Welcome back to our class here on clear
Arabic.
A number of people have mentioned to me
that this, they found this class a little
bit difficult or cumbersome
or frustrating, and I just want to remind
people that this class is for,
honestly, a specific group of students that I
have.
I've made it public so it's easier for
them to access.
But also,
we have to begin to push ourselves. Like,
nobody complains
about things that they're not so want to
do.
And religion
has always been
maintained by working hard. Allah says about the
Quran,
Like, you have to make jihad on your
soul
to engage the Quran.
So don't get frustrated and and perhaps this
is too advanced for you. That's fine. It's
okay.
Feel free to study and get yourself strong
and then come back
but understand that this is for
a specific group of students who have
religious vocation as one of their goals in
life. May Allah make it easy for them.
Last time we talked about Aljumlah tul Feria,
the first foundational
sentence being the verb sentence because it starts
with the verb.
Now we're going to be talking about.
The noun sentence.
Let's take
a look at some of these examples here.
Examples.
The
house
was wide.
The weather is moderate.
It's mild weather.
The dust
has spread everywhere.
The dirt has spread everywhere.
This is a word these these words you're
gonna use a lot in speaking
as well as reading.
Is the street.
Is is,
you know, it's it's clogged, it's crowded.
Right?
That the path
is
constricted.
Which is a rat,
The rat is hid is hidden.
Right? It's hidden from sight.
If you look at all of these sentences,
you'll see that they begin with Alif Lam.
Ipno Marik says
In alfiyat al Numeric.
When Sayidna Imam Jamar Ad Din al Numeric,
when he talks about the signs of a
noun, he says,
One of the signs of a noun is
aliflam.
Whoever wants to, you know, identify
liver as the liver
l. So the purpose of l here indicates
a noun, but also when you wanna specify
something.
And that's why usually when you introduce a
noun initially, you would like it's it's best
to introduce it without aliflam.
So you introduce it with tanween, which is
going to be
the,
of course, the indefinite article.
And then follow it up with the adiflim.
So I could say to you like,
Although there are times
where a sentence
can begin with a word that has aliflame
because it's so obvious and it's so well
known. For example,
But usually, we introduce a topic with tanween
and then we add alif and them.
So So for example, said Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala says in Surat Muzammil,
You see the second one?
It's the same messenger,
Musa alayhis salatu salam, but the introduction of
the noun idea starts with tanween.
This is very important in composition.
But here, what we're looking at is each
one of these sentences
starts with.
The the the the the the. That means
that those words are nouns.
Sayyidna Imam,
ibn Malik in his Alfiya says that aliflam
is the sign of a noun.
The writers write that each one of these
examples, these previous examples,
all of them
are beneficial
complete sentences.
They say that in the previous examples,
all of them are complete sentences, and each
one of them
consist or is constructed
from 2 nouns.
First
is The first noun is
the So
is
the
is the is the is the is the
is the
is the
is
the
is
the is a
is a
is
a
And the second word is what's called
the.
What informs us about the.
And also this becomes very important because
the is
and usually the is the
So.
Right? So pork is what? Haram. So you
see here the purpose of the haber
is to
inform you about the to
tell you about it either through
we'll talk about that later, the different type
of relationships that come between them.
Then both writers say,
Because each one of these sentences
starts with a noun,
these sentences are called
noun
sentences.
Here's the rule.
You can say like
So any sentence
which is constructed
with a and
a,
it is called a noun sentence. Remember that.
Is is a noun.
Is a noun.
Here are our drills now.
The first
Say,
compose
a noun sentence
by placing
after these.
So
the day tree.
The school is open.
The
the
the the garment is long.
Shoes.
The camel.
An elephant.
A snake.
Is
the servant.
Your job is to put after
each one of these.
The second drill,
Compose
noun sentences
by placing a haber
after the.
Sorry. By placing a in
front of these habers, these.
So
for example, the weather is nice.
The food is bitter.
Circular.
Tall.
Fast.
Beautiful.
A very important word, ferocious.
Scared.
From the east.
It's dark.
Jaffoon
Jaffoon, dry.
Means it's cold outside.
Actually,
means to be, like, bright,
to be shiny.
Next drill,
So what you wanna do is you wanna
look at these words. You wanna find the
word that's a and you wanna find the
word that can be its.
So for example,
you could say,
The door is shut.
The door is shut.
The fire is blazing. So here's the
here's the here's the
here's
the here's the. You wanna do that
with the rest of these words.
The next drill,
So what you wanna do is make 6
sentences.
Right? And you want to have a and
a.
Okay? 2 of them should be about human
beings. 2 of them should be about animals.
2 of them should be about plants and
vegetation.
Next,
Distinguish
the verb sentence from the noun sentence.
And identify once you've done that, able to
say this is a noun sentence, this is
a verb sentence,
then you need to be able to recognize
the and
the
or the verb and the subject of the
verb. Let's take a few just to practice.
So
for example,
if I say,
the water is like pure.
Right?
Or like standing, but it's understood to be
pure.
Let's say is the is the
the haber. This is a noun sentence.
If I say, for example,
This is a verb. This is a verb
sentence.
This is the fa the fail.
This is the fail.
So it gets exceedingly hot
during the summertime.
Your job is to identify what type of
sentence it is. The and the or the
and the.
This is one of the most important drills
in this section.
This is the key to everything.
This is actually is a fun drill to
do if you like.
Means change
change
the noun sentence
a verb sentence.
So
the boy is sleeping. You can say
So I took the and the and I
turned it into a verb sentence. This is
very important.
Very important.
Okay? So what you wanna be able to
do is take these and
turn them into
the
and the
if you can into the
It's fun.
Next,
Now you're gonna do the opposite. You're gonna
take these verb sentences
and turn them into
noun sentences.
So you can say
This, you can do this on your own
if you can kinda figure out what's going
on.
We're gonna stop here, Naktafi Behadah,
But this is very important.
Very, very important section of the text, and
I hope you take it seriously and you're
able to do well and perform well.
Next time inshallah, we're going to start to
talk about what makes
a imperfect verb in the nusbu case.
Right? That it takes
