:: Problem with Arabic grammar ::

mmkhan

Salaam all,

I think Arabic grammar is written by those who wrote hadith

I found some problems with the available Arabic grammar, it seems that they wrote what they like or to fit their desires .

Jinnat(in) = Jeem Nun Nun = any madness
Jannat(in) = Jeem Nun Nun = a garden
Junnat(an) = Jeem Nun Nun = a cover

All three words from the same root got different meanings. Oh, I see there is a difference because of 'Fat-ha ', 'Kas-ra ' and 'Zam-mah ', if so then what happened to these two

Jaannu(n) = Jeem Nun Nun = a snake
Jaanun(n) = Jeem Nun Nun = a jinn

They both are exactly the same words. And if really 'Fat-ha', 'Kas-ra' and 'Zam-mah' matters, then is there any option for the following

Hajja = Haa Jeem Jeem = Hajj
Hijju = Haa Jeem Jeem = Hajj

How comes the same meaning for different words? I believe that AlQuraan got its own grammar rules, we should work on it instead of depending on misguiding available grammar.

AlQuraan/AlKitaab is stand alone Book, for understanding, for grammar, for rules, for guidance, for patterns, for designs, for styles, etc., the only Book is enough on its own. MashaAllah!

May Allah guide us all to His true path pr

@ mmkhan,

Meaning is use.

If you choose to propose a syntax for the Arabic language which you believe to be different from that preserved in the books of grammar, then you must provide the necessary texts dating back to the centuries immediately proximate to the Quran's revelation with which you can demonstrate your proposed syntax in order to give your above statements any sense of validation.

Otherwise, the above statements hold no weight.

Meaning is use.

Peace all!

I'd like to share an excerpt from the book Muqaddimah by the renowned sociologist Ibn Khaldun. In his book, Ibn Khaldun sheds light on the crucial contributions of non-Arab scholars (particularly Persians) to the intellectual and scholarly development of the Muslim world.

Ibn Khaldun, narrates in his Muqaddimah:

"It is a remarkable fact that, with few exceptions, most Muslim scholars…in the intellectual sciences have been non-Arabs [includes Berber north africans, assyrians, etc. Arab here refers to specifically those bedouin tribes out of the peninsula], thus the founders of grammar were Sibawaih and after him, al-Farsi and Az-Zajjaj. All of them were of Persian descent they invented rules of (Arabic) grammar. Great jurists were Persians. Only the Persians engaged in the task of preserving knowledge and writing systematic scholarly works. Thus the truth of the statement of the prophet (Muhammad) becomes apparent, 'If learning were suspended in the highest parts of heaven the Persians would attain it'…The intellectual sciences were also the preserve of the Persians, left alone by the Arabs, who did not cultivate them…as was the case with all crafts…This situation continued in the cities as long as the Persians and Persian countries, Iraq, Khorasan and Transoxiana (modern Central Asia), retained their sedentary culture. But when those cities fell into ruins, sedentary culture, which God has devised for the attainment of the sciences and the crafts, disappeared from them."
