→ : Ayah 2 to 4 comprising of 9 words constitute one simple nominal sentence- الْجُمْلَةُ الاِسْمِيَّةُ; the addition of adjectives, prepositional, possessive and adjectival phrases to a simple sentence does not change it into a complex sentence. Semantically it is declarative expressing a fact that is not bound in time and space. It is as such even before the physical realm was made to take existence.

The topic of this study is the word: ; and its sub-topic is: epithet - adjective as one of: The names - nouns attributing the sublime preeminence, proportion, equilibrium, admiration, grandeur, just, majesty, absoluteness, and beauty; infinitely awesome.

: It is mentioned 26 times exclusively for Allah - Ar'Reh'maan the Exalted. In three ayahs, it is the delayed subject in inverted nominal sentence. In two ayahs: is not mentioned, instead pronoun is used.  All Ayahs are reproduced in the end.

 : It is the nominal Sentence:  الْجُمْلَةُ الاِسْمِيَّةُ  and the remaining phrases are additions.

•  مُبْتَدَأ: Subject may be a single noun, proper noun; demonstrative pronoun; a pronoun; a relative clause; or it may be a phrase other than a prepositional phrase. But it cannot be a complete sentence. However, if the topic of a sentence is a phrase: it may itself contain embedded sentence.  مُبْتَدَأ: Subject is like a start codon in genes and it must be firstly identified in the sentence for accurate translation.

• The topic of a sentence cannot be any of the following two elements;

                 (a) Prepositional phrase;

                 (b) Adverbial phrase

When any of above two entities appear in the beginning - location of subject of a sentence, they in fact relate to the predicate/ comment and the order of the sentence has been inverted. Such are inverted nominal sentences.

•  مُبْتَدَأ: Subject is usually definite. It can be indefinite in certain situations; we will discuss it when it occurs in the text.

•  مُبْتَدَأ: Subject is always nominative.

خَبَر : Predicate of a nominal sentence - comment. The comment of a sentence may be a single word, a phrase, or an entire sentence. When it is an entire sentence, that sentence will have its own structure and all the rules will apply to it as well. The embedded sentence must be treated as a brand new sentence with its own internal rules, grammatical positions, and so forth.

: [مبتدأ مرفوع بالضمة] It is the Subject/Topic. The peculiar identification of Nominal Subject is the ending vowel, it is always nominative. In Arabic, common nouns are indefinite by default. There is no indefinite article like the English "a" and "an". Instead there is a declension that indicates "indefiniteness"; this is called "Nunation" الْتَّنْوِيْنُ ــًــٍــٌ  tanwīn symbols. One way of rendering a common noun definite is by prefixing a particle: أَدَاْةُ الْتَّعْرِيْفِ the definite article: . And such word is called: معرف باللام a word made definite by definite article. The definite article - is apparently composed of two letters, the first one is a consonant: .هَمْزَةُ However, this is of the type that is called: هَمْزَةُ الوَصْلِ "the hamza of connection". This is written by placing a "small neck" of consonant "ص" on letter "ا".

The letter "ل" of definite article  in the word is calledاللاَّمُ القَمَرِيَّةُ : "lunar laam". This is so called since it is prefixed and followed by one of 14 letters of Arabic alphabet which are termed as "Moon letters"; they are ء ، ب ، ج ، ح ، خ ، ع ، غ ، ف ، ق ، ك ، م ، هـ ، و ، ي.

Types of definite article:

1. الْعَهْدِيَّةُ: Definite article is referential. It means reference, previous knowledge, acquaintance; it refers to a thing already known to the speaker - author and the listener -reader. The source of knowledge could be either:

(a) الْعَهْدُ الْحُضُورِىُّ : The thing is right in front of you, presence. Thereby, the speaker and listener know it.

(b) الْعَهْدُ الذِّكْرِيُّ: The object or the person has been mentioned before either by the speaker or the listener. It is knowledge gained  by its having been mentioned earlier.

(c) الْعَهْدُ الذِّهْنِيُّ : In this the common knowledge is based on context.

2. الْجِنْسِيَّةُ : This type refers to the genus. It has two sub-divisions:

(a) الْجِنْسِيَّةُ لأِسْتِغْرَاقِ الْجِنْسِيَّةِ: It is used to comprehend all the members of the genus; universality.

(b) الْجِنْسِيَّةُ لبَيَانَ الحَقِيقَةِ:  It is to point only a fact, it does not include all members of the genus; generally speaking: 4:34.

(3) الزَّائِدَةُ : Certain Arabic words have it as inseparable prefix, like relative pronouns and some names of countries, cities.

: The prefixed definite article is of the type: الْجِنْسِيَّةُ لأِسْتِغْرَاقِ الْجِنْسِيَّةِ denoting/ascribing to the suffixed noun universality - not bound to time-frame or event.

The suffixed noun originates from Root "ح م د". The basic perception infolded in the Root is to willingly and sincerely acknowledge and appreciate the grandeur and greatness, positive and proportionate qualities, traits and acts of a person and thereby revere and express admiration. ح م د: It is used only for a person of will and intellect and not for matter and other living creatures while the English word "praise" refers to expression of admiration for somebody or something. حمد) ح م د ) It is the prerogative and exclusive right of a person intrinsically possessor of grandeur, greatness, power, dominion, sovereignty, actions etc., and on the other hand it is an obligation upon others to recognize, acknowledge and express their admiration reflecting willful and affectionate acceptance of their relative inferiority and humility.

The only passive verb used in Grand Qur'aan reflects that functionally its use is for reason - in relation to acts—performances—accomplishments:

• And they are fond that they be appreciated for that which they have not yet done even once. [refer 3:188]

Classical lexicons stated that it is antonym of censure, vilification, vituperation.

The notion of Root ح م د in English is portrayed by the semantic field "praise":

[Roget’s 21st Century Thesaurus / [ed. by B. A. Kipfer]. – N.-Y. : Laurel, 1993. – 860 p.]

Another lexicographical source – Oxford Compact Thesaurus / [ed. by A. S. Hornby]. – Oxford : 92 Oxford University Press, 2005. – 929 p.  – provides such constituents of the semantic field of ‘praise’:

Praise – commend, express admiration for, applaud, pay tribute to, speak highly of, eulogize, compliment, congratulate, sing the praises of, rave about, go into raptures about, heap praises on, wax lyrical about, make much of, pat on the back, take one’s hat off to, lionize, admire, admire, hail.
