    I guess to understand Quran by the root process is not so help ful at all!
    however i think this is the way they do it

    How would you then understand the words of Qur'aan, if you think you need not know and understand the meanings of the Roots from where the words used in Qur'aan emanated?

    dear Mazhar
    You have a nice site in urdu over there, although doesnot has much content but is good one, specially on Kaaba and Makkah.

    It seems you did not enter the site except seeing the introducing page.

      Where is this definition of word Root? Quote the reference.

      Dear Mazhar, please read page 29 of William Wright's grammar Vol 1. Furthermore, in Lane's Lexicon almost all nouns have a verbal root. Even the ones Wright calls as primitive nouns.

      Peace,

      Badar

        Page 29 discusses forms of the verb. And from this you, it is strange, presume he is talking about Roots; "The great majority of the Arabic verbs are trilliteral.........".

        Majority of the Roots are also trilliteral. Arabic Root is placment of consonants in a sequence.

          I said, the root process to understand Quran is not so help full! It may be a factor to understand the quran but we need to know the history, the culture, the persons of that time, other scriputures, archaeoligical evidences and so on.

          We need to study the Man, Muhammad.
          A believer can understand the Quran and live by it even while possessing little or no Arabic knowledge, he doesnot have to find out tens and tens of meanings for one word and then choose the one that best fits him.

          History is witness to many people who are proficient in the Arabic language, yet made very twisted and perverted interpretations of the Quran, all while they are accepted to be well skilled in arabic roots and all those stuffs, otherwise we would not arrived at this situaution.
          The people of Makkah do you think were not experts in arabic and donot understood the roots of these words used in Quran, The disbelievers of Makkah were expert in the language of the Quran, but they did not understand many of the concepts and similitudes of the Quran. They thus rejected it as being words of a madman.
          What one needs to comprehend is that understanding the Qur'an means to understand correctly what is being told in the Verses, the concepts, lessons, signs, admonitions metaphors and imagery. All of these aspects of the Quran hold true regardless [of the language used.

            Majority of the Roots are also trilliteral. Arabic Root is placment of consonants in a sequence.

            This is what I said before. When referred as trilliteral root, all books are implying to verbal root. Hence, whenever Arabic grammar is taught, they use as a dye to find, root consonants, of a word. However, if you have a different definition. Please share with a reference.

              A verb is a word while Root which contains the semantic core is not a word. Words are formed by supplying the root with a vowel structure and/or with affixes.

                Very true, hence my question again. Please add vowels as you like, and make a know verb from root below. And show me a referance that it ever exsisted as a verb. Whereas, all other roots, one could.

                  Praise for Allah that eventually you agreed that Root and what you call verbal root are something different.
                  And I did not expect such a thing will be your next question.
                  Did I ever say that this Root existed as a verb?
                  Why do you want to have a verb out of it?
                  Who told you that every Root must create/give birth to a verb? First let me know the name of that wise man, so that I could learn something more about Arabic.

                    This shows either you have not yet read Qur'aan or you could not incline yourself to believe in what has been stated therein. They understood each and every word of Qur'aan. They were intelligent people, in worldly considerations. They refused to accept Qur'aan for reasons which are mentioned in the Qur'aan, not that they did not understand the words or concepts mentioned therein.

                      Dear, Mazhar what I am saying is this, a consonant skeletal of a word, called root, is what contains the semantics/meanings carried in it. is used as prototype by ancient Arab grammarians for this. This is a verb, even without vowels. Different declinations or affixes and prefixes can make different words out of it. All carrying the same core semantic/meaning, as is present in it's consonant skeletal.

                      However, there are no examples in Lexicons where only one noun is known and no other derivatives from a given semantics of a consonant skeletal. Which is, the case with the word in discussion. If you have an evidence to contrary that other words do exists from this root. Please bring that forwards with reference.

                      Peace,

                        This is NOT a verb even without vowels, it is written without indicating the vowels, and since it is a solitary word, not written in a text, the positioning of its vowels is only known to you. Please attend to what I wrote earlier and consult, in line with your habit of study, some lexicons, grammer books, to clear the confusion that has arisen in your mind, though unnecessarily. Not that Reformer says this, the Word under discussion is purely of Arabic origin and the author of the book of the thread is just a gossip and conjecture monger.

                              So how come the above comments of mine, make you say that I have not read Quran?
                              Do you know why people don't like behavior of Mullahs! guess not?

                                Since Qur'aan says something diametrically opposite to your loud judgment. Please read Qur'aan and find whether they did not understand words of Qur'aan or they had other motives and considerations for not accepting it. Thanks, over and all.

                                  So according to you they understand Quran by language, and I said the same thing, Makkans understood the language and roots of Quran but still rejceted Muhammad and Quran.

                                  Therefore to undrerstand Quran by root process is not the best way as propogated by some.

                                      The people of Makkah do you think were not experts in arabic and donot understood the roots of these words used in Quran, The disbelievers of Makkah were expert in the language of the Quran, but they did not understand many of the concepts and similitudes of the Quran. They thus rejected it as being words of a madman.

                                      Please read Qur'aan and find whether they did not understand words of Qur'aan or they had other motives and considerations for not accepting it.

                                      So according to you they understand Quran by language, and I said the same thing, Makkans understood the language and roots of Quran but still rejceted Muhammad and Quran.

                                      Therefore to undrerstand Quran by root process is not the best way as propogated by some.

                                      What a contradiction!!

                                      Over and all and then .......No that is not a contradiction
