Part#9 Nominal Sentence "Jumlatun Ismiatu"




Sentence (Jumlatun) : Group of words which collectively make a complete sense.
Phrase (Shibu Jumlati) : Group of words which doesnot make a complete sense.

In Arabic there are two types of Sentences:
1. The Nominal Sentence (Al-Jumlatu Ismiatu)
2. The Verbal Sentence (Al-Jumlatu Failu)

Lets Start with "AL-JUMLATU-ISMIATU" (THE NOMINAL SENTENCE):
*It consist of two parts
1. Mubtada (Subject : Noun)
2. Khabar (Predicate: Detail about Noun)

EXPLAINATION:
In English for common sentences we say like:
- The house is beautiful.
- The car is new.
- The boy is intelligent.
- Ahmad is a student.
- Aminah is a teacher.

Note (Subjects):
The house, The car, The boy, Ahmad, Aminah : All are definite.

Note (Predicate):
Since 'beautiful', 'new', 'intelligent' these are adjective so we dont need to add 'a' before them. But 'a student', 'a teacher' : Means these are Indefinite.

CONCLUSION:

RULE#1 For Nominal Sentences:
MUBTADA (Subject) will be DEFINITE most of the time. And KHABAR (Predicate) will be INDEFINITE most of the time.

RULE#2 For Nominal Sentences:
MUBTADA will always be MARFU. And KHABAR will always be MARFU

KEYS:
*MARFU : A word ends with Damma (Single or Tanween)
*Single Vowel Sign: For Definite
*Tanween: For Indefinite.
*Proper Nouns are always DEFINITE no matter ends with single vowel sign or tanween.
*Demonstrative Pronouns (Ismul-Isharati) are always DEFINITE.

LETS EXAMINE FEW EXAMPLES FROM IMAGE2:

1. AHMADUN TALIBUN : Ahmad is a student.
2. HA'ZA BAITUN: This is a house.
4. AL-MUDARISU WAQIFUN : The teacher is standing.
6. AL-MASJIDU QAREEBUN : The mosque is near.

Part#6 Kinds of Hamza


There are two kinds of Hamza(In the Shape of ALIF):
1. Hamza-tul-Wasl
2. Hamza-tu-Qatah

**************
HAMZA-TUL-WASL
**************
1. Neck of AIN is not necessary on Hamza but still it produces its sound.
2. When a letter WAO (as ATAF 'and') added in front of a word starting with hamza-tul-wasl, sound of hamza get hidden.

Examples: (See Image)
AL-KITABU (The Book) : Aa sound at the start of the word represents Hamza-tul-Wasl; now add WAO (as ATAF 'and')
WAL-KITABU (And the Book) : Now starting sound is of Waa (thats of WAO), then it attaches to sound of 'Laam' becomes "WAL" means there will be no sound of Hamza-tul-Wasl.

Similarly:
AL-QALAMU (The Pen) ==> WAL-QALAMU (And the Pen)

Note:
In "AL-KITABU" (HAMZA with Neck of Ain and single Fatah 'Not Necessarily shown', LAAM with Sukoon 'Not necessarily shown)

In "AL-QALAMU" (HAMZA with Neck of Ain and single Fatah 'Not Necessarily shown', LAAM with Sukoon 'Not necessarily shown)


***************
HAMZA-TUL-QATAH
***************
1. Neck of AIN is necessary on Hamza and it also produces its sound.
2. When a letter WAO (as ATAF) added in front of a word starting with hamza-tul-Qatah, sound of hamza still there.

Examples: (See Image)
AKBAR : Aa sound at the start of the word represents Hamza-tul-Qatah; now add WAO (as ATAF)
Wa-AKBAR (And AKBAR) : Now starting sound is of Waa (thats of WAO), then AKBAR means Hamza-tul-Qatah sound is still there in pronouncing AKBAR (Aa'KBAR).

Similarly:
