- In this part of lesson we will learn all the Relative Pronouns i.e., singular, dual and plural for masculine as well as feminine objects, In-Shā’-Allâh (God-Willing).
- In the previous sections we have already defined the Relative Pronoun as “A Pronoun which refers or relates to some noun preceding it ".
- In Arabic language there are different Relative Pronouns for the singular, dual and plural objects which are illustrated below:

Al-Latāni | Feminine/Dual | |||
Those all/Who all | Al-ladhīna | Masculine/ Plural | ||
Al-Lā’ī | Feminine/Plural |
