The first edition of the Arabic Grammar book series for the three stages (Primary,
Intermediate, and Secondary) was authored and printed in a hurried manner due to urgent need, which led
to the occurrence of some typographical errors. All necessary measures will be taken to avoid these errors
in the next edition of this series. We hope that teachers and instructors will audit these books
and request students to correct the errors they notice in them.
