Nouns and Adjectives

Arabic nouns and adjectives can be definite or indefinite

(Tanwin) indicates whether the word is indefinite. Example addition of (Oon ٌ ) to the end of the word.
أَجْرٌ
 a reward
عَذَابٌ
 a punishment
كِتَابٌ
 a scripture, document
آيَةٌ
 a sign, verse
رَحْمَةٌ
 a mercy
قُرْآنٌ
 a recitation
Indefinite words with no (Tanwin) can be learned by experience.
آخَرُ
 other
أَوَّلُ
 first

Nouns can be made definite by preceding them with the definite article (the) or following the genitive of possession.
THE DEFINITE ARTICLE
The definite article ال (al) is added as a prefix to a word.
اَلْبَلَدُ
 the town
اَلْعَذَابُ
 the punishment
As per Arabic phonetic theory. This vowel is used at the beginning of a sentence. It can also be replaced by a joining sign (wasla), linking the ل (L) of the article to the final vowel of the preceding word. In other words, the ال (al) can be found at the beginning, and elsewhere in the sentence/verse.
اَلْكِتَابُ اَلْمُبِينُ
 the clear book
The definite article requires two manipulations. The second is tricky, but you will get used to it.
1- When it precedes the moon letters, the ل (L) of the definite article is pronounced as ل (L) with a (sukun) written over it.
اَلْيَوْمُ
 the day
اَلْكِتَابُ
 the document
2- For other letters (sun letters), the pronunciation of the ل (L) is assimilated to the sound of the following consonant.
اَلرَّحْمَةُ
 the mercy
اَلرَّسُولُ
 the messenger
Unlike modern Arabic, only one ل (lam) is written when the article is prefixed to a word beginning with another ل (lam) according to the Quran.
اَلَّيْلُ
 the night
Always remember that if a word has the definite article, it cannot also have tanwin. (Words cannot be definite and indefinite at the same time).

Allahu, meaning “The God”, is a combination of definite article ال (al) and إِلَهٌ (ilahun), with the initial hamza (إِ) dropped. It is written without long vowel indication in some version of Qur'an.

Words in Arabic are masculine unless there are feminine because of form, meaning, category or convention.
A small number of words are feminine through meaning.
أُمٌّ
 mother
أَرْضٌ
 earth
Some feminine words occasionally have (Toon ةٌ) endings, such as:
اَلْآيَةُ
 the sign, the verse
آيَةٌ
 a sign, a verse
اَلرَّحْمَةُ
 the mercy
رَحْمَةٌ
 a mercy
There are a few masculine words with the (Toon ةٌ) ending, but the only common one is خَلِيفَةٌ a caliph.
Feminine adjectives can be formed from masculine ones by adding the (Toon ةٌ).
اَلْكَبِيرُ
 masculine
كَبِيرٌ
 masculine
اَلْكَبِيرَةُ
 feminine
كَبِيرَةٌ
 feminine
اَلشَّدِيدُ
 masculine
شَدِيدٌ

اَلشَّدِيدَةُ
 feminine
شَدِيدَةٌ

Adjectives follow and agree with nouns in definiteness, gender, number, and case.
اَلْفَوْزُ اَلْعَظِيمُ
 the great victory
اَلْيَوْمُ اَلْآخِرُ
 the last day
قُرْآنٌ مُبِينٌ
 a clear recitation
رَحْمَةٌ واسِعَةٌ
 a widespread mercy

Arabic can create a simple meaningful sentence without a verb. Only a noun and an adjective.
اَللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ
 God is mighty
اَللَّهُ قَوِيٌّ
 God is strong
اَللَّهُ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ
 God is powerful and mighty
In Arabic, adjectives are linked with single-letter words (و wa) which cannot be written separately.

The vocabulary that accompanies each lesson is intended to include all the words you need to understand the examples in the text of the lesson and to do the translation exercise that follows it. To make progress you will have to learn the vocabulary of each lesson as you come to it.

Na tumekupa Aya saba zinazo somwa mara kwa mara, na Qur'ani Tukufu.
فَإِن كَذَّبُوكَ فَقُل رَّبُّكُمْ ذُو رَحْمَةٍ وَٰسِعَةٍ وَلَا يُرَدُّ بَأْسُهُۥ عَنِ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلْمُجْرِمِينَ
Wakikukanusha basi wewe sema: Mola Mlezi wenu ni Mwenye rehema iliyo enea. Wala haizuiliki adhabu yake kwa watu wakhalifu.
وَٱضْمُمْ يَدَكَ إِلَىٰ جَنَاحِكَ تَخْرُجْ بَيْضَآءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ سُوٓءٍ ءَايَةً أُخْرَىٰ
Na uambatishe mkono wako kwenye ubavu. Utatoka mweupe pasipo kuwa na madhara yoyote. Hiyo ni ishara nyengine.
وَإِذْ قَالَ إِبْرَٰهِـۧمُ رَبِّ ٱجْعَلْ هَـٰذَا بَلَدًا ءَامِنًا وَٱرْزُقْ أَهْلَهُۥ مِنَ ٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ مِنْهُم بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْـَٔاخِرِ ۖ قَالَ وَمَن كَفَرَ فَأُمَتِّعُهُۥ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ أَضْطَرُّهُۥٓ إِلَىٰ عَذَابِ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ وَبِئْسَ ٱلْمَصِيرُ
Na alipo sema Ibrahim: Ee Mola wangu Mlezi! Ufanye huu uwe mji wa amani, na uwaruzuku watu wake matunda, wale wanao muamini Mwenyezi Mungu na Siku ya Mwisho. Akasema: Na mwenye kukufuru pia nitamstarehesha kidogo, kisha nitamsukumiza kwenye adhabu ya Moto, napo ni pahala pabaya mno pa kurejea.
وَأَنِ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُم مَّتَـٰعًا حَسَنًا إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَيُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِى فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهُۥ ۖ وَإِن تَوَلَّوْا۟ فَإِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابَ يَوْمٍ كَبِيرٍ
Na ili mumwombe msamaha Mola wenu Mlezi, kisha mtubie kwake. Atakustarehesheni starehe nzuri mpaka muda maalumu. Na atampa kila mwenye fadhila, fadhila yake. Na ikiwa mtakengeuka basi mimi nakukhofieni adhabu ya hiyo Siku Kubwa.
مَتَـٰعٌ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا مَرْجِعُهُمْ ثُمَّ نُذِيقُهُمُ ٱلْعَذَابَ ٱلشَّدِيدَ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْفُرُونَ
Hiyo ni starehe ya katika dunia tu, kisha marejeo yao ni kwetu. Tena tutawaonjesha adhabu kali kwa sababu ya kukufuru kwao.

