ELEMENTARY GRAMMAR OF THE HOLY QURAN

ELEMENTARY GRAMMAR OF THE HOLY QURAN Introduction It s very tragic that most of us recite the Holy Quran, the word of ALLAH, the book of instructions, the only Source of authentic knowledge, without understanding it. We offer Salat, reciting passages in Arabic which we do not mean, because again we do not understand what we say. In our worldly life, for nominal financial and social benefits, we take pains even in old age, to learn any language imposed on us. We spend hundreds and thousands of rupees on private tuitions for our children, to make them understand highly complicated subjects of Mathematics and Science, but when the problem of understanding the Holy Quran is posed, we are indifferent. Are we not answerable for this indifferent attitude of ours? Yes! It is in response to this fear that this work has been prepared so as to help the English knowing readers of the Holy Quran in learning basic important rules of grammer used in the Holy Quran. The Holy Quran contains 1800 and odd basic root words which have been repeated in a variety of grammatic forms. Some of these words convey more than one meaning. All these words add up to 2000 and odd. If one learns the meanings of these 2000 and odd words and the grammatic rules to use them correctly in framing sentences, then, Insha Allah, in due course of time, he may be able to understand

nearly the whole of the Holy Quran without the help of any translation and he may also be able to offer his Salat knowing the meaning of every word he recites. Aren t these great temptations to understand, memorise and digest this small book? May Allah help us, in fulfilling this desire with the sole aim of practically implementing all that we understand, and there by achieve success and happiness in this world and in the hereafter.

- ع ب د ف ع ل ف ع ل - ع ب د He worshipped He did The meaning, gender, number, tense etc. of any root word can be altered, by adding appropriate alphabets in the beginning, middle or at the end and also by changing the signs above and below each alphabets. ا ق ت ل I murder Murderer We murdered He murdered ق ات ل ق ت ل ن ا ق ت ل ق ت ل He was murdered Thus from a single 3 lettered root word numerous other words can be derived but the basic meaning of the root words is normally retained in some form or the other. There are 8 signs which are marked above or below an alphabet to produce sounds shown below : u, as in who a, as in far e, as in seen un, as in dhun an, as in run in, as in pin.

or are used for abrupt stop, as in cut ف ع ل ت for repeating the sound of an alphabet as in running, ال له.
