Muzaaf Muzaaf ilaihi with pronouns (Seq # 24)

Let us consider the phrase in the English language “His book”. For understanding
purpose, it can be rewritten as “book of him”. Thus it uses the concept of “of”.

Hence it is also a ‫ﻀﺎﻑ ِﺇ َﻟﻴ ِﻪ‬ َ ‫ ُﻣ‬in the Arabic language. So, when the pronoun
َ ‫ﻀﺎﻑ ُﻣ‬
joins a noun then we get ‫ﻀﺎﻑ ِﺇﻟَﻴ ِﻪ‬ َ ‫ ُﻣ‬. See example below.
َ ‫ﻀﺎﻑ ُﻣ‬

Understanding Ya-Mutakallim (Seq # 25)

The letter ‫ ﻱ‬is Ya Mutakallim (Ya of First person). It is the attached personal
pronoun for the detached personal pronoun ‫ﺃَﻧَــﺎ‬. Consider the below table.

‫ ﺃَﻧَــﺎ = ﺑَــﻴْــﺘِــﻲ‬+ ُ‫ﺑَــﻴْــﺖ‬

In the phrase ‫ ﺑَــﻴْــ ِﺘــﻲ‬there are two words. Its translation is “my house”. The house
(‫ )ﺑَﻴﺖ‬in this phrase is ‫ﻉ‬ ْ ُ‫ــﺮﻓ‬
ٌ ‫ــﻮ‬ ْ ‫ َﻣ‬. But because of the power Ya Mutakallim, the
dammah of ُ‫ ﺑَــﻴْــﺖ‬becomes kathrah. Thus ُ‫ ﺑَــﻴْــﺖ‬in ‫ ﺑَــﻴْــﺘِــﻲ‬is ‫ﻉ‬ ْ ُ‫ــﺮﻓ‬
ٌ ‫ــﻮ‬ ْ ‫ َﻣ‬. This same thing
applies to all the Muzaaf Muzaaf iliahi’s with Ya Mutakallim. Such a thing our
eyes cannot see but our mind can see if we understand.

Explaining Preposition + pronoun = jaar majroor, Noun + pronoun =

Muzaaf Muzaaf ilaihi (Seq # 26)

This is a revision topic. In earlier sessions we have learned Jaar Majroor and
Muzaaf Muzaaf ilaihi. Let us derive a simple formula now as below.

Preposition + Pronoun = Jaar Majroor

Example:

Translation: From Him

Noun + Pronoun = Muzaaf Muzaaf iliahi

Example:

Translation: Your lord

Preposition before Muzaaf Muzaaf ilaihi (Seq # 27)

This topic is very important to understand. We know that, the preposition will
make the noun after it into ‫ َﻣﺠْ ُﺮﻭﺭ‬case. So if preposition comes before ‫ﻀﺎﻑ‬
َ ‫ﻀﺎﻑ ُﻣ‬
َ ‫ُﻣ‬
‫ ِﺇﻟَﻴﻪ‬then it will make ‫ﻀﺎﻑ‬
َ ‫ ُﻣ‬into ‫ َﻣﺠْ ُﺮﻭﺭ‬case. Example is below.

In the path of Allah ِ‫ﺳ ِﺒ ْﻴ ِﻞ ﷲ‬ َ ‫ﺳ ِﺒ ْﻴ ُﻞ ﷲِ = ﻓِﻲ‬ َ + ‫ﻓِﻲ‬

In night of the decree ‫ ﻟَ ْﻴﻠَﺔُ ْﺍﻟﻘَﺪ ِْﺭ = ﻓِﻲ ﻟَ ْﻴﻠَ ِﺔ ْﺍﻟﻘَﺪ ِْﺭ‬+ ‫ﻓِﻲ‬
In your book َ‫ِﻛﺘ َﺎﺑُﻚَ = ﻓِﻲ ِﻛﺘ َﺎﺑِﻚ‬ + ‫ﻓِﻲ‬

Exercises

State TRUE or FALSE: The phrase ‫( ِﻣ ْﻦ ﺃَﻳَﺎﺗِﻨَﺎ‬from our signs/verses) in the

verse Quran (15:18:9) has both ‫ َﺟﺎﺭ َﻣﺠْ ُﺮﻭﺭ‬and ‫ﻀﺎﻑ ِﺇﻟَﻴﻪ‬ َ ‫ ُﻣ‬.
َ ‫ﻀﺎﻑ ُﻣ‬
State TRUE or FALSE: The phrase ‫( ِﻣ ْﻦ ِﻛﺘ َﺎﺑِﻨَﺎ‬from our book) has both ‫َﺟﺎﺭ َﻣﺠْ ُﺮﻭﺭ‬
and ‫ﻀﺎﻑ ﺇِﻟَﻴﻪ‬ َ ‫ ُﻣ‬.
َ ‫ﻀﺎﻑ ُﻣ‬
State TRUE or FALSE: The phrase َ‫( ﻓِﻲ ﻗَ ْﻠ ِﺒﻚ‬in your heart) has both ‫َﺟﺎﺭ َﻣﺠْ ُﺮﻭﺭ‬
and ‫ﻀﺎﻑ ﺇِﻟَﻴﻪ‬ َ ‫ ُﻣ‬.
َ ‫ﻀﺎﻑ ُﻣ‬
