- In this lesson we will learn about the vowel ending of the masculine nouns resembling the feminine nouns In-Shā’-Allâh (God-Willing). We have learnt that the feminine nouns have no tanwīn on their last letter e.g.: آمِنَةُ، فَاطِمَةُ، عَائِشَةُ etc. Similarly there are certain masculine proper nouns that have ة (tā’ marbūŧah) as their last letter - therefore they also do not have tanwīn on their last letter, e.g.: حَمْزَةُ، مُعَاوِيَةُ، حَنْظَلَةُ etc.
- Let’s take some examples to better understand the rule:
