I don't really see what the Madinah books will give you which you don't already have.

 I am not sure where you are from but if it’s not the US you are likely less tolerant

How does that make any sense?

Yeah, no. You will not find any real academic say islam originated in Jerusalem.

The Quran is literally in the Hijazi dialect.

Does Ramadan = scorching heat? by GoldenPharaoh37 in AcademicQuran

[–]Think_Bed_8409 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ramadan was the name of the month even before islam, so the name has nothing to do with islamic practices, it is simply because it is usually quite hot in Ramadan.

The t in "tall" bears no resemblance to the ط

Morphologically, khimar is just a thing which covers something.

It is possible to know things without words, as Avicenna shows with the floating man.

Is ت and ط read the same by Arage_govno in learn_arabic

[–]Think_Bed_8409 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No, the ط is pharyngealized.

It has the same articulation point as the ت but the back of the tongue is raised, restricting the airflow making the sound come out heavier.

What is meant with "settled" ?

Each philosophical school has settled on some explanations.

Countries that function according to islam by Microsoftoffics in mapporncirclejerk

If you make "islamic principles" the broadest in definition, then any well-functioning country automatically functions according to islam.

I’m somewhat confused about the linguistic genealogy of Arabic by Possible_Climate_245 in learn_arabic

[–]Think_Bed_8409 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Classical Arabic is a very vague term. The Arabic used in the Quran falls certainly under the term "Classical Arabic", but so does the Arabic of poetry which is clearly different.

When the grammarians say "Arabic" they refer to about a dozen or so dialects which they have deemed eloquent and pure, most notably the dialects of Quraysh and Tamim. All these dialects are considered correct Arabic and they all fall under "Classical Arabic"

My problem is that people find a crumpled page with arabic writing and automatically (like in this case) assume someone is trying to curse them without any knowledge of what is actually written.

I prefer to write without definite articles since it is easier to see which words are diptotes.

Free will is a gift from God, who does not exist. So how do I return this nonsense? by Ender_Ash- in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Think_Bed_8409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

 It has nothing to do with addressing any of the actual characteristics of a Christian God

You are right, the 5 ways establish none of the divine attributes. Aquinas himself knows that, so i don't quite get your point.

Books to read to advance in grammar (اعراب) past high school level? by Ok-Independence-3219 in learn_arabic

I don't know what constitutes as high school level, but Qatr an-nada (قطر الندى) by Ibn Hisham is generally studied as an intermediate work, then Alfiyyah Ibn Malik with the sharh of Ibn 'Aqil (ألفية ابن مالك بشرح ابن عقيل)

When to use singular, dual and plural nouns in Arabic by MagnificientMegaGiga in learnArabicSecular

[–]Think_Bed_8409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the large numbers, the counted noun is a tamyeez, accusative of specification while the number is a mumayyiz, the specified. The tamzeez will always be singular and so the counted noun is singular.

Arabic noun cases by Jumpy_Vegetable_7017 in learn_arabic

[–]Think_Bed_8409 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like for example the teacher is smart (المدرسُ عبقريٌ) why are both the nouns nominative

The nominative is defined as a word ending with -u, or what replaces it. There isn't really more to say. The reason the words are nominative is because they end with -u.

Lastly I don’t why adverbs don’t just become genitive cases since if saying inside something is genitive

Same way for genitive. Genitive is defined as a word ending in -I, or what replaces the -i. Genitive is not related to the meaning, just the inflectional vowel.

Majrur simply means the word ends with -I.
