Dear readers may Allah bless you all, so this is an English class at At-Taqwa Boarding School of Sukoharjo. It uses Arabiya Baina Yadaik 1B as the handbook that I have translated into English with the hope that students who have already been familiar with Arabic, they will find it easier to learn the English one.
