"كلما" في القرآن: دراسة تحليلية استقرائية

Abstract EN

The word “kullama’ (whatever, however, whenever) consists of two propositions: “kull” (all/whole), and “ma” (what/ how/when).

The first part “kull” is infinitive, which occurs as an accusative (adverb), while the second part “ma” is an indefinite relative adverb.

In fact, the second part makes the first an adverb.

The word “kullama” introduces verbal sentences only and is more frequently used for the past tense.

What makes “kullama” accusative is the following verb which function as its apodosis in reality.

This word occurs 17 times in the Qur’an where it is used as a single attached form in Al-Madinah version, except for two positions: (Surah Alnissa’: 91) and (Surah Al- Mu’minun: 44).

There are two more positions but they are controversial.

To establish a rule of where to attach or split the word is not easy to canonize since other versions of the Holy Book (Mushafs) follow different forms.

Therefore, to set a rule about the form of “Kullama” is not plausible.
