Lan · An · Kay · Idhan · Li · Ma kana li · Hatta

Learning Objectives
  • Recognise the four particles that make the mudari' mansub by themselves — lan, an, kay and idhan
  • See exactly what changes at the end of the verb — the damma becomes a fatha, the nun drops, and forms 6 and 12 stay the same
  • Understand the meaning each particle adds — will not, to / that, so that, in that case
  • Recognise li, ma kana … li and hatta, where a hidden an makes the verb mansub
  • Explain the silent alif written after the waw when the nun drops

Introduction

In Part 1 we saw that the mudari' (imperfect) verb has three states: marfu' (the default), mansub and majzum. This lesson looks at the particles that make the mudari' mansub — the "hammers". For each one you will see the meaning it adds and the change it makes at the end of the verb. Please watch Part 1 first, as its points are not repeated here.

Lesson Notes

Recap: What Nasb Does to the 14 Forms

The default state of the mudari' is rafa'. It changes only when a particle comes before it. The forms fall into three groups:

FormsMarfu' (default)MansubWhat changes
1, 4, 7, 13, 14يَنْصُرُيَنْصُرَthe damma becomes a fatha
2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11يَنْصُرُونَيَنْصُرُواthe nun of i'rab drops
6, 12يَنْصُرْنَيَنْصُرْنَno change — this nun is the nun of the feminine plural, not the nun of i'rab

In meaning, the mansub state usually carries purpose, intention or direction.

Why Does the Mudari' Become Mansub?

Because a particle — a hammer — comes before it. A hammer hits the damma and flattens it into a fatha. The hammers fall into two groups:

GroupHow it worksParticles
A — DirectThe particle itself makes the verb mansub — تَنْصِبُ بِنَفْسِهَالَنْ ، أَنْ ، كَيْ ، إِذَنْ
B — HiddenA hidden an after the particle makes the verb mansub — بِأَنْ مُضْمَرَةٍلِـ ، مَا كَانَ لِـ ، حَتَّى

Three more — فَـ ، وَ ، أَوْ — also work through a hidden an, but only under conditions. They are left for an advanced lesson.

Group A: Lan — "will not / will never"

FeatureEnglishArabic
Classical definitionA particle of negation, nasb and future timeحَرْفُ نَفْيٍ وَنَصْبٍ وَاسْتِقْبَالٍ
What it doesDenies a future action. It is the negative of the future prefix from L08سَـ / سَوْفَ
Before → afterhe will help → he will not helpسَيَنْصُرُ ← لَنْ يَنْصُرَ
Example"We cannot endure the same meal ˹every day˺." — Quran (Al-Baqarah 2:61)لَنْ نَصْبِرَ عَلَى طَعَامٍ وَاحِدٍ
ArabicTranslationMarfu' (default)Mansub with lanWhat changes
لَنْ أَتْرُكَ الصَّلَاةَI will not leave the prayer.أَتْرُكُلَنْ أَتْرُكَdamma becomes fatha
لَنْ يَخْرُجُوا مِنَ الْبَيْتِThey (m. pl.) will not go out of the house.يَخْرُجُونَلَنْ يَخْرُجُواthe nun drops
لَنْ يَلْعَبْنَ فِي الشَّارِعِThey (f. pl.) will not play in the street.يَلْعَبْنَلَنْ يَلْعَبْنَno change — mansub in position

Group A: An — "to / that"

The most common hammer. An turns the meaning of the verb into a verbal noun (masdar): "that you fast" is the same as "your fasting". The word is still a verb, and the verb rules still apply.

