['Abdul Rahmaan]

ردء

رداء

[ژاله]

['Abdul Rahmaan]

Thanks sis.

I'll wailt for someone else to tell me about the former.

Also, how to pronounce it? Ridaa-e?

[Nora.]

ردء is too formal in Arabic

Even though Arabic is my first language ,I looked for it in the Arabic dictionary :P
it has many meanings .. it depends on how you use it in the sentence

if it pronounces as (red'u) it means Aid or help(I'm so bad in translation)

الرِّدْءُ (القاموس المحيط)
الرِّدْءُ، بالكسر: العَوْنُ، والمادَّةُ، والعِدْلُ الثَّقِيلُ.
ورَدَأَه به، كَمَنَعَهُ: جَعَلَهُ له رِدْءاً وقُوَّةً وعِماداً،
و~ الحائِطَ: دَعَمَهُ،
كَأَرْدَأَهُ،
و~ بِحَجَرٍ: رَماهُ به،
و~ الإِبِلَ: أحْسَنَ القِيامَ عليها.
وأرْدَأَهُ: أعانَهُ،
و~ على مِئَةٍ: زادَ،
و~ السَّتْرَ: أرْخَاهُ، وسَكَّنَهُ، وأفْسَدَهُ، وأقَرَّهُ، وفَعَلَ رَدِيئاً، أو أصابَهُ.
ورَدُؤَ، كَكَرُمَ، رَداءَةً: فَسَدَ، فهو رَدِيءٌ من أرْدِئَاءَ، بهَمْزَتَيْنِ.

رداء

means what the person is dressing .. it's called (reeda'a)
It's also formal ..while you reading arabic books ,you'll find the word thee'ab (ثياب) instead of reeda'a (رداء)
It's used more than reeda'a in Arabic writing




it's pretty much similar to the word clothes


don't forget me from your du'a

تسطع

تستطع

تسطع

تستطع

These two words are in sorat alkahf in quran

He (Khidr) said: "Verily! You will not be able to have patience with me!(surat Alkahf 67)

"And as for the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town; and there was under it a treasure belonging to them; and their father was a righteous man, and your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strength and take out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord. And I did it not of my own accord. That is the interpretation of those (things) over which you could not hold patience." (surat alkahf 82)

both of them mean can or mean is able to they are two forms of the same verb
in arabic when we increase the letters in the word by adding here the letter ت it makes the verb more strong
at the first aya we used تستطع because the matter was hard for Musa peace be upon him that he wasn`t able to interprete what his friend Alkhedr doing

while in the other aya we used تسطع because now the mater is easier that Alkhedr had already given him the interpretation of what he wasen`t able to understand

:sl: Brother and Sister,

I am very interested to learn Arabic as writing, I am myself beautifully reciting Arabic in Qur'an and can read Arabic well. I need to improve my writing since long times. :D

Wasalaam.

As a rule of thumb in arabic:

If there is an increase in the number of letters of the word there is an increase it its meaning.

As for the word ridaa' then it is specific and refers to upper part of an garment. For an example the clothes you were for ihraam they are made up of two pieces there is the ridaa' that you wear on your shoulders and then there is the izaar that you tie around your waist.
