In this lesson we will Insha Allah learn new rule related to the Mudaf and Mudaf Ilaihi. We have learnt in Lesson No. 5 section 2  that the Mudaf is definite even though it doesn't have alif-laam.  We also learnt that the adjective of a definite noun is always definite, so when we add an adjective to a Mudaf it will be definite like it e.g.,

• بَيْتُ الإِمَامِ الْجَدِيْدُ it means "The new house of the Imam", or

• مَكْتَبُ الْوَلَدِ الْمَكْسُوْرُ means "The boy's broken desk", or

• نَافِذَةُ الْغُرْفَةِ الْمَفْتُوْحَةُ means "The opened window of the room."
   

It is important to identify above the adjectives and the Mudaf and Mudaf Ilaihi.

Similarly when the Mudaf Ilaihi (possessor) is a possessive pronoun, the adjective of such a Mudaf whom it qualifies is definite e.g.,

• بَيْتُهُ الْجَدِيْدُ it means "His new house", or

• نَافِذَتُهَا الْمَفْتُوْحَةُ means "Its opened window".

It must be remembered that the adjective of the Mudaf (i.e. possessed noun) that it describes always take the same case as that of Mudaf i.e.,

• If the Mudaf is in nominative case, the adjective will also take the nominative case e.g,

  • كِتَابُ الْمُدَرِّسِ الْجَدِيْدُ literally means "The new book of the teacher".

• If the Mudaf is in genitive case, the adjective will also take the genitive case e.g.,

  • الْكِتَابُ عَلَى مَكْتَبِ الْمُدَرِّسِ الْجَدِيْدِ means "The book is on the teacher's new desk".
     

• If the Mudaf is a feminine noun, the adjective should also be feminine i.e.,

  • حَقِيْبَةُ الْوَلَدِ الْقَدِيْمَةُ literally means "The bag of the boy is old".
