      So, in other words you say is ??

      If we apply the rules of Arabic language, the word "masjid" is wrong, and it should be "masjad" since the impirative form of the verb is "yasjud". In this case, i.e "masjad" the word could be

      The Rule

      1. For verbs in a present tense pattern of or the verbal noun, nouns of time and place are all of the pattern

      2. For verbs a present tense pattern of There is a difference between the verbal noun and the nouns of time and place is a verbal noun; is a noun of place or time.

      The present tense of the verb for "sjd" is "yasjud" ; it falls withing the first of the two rules.
      So, why do we wrongly pronounce "masjid" instead of "masjad" ?
      Back to your question because when we correctly pronounce it, we will not be obliged to believe that "masjad" is a place or a building. We can even come to understand it as a verbal noun, with a similar meaning to "sujuud", but without any time limit.

          However, the books suggest that there are also some other exceptions, like this word, to the rule of its primary pattern

            Thanks for the welcome.
            What does the book (which book?) say about ? Is it a verbal noun or a noun of place/ time? Or both?

              Salaam Samia,

              Then, "Mashriq" and "Maghrib" does not refer to place of rise and set of sun? Because those two stand on same weight as "Masjid". And what exactly does they mean?

              As I am not well versed in Arabic language, please help me understand it.

              May Allah increase us all in knowledge and guide us all to His true path. pr

                The difference is in the pattern of the present verb tense and "yashriq" and "yaghrib" as opposed to "yasjud "

                Please refer to the rule I put in a quote in my previous post.

                  Thanks a bunch... I will refer it inshaAllah. Can you please translate the words "Mashriq" and "Masjid" literally for me! Thanks in advance.

                    Salaam Samia,

                    "Masjid" is the word used in AlQuraan in 729

                    729

                    What does this mean? Please help!

                      What does the book (which book?) say about ? Is it a verbal noun or a noun of place/ time? Or both?

                      Books about Morphology do indicate the Rule that in the Three Letter Primary Verb the Noun of Place is on the pattern of and . The first one is used for

                      1. For words whose Root letters are sound;
                      2. Present tense verb has the second root consonant vowelled with Kasra, .
                        The second pattern is used for other instances.

                      They include this Noun of Location as notable exception to the rule alongwith few others, one of which I quoted earlier. Another exception I found in a book is ---

                      The difference between the Noun of Location and Noun of Time is perhaps only in the context of their usage. The word Masjid is in the context of Noun of Location; for example

                      Is there any context where it could be considered as Noun of Time, as suggested by Wakas?

                        "mashriq" means the place or the time of sunrise.
                        "masjid" mmmm I say it is "masjad". I know the Arab linguists say that "masjid" is an odd rule! I say they are odd to use "odd" "tashkil" and God does no use "odd" words, but clear Arabic.
                        In this sense, masjad means the verbal noun of "to obey" = obedience/ obeying. Whether obedience has a name of place and/or time IS the odd thinking.

                          Is it not against the earlier stand on Masjid?

                            Don't you find it "odd" that this word is only a noun of place? Why doesn't it have a noun of time nor a verbal noun, although the root meaning of the verb is "to obey" and the "prostration" is just a manifestation of the real meaning, like hand shake which is a manifestation of "to greet or to agree"?
                            Morover, "mosques" were never called "masjid", but "djame3"
                            .....

                                If you are right, then that's too much for "odds", since the three words exist in the qur'aan.

                                    Ibn manzour is relatively "new" born in 1232 and died in 1311.

                                    When did it acquire the name ? If they have the same meaning, why repeat the same word?
                                    I think it is all corruption of the word . According to the qur'aan, apart from the communal prayer, one prays at home in solitude (24 5.

                                        Seybawah believes that is just a name of place and does not come from the verb , otherwise it should be . (he gave another example of the noun of a tool, which he also believed did not come from the thought relevant verb).
                                        Ibnul A3rabi believes that masjad is the court of the house, and masjid is the place of prayers.
                                        Me They are just twisting rules without justifying why masjid became a noun of place and not a verbal noun or even a noun of time.

                                          this too is on Masjid pattern, Noun of Location

                                          4 too many for "odd" patterns in the quraan.
                                          Another proof that grammar is not indispensable for the study of the quraan.
                                          Arabic Grammar has nothing to do with the language of the qur'aan.
