Qatr al-Nada wa Ball as-Sada

Introduced to New Zealand by Mahabbah Books for the first time in Jan 2025

Drops of Dew and Wetting a Parched Throat 

This translation of Ibn Hisham's Qatr al-Nada is a milestone of Arabic scholarship in English. This short didactic work is not merely a text of Arabic Grammar by a major imam of the late Arabic school, it is also an insight on how to think like a grammarian. 

The books title literally means 'Drops of Dew and Wetting a Parched Throat'. Intended as a simple book for beginners, modern students of Arabic will find it to be intermediate-level at the least.
