Example sentences

• كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ

  As the Exalted said in His Book.

  كِتَابه — His Book. The noun 'book' with a possessor 'His' fused onto its end, the owner being God. The suffix replaces the separate word English needs and also makes the noun definite, so no 'the' is added. Sitting after the preposition 'in', it carries the genitive ending.

  كُتُبِهِ — His Book. A noun with the attached -hi (His) on the end marking the owner, and it sits in the genitive because the preposition 'in' governs it. The -hi points back to Allah as the possessor, giving 'in His Book'.