FeatureEnglishArabic
Classical definitionA particle of masdar, nasb and future timeحَرْفُ مَصْدَرٍ وَنَصْبٍ وَاسْتِقْبَالٍ
What it doesGives the verb a verbal-noun meaning: that you fast = your fastingأَنْ تَصُومُوا = صِيَامُكُمْ
Before → afterhe helps → that he helpsيَنْصُرُ ← أَنْ يَنْصُرَ
Example"and I fear that a wolf may devour him" — Quran (Yusuf 12:13)وَأَخَافُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ الذِّئْبُ
ArabicTranslationMarfu' (default)Mansub with anWhat changes
أَرْغَبُ فِي أَنْ أَحْفَظَ الْقُرْآنَI wish to memorise the Quran.أَحْفَظُأَنْ أَحْفَظَdamma becomes fatha
يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْ يَفْهَمُوا الدَّرْسَThey (m. pl.) are able to understand the lesson.يَفْهَمُونَأَنْ يَفْهَمُواthe nun drops
يَرْغَبْنَ فِي أَنْ يَدْرُسْنَ الْعَرَبِيَّةَThey (f. pl.) wish to study Arabic.يَدْرُسْنَأَنْ يَدْرُسْنَno change — mansub in position

Merged forms of an. An can join with other short words. The an is still there, so the effect on the verb is the same:

FormMeaningExample
أَلَّاthat … not (an + la)وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُوا — "If you fear you might fail to give orphan women their ˹due˺ rights" — Quran (An-Nisa 4:3)
لِئَلَّاso that … not (li + an + la)لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَيْكُمْ حُجَّةٌ — "so that people will have no argument against you" — Quran (Al-Baqarah 2:150)

Group A: Kay — "so that / in order to"

Kay gives the purpose of the action — it answers "why?". It often comes with li in front: likay.

FeatureEnglishArabic
Particle and its formsso that / in order to; with la: so that … notكَيْ: لِكَيْ ، كَيْلَا ، لِكَيْلَا
Classical definitionA particle of masdar and nasbحَرْفُ مَصْدَرٍ وَنَصْبٍ
Before → afterhe helps → so that he helpsيَنْصُرُ ← كَيْ يَنْصُرَ
Example"so that they may know nothing after having known much" — Quran (Al-Hajj 22:5)لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِنْ بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْئًا
ArabicTranslationMarfu' (default)Mansub with kayWhat changes
ذَهَبَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ لِكَيْ يَسْمَعَ الدَّرْسَHe went to the masjid in order to hear the lesson.يَسْمَعُلِكَيْ يَسْمَعَdamma becomes fatha
جَلَسُوا كَيْ يَكْتُبُوا الدَّرْسَThey (m. pl.) sat down so that they could write the lesson.يَكْتُبُونَكَيْ يَكْتُبُواthe nun drops
جَلَسْنَ لِكَيْلَا يَتْعَبْنَThey (f. pl.) sat down so that they would not get tired.يَتْعَبْنَلِكَيْلَا يَتْعَبْنَno change — mansub in position
FormMeaningExample
كَيْso that (the basic form)كَيْ نُسَبِّحَكَ كَثِيرًا — "so that we may glorify You much" — Quran (Ta-Ha 20:33)
لِكَيْso that / in order to (lam + kay)نَسْمَعُ الْمُعَلِّمَ لِكَيْ نَفْهَمَ — We listen to the teacher so that we understand. (everyday Arabic)
كَيْ لَاso that … not (kay + la, two words)كَيْ لَا يَكُونَ دُولَةً — "so that wealth may not merely circulate among your rich" — Quran (Al-Hashr 59:7)
لِكَيْلَا / لِكَيْ لَاso that … not (lam + kay + la, one word or two)لِكَيْلَا تَأْسَوْا عَلَىٰ مَا فَاتَكُمْ — "so that you neither grieve over what you have missed" — Quran (Al-Hadid 57:23)

Group A: Idhan — "in that case"

Idhan is a response particle: it answers something someone has said. It is not found with a mansub verb in the Quran, so it is learnt here for everyday Arabic.

ArabicTranslation
سَأَزُورُكَ غَدًا"I will visit you tomorrow."
إِذَنْ أُكْرِمَكَ"In that case, I will honour you."

The damma of أُكْرِمُكَ becomes a fatha: أُكْرِمَكَ.

