as to leave no doubt to what was implied‘. Especially an emotion or a feeling. Also refers to
particular people known as the Arabs.
Quran‘nan Ar‘abiyan – A recital that makes it crystal clear, that leaves no doubt as to what was
implied.
Quran – recital
Arabiya – to make something crystal clear.
It doesn‘t mean an Arabic Quran; because you recited Arabic in Englishsized form.
The scholars of Tawheed have proven that every mistake from every one of these deviant
groups, they first deviated from making mistake in the Arabic language. Linguistic mistake was
their first mistake.
Everybody has sounds that come of their tongue, (except animals who‘s sounds come of their
throat).
Share same sounds, but meanings are different. An example would be the word ‗wow‘, in
English it means surprised/amazement but in the language of alaf, a (Senegalese language) it
means ‗yes‘. Pronounced the same exact way, but meaning differs because of the people share
same sound, different meaning.
Quran, authentic Hadith of the Prophet (first 2 proofs that have preserved the Arabic
language)
Then Poetry (prior to Islam), Educated writers amongst the Arabs who preserved the Arabic
language. These are the proofs if someone asks why you say a certain word is said this
way,answer would be because it was imitated this way passed down this way.
Reason why poetry prior to Islam is because Arabs before Islam, best thing they had was their
poetry, they would take their poetry and compete with the other Arabs, and best one would be
hung up on the Kabbah, Mu‘alaqat. 7 of the poems stayed up until Islam came, these are called
the seven hanging poems.
We call this Naqlan – meaning we got this passed down from father to son.
Nahw and Sarf are the two important one‘s amongst the 13.
- Nahw – Grammar
- Sarf – Etymology (ology- study of)
Nahw – Grammar
Grammar is the science through which we can understand and learn the changes that a word
goes through based on the placement in a sentence, and the changes at the end of the word.
Each time you place a sentence differently, the word will mean something different. This is
grammar based on changes in word.
Sarf – Etymology
Sarf – Pronounced like the word ‗Saw‘ that‘s the sound ‗sarf‘ mouth open not the سseen type of
saw.
Sarf means to give change, to break something down. Literally means to give change, as a
terminology it is a science through which we understand the shape and change of a word before
entering it into a sentence. The meaning of a word in of itself before we enter it into a sentence.
There 35 shapes/scales of Arabic verb, each shape has its own individual meaning.
Arabic has 2 things, the meaning of the word as a shape, and then it has the root meaning of
the word.
Example the word ملسمMuslim, mo‘o in front of a word, whenever you have it means one who
posses the qualities of the rest of the word, another example the word Munafiq.
If we change the word and say Islam, this is another change in the word, put Alif with Kasra,
which than means who who submits. Same way we have Muhlis, means one who is sincere.
Word for sincere is Ikhlaas, which is the same exact shape. There are 35 of these in the Arabic
language.
Harf - Letter and connectors (any word that points to a meaning in another word)
a)Letters in the Arabic language – alif, baa, jaa, daa
b) Connectors – Any word that points to a meaning, in another word and it‘s not connected to a
timeframe.
Example the word ‗under‘, under is a word that points to a meaning in something else, by itself it
won‘t have any meaning. Under what?, other words in, from, above, to.
These are connectors without which you can‘t make a sentence sound good. In Arabic you have
similar words, min, waa.
They don‘t have a meaning in of itself. And it‘s not connected to a timeframe.
c)Letters with extra meaning, these are letters like the word Alif by itself is a Question, it means
any sentence that has now been changed into a question that can only be answered by yes or
no. In English we would say a‘a and it would mean as,in,ae.
Example I went to the store, to change to question you would say did you go to the store?
In Quran Allah say‘s Ra‘ayta meaning you saw, to turn this into a question you
would say A‘ra‘ayta. It's now Turned into a question.
Other examples would be with letter Mo‘o, mushrik,munafiq,mushrik. Mo‘o before a word means
who who posses.
Is a word that points to a meaning, in and of itself and is connected to one of three time frames.
Either immediate, either past, or present/future.
Third type is Ismun – super-noun – It‘s a person/place/thing and also includes a description/adjective.
It is a word that points to a meaning, in and of itself (the word has it‘s own meaning) and connected to
one of three time frames:
This is an order; an order denotes immediacy, unless a condition is put there. Any time you find an order
in the Quran or the Sunnah it denotes immediacy.
Reason why it‘s present/future is because were in present tense now, and as were staying in the present
were going into the future tense.
