A Challenge to all Arab Linguists arround the Globe
-
".
Who is "that person" whose words should not be listened and accepted?
"Have you noticed that one man who advises/asks/forbids a man/allegiant when he says prayers".
The word of this man is not to be accepted and instead that act be performed which he is forbidding which is a source of getting nearer to the Lord.

Peace,
You should really study Arabic some more Badar, from a book that is. I don't mean that to insult you. But this is not a challenge for Arabic linguists around the globe but more like a challenge for you to try to understand what is going on with Arabic and its words. I think if you picked up a few basic Arabic books and focused on conjugation, this would not be so difficult for you. Then those of us here who know could confirm or correct your understanding. I guess that is what is going on here, but I think you went about obtaining these lessons in a dishonest way. ANd you are attempting to act as if we are learning together, when you are the only one who is learning here. (You might be able to say I am learning both patience and how to explain Arabic grammar to you here. But that's it.) So, in the spirit of learning here's what you are having dificulty trying to understand so far
In Arabic the pronoun can be expressed internally within the word. You do not have to say it before the verb. So the first pronoun that is included within the word through the use of the prefixed taa' is the subject. It is 'anta' but can be expressed within the verb internally (in linguistic terms this is called synthetic structure if i remember right). The second pronoun (hu) at the end is referring to the direct object. So there are 2 pronouns in this word, just in case that was confusing you.
= you/she (the subject)
= the condensed root Taa'a (Taw, alif/waw, 'ain) of the word within the context of the subjunctive/jussive and present tense of form IV or Af'ala, expressing obedience.
= Him (the direct object)
Pls continue to ask more questions if you need to, but plain old, honest study can only put all the pieces together for you so you don't continue to have trouble with Arabic words.
What we have with is the negative command form form with a direct object at the end. This however could also be saying 'May you/she not obey him.' From context it is more obviously 'you' and not 'she.'
Godbless,

Dear Anwar, thanks again for your reply and patience with an ignorant like me. But what you have said so far about grammatical break down. It only changes this part of 9619 from my original "as a matter of fact, not be, who is in a state of submission " to this " not at all be one who is in state of submission/submitting" or if one were to be more explicit "not at all you be him (who) is submitting/ in submission".. Although, with this translation one is ignoring Laa that follows after, Kalla.

There is nothing wrong with not knowing, as long as you know you do not know and try to learn. I applaud you for trying to learn. I also would not try translating with such a limited knowledge of Arabic. I"m not sure why you need to use the word 'submit' but as you know, that word is not there. Obey and submit have similar connotations but they are not the same word. I also do not know where you are getting the 'not at all'. Why can you not accept the more accurate translation of 'Do not obey him' ?
Godbless,

Dear Anwer, thanks again. Here is relavant page of Lane's lexicon for your review. This will help you to understand meanings of as submission, as well first concept given.

In my humble opinion, it is more important to understand the correct meanings and concepts of words of AlKitab, than intricacies of Arabic grammar. In fact the point of this exercise was to bring this very point out to wider audiences.
On the note of reciprocity of learning. Please consider and try to understand this. The word is actually . Please try to find out how come?
Peace.

If one were to understand that is not a proper name. Instead it represents a phrase consisting of as a contraction of followed by and finally , rest becomes much easier to understand. Would be translated in English (One) who is not illah (God, illah, a proper name of Pagan Arab God).

Thanks for the reference to Lane's. I didn't know it could be directly translated as to become submissive as well. I mean it's not far off from 'being obedient' and some of those sources prefer obedience to orders than obedience in character. But I guess both can be implied, and that is fine. But you see the meaning of obedience there as well, so I hope you are not trying to pick one meaning over another. Both are correct meanings of this word used in the Quran. The intracacies of Arabic grammar will help you to understand the Quran better you cannot make a choice of either or. You need it all. I'm not sure what you think you were trying to put out to a wider audience, but whatever, I don't even want to get into that.
Also what is the connection you are trying to make between and ? I haven't found the second one in the dictionary yet. I'll look harder. The only thing I can think of is waw, dal, 'ain. So if you said 'Do not let/ Do not deposit, Do not leave off, Do not cease/skip/omit.' You would say . But again what are you trying to get at?

