مدى جواز إلحاق الصفة بالمضاف إليه في قوله تعالى : ذو العرش المجيد

Abstract EN

This study aims to recognize the possibilities to describe the throne of Allah with glorification in terms of linguistic sense; and further to respond to those who denied such description shown in the Quranic verse claiming that such description would not be for anything but for Allah.

to this aim, the study has relied upon two main axes as shown below: -axis i: is concerned with the meaning of ‘throne’ (al-Arsh) and ‘glorification’) al-Majeed) in language, Quran and Sunnah - axis ii: is intended to mention the viewpoints of scholars and interpreters who tried to interpret the verse; demonstrate the readings, attitude among grammarians towards such readings; and eventually highlighting the issue of adding an adjective to the genitive-and whichever is more right.

with the above-mentioned axes, the study concluded with several deliverables as indicated below.

-the term ‘throne’) al-Arsh (has several meanings and senses among the Arabs’ say.

the exact sense and meaning of the said term is determined in accordance with the word added thereto.

-the term ‘throne’ (al-Arsh) refers to elevation and highness.

throne or al-Arsh is the most prominent creatures at all-as proved by evidence -verses including the term ‘throne’ or al-Arsh or even its derivatives signal glorification, sublime and highness.

-unsurprisingly, the throne or al-Arsh is described with glorification and highness since Allah annexes it to himself in recognition for its sublime rank - to Arabs, glorification is not a single adjective.

rather, it is a set of integrated characteristics signaling abundance, honor, generosity and giving.

- glorification and its derivatives is used to depict creatures and thins-as noticed among Arabs-not confined to Allah.

however, Allah’s glorification is different than theirs-as is the case with other characteristics such as generosity and grandness.

–wisdom-composed of conjunction of two names of Allah together- is having several characteristics when are combined together.

such characteristics would not emerge if separated.

to name but a few is ‘al-Hameed al-Majeed’, ‘al-Aziz al-Hakeem’ and the like.

- some grammarians see the term ‘al-Majeed’ with a preposition to the next- most probably in order to remove the description of the throne annexed to it.

-prepositional phrase is a controversial issue among grammarians.

such issue may be tackled later.

- perception experts do not tolerate addition of an adjective to the noun.

-this Quranic verse ‘Dhu al-Arsh al-Majeed’ is quoted to have multiple predicates.

-unsurprisingly, having an adjective after several nouns is a prepositional style in Arabic language.

-an adjective is annexed to the adverbial phrase according to the intent of the speaker – if they could accept adjective.

should there be any verbal or corporeal term signaling an adjective to either, an adjective shall be then annexed.