In Arabic we can‘t translate Ismun as a Noun, because it‘s not a noun. Example the word pretty in English
it is an adjective, in Arabic it will be an Ismun there is no other section for it to go under. All the adjectives
are Ismun.
An Ismun is a word that points to a meaning, in and of itself (means the word has it‘s own meaning) and
is not connected to a time frame.
Example the word Masjid – It is word that points to a meaning in and of itself (the word has it‘s own
meaning) and is not connected to a timeframe.
Eesaa – Is a word that points to meaning in and of itself, and is not connected to a timeframe.
New York, Airplane, beautiful – these are all Ismun words in Arabic language that have meanings in itself
and are not connected to a timeframe.
Ismun is the strongest out of the 3, you can‘t make a sentence from a Harf. Example you can not say
under, or in, from, around, behind, their words of Harf but they‘re not Kalam (speech).
You also can not make a sentence with just a Filun, example running; sat, standing they have no
meaning by itself, you need an Ismun.
But an Ismun in Arabic doesn‘t need a Filun, and it doesn‘t need a Harf. Because you can make a
sentence
As‘samao is a word that points to meaning in itself and is not connected to a timeframe, and so is
Mobeen
Both words are Ismun... Two Ismuns but you still have a full sentence. This is why Ismun is most powerful
out of the 3.
And if we do Sarf of the word Ismun we find that Ismun is from Sumuyi‘ha, from it‘s loftiness because it
comes from the word Sky.
In‘na – Is a word, means emphasis, emphasis the point. When put before a sentence it makes that
sentence a verifiable fact.
Al – Means the
Also a Spanish word came from originally Arabic. From Muslim rule in Spain for over 800 yrs.
Kalam – means speech, from the word Kalimah, which literally means A sound that you spit off your
tongue that posses a meaning. Important part is it‘s off your tongue. Reason being because animals
make sounds through their throat, it‘s not speech, speech is off the tongue. Only the humans and Jinn
use their tongue.
Ind‘ana – Means according to us. Us here are the scholars of grammar not going to talk about what
anybody else what they define speech as only going to talk about what scholars of grammar say. And it
surrounds 3 words: Ismun, Filun, and Harf.
It will be translated as ‗if you want to know what speech is according to us ‗people of grammar ‗fa‘ than.
Latasme‘e - The laam here is called laam amr, it means an order so it means let them.
Istam‘e‘e - The ta here in front of the word means ‗you‘, rest of word is istima‘a.
The Ista‘a in front of a word means to seek something, like when we astaghfirullah. Seeking forgivness.
And the rest of word sama‘aya, seen, meem, ayn means to hear. When you change it to ista‘mee; seek to
hear, it means to listen. So let him listen, meaning let him pay attention.
If you want to know Kalam (speech) is according to ‗us‘ the scholars of grammar than listen up.
a) Harf - Letters
I‘ll have my say with you today concerning orthographic. Description of their numerals, points of
articulation as each one comes and as it does it has it‘s own sensation.
We start of ‗with‘
The Shaykh then say‘s I‘ll have my say with you today concerning orthographics.
Ortho – from mouth
Graphics – images/visual
Orthogrpahics represents the visual images that come out from sound of your mouth. – talking about the
alphabet.
The letters are a visual image, of the sounds that come out your mouth.
For a language to be totally orthographic there has to be a visual image representing every constant
sound of that language.
There are two types of sounds in every language. There‘s a constant sound, and there‘s a vowel sound.
In Arabic you have a graphine, you have a letter. E.g ba‘a , and then you have a vowel sound, a‘a. You
put it together you have a sound ba‘a
Description of their numerals, their points of articulation (Arabic words have 2 points of articulation. First
point is the Mahraj, Mahraj is the point where it exits the way you say that letter. However outside of it‘s
Mahraj we have the Tajweed rule – the Tajweed rule is based on noon when its mixed with other letters
you don‘t say the noon. Example the word ar-rahman, there‘s laam in there but we don‘t say it.
As each one comes and as it does each has its own sensation – the sensation of hearing the proper
pronunciation, we have to learn to pronounce it properly in order for it to have the right effect it‘s
supposed to have.
Description of the letter- description also determines how it looks when you write it.
How to pronounce it.
The numerals of the letter (Every Arabic letter has a numeric value).

order.
Present/Future: Walking
From this example we know it‘s a Filun because it can do these three things
Any word that points to a meaning, in another word and it‘s not connected to a timeframe.
In, to, from, with, under. In Arabic it‘s min, ilah, wa‘an, wa‘fee, wa‘rub‘ba.
