Where grammar comes to life: Mudhaaf and Mudhaaf ilaihi

In today’s lesson, we learned about mudhaaf and mudhaaf ilaihi. Here is a beautiful example of a mudhaaf and mudhaaf ilaihi from Suratul Furqaan.

And as we saw in the lesson, we know that a mudhaaf and mudhaaf ilaihi are inseparable. So Allah is making Himself inseparable from these slaves by these wording. Subhaanallah! And especially those slaves that have the characteristics described by the end of that surah. (from ayahs 61 till the end) May Allah make us among ‘ibaadhurrahmaan. Ameen!

The Day of Judgement The house of Allah My car (Car of mine) Your pencil (Pencil of yours) Aisha’s notebook (Notebook of Aisha) We can’t put a full-stop at the end of these hence these are fragments, not sentences. All the above phrases have something in common. And that i
