Abstract:
Al-Quran is the most sacred scripture of Muslims. Muslims begin to understand it’s meaning from their childhood.
In the Muslim community, Al-Quran Madrasas play an essential role in the teaching of recitation of the Qur'an.
There was a tendency among the early Muslims not to deal with languages other than Arabic when reciting the
Qur'an as a divine scripture. Therefore, “Arabic Tamil” was used by them as an alternative. “Arabic-Tamil” means
a type of Tamil language written in Arabic script. it was used by the Muslims of Sri Lanka and Tamil Nadu. The
popular Muslim scholar O.M. Passi Aalim from Sammanthurai, East Sri Lanka has taught Arabic language for
beginners through his book of 'Thadreesul Quran'. This study explains the significance of Al-Quran teaching and the
role of Arabic Tamil in the teaching the Arabic language. To achieve objectives of study, the researcher used the
descriptive and analytical approach to complete it and to reach the results. This is also revealed through the book of
'Thadreesul Quran” written by O.M.Passi Aalim.
