*First post to describe a linguistic beauty of an ayah* Bismillah!

وَلَقَدْ يَسَّرْنَا الْقُرْآنَ لِلذِّكْرِ فَهَلْ مِن مُّدَّكِرٍ
“And We have certainly made the Quran easy for remembrance. So is there anyone who will make an effort to remember?” Suratul Qamar

The actual word for ‘making an effort to remember’ is  مُتَذَكِّر (Muthazakkir). This word means to make a LOT of effort to remember. And in Arabic, there is a rule that says that we can make the letters of a word less, in order to make it mean lesser. So for مُتَذَكِّر we can fuse the ت and ذ and say مُذَّكِر (Muzzakir). So مُذَّكِر would mean to make a little less effort. To make even this word mean less, we can make the middle letter light. The letter د has a lighter sound than ذ so we can say مُدَّكِر (Mudhdhakir). And this last word is the word that Allah uses in the ayah above. He swt used the lightest version of the word. As though He is saying that He will make the Quran easy to remember even for those who make the TINIEST of effort to remember Him. Subhaanallah!

May Allah make us of those who make the effort to remember Him. 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