Group B: Li — the Lam of Purpose

You already know li as a particle of jarr. Before a mudari' it gives the purpose — "so that / in order to" — and the scholars say a hidden an after it makes the verb mansub.

FeatureEnglishArabic
Classical definitionThe lam of purpose (also called lam kay): a prepositionلَامُ التَّعْلِيلِ (لَامُ كَيْ) حَرْفُ جَرٍّ
What it doesA hidden an makes the verb mansubلِيَنْصُرَ = لِـ + أَنْ + يَنْصُرَ
Before → afterhe helps → so that he helpsيَنْصُرُ ← لِيَنْصُرَ
Example"And He is the One Who has subjected the sea, so from it you may eat tender seafood" — Quran (An-Nahl 16:14)وَهُوَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ الْبَحْرَ لِتَأْكُلُوا مِنْهُ لَحْمًا طَرِيًّا

In تَأْكُلُوا the nun of تَأْكُلُونَ has dropped.

Group B: Ma kana … li — the Lam of Denial

When li comes after a negated kana, it gives a strong denial: "was not one to / would never". Again, a hidden an after the lam makes the verb mansub.

FeatureEnglishArabic
Classical definitionThe lam of denial: it comes after a negated kanaلَامُ الْجُحُودِ الْمَسْبُوقَةُ بِكَوْنٍ مَنْفِيٍّ
Before → afterhe helps → he would never helpيَنْصُرُ ← مَا كَانَ لِيَنْصُرَ
Example"Allah would not have wronged them, but it was they who wronged themselves." — Quran (Al-'Ankabut 29:40)وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَلَٰكِنْ كَانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

The damma of يَظْلِمُهُمْ becomes a fatha: يَظْلِمَهُمْ.

Group B: Hatta — "until / so that"

You met hatta in Book One as a particle of jarr. Before a noun, the noun is majrur. Before a mudari', a hidden an makes the verb mansub.

FeatureEnglishArabic
Classical definitionA particle of end-point and jarrحَرْفُ غَايَةٍ وَجَرٍّ
What it doesBefore a verb, a hidden an makes it mansubحَتَّى + أَنْ + يَنْصُرَ
Before → afterhe helps → until he helpsيَنْصُرُ ← حَتَّى يَنْصُرَ
Example"then be patient until Allah judges between us. He is the Best of Judges." — Quran (Al-A'raf 7:87)فَاصْبِرُوا حَتَّىٰ يَحْكُمَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَنَا وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ

The damma of يَحْكُمُ becomes a fatha: يَحْكُمَ.

The Silent Alif

When the nun drops, an alif is written after the waw: يَنْصُرُونَ → لَنْ يَنْصُرُوا. This alif is not pronounced. It is there for protection — it shows that the waw belongs to the verb and is not the start of the next word.

Summary

  • A mudari' becomes mansub when a hammer (particle of nasb) comes before it
  • Group A works by itself: lan (will not), an (to / that), kay (so that) and idhan (in that case)
  • Group B works through a hidden an: li (so that), ma kana … li (was not one to) and hatta (until / so that)
  • Forms 1, 4, 7, 13 and 14: the damma becomes a fatha
  • The seven forms with the nun of i'rab: the nun drops, and a silent alif is written after the waw
  • Forms 6 and 12 never change — they are mansub in position only
  • Fa, wa and aw can also make the verb mansub, but only under conditions — they come in an advanced lesson
  • Next: Part 3 — the mudari' in the majzum state

0:00 As-salamu alaykum and welcome to our ninth lesson part two. In this lesson we're looking at specifically the particles that impact the mudarib verb and put it into the i'rab of nasab or mansub.

0:14 In the previous lesson in detail I discussed with you the changes at the end of the mudarib verb and we went through several different variations of that and explained it in detail. Please make sure you've seen that video before you were here as I'm not going to be able to repeat all the points that we made in that part of the lesson.

0:35 I know you have been waiting nearly two years for this video to come. I have not been able to make any significant recordings in that time due to not having space to record my lessons.