The difference is Filun is an action word; a word that points to a meaning in and of itself, and it‘s
connected to a timeframe, whereas Harf is a word that points to a meaning, in another word and it‘s not
connected to a timeframe.
The technical meaning is: A sound that is spit of the tongue that posses a meaning. This excludes
animals because their sounds come from their throat.
Speech is not mufeed until the listen is not waiting for more to understand what was translated to him.
Means when the listener hears that word he‘s not waiting for anything extra to understand what that word
means, he doesn‘t need anything else. So in and of itself you understand that word.
Like the word hand, you do not need another word to understand what the objective is when speaker
say‘s hand.
However Harf is a word that points to a meaning in another word, meaning it has no meaning of itself.
Example the words to, from, under.
If you want to know Kalam (speech) is according to the scholars of grammar than listen and pay attention.
ل فظ مرك ب م ف يد ق د و ضع
Laf‘thun muraqa‘bun mufeedun, ka‘ad wo‘de
It is Lafzun, it is a sound that you spit off your tongue that has a meaning,
The rest of the definition Muraqab, Mufeed, Qad Wo‘dee are the descriptions (adjectives) of what type of
lafzth it is.
It is a sound that is muraqab, muraqab is from the word بكرra-qi-ba. This means to ride something.
Mo‘o before the word means ‗one who posses the qualities of the rest of the word that follows‘ e.g
muslim, munafiq, muhlis.
Example the word Ali‘ma – it means to know/he knew, if the word is strengthened to Al‘lama it will now
mean ‗he made known.‘
Add مmeem before it, becomes Mu‘alim. The teacher, one who makes It known.This is how you
strengthen a word, you add the sha‘da it strengthens the meaning
Muraqa‘bun – Means 2 words or more, one word in itself won‘t make any sense.
ل فظ مرك ب
It is a sound that you spit off your tongue that it compounded with 2 words or more.
– م ف يدMuf‘feed (beneficial)
Beneficial - means listener is not waiting to hear more.
Example of فظ مرك ب ( لSound spit of tounge, and contains 2 words or more that is not – م ف يد
Muf‘feed (beneficial)
Not Mufeed because the listener is still waiting for more to understand the objective of the speaker.
Example of مرك ب ( ل فظSound spit of tounge, and contains 2 words or more that is – م ف يدMuf‘feed
(beneficial)
‘’If the Imam comes we pray’’
Because the listener is not waiting for more to understand the objective of the speaker.
ق د و ضع
Ka‘ad wo‘dee – kad corresponds directly to the word ‗already‘ in English language, that before all this it is
wo‘dee, wo‘dee had 2 meanings. Literally it means placed. As terminology it has 2 meanings that do not
oppose each other, first one means intended, 2nd one accordance to rules of Arabic grammar. So if you
speak in Bengali, English, or urdu according to ‗us‘ scholars of grammar it is not speech. It is only speech
if we talk in Arabic and it has to be intended:
Full Definition :

Review:
The fact of the matter is that Kalam, speech, according to the scholars of grammar, is…. so listen
carefully…
ل فظ مرك ب م ف يد ق د و ضع
(Laf‘thun muraqa‘bun mufeedun, ka‘ad wo‘de)
It is a sound that is spit of the tip of the tongue, a verbalization consisting of two words or more, it must
benefit the listener to the point that he is no longer in need of more words, In order to understand the
objective of the speaker. At the same time it must conform to the rules of Arabic grammar as well as
being intended.
If any portion of this definition is not present then you do not have ‗Kalam‘ (speech).
ابجر
This is called Abu‘Jaad or Ab‘Jad
In it you have the first 3 letters of the Arabic alphabet. Alif,Baa,Jeem,Da‘al. This is the original way of the
Arabic Alphabet
The Arabic alphabet letters come in words of a story of 6 Kings, their names were:
Abu‘Jad
Hawaz
Ha‘tee or Hut‘ee
Kalmoon or Kalman
Sa‘faas
Qoo‘rishat.
These were the 6 kings and they were oppressors. This story can be found in the book ‗Al Fihrist‘. Their
names were used to establish the alphabet.
This is not from a Hadith, it is an ancient fabal on how the Arabic language started, but it is the only
established method which the alphabet in any language has started worldwide.
'Al Fihris' means a table of contents, or a compilation of all the Arabic source literature before the advent
of the Christian and Greeks philosophy was added into Arabic Literature. They wanted to preserve it to
stop it from getting mixed up, from amongst it was the story of the Arabic alphabet.
