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
Matsuura, which is the LF that takes the form of a and I said
earlier it takes this 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 you know, this is
the, it becomes a if a suffix is added. 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, for me is 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 year is given to 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 Mark Surah Elif 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 the edit 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
go with the dagger F 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. Alright, now let's go to our
reading. We now are on sudut l Bayona, 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 kifaru kav are well. Let's let's
leave aside the meaning for now and just look at the letters. This
this Elif here is not covered while this is covered ru this is
just a placeholder to show that it's plural. Min. l
Elif 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. Their tooth rock calf yet known as machete kin more of a
kin meme known for KEF 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 LF had had an L
add ins until
alright 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 fear evident around the you see here there's a yeah
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
cause she yet here again? No two dagger LFS no dagger Elif. Okay,
so it's pronounced as Yeah, because she yet
let me now take you to suit a 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 a 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 Carla, again dagger Elif color
Elif Matsuura cough lamb and the is tucked under the lamp when an
urquiola to Chiron like Amina Gula.
Again, yeah, it's tucked under the lamp and it's pronounced as the
Elif well as Sophie or 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 dot and this is acting as the
beginning of the end the truth of the dot
and let me adjudicate him.
Again here a good example of Elif Matsuura. Well why did that cabal
for hada again, Elif Matsuura well why did the Elan
another I live Matsuura, this time the shape is tucked under the
noon. So this is acting as the beginning of the end the tip of
the noon.

McFadden. 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 LF and yet
