Meaning

In Arabic, there is only one word which is used to indicate on the root meaning being carried out to both a greater extent as well as the greatest extent (comparative and superlative). This noun can occupy most grammatical positions in a sentence. Another point to note is that, unlike the participles, the meaning of this noun is usually quite transparent and can be induced without the use of a dictionary.

Furthermore, like the participles, it can be used as both a noun and an adjective.

This entity can be used in many grammatical ways:

1)      as an indefinite noun

a)      followed by مِنْ

b)      followed by a clarification (تَمْيِيْز)

2)      as a definite noun

a)      in a possessive construction (مُضَاف)

b)      as an adjective (صِفَة)

c)       We may reiterate it:

This is used in one of the following four manner:-

(1) This is followed by a preposition and a genitive noun.

(2) This is attached to an indefinite noun in Possessive phrase;

(3) The superlative noun has prefixed definite article.

(4) The superlative noun is attached to a definite noun, in possessive phrase.

Whenever the superlative noun is used in the first and second method, it will remain on the pattern of masculine whether that which is described is feminine, dual or plural.

However when it is used in the third manner, there must be agreement in gender and number between the superlative noun and that which it describes.

In its use in the fourth manner it is permissible to utilize the superlative noun in agreement or otherwise.

Sometimes the superlative noun is devoid of its superlative meanings and is used in the meanings of verbal adjective or the Active participle as used in 6:124 and 30:27.

Two words Khairun and Sharrun are used in the meanings of superlative as a contraction of Aakhairun and aashurrun.
