In the past, we learned that if we add a single harakah, or one sound, to the end of a singular word, we

can determine if its Raf, Nasb, or Jarr status. These are known as ending sounds. If we add a few letters

to the end of the word (as we did to make words pair in the previous session), thats called an ending

combination. Today, we will learn another set of ending combinations: the people plural combinations.

When an ism ends with an or and , its talking about a group of people. This combination is never used for anything that doesnt have a brain. In the Quran, you will see this set of combinations

used for angels and jinn, as well.

Note: Whenever you are trying to determine the status of an ism, you have to ask yourself, Is this an ending sound or an ending combination? You should ALWAYS check for ending combinations first.

Once youve decided that its an ending combination, you cant judge it as an ending sound. If you cant

find a combination, then look for ending sounds.