Alif – also called the stubborn letter because it doesn‘t join/connect to another letter.Example the
word ب ا
The Alif doesn‘t connect to other words, but it allows words to be connected before it, but not after it.
That‘s why its stubborn letter it won‘t go to any other letter.
When you look in the Quran, you will find not (except very rarely) the Alif come except after a Fatha.
Or the Alif will come at the end of a word and it will have a small mark over it, a small circle. It‘s there to
let you know if word has ended, it‘s called Alif Fariqah.
The Alif is there just to let you know that the word has ended.
Along with Alif comes another letter, but it‘s attached to Alif. For example when you say Alif, you mean
Hamza and you also mean Alif.
But when you say Hamza, you mean Hamza & Hamza (2 types of Hamza‘s.)
One is called Hamza Waslee, and the other one is called Hamza Qat -ee.
Hamza Waslee joins the previous vowel sound to the next constant sound. For example سر و ال ع
The sign on the Alif joins the Wa‘a to the Laam.
But when you have this word ل سا Sa‘a‘la. It‘s not joining because the sign on the Alif it cuts and makes
its own sound.
Or if you have the word من موMu‘min, the Hamza on the W‘a‘a it cuts in and makes it‘s own sound.
‗Alif is the first of signs it‘s mahraj hard to find‘
A Mahraj is from the meem haa-ra-ja. Meem in front of the word means a place, example Masjid – a palce
of sajdah.
In English we have a word that get‘s it meaning from same word Haraj, it‘s called خر ا ج
Garage, a place that you exit out of.. Likewise the Mahraj the place that we leave that sound, a place of
enunciation, that place is in our mouth some place.
- First type is one where you can put your finger on other on it. Like ba‘a, or I‘b‘b the Mahraj is coming
from the two lips.
You can not put your finger on the Mahraj, example the word A‘a, e‘e‘ o‘o, sound is coming from deep
inside your mouth somewhere from the bottom. That‘s why it‘s Mahraj is hard to find.
There are two types of Mahraj, one where you can put your finger on, other one you cannot. Alif has one
where you cannot put your finger on it.
‗And deep inside my mouth I find a Hamza lives inside‘
Means when you referring you Alif, also referring to Hamza, deep inside mouth because the sound of
Hamza comes from deep inside.
Each letter has a Tajweed rule, Tajweed rule for Alif is Ith‘dhar.
Alif is loud and strong, the letter a‘a say it with strength.
While at the same time low, what it means when it say‘s low, your tongue has to be flat in your mouth.
The Alif comes along with madd, jus following a fath. Or shows up at the ends of words right before they
crash separates and demarcates to help the reader past. (this is the Alif fariqa)
While Hamza as it seems to be as tad moor of a shayr (explanation), it rides upon the alif, waw, and even
ya.
Examples:
Every Arabic letter has a numeric value, numeric value of Alif is one.
These are all the description of Alif, these are the terminologies in Arabic.
Shida‘tun – strength
Jahrun – Loudness
Samtun – Restraint
Istifa‘al – tongue low
Fathun – Open mouth wide
ال م ع ند ن ا ف ل ت س تمعان ا ل ك

How to pronounce it:
Jahrun (loud) and shiddah (strong), two sifaat (characteristic) shared by baa
Like istifaal (low) and infitaah (open like a door) it's numeral ithnaan (2)
When baa the letter shows up right after noon:
Saakinah*1 or tanweena*2 Iqlaabun*3 is the rule.
With dhalaqun*4 - fly off the lips, It's makhraj is the same
With qalqala*5 resounding loud, the baa blurts out its name.
*1 Noon is saakin when there's no vowel sound, the noon saakinah is a written noon
*3 When the baa is followed up right after a noon, the sound of meem comes in but the meem isn't
pronounced clearly until you get to the baa. (watch the video for better explanation)
*5 like zalzala (any word in Arabic that has a four letter root) is a sound word, meaning it's a beating
sound that has a meaning attached to the sound. The sound repeats itself. Resounding.
Qalqala letters: qaff ()ق, ba ()ب, taw ()ط, jeem ()ج, and dal ()د.
The mnemonic to remember them is ―qutb jadd‖ ()قطب د. Qutb means ―pole‖, jadd means ―grandfather‖.
Grandfather pole…
Some letters are easy to do qalqala on — even qaris (reciters) make mistakes on them! Learn them and
avoid them. (To stop yourself from doing a qalala on a letter, simply stop on the letter.)