0:48 I've got a temporary place here alhamdulillah. I'm going to start now completing the series. All the details about the update of the project inshallah you'll find in the description. I'm not going to go through that here. Towards the end inshallah mention a few things but please keep an eye on the description section in the video where I will give you details of where you can get the notes.

1:09 The new website has been designed to help you study the material as along along with the free youtube videos that you have. So everything's there in the description and also on our website. Let us quickly move over to the lesson. Again I remind you as long as you've seen the previous lesson this inshallah will be a very beneficial lesson for us. A verb goes into the state of nasab due to being impacted by a particle.

1:36 Scholars of Arabic divide them into two groups. The main particles they call them direct they impact the mudari verb to make it mansub. There are a few other particles also which according to the scholars they have a hidden particle after them which makes it mansub. For example hatta and li you've already seen them as particles of jarb. They also use mudari verb but the scholars say there's a hidden an or there's a hidden particle after it which gives it that impact.

2:06 Nonetheless the impact is the same. What we're going to do in this lesson we're going to go through the main ones in detail with lots of examples inshallah and you will see illustrated example not only details of what meaning they add but also the changes that they make to the mudari verb.

2:23 So this will give you a comprehensive overview of all the key particles. I will focus on the most common ones of course but there is an intention to cover all of them in this session. What won't be covered is more advanced particles which deal with conditional sentence structures.

2:39 These will come inshallah in the more advanced lessons otherwise it will be too detailed for us to take at this stage. So at the end of the lesson inshallah you'll have a complete overview of the mudari verb being in mansub or nasab state.

2:56 This is a different design but essentially the same as what you saw in lesson number nine part one. What we have here is 14 verbs mudari verbs which you should be very familiar with by now which is again the example verb we'll use is nasara yansur which means he helps or he will help.

3:14 The ones with the green numbers 1, 4, 7, 13 and 14 they end with a dhamma as you can see in all cases. So this is called the rafa state of the verb or marfu state. The ones that end with a noon which you can see here are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 of them. These end with the noon of irab their noon drops but in the default state the noon is there.

3:42 There are two others which are 6 and 12 which you can see here their noon does not drop because that noon at number 6 and number 12 is not the noon of irab but the noon of femininity.

3:56 Now this has been covered in detail in the previous lesson. So normally the verbs are like this there is the standard format we can call it or we can say that this is the rafa state. So the default state is rafa for a mudari verb and it only changes due to the impact usually of a particle.

4:15 So this is the default state which we went through and of course we looked at the two changes it makes. Now in the Quran there are approximately 7 ,900 mudari verbs out of which 5 ,604 of them are in the marfu the normal standard state and 1 ,426 are in the nasab and 893 in majzoom or jazm state.

4:40 Now don't worry the english terminology please use the arabic it's a lot easier by now and you should be familiar with them. So what is the purpose what meaning do they add? Default of course is the rafa state so it's basically stating the fact of the verb whereas when it goes to nasab usually you see this kind of meaning purpose intention or direction as far as jazm majzoom which we'll deal with in the third part of the ninth

5:05 lesson they deal with negation condition and prohibition so that's an overview of what happens when those two conditions happen to be on the mudari verb the summary what we discussed in lesson number nine is on this one slide so the green ones the ones that end with the dhamma when they become mansub they change to a fatha which you can see here

5:30 the zabar so from yansuru it becomes yansura as for those that have the noon of irab and that is uh seven of them three three six and seven of them this is called the noon of arab when the particle comes the noon drops so it an additional alif is added there for protection so from from yansuruna it becomes yansuru

5:55 with an alif of protection meaning this alif is there to indicate that wow is part of the word before and then of course majzoom is with a sukoon or again exactly the same with the noon dropping and these two they do not drop their noon ever and the lock is here to remind you of that this is a slightly different way of teaching it than the classical way but i found this this is the best method for english

6:20 speaking students to understand what is going on so the default state marfo is on the right hand side mansub state is there the of course there's only three the numbers there will indicate which other follow the same pattern so this is what we have alhamdulillah from our knowledge base of lesson number nine the particles that impact on verb to make the mansub are lan

