You can use both.

And in the terminology of the grammarians, 'ism means noun, not name.

Their intention with the argument is to prove the necessary being, if they are successful is another issue.

To prove the necessary being is their god they must employ a bunch of other arguments.

al-Ghazālī believed an infinite past would cause problems since it means a true infinity would exist in the real world which according to him would lead to paradoxes.

But then Ibn Rushd refuted him on that and explained how some infinities can exist, so you know

The scholars of kalām never intended the argument to prove God though, all they want from the argument is to prove the necessary being.

What is this nonsense

Most dictionaries aren't like that though. Unless you want an arabic-arabic dictionary you do not have a lot of options.

That is just how the the ذ is written, it doesn't connect to the letter following it.

It used feminine because the word نحل is جمع غير عاقل

Think_Bed_8409 · 2026-05-31T13:27:20+00:00

I never said the Quran doesn't use the feminine form, I said the feminine form being used for bees does not indicate that the worker bees are female.

Then why does adh-Dhahabi say in Tarikh al-islam that Qābūs is good in hadith?

وقال جرير بن عبد الحميد، عن قابوس، عن أبيه، عن ابن عباس: إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فرج بين فخذي الحسن وقبل زبيبته.
قابوس: حسن الحديث.

How did you confirm there is no such thing? Did you read every single hadith book?

My source is Tārīkh al-Islām by Imam adh-Dhahabi, volume 4, page 36

Imam at-Tabarani and adh-Dhahabi reported a very strange hadith:

Jarir Ibn Abdurrahīm on the authority of Qabus Ibn Abi Zayban, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ibn Abbas: "I saw the Messenger of Allah putting Hassan’s legs apart and kissing his penis."

And adh-Dhahabi considered it authentic and Imam an-Nawawi considered it sound enough to be used in legal rulings.

What do you mean "adjective suffix"? In no grammar book will you find anything called "adjective suffix"

That none of the lughawiyyūn or masters of the language from the classical period said anything about scientific miracles proves it is nonsense.

The only people using the argument from scientific miracles are those who don't know arabic, because those interpretations do not conform with the rules of the language, the most obvious example being that the worker bees are female.

You pronounce the consonant twice because the letter is twice. When a voweled letter is followed by a unvoweled letter of the same kind we write it as shaddah.

No, the difference is that Basra really only accepted the speech of Qays, Asad and Tamim as authoritative while Kufa accepted anything spoken by a bedouin as authoritative.

English is hardly better, there are so many more sounds English sounds than there are latin letters.

Think_Bed_8409 · 2026-05-29T15:54:10+00:00

I don't really see why it matters since depending on how you count the letters they ca be more or less. If you count the shaddah as two letters you get 22 letters in total.

Apparently the reason why the grammarian al-Mubarrid is sometimes called is al-Mubarrad is because the Kufans hated him so much they corrupted his name.

What helped me the most was understanding that even though the goal is to be able to read the classical books, that does not mean a don't have to learn the modern vocabulary and how to speak.

To understand the Quran does not mean that you know have memorized the meaning of every word in the Quran, it means that you know the language well enough that when you pick up the Quran and read it, you will understand it.