Common qalala mistakes: ‗ayn ()ع, daad ()ض, ta ()ت, and kaf ()ك

Review:
Alif: Tajweed rule for alif is idhar. Alif is a general term for alif and hamza, and there are two types of
hamza: Hamzatul wasli (which joins) and hamzatul qat-ee (which cuts). Numeric value is 1. Alif comes
with madd and fath.
There types of word: F'ilun, Ismun and Harf. Harf is of three parts; basic letters, letters with meaning and
connectors.
Baa:
Jahrun (loud) and shiddah (strong), two sifaat (characteristic) shared by baa
Like istifaal (low) and infitaah (open like a door) it's numeral ithnaan (2)
When baa the letter shows up right after noon:
Saakinah or tanweena Iqlaabun is the rule.
With dhalaqun - fly off the lips, It's makhraj is the same
With qalqala resounding loud, the baa blurts out its name.
Baa's numeric value is 2, it's sifaat is jahrun and shidda. Tajweed rule is qalqala as well as a sifaat. When
it (baa) shows up after a noon saakinah (written noon that has no vowel sound written over it) or tanween
(dhamataan, fathataan and khrasrataan - the sound of a noon) the tajweed rule is iqlaabun. Dhalaqun is
another sifaat which means it flies off the lips, in turn that is its makhraj - it blurts out its name.
Jeem:
Qalqala, samtun, fathun, shidda and jahrun - these are the sifaat of the letter jeem.
The above are the sifaat, which is why he says the jeemun has BEGAN. The next thing is the makhraj.
The jeem is pronounced by the wetness of the middle of the tongue reaching the top and then it has to be
removed so the sound comes out. "Then raise it up" The sound comes through separation of the tongue
from the top of the mouth. "enunciate" which is the samtun. "the quantitative meausure" = the amount, the
numeric value for the "ikhfaa" (which is its tajweed rule) 3. 1x3 = 3.
****************************
The first thing he says is ىضفخلwhich means something low, the opposite high. As a terminology it is a
khasra or anything in place of a khasra. Nahw is the change of a word after it's entered into a word and
the last radical and its changes. A dhamma has a particular reason for being at the end of a word. Fathah
has a particular reason for being there as well as a kharsa has its own reason but the reasons are not the
same. If there is a word has a dhamma on it then with specification we understand what the word means
literally and as a grammatical statement. The asl = the fundamental is dhamma if a word has this the
word is correct if it does not then there has to be a reason for the change. ىضفخلis pointing to the
kharsa, it is telling us that the khasra doesn't come on any other type of word except a ismun. An ismun is
a type of word that points to a meaning of in and of itself that is not connected a time frame.
ف اق فوا ما ق فوا
Arabic language is ن الwhich means it is passed down from father to son. Memorise the rules and utilize
the rules, because the Qur'an and the hadith as well as the poems of Arabic language have preserved it.
ل ت نوي ن
A dhammataan, khasrataan and fathataan will only be found in an ismun.

These harf are known as: حروف ال خ فض = Hurooful Khafdhee = as mentioned before ضفخلاis
something low, the khasra or what comes in the place of a khasra. A word has three parts, the last radical
is the one that is dealt with in grammar. The definition of grammar in Arabic is the science through which
we learn what is happening at the end of the word, also the placement of the word within the sentence. If
a word has al in front of it, it has a dhamma at the end, if it has not then it has a dhammataan.
The asl (origin) of every word is that at the end of the word there should be a dhamma or a dhamataan. If
it doesn't have a dhamma or a dhammataan AT THE END of the word, then something is affecting that
word in grammar.
The ضفخلاrepresents a rule: They make the last radical on the word turn into a khasra or a khasrataan.
This is only for an مسا.

mean around/regarding etc
The haa sounds like the h in hurts, hurdle and history. Numerical value is 5. The makhraj is from the
throat, its deepest part. The description of the letter is: hamsun, rikwun and istifaal. Hams is the whisper
sound and rikwun is the weakness. Istifaal means to keep the tongue flat, these are all its sifaat. It has
fath as you still open your mouth, samtun is restraint even though there's hams. Idhar is the tajweed rule
of haa AND alif.
Letter وW‘ow
Here he starts off by telling us where to find the Makhraj, a Makhraj is the point of exit. The root word of
Makhraj is Haraja, Haraja means to exit, to leave out, so Makhraj literally means a place something exits,
in English it would be called the point of articulation, or the place of enunciation, the place where the
sound is verbalized.
