The Inflection and Indeclinability of Adverbial Expressions in Juz' Tabarak

Abstract

This study clarifies one of the most important phenomena in Arabic grammar, which is the cases of declension ('i‘rāb') and indeclinability ('banā’') of adverbs of both types (temporal and spatial) in Juz’ Tabarak, which is the twenty-ninth part of the Quran, and its number of surahs is eleven: Surah Al-Mulk, Al-Qalam, Al-Haqqah, Al-Ma‘arij, Nuh, Al-Jinn, Al-Muzzammil, Al-Muddaththir, Al-Qiyamah, Al-Insan, and Al-Mursalat.

The study sheds light on the precise rules of the phenomenon of declension and indeclinability of adverbs through the grammatical rules specific to this phenomenon, compiling them in a concise study and focusing on the applied aspect in the Quranic text. Most of the adverbs are declinable, some are indeclinable, and some come as declinable at times and indeclinable at other times.

The study relied on the statistical method, the descriptive method, and some other methods as needed, such as the historical method and the analytical method
