[QUOTE=aloneaz;536171]Sir does this subject require good memory as well as the craming skills[/QUOTE]

Some sort of cramming is beneficial in this subject. You need to memorize/cram translation and answers of past paper mcqs. Similarly, you also need to memorize some short questions. But all this may guarantee you confirmed marks in both papers.

@usman khalid
sir, you attempted arabic in urdu or english?

English. Choice is usually given to opt the paper in either Urdu or English. One can get equally good marks by attempting in either of the languages.

[QUOTE=Tassawur;536065][B][I][COLOR="Sienna"]Dear brother the notes by Hafiz Arshad Sahb are widely used throughout Pakistan for the preparation of this subject. And they are known for their effectiveness. Besides these notes the book " Taareekh e Adab e Aarbi by Ahmad Hasaan Zayat " plays a great helping hand. I used those notes only and secured 140 marks in Arabic. However the book I mentioned should also be consulted. If some other helping material also is there that Usman Bhai can tell.

[B][I][COLOR="Sienna"]I prepared essay from notes of Hafiz Arshad Sahb. Most of the times either esaay comes about some personality like Iqbal or one is directed to write on the importance of Arabic Language. Therefore , prepared these two and made sense of the sentences in my mind as how they are constructed if different personality is there in essay or some other aspect of the Arabic Language is given to write on. In constructing the sentences in an essay , the sentence structures given in short question's answers play a pivotal role. In 2011's essay one had to write about Iqbal 's thought about western civilization. In this essay I used biographic sentences which I had already prepared from the previous essay on Iqbal from Hafiz Sahb 's notes. However , for writing about western civilization I created or fabricated Arabic then and there by remembering different sentences if the same nature which I had been reading during the preparation of short questions.
This is how I solved this riddle. [/COLOR][/I][/B]
