A Gentle Introduction to Arabic Writing
The Safar Learn Arabic Series begins with the Arabic Handwriting Book, designed to strengthen children’s familiarity with elementary Arabic penmanship by teaching them to write letters and words clearly.
The book also serves as an aid to the Safar Qāʿidah, helping students become more confident in recognising and writing the Arabic script. As students practise writing letters and words, they develop a stronger familiarity with the script, which helps them read the Qāʿidah more fluently.
Supporting Reading Through Writing
Writing Arabic helps students become comfortable with the shapes and flow of the script. As learners practise forming letters by hand, they strengthen their ability to recognise the same letters while reading.
For this reason, the Arabic Handwriting Book works alongside the Safar Qāʿidah, supporting both writing ability and reading fluency.
Structured Writing Practice
The Arabic Handwriting Book introduces writing in a gradual and supportive way so young learners can build confidence step by step.
Tracing Shapes
Students begin with lines and patterns to develop pencil control and prepare their hands for writing Arabic letters.
Letter Formation
Each letter is introduced with clear visual guidance to help students learn the correct way to write it.
Letter Linking Exercises
Students practise joining letters and recognising how Arabic writing flows across a word.
Alif to Yāʾ of Little Reminders
A unique feature of the book is the Alif to Yāʾ of Little Reminders.
As students learn each letter, teachers are encouraged to introduce an Arabic word beginning with that letter. For example, when teaching Alif, the word Īmān may be introduced so students learn both the letter and an important concept related to faith.
Teachers may also share short reminders or stories that inspire students and strengthen their understanding.
Progress Tracking and Practice
The book includes free practice pages to give students additional space for writing.
At the end of each page, pass stars allow teachers to mark completion using stamps, stickers or a duʿāʾ and date. These can also be used within reward systems to motivate and celebrate student progress.
What Parents, Teachers & Students Are Saying
This is an excellent book. I find it really interesting and helpful with diagrams, notes and beautiful illustrations MashaaAllah. My kids and myself enjoy reading it. It doesn’t look like the boring old written text pages to pages book. Simple and straight to the point.

An excellent book, covering a wide variety of topics in depth. Topics are well explained, designed and thought through. I always recommend this book to not only children but many adults also. I personally have benefited greatly. Children are always keen on learning more and is quite appealing to their level.