6:45 and kai and eden if they're not great because it's not used in the quran really uh in that state there are other uses of it but it is not used as man so we will do only one example and it's rarer to be used but these are the only four that directly impact as for the other particles primarily lee and then also makana lee and hatta these are hidden according

7:10 to the scholars hidden and so this and particle is hidden after that which then gives us the mansub state and there's also fa wa and ow these words are you're already familiar with but fa wa why you know means and it can also be a half of jar ow means or and farming so or thus these are these can also be used for particles of impacting

7:35 the mudara to make it mansub but they're more advanced in more conditional type of states which we are not going to cover in this lesson so what you'll have alhamdulillah the particles have ticked you're going to get an overview of them you're going to see some examples of them but like everything else in life i mentioned many many times it is through practise you'll master so you'll take the lesson make sure you use it as a reference point inshallah but more important when you come

8:00 to doing practise practise practise that's when all of this will become second nature to you so it's very important that you make notes while you're watching and of course use whichever resources you have available to you to practise my advice is always to go to the quran and start studying surahs of the quran and see now you should be able to recognise and be quite strong on the ism but also be able to recognise the mudara madhi uh verbs and more important

8:25 at least for the base form we will learn the mazid feehi later inshallah meaning more than three root letters so back to our conjugation default state of course is this when a particle comes in front whichever what happens please pay attention to the screen i'm going to show you the variations so if you watch what happens

8:50 there just keep an eye on the dhamma as soon as one of the particles comes in it becomes fatha so you can see the changes there so becomes yansura tansura tansura ansura nansura as for the other blue ones what happens the noon will disappear so you have in that number 10 tansuri the noon gone and you can see here yansura tansura tansura tansura

9:15 and of course here yansuru tansuru so that is your mansub state because of those particles how do you know it is mansub because the noon has gone missing or is no longer there as for 6 and 12 there will be no change whether it is rafa and nasab or in majzoom it will remain the same why because these are mabni they do not change so 6 and 12 do not change the blue

9:41 ones they change by removing the noon and the green ones they change by changing the dhamma to a fatha that's the actual visual change that you can see at the end of the mudar ever now in the in the previous video i mentioned to the concept of hammer and chopper so i call these hammers they're easy to remember because of the fact that they hit the dhamma and

10:06 flatten it and make it a fatha so they hit the dhamma and make flatten it to make it a fatha that just to help you remind remind you just a different way of doing it so the hammers are lan and kai even that's it these are the only four that are the major primary particles that you need to know so what do each one of them do this slide has the information inshallah

10:31 pause the video take all the notes that you want or you can even catch a picture of it there will be notes available please see the description so lan is will not or will never so when lan comes in front of the mudar ever it changes the meaning to will not it will not be done in the future or will never it has some emphasis in it also this is opposite to saying i will do this for example i will see

10:56 you tomorrow when i say i will not see you tomorrow because i'm not here for example so this is kind of meaning it gives and on the other hand is quite important because what it does it changes the mudar verb meaning not the verb itself it's meaning to a noun meaning so it adds the meaning in english for example to that turns the verb into what's called a master in arabic and that is called a verbal

11:22 noun so the meaning goes into a noun state so what we have here for example too fast or fasting these are not verbs but we can use the in front of it to give that meaning kai is very important it means so that or in order to answers a question why usually with lam it's also does the same thing we'll see that later inshallah even

11:47 really responds to something even responds to something again greyed out because it's very rarely used so why do the scholars group them together the rule each one makes the verb by itself meaning there is nothing else needed so it is by itself it does not need something from the outsides and these are the primary particles that will convert

12:12 a mudar verb from marfu to mansub so we look at each one in some detail very important in use in arabic it's a particle of course and lan comes in front of the mudar verb and denies a future action deny something will happen in the future and makes it mansub so two purposes will not will never that kind of meaning in english very commonly

