Hadhiya (Blog post 9)

-
“I was too angry when I spoke that way.”
“I did not mean to do that I was just too stressed at the time.”
“I was just too tempted and that lead me to give in.”
These are some of the justifications that we tell others AND ourselves after we commit a sin. We tend to put the blame everything else except our own selves when we make a mistake. And a lot of times we tend to blame our own emotions that seem to be out of control. We use our own emotions as an excuse to not take full responsibility of our own wrong doings.

Allah swt in His incredible Quran, protects us from this behavior by the use of a specific word in this ayah of Suratul Isra.
إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤَادَ كُلُّ أُولَـٰئِكَ كَانَ عَنْهُ مَسْئُولًا
“…..no doubt the hearing, the sight and the heart, all of them are going to be questioned about.” Suratul Isra, 36
The word “fu’aadh’ in the ayah is translated as ‘heart’. But there are two words used in the Quran for the heart. One is ‘qalb’ and the other one is ‘fu’aadh’. The heart is normally called qalb in Arabic because the heart is something that keeps changing. The emotions in the heart don’t remain the same and it doesn’t stay still even physically. The heart is called ‘fuaadh’ when the heart is overwhelmed with one emotion. Fuaadh comes from the word ‘faadha’ which means food that is cooked under intense heat or fire. So fuaadh is literally a heart that is ‘fired up’. That can’t feel anything but one thing.

In the ayah, Allah says that even our ‘fuaadh’, our heart that is overwhelmed with one thing, be it anger, stress, temptations, is going to be questioned about. What we do as a result of even the most intense emotions are going to be questioned about. So as believers, we should try our very best to control our behavior even under the most intense emotions. And the only reason why Allah mentioned this, is because He swt made us capable of controlling them. Because He Knows that we can take full responsibility for our own actions.

See how the use of ONE WORD gives the ayah so much more meaning? And the sad thing is this cannot be seen in translation. Both fuaadh and qalb will be translated as heart in the translation. But Allah uses each word in each ayah for a specific purpose. Allah used Words in the Quran in a way that no one can exchange or add a word to make it more perfect or beautiful. That’s how the Quran is! <3

May Allah increase us in beneficial knowledge. Ameen!

Arabic Pronouns (dhameer)

-
Image
The chart above shows the pronouns of the Arabic language. Below each pronoun is its attached form (in purple). Pronouns can be seen independently or attached to a word. For example هُوَ which means ‘he  or it ’ can be attached to a word like كِتَابُ (which means book). To attach, we should look for the attached form of the pronoun. Attached form of هُوَ is هُ so we can say كِتَابُهُ and this would mean, ‘his book.’ Some pronouns have two attached forms. We choose the attached form for a pronoun depending on the harakah (fili) on the last letter of the word. For example if the word was كِتَابِ it will be very difficult and sounds weird to say كِتَابِهُ so the Arab says كِتَابِهِ and this would also mean ‘his book’. So the second form of an attached pronoun is only used when there is a kasra (ibifili) on the last letter. The pronoun ‘ana’ is an exceptional case. We can change the last harakah of the word to make the word end with an ‘ee’ sound. For example, if th

Harf of Nasb (English + Dhivehi)

-
حَرف نَصب إِنَّ                                   أَنَّ                              كَأَنَّ لَيْتَ                          لاَكِنَّ                  لَعَلَّ These are called Harf of Nasb. Their meanings are as follows: إِنَّ – For sure أَنَّ – that كَأَنَّ – as though لَيْتَ – if only لاَكِنَّ – however لَعَلَّ – so that/hopefully/maybe The word after harf of nasb must be a nasb. (must end with fathha, AANI sound or EENA sound – look up lessons on status) A harf of nasb doesn’t necessarily beat up the word next to it. There may be there words between harf of nasb and the word beaten up. Eg: إِنَّ اللّهَ إِنَّ is the harf nasb. The word اللّهَ is the ismu إِنَّ . Because the word became nasb due to إِنَّ . Eg 2: لاَكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ لاَكِنَّ is harf nasb. أَكْثَرَ is ismu لاَكِنَّ . Exercise: Identify the harf nasb and their isms in the given fragments. إِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ أَنَّ عَلَيْهِ الن

Mudhaaf-mudhaaf ilaihi and pronouns (English lesson)

Mudhaaf-mudhaaf ilaihi with pronouns Among the lessons related to pronouns, we had looked at the pronouns chart. Below is a picture to help you remember. The ‘attached’ forms are actually nasb or jarr versions of the pronouns. They are called ‘attached’ forms because they are always found attached to a word. Example:    رَسُوْلُهُ If you find هُ   or هِ you must know that it’s the attached form of هُوَ and can only be nasb or jarr status. Exercise 1: Identify and write the attached forms of the given pronouns by looking at the chart. (try and remember the attached forms without looking as much as you can In Sha Allah) Pronoun Attached form   (nasb/jarr version) هُوَ هُمَا هُمْ هِيَ هُنَّ أَنْتَ أَنْتُمَا أَنْتُمْ أَنْتِ أَنْتُنَّ أَنَا
