For example, suppose Lailatu-l Qadr is approaching. It would be opportune if one reviews Surah 97 and commit it to memory. When the season of pilgrimage comes, one could memorise a few of the verses relating to the pilgrimage. In this way, which I have tested and which proved successful in my case, one could gradually digest and understand the Qur'an and relate its content to one's daily life. For those who do not know how to read the Qur'an there is a practical way of learning.
Some educational institutions do offer courses in Arabic.
One should not hesitate to take such courses and benefit from them. Most of them are extremely useful for beginners, as well as for those who already know some Arabic. The universities which do not offer such courses should be requested by as many students on their campuses as possible to put such courses in their curricula or place the appropriate material in their Language Laboratories. The modern techniques of teaching languages which are utilized can make these Arabic courses enjoyable and very helpful. Modern life requires a degree of concern and respect for time.