The said, ?We have listened, and we have refused to accept? {Refer 293}
And they say, ?We have listened, and we have refused to accept? {Refer 446}
And they said, ?We have listened, and we have accepted? {Refer 2285}
And if they had said, ?We have listened, and we have accepted? {Refer 446}
When you said, ?We have listened, and we have accepted? {Refer 507}
That they respond/say, ?We have listened, and we have accepted? {Refer 2451}
And you people listen and you people accept ? {Refer 6416}
The basic perception is to accept what is told. This is to believe in what is told. It is accepting it as true when some thing is told. Those who accept respond by expressing their acceptance or by the nod of head in affirmative. And those who do not accept what is told, they either refuse bluntly, or express their non acceptance by just turning away and departure.
You, the Messenger pronounce, ?You people accept the word of Allah and the Messenger.
For reason {gesture of refusal] you people turn away, in such case indeed Allah does not like those who refuse to accept .{Refer 332}
Whosoever listened and accepted the word of the Messenger, for reason {He is communicating nothing but word of Allah} he certainly accepted word of Allah.
And whoever turned away since We have not sent you as a guard upon them.{Refer 480}
Root of is and basic perception is to accept something wholeheartedly, by will without any external pressure/force/fear/compulsion.
{Refer 238}
comes after it, to follow exactly in the manner told, without there being interference from third party. Nothing should be in between what is being followed. To physically move, on footprints, act exactly on the line accepted. One has a theoretical aspect while the other has practical aspect/connotation. It means translating into action what was accepted.For Urdu speaking friends, here is a 21 page complete article.

Dear Anwer, In classic Arabic and Dal are interchangable. Hence, 9619 I am understanding as
Surah 96 19
As a matter of fact, do not be, with those who are in a state of subjugation and lowly; by lowering heads (in subservience) and because of this getting scarce and limited, with respect of means and resources, from me.However, and have similar meanings, hence the question if is actualy IV form of with written in place of . Anyhow for now I have used root until more confimation of this principle.
I have almost finished translating Sura 96, will share soon, then 9619 will make more sense.
Peace.

It is a very strange thing that a person who knows arabic (Probably the only person on this forum who knows some arabic) is involved in such a ???? type of discussion ?

Peace,
Badar. The second link is interesting, but I am sure this only applies for those few words and may have a connection to idgham. you will find words that contain letters that are close soundwise (and in the position of the mouth) every once in a while being as synonyms. The first link you gave me is a definite explanation of idgham, something you might want to do more research on (this is also called assimilation in English and explains who letters affect the sound of other letters that follow or precede them). Extrapolating that the taw and dal are interchangeable is definitely a far reach. I would do some more research on idgham before making any more conclusions like this.
Q_Student,
I understand your point competely. And honestly I'm just trying to help in anyway I can. The world is full of very opinionated and many times very wrong people. But if someone asks me for help I will do my best and just hope that that knowledge I've given doesn't get distorted or used for the wrong purposes in the future.
Godbless,

Godbless,
AnwarDear Anwer may Rubb bless you more. I read idgham a while ago. I did not understand it, to be like this, but you bring an intresting prospective. Hence, I will restudy idgham with this prospective to check if it makes sense.
However, this change of Alphabet is becoming an increasingly recurring and possible helpful principle in understanding certain words in Alkitab. I will give you another example, where it seem to apply in more ambigous situation and help understand other more mysterious words in AlKitab.
I asked the question on open forum. No body answered. Although, I got a personal respose affirming it. Since it is personal reponse I can not share with you who it was. This is to respect privacy of the person.
This is what my question was "Dear are you aware that in Classic Arabic, alphabet could be changed to in script?"
Response without name "Could be chaged or looks like? I know that reading the original text is difficult without having knowledge beforehand of what letters/words are being read."

Also this is not a huge deal, but I wanted to correct you Badar. It is not Rubb it is Rabb. And it is Anwar, not Anwer. And may our Rabb also bless you.
Godbless,

Yes pls show me where you think this interchange between jim and yaa has happened. I also think you may have made a visual mistake.
Godbless,
AnwarDear Anwar, here are the relavant referance link for above. I do not think that Jiim and Yaa are generated close enough in Vocal tract to justify or explain this exchange. Intresting, isn't?
