Hiyaa (Part 7) - English blog post

-



When we decide to give up something for the sake of Allah, often our hearts are filled with fear. The fear of losing something we love. The fear of giving up something that was once a huge part of our lives. The fear of not knowing whether we would be able to bear the pain that will come with the loss.

And when we do give up that thing or the behavior that we desired so much, we do feel the pain. We do feel the hurt. We do feel the restlessness. But Wallaahi all of this, is so that we can feel the healing that Allah Will grant us if we persevere through it.

It is then that we realize that Allah is in fact the One Who Loves us the most. That it is He Who Will be there for us even when no one is. That it is He Who has the power to turn even the most painful moments into blissful ones with the sweetness of faith.

And then you’ll realize how true the ayah below is.

“…And whoever believes in Allah, He Will guide his heart.” Surah Taghabun, 11

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 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