12:37 given half what is this a particle of negation nasab and future time so it moves the meaning to the future and negates it in the future that's basically the simple thing that you need to know about it what does it does what does it do it basically denies a future action it is the opposite or the negative of you've learned that already i will soon i will or i will

13:02 help you or i will be there or i will go when you put lan in front it makes the other meaning i will not go that's basically what it does so he will help he will not help so if i said in arabic soon he will help or he will help lan yansura he will not help and that's what the change in meaning that you see so example we will never be patient

13:27 with one kind of food this in surah al-baqarah meaning one type of food become nasbira we will not be patient okay we'll not accept only one type of food so you can see a card this card has everything that you need to know there's no need to make detailed

13:52 notes as long as you have this point inshallah you know everything that you need to know about lan to start using it correctly there are three examples on the screen which inshallah will suffice for you to see practically how it's used i'm using simple common everyday words just to illustrate to you how it's used so there are three examples i'll go through each one inshallah now please make your own notes and make sure that you understand what is happening this

14:17 is the summary sheet let's do the first one what do we have here is the standard form what would that mean it means i leave the prayer i leave the prayer but when i put lan in front what happens to the meaning and the impact becomes lan

14:43 atrukas salata the meaning is i will not leave the prayer may allah accept this from us so i will not leave the salah that is most important thing in my life i'm not going to leave it never ever i'm going to not leave the salah so lan atrukas salata beautiful sentence may allah grant us taufiq to say that so what we have here the lan is a harf of nasab of course in this case

15:08 atruka is the mudare verb turn to mansub from the dhamma to the fatha and of course salata is the maf'ul bihi as salata i should say is the maf'ul bihi so lan before the verb changes the dhamma to fatha and becomes mansub this illustrated example inshallah will show you a the impact in the meaning and of course the change in the verb itself

15:34 lan yakhruju minal bayti so what is that let's quickly have a look at that example also minal bayti originally meaning they masculine plural go out of the house that's just a statement when we put lan in front we say lan yakhruju minal bayti they will not go out of the house so you can see what lan has done in

15:59 the meaning and of course yakhruju na the noon goes and we end up with yakhruju and there's an extra alif there please note it it is the alif of protection to make sure that you don't confuse the wow as a following word so again the three markings are there for you very clearly minal bayti should recognise as jar majroor which we learned in book one lan before the verb

16:24 drops the noon the verb becomes mansub so if we say the noon is gone why has it gone is gone because of the presence of lan impacting on the mudara verb and again i repeat the change in meaning is they will not go out of the house next example lan yal'abna fishari so we have here yal'abna

16:49 please pay attention to that fishari who is this they feminine plural you should note that's the noon that does not change in the street the noon of plural here will not change and therefore lan coming after will not change the ending it will remain the same lan yal'abna next fishari and then we have the change of meaning they will

17:14 not play in the street so we have the particle we have the mansub now alhamdulillah and of course jar majroor is just coming at the end so lan cannot change this form the noon stays but the verb still is mansub why do we say it is mansub because the presence of lan so it is not just here in terms of visual change but the meaning has impacted

17:39 because presence of lan and this one is not changed mabni so not changed but it still is in mansub state the next particle is an an very commonly used in the quran 420 times and again exactly the same as lan but the meaning is significantly different here so an to or that is the most common english translation you're going to get or an ing noun i'll

18:04 explain that inshallah what that means um a particle of master nasab of the future time this is according to the scholars and turns the verb into a verbal noun master verbal noun that you fast so for example is exactly the same as saying you're fasting so it turns the meaning

18:29 into a noun type meaning so he helps that he helps will be the english translation so will give it a noun type meaning it has still remained a verb please note that the verbal rules will apply but the meaning will be noun type meaning and finally the quranic example you can see of

18:54 it being used and i fear i fear then we have the normally and coming yeah meaning the wolf and i fear that the wolf will eat him i fear that the wolf would eat him or will eat

