What is the difference between "Nissa, Amraat and Azwaj"
-
Brother, you are not following my point. Rajul, can be used as common gender. Arabic has lot of other words that can be used as common gender. Nothing to do with the Morphological contruct of the word. Furthermore, you have yet to give a referance for the your claim that is a derivative of from an authentic Arabic lexicon. One that is used now as a word meaning woman has a Medda on the Alif, which this Nisa does not. Peace and love.

Badar, The discussion is regarding the grammatical construct and rules that govern the Quranic term's rijalan / and nisa'a / NOT a Lexical reference defining the common linguistic 'usage' of a word.
rijalan / and nisa'a / are Quranic terms NOT linguistic terms
The reference and meaning of rijalan / and nisa'a / is determined by Allah, subhaana wata ala NOT by Lanes Lexicon
Im not sure why you keep stating I have 'not' given you a reference that supports my position, when I have several times!
Again, may refer you to Dr. Abdullah Abbas Nadwi as a 'credible' and 'reputable' resource "Learn The Language of The Holy Quran' page 176 & 180 discusses 'broken plural' /
Another reputable and informative resource the 'ARABIC ONLINE' website, chapter 'Irregular Plural Nouns' http//arabic.tripod.com/Nouns5.htm
Biography
"Dr. Abdullah Abbas Nadwi initial publication of "Learn The Language of The Holy Quran' in 1989.

Last point Rajul / Rijal is an ACTIVE PARTICIPLE, it has no gender!
It requires inflection for gender, number and case either by use of a preposition that precedes the participle or some type of pronoun affixed to the participle or just a common noun.
The active participle behaves like an adjective, agrees in gender and number with the noun it defines

This is true as far as this participle is singular. What if it is a plural describing a group of both genders? Would it be feminine or masculine? How about "mu'minuun " and "kaafiruun " which are both participles? Does the qur'aan speak of men only when mentioning them?

"He that works evil will not be requited but by the like thereof. and he that works a righteous deed - whether man or woman - and is a Believer- such will enter the Garden (of Bliss). Therein will they have abundance withoutmeasure.

hum (them) kafiruun / , seems to be consistent throughout the Quran.

Is this your response? Of course it is consistant throughout the quraan!! Who are "hum they"? And please no cut and paste, no grammar or beating behind the bush. Simple answer will do, thank you.
And please address my other quetion too (above conditions apply, too).

Questions
-Who is being addressed here?
-How do you translate this verse?Assalaam Alaikum Samia
Before we begin the 'quiz show', If I may suggest.
Samia, we are attempting to 'share' our perceptions that Allah is indicating to us and in doing so it develops a sharing of knowledge and creates a learning dialogue.
I have seen in numerous threads, the dialogue digressing into egotistical rants and minutia. Personally, I avoid those confrontations.
I have certainly gained in understanding when mutual respect and knowledge sharing is maintained.

-Who is being addressed here? You Samia, You khiftum farijalan /
-How do you translate this verse? Personally, I dont normally 'translate' ayahs in a discussion regarding a particular ayah. Its really not that important to me, the translation. The Quran will define itself. -
hum / them
tum / you
kum / you

I believe unfortunately the dialogue is beginning to digress, thus I will reserve the right to respond. But before I take that position I wanted to comment briefly about a previous request.
Samia, You asked a question....
"How about "mu'minuun " and "kaafiruun " which are both participles? Does the qur'aan speak of men only when mentioning them?"
I responded with this ayah from the Quran....
"He that works evil will not be requited but by the like thereof. and he that works a righteous deed - whether man or woman - and is a Believer- such will enter the Garden (of Bliss). Therein will they have abundance withoutmeasure.
Man AAamila sayyiatan fala yujza illa mithlaha waman AAamila salihan min thakarin / those who remember;male aw ontha / females wa huwa muminun faolaika yadkhuloona aljannata yurzaqoona feeha bighayri hisabin
Samia, the ayah addresses your inquiry, specifically and directly. Allah is stating that Male and Female, through their active behavior as Mu'minuun will be blessed with paradise.
Not that it really means anything, but Im not sure how you determine that my response was "off point and does not address either question"
Again, I will reserve the right to respond to any post and will be somewhat discriminative regarding who and when I respond.
Salaam Alaikum

Brother do not get upset. Sister Samia has valid questions. One who is not Illah has not used any word in revelation that was not in lexical concepts of people of that time. However, people like us afterwards for their vested intrests have changed the meanings or applied diffrerently. Example is here in 41 and many more . Here Rijalun is not used as litteral "men" but as common gender like modren english "you guys", Kasirun is an adjective meaning "often" and Nissaun is not for women but being fortgetfulness. Hence, this part should be understood as "Once you guys are born and attained puberty/manhood you forget this". Forget what, that is in pervious discussion of creation. Furthermore, if Rijalun was used here for literal men, than instead of Nissa should have been used. However, by giving wrong meaning to Nissa here, adtvantage is taken in 43. To justify 4 mirrages. Please do not feel any thing is directed at you personally. We are all learning. I am just a very begining student. I will also admit that by interacting with you I have learned a lot in this short time. For this my prayers are for you. Peace and love.

This bolded line was quite enough for me. I suppose you know I am female hail so when I read this verse I believe it is addressing me, among the "rijaal". Therefore, rijaalan does not mean men, and it includes women. -

412 In what your wives (Azwajukum) leave, your share is a half, if they leave no child; but if they leave a child, ye get a fourth; after payment of legacies and debts. In what ye leave, their share is a fourth, if ye leave no child; but if ye leave a child, they get an eighth; after payment of legacies and debts. ....
So, it mean that zoaj/azwaj are only wife/wives. The term does not convey spouse/spouses.

Azwaju-kum
Azwaj means mates
kum is a plural masculine pronoun, which refers to BOTH male and femaleIf it were a feminine 'plural' pronoun such as 'hunna, kunna, etc.' it would refer to females ONLY. Masculine 'plural' pronouns refer to BOTH male and female.
Wealthy Females leave legacies, debts and inheritance, Sura 4.12 applies to them also.

No, grammar/reading out of context leads to major contradictions on very clear verses.
E.g. woman leaves behind husband and no children, which to use?
412 And for you 1/2 what your spouses/wives left, if was not for them a child....
412...and for them the 1/4 from what you left, if was not for you a child...

Please take the time and energy to research the 'context' through the language of the Quran. The Quran will confirm the context.
Then lets talk.
When your ready, just post your understanding.
Again as you know by now, I dont argue english translations or interpretations.

Still waiting MTR for your response on my pervious post. in word Nissa meaning women which does not even exsist according to Lexion of classic Arabic has Medda on Alif. This is the same rule for make feminine of a given word. However, 41 has no Medda. Thanks.

Badar, we went through this already! is a FEMININE MARKER!!, period
Sura 4.1 from that soul countless men and women / and baththa minhuma rijalan katheeran wa nisa'a /
min-huma is a dual, masculine and feminine pronoun reference that governs and defines rijalan / and nisaan / as Men and Women, respectively.
nisa?a / is feminine singular, indicated by the feminine marker extended alif & hamza /
Again, a Lexical reference is word 'usage' NOT grammatical morphology (structure, meanings, verbal forms, tense, gender, number, etc.)
We are discussing the Quran NOT linguistic use of words but Quranic understanding and relevance of a Quranic term NOT linguistic terms based upon dialects and usage.
Badar I have given you the references 4 times!!! Posted them in the thread, do I have to do it a 5th time?
