Noun Gender

المذكر والمؤنث

Arabic nouns are masculine or feminine

Explanation

Every Arabic noun is either masculine (مذكر) or feminine (مؤنث).

Signs of Feminine Nouns:

1. **تاء مربوطة (ة):** Most common - رَحْمَةٌ (mercy), جَنَّةٌ (paradise)

2. **ألف مقصورة (ى):** دُنْيَا (world), كُبْرَى (greatest)

3. **Naturally feminine:** أُمّ (mother), أُخْت (sister)

4. **Body parts in pairs:** عَيْن (eye), يَد (hand)

**Masculine:** Usually no special ending

Quranic Examples

إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ ٱللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ

7:56

Inna raḥmata Allāhi qarīb

Indeed, Allah's mercy is near

وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا أَزْوَٰجٌ مُّطَهَّرَةٌ

2:25

Wa lahum fīhā azwājun muṭahharah

And for them therein are purified spouses

Tips to Remember

  • 1.رَحْمَةٌ ends in ة so it is feminine
  • 2.Adjectives must match the noun in gender: أَزْوَٰجٌ مُّطَهَّرَةٌ
