Protection noon ن (Seq # 102)

In order not to disturb the verb structure protection ن will be added, when the detached pronoun أَنَــا joins the verb. Let us understand by translating the statement “You created me” by using the verb خَــلَــقَ.

خَــلَــقْــتَــنِــي

=

أَنَــا

+

خَــلَــقْــتَ

Instead of خَــلَــقْــتَــيْ it is خَــلَــقْــتَــنِــيْ. The added ن is called as protection ن (نُــوْنُ الْــوِقَــايَــةِ).
