palette of King Narmer, on which his name is written in two hieroglyphs showing a fish and a chisel. Narmer’s date is insecure, but probably falls in the period 3150 to 3050 BC. In China, full writing first appears on the so-called ‘oracle bones’ of the Shang civilization, found about a century ago at Anyang in north China, dated to 1200 BC. Many of their signs bear an undoubted resemblance to modern Chinese characters, and it is a fairly straightforward task for scholars to read them. However, there are much older signs on the pottery of the Yangshao culture, dating from 5000 to 4000 BC, which may conceivably be precursors of an older form of full Chinese writing, still to be discovered; many areas of China have yet to be archaeologically excavated. In Europe, the oldest full writing is the Linear A script found in Crete in 1900. Linear A dates from about 1750 BC. Although it is undeciphered, its signs closely resemble the somewhat younger, deciphered Linear B script, which is known to be full writing; Linear B was used to write an archaic form of the Greek language.

    Emmanuel DeWalt February 4, 2018 History of Graphic Design Prof. Marianna Trofimova Alphabet ​ In the latest lecture of class we discussed the different systems of the alphabet that was used long ago. There were a lot we discussed but three systems of the alphabet that we learned in particular were the Aramaic, Hebrews and Arabic alphabets. These three systems of the alphabet had there own unique way of displaying the way the letters were written and how they were used to explain what was going on at the time. At the same time these different systems of the alphabet also had some similarities to each other. The alphabet system has always been an interest of many people because of the letterforms and the way the letters were positioned. The Aramaic alphabet had a similar way the Phoenician alphabet was used but it started to break away from that style in the 8th century BCE. The Aramaic alphabet was used for Aramaic language and the letters all represent consonants, some of those letters were also used as matres lectionis to indicate long vowels. The Hebrew alphabet can be said to have certain similarities when compared to the Imperial Aramaic script that was used during the 5th century BC. The two alphabets both had the same letter inventory and similar shapes. The Aramaic alphabet was an ancestor to the Nabataean alphabet and the later Arabic alphabet. The Arabic alphabet is the Arabic script as it is codified for writing the Arabic language. It is written from right to left in a cursive style and includes 28 letters.

The Aramaic language has fewer consonants than Arabic, so during the 7th century new Arabic letters were created by adding dots to existing letters in order to avoid ambiguities.

The third title in the series that offers a primer for both general readers and students The Arabic alphabet has a fascinating history, one that is entwined with the development of culture and society in the Middle East. Short vowels, represented by a set of marks below or above the letters, aid in the pronunciation of a word—these are usually only written in the Qur'an, where correct recitation is important, and in texts for novice readers. Or, to take another example, "gh" is sometimes pronounced "f" enough and sometimes pronounced "g" ghost. Enlarge cover. In Arabic short vowels are generally not written. Most writing would have been on perishable materials, such as papyrus. This omission of short vowels can be very difficult in the beginning, because it's difficult to guess which short vowels exactly are missing.

  • Arabia and the Arabs
    ARABIA AND THE ARABS Long before Muhammad preached the religion of Islam, the inhabitants of his native Arabia had played an important role in world history as both merchants and warriors. Arabia and the Arabs provides the only up-to-date, one-volume survey of the region and its peoples from prehistory to the coming of Islam. Using a wide range of sources – inscriptions, poetry, histories and archaeological evidence – Robert Hoyland explores the main cultural areas of Arabia, from ancient Sheba in the south to the deserts and oases of the north. He then examines the major themes of: •the economy • society •religion •art, architecture and artefacts •language and literature •Arabhood and Arabisation. The volume is illustrated with more than fifty photographs, drawings and maps. Robert G. Hoyland has been a research fellow of St John’s College, Oxford since 1994. He is the author of Seeing Islam As Others Saw It and several articles on the history of the Middle East. He regularly conducts fieldwork in the region.

  • The History of Literature I
    The History Of Literature I September 23, 2020 Category: History Download as PDF The word “poet[ry]” is derived from the Greek “poieses”, which means the will to create / transform. When it comes to the Reactionary proprietors of institutionalized dogmatism, then, “poieses” is naturally seen as a dire threat. “Wisdom Literature” goes back to the 3rd millennium B.C. with both the Sumerians and Egyptians (see Stuart Weeks’ work on the topic). The authors of the Hebrew Bible openly recognize this fact in First Kings 5:10. In the 20th century B.C., the “Admonition Of [The Murdered] Pharaoh Amenemhat To His Son, Senusret” was composed in Egypt. When it comes to ancient epics, the record goes back to the Sumerian “Epic of Gilgamesh”, which dates back to the late 3rd millennium B.C. The Akkadian “Enuma Elish” dates back to the early 2nd millennium B.C. In the early 11th century B.C., the Egyptian “Story of Wenamun” (an epic composed in Hieratic) was composed. Poetry dates to c. 700 B.C., with the Greek epics of Homer and Hesiod. Homer’s “The Iliad” and “The Odyssey” are still considered classics to the present day. And the legacy of lyric poetry goes back to Alkman of Sparta in the 7th century B.C. The oldest anthology of poetry is the “Shi-jing” [Book of Songs; a.k.a. “Classic of Poetry”] from the Zhou period in China. It was an ongoing compilation of material that started in the 11th century B.C. and continued on through the 7th century B.C.