When you add Ma‘a before a word it means place, Example the word Masjid, the root word of it is Saja‘da
which means a place of prostration, when the letter Ma‘a is added before it we call it a Masjid that tells us
what the place was built for, a place of prostration we call a Masjid.
There are 2 types of Makhraj, one that can be pin pointed, and the other is vague.
So the poem is teaching 2 principles, first one is if you want to know the Makhraj of a letter, you put a
sound before that letter a A‘a or an I‘i‘e. And you make that letter have a no vowel sound on it.
Examples: ا ب, A‘ab, the ba‘a sound you find Makhraj of Ba'a by adding Alif there.
And O‘w, the Makhraj here is vague because you can't find the makhraj of the word O‘w. The Makhraj of
the وcan not be found.The Makhraj is vague because you can‘t put your finger on it.
There are 3 letters that are vague in Arabic language, اalif, وwow and ىya‘a.
Next Rule:
‘’It’s always in that gang Yanmu, they’ll make Idhaam right after noon saakina (no vowel) or
tanween (2 vowels)’’
YANMU is a word is a word that is made up of letters that are part of a particular group in the science of
Tajweed.
Yanmu means ىyaa نnoon مmeem وwow. These are the letters of Idhaam.
وWow is part of Yanmu, and Yanmu makes Idhaam, Idhaam means to enter something into something
else.
An Ya‘amal, in Arabic you would not say the نnoon, you would make Idhaam of the noon into the yaa
and u would say,
ى عمل ا
Ai‘ Yamal, because you Idhaam the noon into the Yaa.
‘’They’ll make Idhaam right after noon saakina (no vowel) or tanween’’
2) Example:
ر ل نو ا
You wouldn‘t say Al‘nur, instead you would make Idhaam and say An‘nur leaving the letter La‘am out.
3)Example:
ما من
You don‘t say Min M‘a‘a, you will say مما, Mim'ma.
Because you entered the letters of Idha‘ama, و م ن ىthey are part of that gang YANMU and whenever
they get right after the letter noon they make Idhaam, and the noon sound get‘s eaten up.
Next rule:
‘’Wow’wun is six when counting leen, and Jahrun, Rikhwun, on the scene their brothers Fathun,
Istifaal, and Samtun, holding all them down.’’
1.Leen,
2.Jahrun,
3.Rikhwun,
4.Fathun,
5.Istifaal,
6.Samtun.
Jahrun – Loud – Is to enunciate the sound in a loud way, while at the same time Restraint.- holding the air
in your nose.
Rikhwun - Weak. Because وis not a letter that you can control, it‘s not like Ba‘a, ابI‘b‘b or اجIj‘j, they
have lot more power, but Rikhwun Ow‘, it has no control, once you say It you can‘t stop it, it jus goes.
Fathun - Opening mouth, like a doorway.
Lesson 9
Al Ajrumiyaa
د و ف سو س ين ب ا ال ف عل و د ور ه م يز ل تات يث ا ت ا و ع لم ف ا ب
If you want to recognize what a Fil‘un is, than it is recognized when you see a ‗ سseen‘ in front of it.
When you see سin front of a word, it will mean that word is a Filun a verb.
In the Quran whenever you see a ‗ سseen‘ sa‘a, it means it will happen in this world, its happening, it‘s
gonna happen, it will happen soon.
If you say Saw‘fa Ath‘habu – It means after a long time/not so soon. It doesn‘t mean immediacy.
Sa‘a means in a short time I will, and Saw‘fa means in a longer period of time.
Ka‘ad carries the same meaning as the English word already, except you use it in front of the word.
The believers have already. In Arabic they say ‗already have the believers‘.
But in Arabic you put the Ka‘d before, the grammar places it before.
In grammar, you will only see a Ka‘ad before a word that is a Filun, a verb.
In the Arabic language, when the scholars put down the rules they said if you want to recognize a Filun,
than know a Fil‘un will only come before a Ka‘ad, Seen or Sawfa, these are the only things that will come
before it.
ل تات يث ا ت ا وWa ta‘a taneeth – this is called the ta‘a that let‘s you know that it‘s feminine:
But if you say Fa‘alat. That ta‘a at the end is called the ta‘a taneeth that is to let you know that the one
who did that was a female or feminine in gender.
And this taa‘ taneetha you will only see on a Filun, a verb word.
س ين- Seen
ف سو- Saufa
ق د- Ka‘ad
ل تات يث ا ت ا- And taa ta‘aneeth
And the taa taneeth is that ta‘a that comes at end of word that lets you know that one who did it.
