Nominal Sentence

الجملة الاسمية

Sentences that begin with a noun (subject + predicate)

Explanation

A nominal sentence (الجملة الاسمية) begins with a noun and has two parts:

1. **المبتدأ (Mubtada')** - Subject: The noun the sentence is about

2. **الخبر (Khabar)** - Predicate: What is said about the subject

**Structure:** Subject (مبتدأ) + Predicate (خبر)

Both parts are in the nominative case (مرفوع) in basic sentences.

Quranic Examples

ٱللَّهُ نُورُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ

24:35

Allāhu nūru as-samāwāti wal-arḍ

Allah is the Light of the heavens and the earth

ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

1:2

Al-ḥamdu lillāh

All praise is for Allah

Tips to Remember

  • 1.الْحَمْدُ is the subject (mubtada), لِلَّهِ is the predicate (khabar)
  • 2.The damma (ُ) on الْحَمْدُ shows it is nominative (marfūʿ)
