(The) Alfiya of Ibn Malik (Arabic: ألفية ابن مالك) is a rhymed book of Arabic grammar written by Ibn Malik in the 13th century. The long title is al-Khulāsa al-alfiyya. According to the historian Al-Maqqari, Al-Alfiyya was written in imitation of Ibn Muti al-Zawawi's Al-Durra al-alfiya.[1] At least 43 commentaries have been written on this work, which was one of two major foundations of a beginner's education in Arab societies until the 20th century.
Along with the Ājurrumiya, the Alfiya was one of the first books to be memorized by students in religious schools after the Qur'an.[citation needed]
This book is still used in traditional Dars (Islamic Education system in Masjid) at south Indian state Kerala, as well as traditional Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia.[2][3]