19:19 him so you can see here the use of it exactly the same as the other particles but the meaning is a verbal noun type meaning so we have also three examples for you to go through inshallah we're going through each one in detail so our first example with an is let's look at that in detail means

19:45 i memorised the quran meaning in the future tense so we have here the full meaning the meaning now change i wish to memorise the quran i wish to which is the meaning comes from and then we have so

20:12 what is the main labelling here you can see alhamdulillah particle and the object so and before the verb changes the dhamma to fatha and it becomes exactly the same principle that the meaning here is significantly different example number two we have yeah so there is the noon missing and

20:37 the lesson so let's look at what's happening here originally meaning they understand the lesson and of course when we put an in front we get the meaning of we'll get the change of noon gone and leaves there and of course they are able

21:02 to understand the lesson meaning they understand the lesson statement here they're able to understand is the change in meaning so the particle and of course this one has a object so this is your second example of the use of an so we have now broken it down we can

21:27 see the oncoming is in red colour so let's see what happens that should tell you a hint already what's happening here they study arabic female plural of course and then when we put an in front what happens no change but the meaning has already changed the meaning is they wish to study arabic i yeah or

21:53 if you read it together of course yeah so what do we got here we got our labels again the half of the beginning then the and of course not changed on this occasion and it is the object and that's why it is nestled so we have a full picture of our third example one additional point about and has

22:18 variations of it sometimes it merges with other words to give us additional meaning but the an is there in the first example and these are all quranic examples please do look them up in the first example we have an on its own which you can see here and then we have here so that not what is that is a combination of an and la joined together

22:43 and then we have li alla again li an and la written like so so it has three parts combined together these are called merged words meaning that originally there was more than one word but in writing and in reading because they're short words they've became merged an lan an lan so this is an plus lan coming together that will never

23:08 so these are subtle differences of use of an in arabic you need to learn them as you come across them just i'm including them here because they're also because of the presence of an within the word they'll have the same grammatical impact and again i'd advise you to take your time and look at them in the quran so kai is another particle which does exactly the same thing as grammatical impact but its main meaning is

23:33 so that in order to classical definition a particle of master and nasab so there's two things here going on of course give the purpose of the action why this action is being done he helps so that he helps example so that he knows nothing after having known so

24:00 that he knows nothing after having known so this is the kind of use of it of course this is a quranic example our first example of kai that we're looking at is yes yes means he hears the lesson he went to the mosque so that yes so that

24:25 to hear the lessons so without kai is yes so what happens when we add kai in this case we have he went to the masjid in order to hear the the imam was delivering a lesson he went to the mosque for that purpose so you have your exactly the same as kai it just lee has been added in front of it we

24:55 have here kai coming before the meaning originally was they write the lesson when we put kai in what do we have the meaning becomes they sat down so that they could write the lesson so alhamdulillah the three labels here indicate very clearly so

25:20 you can see there is no difference in usage in terms of grammatical impact the slight variations in meaning of course is what the also adding third example so what happens with before the meaning of course of that part would be they get tired and then we have coming there

25:45 is no change to the word at all yet but is still mansub and the meaning change they sat down so that they would not get tired so you can see here is combination of three words lee kai is the one we're learning la so it's the kai is still impacting but it's a combination word of three different words coming together so kai like and can have variation

26:10 we have kai on its so that we have lee kai so that in order to and then kai la so that not gives a double meaning there lee kai la lee kai la is exactly the same there's two different ways of writing it and it's used in the quranic script again you have your reference points there so alhamdulillah there is nothing again you can see with kai so we've done lan

26:35 and we've done kai these are the three there's only one more left which is even even means in that case it's really a response particle it's used for responding it's not used primarily in the quran as that but i'll give you one example from everyday arabic i will visit you tomorrow then i will honour you

27:00 meaning you come to my house i will honour you so we have before i honour you we add here and then what happens here we have which means in that case i will honour you so what is the part here we have and of course this is now in mansoob the part and