Sema: Mimi naogopa adhabu ya Siku kubwa hiyo ikiwa nitamuasi Mola wangu Mlezi.
مِن قَبْلُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَأَنزَلَ ٱلْفُرْقَانَ ۗ إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذَابٌ شَدِيدٌ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ ذُو ٱنتِقَامٍ

مَّن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يُقْرِضُ ٱللَّهَ قَرْضًا حَسَنًا فَيُضَـٰعِفَهُۥ لَهُۥ وَلَهُۥٓ أَجْرٌ كَرِيمٌ
Ni nani atakaye mkopesha Mwenyezi Mungu mkopo mwema, ili amrudishie mardufu, na apate malipo ya ukarimu.

Mwenyezi Mungu amepiga muhuri juu ya nyoyo zao na juu ya masikio yao, na juu ya macho yao pana kifuniko. Basi watapata adhabu kubwa.
إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا۟ وَعَمِلُوا۟ ٱلصَّـٰلِحَـٰتِ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَأَجْرٌ كَبِيرٌ
Ila wale walio subiri wakatenda mema. Hao watapata msamaha na ujira mkubwa.
إِنِّى لَكُمْ رَسُولٌ أَمِينٌ
Hakika mimi kwenu ni Mtume muaminifu.
وَلَقَدْ فَتَنَّا قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجَآءَهُمْ رَسُولٌ كَرِيمٌ
Na hakika kabla ya hawa tuliwafanyia mtihani watu wa Firauni, na aliwafikia Mtume Mtukufu.
وَهَـٰذَا ٱلْبَلَدِ ٱلْأَمِينِ
Na kwa mji huu wenye amani!
ٱلَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُونَ مَعَ ٱللَّهِ إِلَـٰهًا ءَاخَرَ ۚ فَسَوْفَ يَعْلَمُونَ
Hao wanao fanya kuwa pamoja na Mwenyezi Mungu yupo mungu mwingine. Basi, watakuja jua!
بَلْ مَتَّعْتُ هَـٰٓؤُلَآءِ وَءَابَآءَهُمْ حَتَّىٰ جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْحَقُّ وَرَسُولٌ مُّبِينٌ
Bali tuliwastarehesha hawa na baba zao mpaka ikawafikia Haki na Mtume aliye bainisha.
هُوَ ٱلْأَوَّلُ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرُ وَٱلظَّـٰهِرُ وَٱلْبَاطِنُ ۖ وَهُوَ بِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ عَلِيمٌ
Yeye ndiye wa Mwanzo na ndiye wa Mwisho, naye ndiye wa Dhaahiri na wa Siri, naye ndiye Mjuzi wa kila kitu.
وَهُوَ ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ لَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ فِى ٱلْأُولَىٰ وَٱلْـَٔاخِرَةِ ۖ وَلَهُ ٱلْحُكْمُ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
Naye ni Mwenyezi Mungu ambaye hapana mungu isipo kuwa Yeye. Sifa zote njema ni zake Yeye, mwanzo na mwisho. Na hukumu ni yake Yeye. Na kwake Yeye mtarejeshwa.
فَإِن زَلَلْتُم مِّنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَتْكُمُ ٱلْبَيِّنَـٰتُ فَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
Na ikiwa mkateleza baada ya kukufikieni hoja zilizo wazi, basi jueni kuwa Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye nguvu na Mwenye hikima.
كَدَأْبِ ءَالِ فِرْعَوْنَ ۙ وَٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ ۚ كَفَرُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَأَخَذَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ ۗ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَوِىٌّ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ
Kama ada ya watu wa Firauni na walio kuwa kabla yao - walizikataa Ishara za Mwenyezi Mungu. Basi Mwenyezi Mungu aliwashika kwa sababu ya madhambi yao. Na hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye nguvu na mkali wa kuadhibu.
كَتَبَ ٱللَّهُ لَأَغْلِبَنَّ أَنَا۠ وَرُسُلِىٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ قَوِىٌّ عَزِيزٌ
Mwenyezi Mungu ameandika: Hapana shaka Mimi na Mtume wangu tutashinda. Hakika Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwenye nguvu, Mwenye kushinda.

Akasema mmoja katika wale wanawake: Ewe baba yetu! Muajiri huyu. Hakika mbora wa kumuajiri ni mwenye nguvu na muaminifu.
