Alfiyah Ibn Malik , PDF, Arabic grammar, digital humanities, Islamic pedagogy, nahw 1. Introduction The Alfiyah of Ibn Malik (Jamal al-Din Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah, d. 1274 CE) is arguably the most famous didactic poem in Islamic history. Comprising 1,000 (or 1,002) bayts (verses), it systematically condenses the rules of Arabic syntax and morphology.
