is a lm with a fathah prefixed to the mubtada for the sake of emphasis, e.g.




And indeed the remembrance of Allah is the greatest ` (Quran, 29:45)


And indeed a believing slave girl is better than a mushrikah

when though she might be pleasing to you` (Quran, 2:221).


This lm is not to be confused with the preposition

which has a kasrah, but takes a fathah when

( to slide, glide, slip and to roll =
We have seen lm al-ibtid e.g.
Now we want to use

also in this sentence, the lm has to be pushed to the khabar,

as two particles of emphasis cannot come together in one place.


So the sentence becomes

Indeed your house is more beautiful.

After its removal from its original position the lm is no longer called lm al-ibtid . It is now called

( the displaced lm ) or for easy remembrance ( the skating lm! ).

and the lm is more emphatic than the one with

The Unique Characteristic of the Second Radical -

Arabic verbs are generally composed of three letters. The scholars of the Arabic grammar call these letters as
THREE RADICALS. Verbs composed of three radicals are called

The second radical -


The third radical -

In other words, one can say that in the three letter verbs all the action takes place on the second radical

. This is very nicely and beautifully explained in the following verses.

Types of Khabar

Original (noun of action, infinitive)


Interpreted Original
ALMASDAR ALMUAVVAL = (

In English it is called the Verbal Noun. It is a noun formed from a verb but NOT serving as the verb of the
sentence. There are three types of verbal nouns in English, namely:
1. Infinitive
2. Participle
3. Gerund.
(For our understanding of ALMASDAR ALMUAVVAL, we will study only the Infinitives and the Gerunds.)
Infinitives: It is a verb form having the characteristics of both verb and noun and usually being used with to. The
infinitive starts with the word to and is followed by the base form of the verb (the form you would look if you
were looking the word up in a dictionary).
* To learn Arabic is Muhammads goal. (to learn is an infinitive which acts as the subject of the sentence.)
*Muhammad wants to memorize the Quran. (to memorize is an infinitive which acts as the direct object of the
verb wants - Wants what? wants to memorize).
We could say, then, the infinitive is a verb Noun.
It is like a noun because:
a) it can be the subject,
b) it can be the object of a verb.
It is like a verb because:
1) it expresses an action,
2) it can have an object.
An Infinitive can be the subject of a verb or an object. It may be governed by an adverb or by a preposition. If the
Infinitive is formed from a transitive verb it can take an object.
Gerunds: There is another part of the verb, besides the infinitive, that is partly a noun and partly a verb. It always
ends in ing; e.g. running, reading, talking. It is called the GERUND.
Gerunds end in ing and serve as nouns.
*Swimming is good for health. (Swimming is a Gerund serving as the subject of the sentence). One can also
change swimming to to swim. (To swim is good for health)
*Fatima loves cooking Biryani. (Cooking is a Gerund, acting as a direct object of the verb loves - loves what? =
loves cooking Biryani). One can also change cooking to to cook. (Fatima loves to cook Biryani.)
A Gerund can be the subject of a verb or an object. It may be governed by an adverb or by a preposition. If the
gerund is formed from a transitive verb it can take an object.
Please read carefully the hand out of the AMASDAR ALMUAVVAL in Arabic and see how the infinitive and
gerund are formed in Arabic Language which is equal to:

The Syntax and the Morphology or Accidence


Morphology or Accidence =

Syntax =

It deals with the study of words outside the


sentence

It deals with the construction of the


sentence (i.e., sentence structure).

Dictionary meaning:

Dictionary meaning:

Morphology is a study and description of


the word formation in a language.

Syntax is the way in which words are put


together to form phrases, clauses or
sentences.

Accidence is a part of grammar that deals


with inflections.
Inflection is the change of form that words
undergo to mark case, gender, number,
tense, person, mood or voice.

In Arabic it deals with different forms of


words such as:
a) Singulars / Plurals
b)
c)
d)
e)
f)
