Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : All right, Shaykh, regarding the grammatical parsing of: "Ya Allah, for the Muslims," did we parse all of it as a noun in the genitive case?
The Shaykh : No, not all of it; each one is on its own. "Lillahi" is a preposition and a noun in the genitive case, and "lil-Muslimin" is a preposition and a noun in the genitive case.
The student: But we did not mention an address (munada) in it!
The Shaykh : Originally, "Lillahi" is the address.
The student: So we do not need to say: just?
The Shaykh : No, no, we say: a preposition and a noun in the genitive case attached to the "ya," meaning in the sense of "I call upon."
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Huh?
The student: Is the genitive case less? A preposition and a noun in the genitive case, or the verbal noun?
The Shaykh : No, not all of it; each one is on its own. "Lillahi" is a preposition and a noun in the genitive case, and "lil-Muslimin" is a preposition and a noun in the genitive case.
