Shadee Elmasry – Lesson 12 Alif in the shape of a yaa…how and why

			For him, we now come to something
that is one of the harder things
		

			for readers to get used to. And
that is something called Elif
		

			Matsuda, which is the Elif that
takes the form of a and I said
		

			earlier it takes this it be it is
this amphibian
		

			amphibious letter, because it has
to have two functions. And the
		

			function is that when a suffix is
added to such a word, then it must
		

			be
		

			give it transforms from an LF into
a year. You see here what I'm
		

			circling is the F, okay? But it
becomes a yet. Alright, and this
		

			is the, it becomes a if a suffix
is added. Alright, so this is
		

			what, that's the reason why that
is the reason why the shape of the
		

			letter is a Yep, with a little
Elif, on top of this is called the
		

			dagger edit. Okay, so again, it's
amphibious, or it takes I mean,
		

			amphibious, I'm just using that
word here. That means obviously
		

			means land and water. But what
I'm, what I mean here, it takes us
		

			dual form, because it has to
function as both letters. Okay? So
		

			when you add a suffix, it has to
become a yet, but otherwise, it's
		

			an edit. So whenever you see this,
you have to pronounce. You
		

			pronounce it as if it's an LF. And
whenever you see this in the
		

			Quran, you pronounce it as a Yeah.
Okay, II. Now, I have to I try to
		

			make things easy, but in this
case, you're gonna have to
		

			actually use you know, exert some
memory here and realize that there
		

			is a little bit of a problem.
Okay. And that problem exists
		

			because everywhere else, they've
taken on a different system.
		

			They've taken on a system where
the Elif Okay, when you pick up a
		

			book of Hadith or literature, the
Elif is given this shape
		

			and the yen is given two dots. So
if you don't see two dots, you
		

			pronounce it as an edit everywhere
else and every other literature,
		

			okay, only in the Quran. And in
the old Egyptian publications is
		

			the simply this without any dots.
And this is the LF at the end of
		

			the word. Elif MK surah and if in
the form of elephant yeah combined
		

			everywhere else which is most of
the publication of Islamic works
		

			comes out of Lebanon now Beirut.
		

			It's this is a yet and this is
that if and I have been advocating
		

			for years, okay, that why don't we
just for the publishing houses,
		

			use this, both this one and this
one, this one that I'm pointing to
		

			with my mouse, the for the Edit,
and this one and eliminate these
		

			two, because they're not from the
Quran I'm talking about from
		

			regular books, eliminate these two
because there are no distinctive
		

			markers. So just eliminate this
one.
		

			When you publish, and when you
publish, you want to write
		

			something that ends with an Elif
that needs to take the shape of a
		

			yet use this one and when you want
to publish a yet use this, okay?
		

			So there are when you want to use
the use this one, so but the point
		

			is you as readers of the Quran
must only worry about these two,
		

			okay, which is the Elif
		

			guy with the dagger edit on top of
the yet versus no dagger at when
		

			you start reading Hadith and when
we start reading this regular
		

			texts that are not the Quran, then
you're going to have to recognize
		

			this guy that the LF and the R
		

			written in different ways. Okay,
so this is one of the tricky
		

			things that people need to
recognize and know that when
		

			they're reading that there's
they're spelled and they're
		

			written in different ways. All
right, now let's go to our
		

			reading. We now are on Surah Al
bayyinah, which is the first Surah
		

			that will take us into two
different pages. So this will be
		

			the first time we'll be scrolling
down to another page. And we are
		

			now looking for the LF Matsuura
okay the LF in the form of a yet
		

			alright let me icon Alladhina
Cafaro Kapha Well, let's let's
		

			leave aside the meaning for now
and just look at the letters. This
		

			this L of here is not covered
while this is covered ru this is
		

			just a placeholder to show that
it's plural. Min. L
		

			L if Hamza hurt lamb l kita.
Here's a dagger lf l kita. Well,
		

			Mushrikeen Well, lf lamb mean
sheen. That's the third stripe of
		

			the sheen. There tooth rock calf
yet known and machete kin more of
		

			a kin meme known fat calf yet
noon. And you notice here that I
		

			did effect move Akina
		

			and here was our first Elif
Matsuura had the you pronounce
		

			You do not pronounce this idea yet
you pronounce this Elif had had an
		

			add ins until
		

			all right now let's skip ahead.
Instead of going word for word and
		

			looking but let me show you two
examples. And they come at the
		

			bottom here. FIA evident raw the
you see here there's a yet and
		

			there is no dagger lf that means I
pronounced you right around the
		

			aisle the Allahu Anhu what are the
one that he can even kushy yet?
		

			Here again, no two dagger
additives, no dagger and if, okay,
		

			so it's pronounced as Yeah,
because she yet
		

			let me now take you to sort of
Baja which has a number of Elif
		

			Matsuura examples. This is the
best example to show you the Elif
		

			MK surah and it is Surah to Baja.
So we had to skip a little bit.
		

			Okay to take us to sort of Baja
and here you have what Baja you
		

			see that?
		

			That is the hat connected to the
the is tucked under the hat and
		

			there's the lf there's the
Dagoretti well Baja well lately
		

			either sagia
		

			again Dagoretti if and the and
that yeah, shape is tucked under
		

			the Jeem met with DACA bukhoma
Kala, again dagger Elif color Elif
		

			Matsuura cough lamb and the is
tucked under the lamp with an
		

			earth euro to Chiron like Amina
Gula.
		

			Again, yeah, it's tucked under the
lamp and it's pronounced as the
		

			Elif. Well, Sophie are the kind of
book for Tarot ball.
		

			It's again Elif, and the only
reason that it's given a med. B is
		

			because it's followed by Hamza,
and we'll discuss that later into
		

			the week. So don't worry about
don't worry about this tilde right
		

			here. This is what you need to
concern yourself this Elif Matsuda
		

			this. So, they will will show you
what the meaning of that is later,
		

			but that is a year tucked under
the BOD and this is acting as the
		

			beginning of the end the truth of
the dot.
		

			And let me adjudicate EMA.
		

			Again here a good example of Elif
Matsuura. Well why does that cabal
		

			for hada again Elif Matsuura which
is
		

			another I live macules time the
yet shape is tucked under the
		

			noon. So this is acting as the
beginning of the end the tip of
		

			the noon
		

			familia team of Allah Takahara
Illa phillotson Harwell Nabina
		

			Muhammad big have had it. So those
are some good examples of the Elif
		

			Matsuura, which is when you see
the dagger lf you pronounce it as
		

			an LF, not as a yet, but you know
that the reason it's done like
		

			this is that if a suffix or a pro
of a pronoun of possession or any
		

			type of suffix is added, then that
will have to transform into a yet
		

			that's why it's taking the dual
shape of f and yet
