Abu Taher Misbah (Bengali: আবু তাহের মিসবাহ/মিছবাহ), also known as Adib Hujur, is a prominent Bangladeshi Deobandi Islamic scholar, educator, and writer born on March 6, 1956. His father's name is Misbahul Haque. Despite his ancestral roots in Cumilla, Misbah grew up in Dhaka and completed his Islamic education, culminating in a Master's degree from Al-Jamia Al-Islamia Patiya in 1977.
Misbah's career in education began at Jamia Islamia Darul Ulum Madania and included a 25-year tenure at Jamia Nuria Islamia. During this time, he initiated an educational reform movement through a handwritten Arabic magazine called "Iqra" and developed the influential Madani curriculum. In 1992, he founded Madrasatul Madina under the supervision of Abdul Hai Paharpuri.
His most significant contributions include authoring "Esho Arabi Shikhi," a primary textbook for Arabic learning in Bangladesh, and numerous other educational materials. Misbah's work has had a lasting impact on Islamic education and Arabic language instruction in Bangladesh, establishing him as a respected figure in both religious scholarship and Bengali literature.
Hands down the best book on learning Arabic, especially for Bengali-speaking people. If you can study the book with a teacher over a year or so, you'll definitely be able to speak, read and write Arabic with a fairly good level of proficiency. I did it myself and can so vouch for what I said about the book.
What's important though is, if you just read through the book while trying to understand it, you'll surely learn a lot, but the reading will be incomplete and thus serve you little purpose. You will not feel any mastery over the language. You won't be able to speak it and will still stumble reading texts written in Arabic. Therefore, in order to attain the mastery, you'll have to immerse in it, and the way to immerse in this book is to go to an Ustadh (teacher) who has studied the book in madrasa himself and will direct you as to how to practice the book. There's also an accompanying book called "At-Tamrin Al-Kitabi" (التمرين الكتابي علي الطريق إلي العربية ), which is basically the exercise book that you'll have to buy separately and practice along with the main book. Now again, you'll need a teacher to instruct you about how to go with the two books, the main book and the exercise book.
Continue this for a year, and you'll be well on your journey to learning Arabic and by then, you'll definitely have known how to pursue the rest of your journey. Don't go for learning Nahw and Sarf. Finish the book first and you can learn Nahw and Sarf in no time. I'm writing this with a hundred percent conviction having completed the book myself.
