- In this part of the lesson, we will learn the cases of the Diptotes In-Shā’-Allâh (God Willing) i.e.,
إعْرَابُ الأَسْمَاءِ الْمَمْنُوعَةِ مِنَ الصَّرْفِ
- Unlike the ordinary nouns, "The Diptotes" do not take double vowel mark. Similarly, Diptotes do not take /Kasrah/ in the genitive case.
- We know that
the noun takes the genitive case i.e., single /Kasrah/ if it is definite –
e.g. مِنَ الْجَامِعَةِ and double /Kasrah/ if it is
indefinite e.g. فِي مَسْجِدٍ, when it is in the possessive
expression (annexation) or when it is preceded by a preposition.
- However diptotes اَلْمَمْنُوعُ مِنَ الصَّرْفِ take /fatħah/ instead of a /Kasrah/ if in genitive case. We have already learnt in the previous lesson i.e., (Lesson 20 section 4) that Diptotes are those nouns or adjectives which never take /tanwīn/ i.e., Double Vowel Mark. So whenever a diptote noun is preceded by a preposition or is /Muđâf Ilaihi/ it will take a /fatħah/ instead of a /Kasrah/ - for example - Ahmad's book i.e., كِتَابُ أَحْمَدَ
- The same is the case with all the other groups of diptotes we have learnt so far.
- Let’s take some examples for this rule:
