إِنَّ  , the particle of emphasis and Nasbin (Seq # 64)

Consider the following sentence.

اَلْمَاءُ بَارِدٌ

Its meaning is “The water is cold”. The grammatical analysis of the above statement is as below.

الْمَاءُ   = المُبْتداء

بَارِدٌ    = الخَبَرُ

Let us now emphasize it by إنَّ (حَرْفُ تَوْكيدٍ وَ نَصْبٍ). It is as explained below.

بَارِدٌ	الْمَاءَ	إنَّ
خَبَرُ إِنَّ	اسْمُ إنَّ (مَنْصوب)	حَرْفُ تَوْكيدٍ وَ نَصْبٍ

Now its meaning is “Indeed, the water is cold”.

The particle of emphasis and Nasbin (إِنَّ) brings the following changes in the sentence.

1. The terminology of Mubtada will change to “Noun of Inna” which is اسْمُ إِنَّ
2. The terminology of Khabar will change to “Predicate of Inna” which is خَبَرُ إِنَّ
3. It will make the “Noun of Inna” (اسْمُ إِنَّ) as مَــنْــصُــوْبٌ.

Wherever we encounter إِنَّ  , it is our duty to determine اسْمُ إِنَّ and it should be مَــنْــصُــوْبٌ.

Exercises

• State TRUE or FALSE: The particle of emphasis and Nasbin إِنَّ is present in the verse Quran (18:94) and اسْمُ إِنَّ is يأجُوجَ (مَــنْــصُــوْبٌ).
• State TRUE or FALSE: The particle of emphasis and Nasbin إِنَّ is not present in the verse Quran (18:30) and اسْمُ إِنَّ is الَّذِينَ (مَــنْــصُــوْبٌ).

إنَّ   when joins with 14 pronouns (Seq # 65)

Consider the below statement and let us emphasize the below statement with إنَّ .

هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ

In this case إنَّ  will join هُوَ as below.

إنَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ

إنَّهُ

=

هُوَ

+

إنَّ

It’s translation is now “Indeed, he is mohammed”. Here the attached pronoun هُ in إنَّهُ is اسْمُ إِنَّ and it is مَــنْــصُــوْبٌ. Below table provides us the complete 14 combinations of إنَّ.

Thumb	finger 4	finger 3	finger 2	finger 1