27:26 then the car is the attached pronoun so grammatically is exactly the same rarely used but nonetheless it's more of a response particle which is used in everyday arabic the rest we're going to go quickly through exactly the same principle these we are not going to cover here inshallah in the future lessons we'll look at them because they are very frequently used in arabic in so many different ways and they deserve a more dedicated

27:51 lesson in the future so the first one is li is basically a particle which you've already come across for example in harf of jar it can also be used with mudari verb with a hidden again the li is still there as an additional part of it before was not want to or would never hatta

28:16 until so that again hatta you've come across before as a harf of jar another use of it is in front of mudari verbs fa wa aw are all conditional and they have of course many other uses we will look at them later but they're listed here in this category so you have a complete reference point so the first one is li and this is called laam ut ta'aleel and of course it's also known as harf laam

28:41 kay is another name for it the laam of purpose a preposition normally in use and here it is also used as a preposition but it has this additional impact on the mudari verb so we have for example he here the in the table you can see li yan sura li an yan sura so combined of the three and because the an is between

29:06 hidden before and after yan suru he helps becomes li yan sura so that he helps so the li example a little bit more detailed illustrated now we have here you eat fresh meat from it mean the flesh of the fish is halal to you of course and this

29:31 is the meaning it's coming here this is referred to in the fish in the sea and of course the li is there what is the li doing li ta'akulu so the kuluna the noon bit goes so you can see alhamdulillah it is he who subjected the sea so that you eat fresh meat from it referring to the flesh of the fish and the three parts you can see

29:56 alhamdulillah are illustrated so exactly the same as we've seen with the other particles but here the scholars say after li an is hidden and that is why it is doing that to the mudari verb its meaning is there of course but the li is the same particle as you've seen as a harf of jar ma kaana also precedes li was not one to or would never as a kind of meaning it gives classical definition would

30:21 be the laam of comes after a negated kaana a hidden and after the laam makes it makes the verb mansub that's the principle behind it so the meaning for example yansuru he helps ma kaana li yansura would be he would never help so you can see here and coming in afterwards which is hidden an example of it is from the quran

30:46 here which we will look at now so we have so the example we have from the quran let's quickly look at that that is the normal form he wrongs them but what we have here ma kaana allahu so wa ma

31:11 not kaana allahu at the beginning of that li yazlimahum not yazlimuhum yazlimahum because of the li and allah was not one to wrong them but they wrong themselves allah did not wrong anyone they wronged themselves by disobeying allah subhana wa ta'ala so we have the kaana any subject

31:36 the laam of denial and the mudare mansub coming after i appreciate these are all advanced examples but i'm trying to give you a comprehensive lesson if you have done the previous lessons most of this you would already know inshallah ta'ala hatta is also another one where an is hidden afterward the meaning we've already seen with is until so that and the classical definition is particle of

32:01 end point and jar we've seen it's used already as half of jar in book one what it does before a verb a hidden an makes it mansub before a noun the noun is in jar so in front of a noun of course it's just a half of jar before a mudara verb hidden an would make it mansub so hatta can be used with verbs also before he helps until

32:26 he helps and of course we have a quranic example so we will look at that now inshallah ta'ala we have yahkumu allahu baynana yahkumu allahu baynana allah judge between us and then of course hatta coming in at the beginning will change yahkuma yahkuma allahu baynana and

32:51 the translation is so be patient until allah judges between us he is the best of judges so we have hatta we have the particle first we have the mudara mansub and we have the subject subject and the adverb coming afterwards and finally the end part is also a combination of the doer as well as the adverb coming after hatta before the verb

33:16 a hidden and makes it mansub very simple principle inshallah lastly again i remind you wa fa aw etc these are very specific subjects which can be dealt with in advanced lessons we've already seen their usage already wa we've seen aw etc but their use in conditional and other particles inshallah will be seen if allah grants tawfiq

33:41 in book three we will look take a comprehensive view of these more advanced topics the lesson is already longer than i expected so i'll conclude it here inshallah that is all you need to know in the next lesson we are going to go and look at the mudare verb which is majzoom state which will be a lesson number nine part three before we do i conclude here i just
