That is, when something is changed from one thing to another, it is changed from one thing to another, meaning from one measure to another. It can be a proper noun and it can be a descriptive adjective. Al-Adl occurs in proper nouns and in descriptive adjectives. That is, it occurs in proper nouns, so the obstacle to declension is being a proper noun and al-Adl.

Okay, its example in proper nouns: 'Umar. We always read 'Umar, and 'Umar ibn al-Khattab, 'Umar ibn al-Khattab. Why did we say 'Umar? Because it is a name that is not declined. What is the obstacle to its declension? Being a proper noun and al-Adl. What is al-Adl? They said: because the original form of 'Umar is 'Aamir. 'Aamir, so it was changed from 'Aamir to 'Umar, from 'Aamir to 'Umar.

"Zuhul bought Mars from the Sun *** So the moons competed in Mercury"
It says: descending order. Zuhul is the highest. It bought Jupiter, Mars, from the Sun, the Sun. So the moons competed here, Venus, in Mercury, Mercury, the Moon. The Moon is the lowest, the lowest of the seven planets. Okay, we said that al-Adl occurs in proper nouns, so you say: what is the obstacle to declension? Being a proper noun and al-Adl.

But He says, Mighty and Majestic: [Al-Baqarah 2:184] The obstacle to declension is being a descriptive adjective and al-Adl, being a descriptive adjective and al-Adl. Okay, it is changed from what?
