Guidance from Quran

Where grammar comes to life: How many times do we feel like Allah will not forgive us when we commit a sin? How many times do we feel that Allah will no longer love us because of that sin? And no matter how many times someone tells you not to lose hope, you still doubt whether or not Allah Will forgive you. You feel that Allah will not love you no matter how many good deeds you do. If you feel this way, look at the words below. فَمَن تَابَ مِن بَعْدِ ظُلْمِهِ وَأَصْلَحَ فَإِنَّ اللَّـهَ يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِ ۗ إِنَّ اللَّـهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ “But whoever repents after his wrongdoing and reforms, indeed, Allah will turn to him in forgiveness. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” Harf إِنَّ from among the harf nasb is a harf used to remove all doubt. And Allah uses this harf twice in this ayah. The first time to say that He, WITHOUT A DOUBT, turns towards the one who repents and corrects his behavior. The second time before He mentioned that He is NO DOUBT the Forgiving

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
