Arabic Basic Verbs – Transliteration With English Translation

No matter how many nouns you are already familiar with, Arabic sentences also require Arabic Basic Verbs. Even if you know how to say “school” in Arabic, what good is it if you can’t ask, “Where is the school?” Alternatively, you can pronounce Tuesday in Arabic, yet you cannot invite your buddies on a Tuesday. Fortunately, because Arabic Basic Verbs are based on a group of two, three, four, and occasionally even five (though mainly three) consonants termed as root, they adhere to the same rules as the rest of the languages’ vocabulary.

Any alterations to the vowels between the consonants and any prefixes or suffixes connected describe grammatical functions such as a person, gender, number, tense, mood, and voice. This root conveys the basic meaning of the verb, which is essential for understanding Arabic Basic Verbs and recognizing how Arabic Basic Verbs form different patterns. Read More »

Oldest Pieces of Quran Discovered in the Great Mosque of Sanaa, Yemen

The Oldest Pieces Of Quran were discovered in the Great Mosque of Sanaa’s cellars. According to the Daily Bugün, Tayyar Altkulaç, a former Turkish Religious Affairs Director, has inspected the oldest Quran pieces discovered in Sanaa’s Great Mosque cellars in Yemen.

When the cellar door was opened, the workers discovered the Quran pieces. Why are they called pieces? Because in the early periods of Islam, there were not too many Qurans and people used to read them by cutting them into fragments. Over time, they were worn out and transmitted from one person to another.

The number of Qurans increased after writing was invented, and these fragments were compiled and stored in a place. Snakes emerged from the cellar when the door was opened. Water entered through a window in the cellar. To emphasize the discovery’s significance, Altkulaç stated that this is why some of these fragments decomposed and got dirty. Read More »
