Islamic Studies / Arabic Linguistics Abstract Matan Alfiyah Ibnu Malik (The Alifiyya of Ibn Malik) is a seminal 13th-century poetic compendium of Arabic grammar ( nahw ) and morphology ( sarf ). For centuries, its transmission relied on oral recitation ( sama’i ) and hand-copied manuscripts. The advent of the PDF (Portable Document Format) has revolutionized access to this text, enabling global, instantaneous dissemination. This paper examines the transition of the Alfiyah from a manuscript-based, teacher-dependent learning tool to a widely available digital resource. It analyzes the benefits (accessibility, preservation, searchability) and drawbacks (loss of ijazah certification, variable text accuracy, diminished pedagogical structure) of PDF versions. The paper concludes that while PDFs democratize access to Ibn Malik’s work, they must be integrated with traditional methods for authentic mastery of Arabic grammar. matan alfiyah ibnu malik pdf
