Need understand with .......

[nutty]

Assalamun alaikum

I learning Arabic and learnt about jumlah ismiyyah - nominal sentence.

I read here http://muslimmatters.org/2008/01/07/alhamdulillah-a-linguistic-miracle-of-the-quran/

that Alhamduilah is jumlah ismiyyah
What i wanted to ask is:-

Alhamdu illah

Is Alhamdu- mubtadah
for Allah - illah - khabar

Isnt Allah a noun so how can alhamdu be a noun isnt alhamd it a adjective


What about Allahu Akbar is the jumlah ismiyyah.. Allahu being mubtadah adn akbar being khabar......

interesting stuff all these..

I hope some1 can help me understand this

 

[Insaanah]

Alhamdu illah

It's alhamdu lillah, you've missed out the laam.

Is Alhamdu- mubtadah
for Allah - illah - khabar

AlHamdu (lit. the praise) is mubtadah and lillaah, which is li (for/belongs to) + Allah, is khabar.

Isnt Allah a noun so how can alhamdu be a noun isnt alhamd it a adjective

They are both nouns, there is no adjective here. AlHamdu is a definite noun, and literally means "al (the) Hamdu (praise)", though the meaning of 'al' as in the phrase alHamdu is given in the link you gave. Remember that the khabar is not the noun Allah, but the partial sentence lillah, meaning, "belongs to Allah".

What about Allahu Akbar is the jumlah ismiyyah.. Allahu being mubtadah adn akbar being khabar......

Yes.

Hope that helps a bit.
