Emphasis Particle Inna

إنَّ وأخواتها

"إنَّ" emphasizes a statement (indeed/verily)

Explanation

"إنَّ" (inna) is a particle that emphasizes the statement that follows. It is called one of the "sisters of inna" (إنَّ وأخواتها).

The Sisters of Inna:

  • إنَّ (inna) - indeed, verily
  • أنَّ (anna) - that (used in reported speech)
  • كَأنَّ (ka'anna) - as if
  • لَكِنَّ (lākinna) - but, however
  • لَيْتَ (layta) - if only (wish)
  • لَعَلَّ (laʿalla) - perhaps, hopefully
  • Grammar Effect:

  • The noun after إنَّ takes the accusative case (nasb)
  • The predicate remains in the nominative (raf')
  • Quranic Examples

    إِنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟

    2:6

    Inna alladhīna kafarū

    Indeed, those who disbelieved

    إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

    2:32

    Inna Allāha ʿalīmun ḥakīm

    Indeed, Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise

    Tips to Remember

    • 1.Notice اللهَ has a fatha (accusative) after إنَّ
    • 2.The predicate عَلِيمٌ has a damma (nominative)
