Watch the Introduction VideoI grew up in India, primarily in a secular environment. Alhamdulillah, once I recognized Islam as the true faith, I aimed to deepen my understanding and practice. To grasp the Quran, I realized I needed to learn Arabic. I spent four to five years trying different resources like books, CDs, and community courses, but they didn't prove effective. This was before the era of Google and YouTube.
In 2003, my prayers were answered when I began private Arabic lessons with teachers from Egypt. For the next five to six years, I devoted all my time and effort to learning the language, including conversation and tajweed.
Eventually, a few friends requested that I teach them what I had learned, which led me to begin teaching in 2010. On a side note, I speak about seven languages.
“After studying with Ustadh Abu Yusuf and doing the program, Alhamdulillah I feel strong enough in my understanding of Arabic to be able to read and understand the Qur'an as well as most Arabic texts. I feel confident applying to the 2nd year of many institutions. To be able to study Arabic with a full school or work schedule and still reach the level of dedicated scholars is a true blessing. I highly recommend the course.”
“My name is Adib Baji and I am one of the 'alumni' of Br.Chand's Arabic Through Stories class. We started in 2014 and over the course of 7 years we went over several stories, surahs, and hadiths to help us break down the meanings of individual sentences, phrases, words, and sometimes even individual letters. With a heavy focus on grammatical structure, we were taught to be able to analyze sentence composition and word patterns on command. Due to this, despite my personally weak vocabulary, I was still able to grasp the meaning of the majority of sentences. Inshallah may future students have even greater success under Br.Chand's guidance (especially after using us as guinea pigs 😆)”
“Alhamdulillah I started learning Arabic with Ustadh Chand in 2014. I appreciated the dedication he had to the class. I saw him make some homemade Arabic work books for us. I also appreciated how after COVID, we still continued the classes online. There was always a good amount of homework that reinforced what we had learned in the class. Once we got into the more advanced classes, we read Surah Baqarah together and I was amazed at how much I understood without an English translation. This Arabic class is convenient for all: high school or college students, young professionals, and stay-at-home or working parents. Ustadh Chand himself is very accommodating, knowledgeable, and passionate about the subject matter.”
“Alhamdulillah, I am delighted to provide this testimonial for Ustad Chand, who has been an exceptional Arabic language instructor. Under his guidance, I have not only gained a comprehensive understanding of Arabic grammar but have also developed a profound appreciation for the language's intricacies and nuances. Masha Allah, his methodology to teach with the sounds of Arabic Sarf, the grammar and the encouragement and motivation are exceptional. Ustad Chand possesses a rare combination of expertise, patience, and passion for teaching, which has made every lesson engaging and enlightening. His dedication to ensuring that every student grasps the material is truly commendable. Whether it's elucidating complex grammar rules or refining pronunciation, Bro Chand employs innovative teaching methods that cater to individual learning styles, making the learning process both effective and enjoyable. Moreover, Masha Allah, Ustad Chand goes above and beyond by providing additional resources, offering constructive feedback, and fostering a supportive learning environment. His unwavering commitment to his students' success is evident in the progress I've made under his tutelage. Alhamdulillah, by the help of Allah and through Bro Chand’s teachings, I am able to comprehend the Qur'an—the ultimate purpose of learning the language. I now feel confident in my ability to communicate effectively in Arabic, both verbally and in writing. I wholeheartedly recommend Ustad Chand as an Arabic language instructor.”
“We attended the Arabic course conducted by Br.Chand together as a family. The course provided us an opportunity to get closer to the nuances of the Arabic language and the preciseness and elegance of Arabic grammar. Our understanding of the Qur'an after this course has helped us establish an ongoing relationship with the Quran. The course allowed us to have live interactions with Br.Chand, whose deep knowledge of the language was invaluable in getting grounded in its richness. The experience has been a cornerstone in establishing our grasp of the language. Thank you for being so patient and encouraging throughout our learning journey.”
“I was really amazed that Ustadh Abu Yusuf was able to combine both speaking and understanding in a single course, compared to other courses that only focus on one or the other.”
